Fanficrants! Come for the rants...

( Skip if you don't want to read )

To all my peeps in and around Oklahoma City, I hope you're safe in the wake of yesterday's vicious tornado that ripped through Moore.

This time-lapse footage of that tornado is just...it's stunning.

I live in a part of the U.S. where tornadoes are honestly not that common (although when they do come, they come in clusters as what happened in Western Massachusetts a couple of years ago). Microbursts, yeah. But monsters like this?

Dear God. That footage is pure nightmare fuel.

(Did I mention that my second-worst fear after heights is tornadoes? I'm really, really scared of tornadoes. I do not know how people in the U.S. Midwest/Southeast/Southwest can live with the constant threat of tornadoes over their heads. I really, and truly, do not. I will take the most violent of nor'easters — aka, a hurricane with snow — over a tornado any day.)

In the meantime, to help the Moore tornado victims, I'll be texting money via 90999 REDCROSS.

And now pp 29 and 30 are done as well.
Phew, that was the most awkward conversation I ever had to write!
Now on to the criminal archaeologists!

I did enjoy the movie; it was entertaining, the action sequences were well done and Uhura got a couple of Nice Moments, making up for the last movie. (Still a bit in the 'most of her character development is as 'Spock's girlfriend' though.)

I got an 84 on my test!! AN 84!!! I'm going to pass, and at least have a high B! *_* So happy!

( Cut for depression )

Anwyay, back to happy things.

YOKO KANNO IS GOING TO BE AT OTAKON!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD.

YOKO KANNO, TM REVOLUTION, selphish, indulgent_sin MY FRIENDS FROM SOUTH TEXAS, AND THE LARP!!!

Shit.

I don't know if I can contain my excitement. ;_;

 A depressing amount of these stories begin with the phrase:  So, I went shopping today...

I'm eating lunch almost an hour early I AM AN ANARCHIST

The heating/AC system is switched over manually twice a year, so we can't have heat and AC on successive days. Given New York has mild enough summers there are only a few times I actually use AC (mostly at night, because it helps me sleep), this normally isn't a problem...

... except there always seems to be a couple of days that get unseasonably cold right after or right before the changeover. Like today. It's currently 8° C/46° F outside at 11 AM. Which would be a nice day... in January. (My apartment is 66° F; it might have been warmer except I forgot to switch the thermostat over to 'cool', so it was trying to warm the apartment without the heat being on... which doesn't work.)

Thankfully I have plenty of blankets. On the other hand, the urge to just build a nest in them and not come out until the temperature cracks the double digits in Celsius is pretty strong.

Editing Crystal Structures 2: Progress report.

The crystal reader is working. The Rangers (minus Niko) are finally back at BETA. Goose had his dreaded conversation with Walsh about Killbane, 2nd generation STs, and his fertility. And Doc already had to answer for five days adult Tri-D service on the bill for his hotel room.

Remaining issue: Goose still has to ask Niko if she's okay or...

I'll merge that with the next meditation scene and her flipping on him about mental composure and violence. Afterwards, it's the translators being shipped in, the confrontation between S and G rising anew, and then I'm back on track with the plot structure of the old version!

The aspens/poplars have leaves the size of quarters, the delphiniums are about eight inches tall, the grass is green, and it is snowing.

So, as I sit facing a window that shows me this all too clearly, I will do a knitting update and silently think a stream of profanity to make a sailor blush.

I have been really bad about documentation for the last year at least but here's some attempt at catching up with photographic evidence. ( Lots of photos under this cut. )

For those that remember my ranting about my craft blog, Omnifariously Knotty, well it's still lacking OpenID... but there are posts! Not many, but there's actual content. To be specific I put up a post on what I did to make Namid's white top (seen in the lace stole photos) from a baby top/dress pattern as well as a post on how to modify my shorts pattern into capris.

 In a 5 minute period while having lunch in the McDonalds in Walmart I saw:

Not much to say but I am trying to post more.

In one-on-one therapy on Monday my therp and I agreed that I would try to eat lunch at the same time every day, to start getting a little more routine going. I spaced it Tuesday, remembered Wednesday, and I have about an hour to go today.

Did a good thing this morning, went to the 7-11. Got some stuff to drink (they still have a sale on 2 2liters of Coke, and I got a 6-pack of that Jack Daniels brand cooler) and some cake balls. I'd meant to get some Kool Whip but I forgot.

Got kind of serious with my caseworker yesterday. Pointed out to him that my being so cooperative and understanding even though he's really flaky isn't because I don't need his help, it's because I am too anxious to make waves and scared to speak up for myself.

So that's life right now. The cats love playing with the laser pointer so I am trying to do that more.

Somarium app is done.

I took the wrong bus home last night and didn't get home until 10:30, which left me so brain dead that it's a wonder I finished the app. Hopefully it's still coherent, but I've already submitted it so I'll refrain from looking back at it until I hear if it's accepted or not. u_u

I was too tired to remember to do the laundry, and no more sewing got done. However I will have time tonight, if I don't pass out when I get home since I only had 3 hours of sleep last night. Ugh.

I got a 73 on my test. That's honestly higher than I was expecting, but it still drags me down from my 95% average. I really hope it's not by too much, because the final's still going to be super hard. I found out it's 33 questions, but there's a lot to go over.

Now to just sit here and vegetate and try to wake up my brain at work.

Edit: UGGGH EW GROSS. Kroger brand oatmeal is NOT an acceptable replacement for the brand name. DISGUSTING. I don't even think I can force myself to go through the rest of the box. Great. There goes $3.

Edit Edit: There were oreo cookies in the break room. I am okay with this. I don't even care if it makes me fat.
