In other news, I've misplaced my checkbook.  Like, badly.  I had it on the coffee table Monday night, and now it's nowhere to be had.  I haven't used it since -- I rarely use it, in fact.  I'm thinking it might have got mixed in with the trash (we had pizza and wings and beer for the Hurricanes game Monday night), in which case... I don't know.  I guess I should call the bank, but damn, what a pain in the ass.  It either got knocked into the trash, or one of the cats knocked it off the table and... I don't know what.  It's not under the couch, chair, or ottoman, so I'm at a loss.  Bleh.

In other other news, I received my order from Peet's today.  Can I just say, the Earl Grey with Lavender?  O. M. G.  *loves*  I also got some Irish Breakfast, some Golden Dragon Oolong, and some peppermint tea.  I'm waiting to get a tetsubin before I make the Golden Dragon, but I opened the tin and smelled it, and ohemgee, it's divine.  Seriously.  Like I told somnambulicious, you just want to roll around in the scent of it.  So far, though, I've only tried the Earl Grey with Lavender, and it's gorgeous.  I know a few people who don't like Earl Greys, and this tastes enough unlike an Earl Grey that I'd recommend it to them. 

And in other other other news, one of my beloved OGAM betas has told me she simply doesn't have the time anymore to beta for me, which brings me down to two betas for OGAM rather than my preferred three (yes, I'm that anal).  Is there anyone out there who'd be interested in beta'ing for the last ten chapters or so?  Mostly I like folks to point out when I've overlooked a grammatical something, or made a typo, or left a word out of a sentence (or put too many in -- both of which I've done many times).  My big loves, though, are when people point out little lapses in continuity, character behavior, or when a scene just doesn't seem to ... work, for whatever reason.  I can usually catch grammar stuff -- it's the non-grammar stuff I appreciate help with.  (And, yes, the two I have are wonderfully competent, honest people.  However... I have a thing with doing things in threes.  Mild OCD perhaps.  Hard to tell.) 

What I don't want?  "Chapter's great! Doesn't need anything!"  I mean, if you like something, tell me (or I may talk myself into changing it), but if something doesn't work?  Let me know, and don't be shy about it.

So, any takers?

...Um... it's very, very sweet of you to offer, but... there's a small problem. See... the fic in question is, well, it's an Inuyasha fic, but that's not the problem. The problem is that it's 52 chapters in, and about ten chapters from the end. And... yeah. I've stopped counting how many pages the fic itself is -- something like 600 last time I checked. So, while I appreciate the offer, I don't want to scare you. :)

Haha, that's monstrous. XD But I like those kinds of huge honking fics, so since you've found someone else (*has read your other comments*), I think I'll just read it instead of beta'ing. ^_~

Well, be warned that the first eight chapters make me cringe and want to hide. (I'll probably do some heavy revising once the story is complete.) If you can get past those, then it sort of evens out.

Heh, I think we all feel that way about our work at some point. Its all wonderful and fantabulous in the beginning, but then you look back and go, "What was I thinking?!" ...then you revise. ^^
