Well, another Black Friday, and nobody's been trampled to death by crazed shoppers as far as I've heard. Of course, the day's not over yet. (...I've really turned into a misanthrope the last month or so, and it seems like the start of the holiday season has really exacerbated it. I'm kinda worried about this.)
Of course, I really can't complain. I'm no more immune to a few bucks off Stuff I Don't Really Need than the next person, I just indulge my inner rabid consumer on the Internet. Although it must be said that Amazon does not play fair in this regard: I went on the site to get some CDs for my mom, and it waved 358/2 Days with eight bucks off at me. With fifteen minutes left to snag it. Dear readers, there are many temptations I can resist, but that was just dirty tactics.
*sigh* Ah well. Ten days 'til pretty boys in black cloaks on my DS, so I guess I can deal. |

(And now I have to go find out why the hell my credit card hasn't been paid off in full, despite me having three times that much in the bank. *grumbles* Catch me buying a bus ticket that way again...)
((EDIT: Ah - scratch that, sorted. It was because I hadn't used the damn thing for so long that the direct debit had expired. XD)) |

1. Tory's Meat Man freaked me right the hell out. Something about the hipbones sticking out under the skin like that. *shudder* ...On a related subject, NEVER GOING DEEP-SEA DIVING NEVER EVER.
2. Okay, Jessie's cute, I like her. ^_^
3. Adam was so totally channeling Sephiroth on that last bit, it's amazing. If my Fluffiroth muse wasn't awake and yammering at me already, this would have woken him up. ...On a related subject, I need those boots. |

I have a new shirt! ...Okay, I houldn't really have bought it, but! It's long enough to go past my arse and has a tie-back thing for typing my sleeves back into the rolled-up-and-out-of-the-way position! No jokes, you lot. And it has POCKETS. Awesome!
(That and the sleeves actually cover my wrists. I am most put out that my nice blue SOLDIER rollneck thing is an inch too short at the wrists after I washed it all of once. -_- Why does that always happen? I washed it at 30, for heaven's sake.)
((And it's a size 12. Can I just squeal about that for a second? I know that every single size only had about a centimetre difference in it each way, since I also fitted into a 10 for crying out loud, but - squeak. Squeak.
And the goddamn saddlebags are gone gone gone. I only noticed today - how I only noticed today, I don't know. Seems eight miles on the bike every day is doing more good than I thought. *hugs self and bounces*))
And now I'm going to bed, since I seem to be breaking out in italics. *WHUMPF* |

.... Because my computer's got a couple of viruses and other nasty things that are slowing it down immensely.
So, until I can get that taken care of, I'm not gonna be on line.
Hope everyone has a Happy Turkey Day! |

Give me a pairing and an emotion, and I will write you at least two paragraphs of pure and glorious and entirely shameless SMUT for it. You can toss up as many prompts as you like, but I'll only guarantee one response per requester.
Ganked from (lj)artoni. |

Just realised/was told something - Heartsease was really confused by films as a kid, 'cause he couldn't figure out where all the people's halos had gone. I don't know whether it's because they're pre-recorded or whether it's a processing/lense thing or what, but still - just tell the typist, the world will realign to make it make sense later. ;P
(Apparently he's sort of all right with things like Skype and the little monitor-comms, but he has to squint.) |

It took a trip to Urgent Care last night to find out why it felt like I'd been punched in ther lower right back, was pukey, dizzy, and feeling like I had to pee but couldn't get anything out.
I've got a kidney stone I'm trying to pass.
So, I've got a perscription for an antibiotic (apparently I also have a slight kidney *infection*) and another for a Vicaden equivalent. I've also had to call off work today 'cause the symptoms hit hardest in the evening time, and I can't drive with them going on. At least not safely.
*shakes head* I just hope I pass it before Thursday 'cause they're gonna *need* me Friday at work. |

| How on *earth* did I manage that?! |
[Nov. 22nd, 2009|08:18 pm] |
I just managed to sew my sewing machine to the bit of material I was working on. I just - I don't even - what? I spent a good twenty minutes dismantling the thing and I still don't know how I did that!
...That said, six hours in front of a sewing machine and I'm not sure what planet I'm on, let alone what I did to prompt that. *blink*
I committed a cardinal sin today, too - I threw out a spool of thread when it was only half finished. *the horror!* In my defence, it was an awful slippery, horribly manufactured-feeling thread that was impossible to work with and not have it snarl up, tangle or - as happened today - bunch up and turn my nice row of sewing-machine-stitches into an aquamarine version of The Thing from the Black Lagoon. *growl* I had to re-do one bit three times and the wrong way around before I could get it looking halfway decent, rargh!
All in all, considering that I was crashed out in a heap fast asleep until lunchtime, I feel quite productive. ^_^; Wonder if I can get away with slipping my knitting into an exam... |

- I just typoed 'Phantom of the Opera' as 'Phantom of the Opry.' Interesting AU, that.
- Am marathoning Ouran Host Club - just found out that Haruhi wants to be a lawyer. Guess what I'm crossing it over with now. Go ahead, guess.
- At work I spent half an hour blow-drying a bobcat. The bobcat was unappreciative. |

| PLZ TO BE GIVING ME RECS? |
[Nov. 19th, 2009|05:03 pm] |
First, a humorous antecdote from work.
ME: Okay. You take the garbage back, and I'll attack the floor.
COWORKER: ...aww, don't attack the floor.
ME: It looked at me funny.
...I was proud of myself. I don't usually think that fast :3c
L'anyhoodle, in a couple of weeks I shall be taking my pharmacy tech certification test, the reason for my absence from the interwebs--even had to skip out on NaNo and most of autumnwrite for it. And it is my intention to then catch back up on all my fannish activities, because I miss them very very muchly.
I do already know a few things that I'm going to do/work on: Song of the Wind (MKR), the sequel to A Perfect Act (DC/MK), and finishing That Darn Fic over on the Layton meme, like...a year after I started it XD And some stuff for 100fandomhell because I has ideas, oh yes I do. I also have some maintenance stuff I want to get done on candyfics, but that can wait.
So! I would like some RECS! Movie, TV show, anime/manga, book, cartoon, whatever! I just want some new stuff to watch and/or read when this whole stupid test is over and done with :D I like just about everything, so lay it on me pleeeeeeeeease? Let us share fannish interests!
*sits back to count how many times Doctor Who appears in comments because I know at least two, if not three of you are going to recommend it here* I had a really awesome review for What You Wish For on ff-dot-net that explained to me why I should watch that show. That was a fun review to read :D
Also, I need to upload the rest of my icons over here at some point... |

Okay, so everyone knows that I'm a sucker for mush and happy-ever-after stories even if I sit and snark my way through some of them. I've also always been a Disney kid - you know, grew up going to see all the films in the cinema, terrified by Ursula and traumatised by the whale in Pinocchio, that kind of thing - but I've never really liked the Disney princesses. (With the exception of Kida and Jasmine, mind, since say what you like but kissing Jafar takes guts.) The idea that all you have to do to get a gender-stereotype of a saccharine happy ever after is be Good makes me nauseous if it's just passive-Good rather than fighting for what you want Good, the behave-the-right-way good instead of the ideological alignment...
...Anyway.
Point I'm trying to wind my way to is that the sequels to Cinderella, by some amazing twist of fate, are actually fairly decent. A Disney princess figuring out that hey, going from a noble daughter in rags to being a princess with actual duties is difficult! And having to work to keep her happy ever after! And charging around on horseback having to fight her way out of a possessed pumpkin driven by a demon cat! ...Or maybe that part's just me. ;) AND IT'S GOT THE GODDAMN FRANK WELKER IN IT. What am I saying, everything's got the goddamn Frank Welker in it.
So. Yes. Cindy 3 is actually pretty good. ^_^;; And they give the Prince some personality at last, poor boy, not to mention having people go O____O;; at the talking mice. I mean, wouldn't you?
(For the record, though, Little Mermaid 2 is creeping me out juuuust a little bit. Plus bonus WTF sea wall right around the edge of the little spit of beach next to the castle? Fior is both having nasty flashbacks and critiquing the construction.)
EDIT: ...I don't think I like Melody very much. HELLO. PRINCESS. Do not have an angst about zomg everyone's laughing at meeee when they all think it's hilarious that your insane head chef is going all Crocodile Dundee on Sebastian. SAVE THE CRAB-FRIEND. WHERE IS THE EMPATHY AND THE MUST-RESCUE. Yeesh.
...Oh for crying out loud. CONGRATULATIONS ARIEL YOU'VE TURNED INTO YOUR FATHER. GUESS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NOW. |

| Death in the family |
[Nov. 17th, 2009|09:56 am] |
Last night, our kitten Kefka, died.
We don't know from what or how, but when I walked into the bathroom this morning, where he had been "banished" with a tub of towels and blankets, a litter box, and a bowlof water for pissing in the corner of the bedroom, he was unmoving.
He's going to be buried in our back yard today at lunch when Andy comes home.
EDIT: Kefka was buried today after I took a small moulding of his pawprints. I've ordered a Felix Supreme red peony to plant over hiim. |
