my self keeps slipping

Slogging through the snow to go get food might have sucked but the frozen margarita I'm now enjoying makes it all worth it.

I did get food, too. It's just that the margarita mix was right there and then I saw the te-kill-ya and I have this nifty little mixer... Heh.

Fannish update:

It's been so long since I wrote about anything other than icky rl stuff, I thought I should go over what I'm watching, reading, and being generally squeeful about, since I am feeling much better and hope to be around the el-jay again:

-SG-1 - All ten seasons watched in under a month. No wonder I have no life! LOL

-SGA - I vaguely remember being somewhat irked when my entire flist got obsessed with this show seemingly overnight. I even tried to watch once in the first season and it just didn't grab me at all (I can't even remember what episode it was.) Three years later... Yeah, I don't know either.

-Supernatural - I'm... watching. Not really reading right now. SG-1 and SG:A have taken over my reading list. Up until last week I would have said that I wasn't even liking this season and I do still have some issues with the way things have played out, but the last two eps have managed to get my interest going again.

-Torchwood - There is just no bad in this show. It can be as silly and overwrought as it likes and I'll still be all over it. Oh! I want my very own Ianto.

-Bones, Bones, Bones! I am loving this show sooo hard this season! It's always been my go to show- not amazing, but totally solid entertainment. For some reason, I'm just all over it now.

- Batman still owns my soul even though Damian can kiss my ass. Tim is my Tim is the bestest Tim in the world and the new Nightwing writer shows some promise. I haven't picked up anything other than Batboys and Countdown but I think I'll go shopping soon. I have no doubt that DC will find some way of pissing me off, because they always have in the past, but I keep coming back so...

- My local Borders has a ton of tasty yaoi and now I've had to put a limit on how often I'll let myself go in there. Heh.

- In the book realm - I'm finally going to finish reading the Wraeththu histories, which I started reading but lost momentum. I think re-reading the original trilogy right before I started reading the second was a bad move. The contrast in POV from the intimacy of first person narration to third person just killed me. The whole thing just read so flat... it was really weird. I think I'm ready to give it another shot, though.

That's about it, I think. I've lost touch with Criminal Minds and House but I have the eps, so I'm sure I'll end up watching them sooner or later.

Mmmm, out of 'rita. Later.

Ok, the lj has now been backed up on both greatestjournal and insanejournal. I'm grissecon on both. I'll be keeping the journals synched so if I need to go elsewhere I can do it with minimum trauma.

I'm not leaving lj yet, and I might not ever... but it's good to be prepared.

If you're maybe noticing that you're older than you used to be, and are feeling sad/angry/confused/worried/frustrated that you haven't accomplished as much as you/other people in your present or past/annoyingly critical voices inside your head think you should have, and if you're maybe feeling something like "I'm not a real grownup like everyone else," and if you're maybe also feeling sad/angry/confused/worried/frustrated that your body isn't working the way it used to, and you're maybe thinking, "if that's true then how am I going to DO all those accomplishments that I/other people/voices in my head think I ought or want to do?", and maybe you're also wondering how are you going to dig out from under the accumulation of habit and procrastination and self-doubt to some sense of satisfaction in your life again, then post this same sentence in your journal.

{} Been off the map for a while, I know. ( work-related blather )

{} One of the perks of the gig is Photoshop on my work computer (and even legitimate reasons to use it, sometimes. Woohoo!), so there has been much icon-making. Yep. This post is basically a GIP. *g* New crop:




It appears I have a thing for boy's mouths. And my "Romance" icon could get me TOSsed, huh? Joy.

{} Says it all:

I was woken at 3:30 am by rain on my face. My thoughts:

Windows are dripping.
Windows are closed.
Noes!

All my remotes were sitting on windowsill and are now spread in pieces across the dry side of the bed. Here's hoping they aren't ex-remotes when they dry out.

Got to work a few minutes late (110 minutes, to be precise *smirk*), and I'm just now getting to the bottom of the inbox. Joy!

Cigarette break time... will be day-dreaming about sexy vamp on Blood Ties. It's been a while since I've had appropriate fodder for completely cliched and yet bulletproof vampire kink. Yay!

I've been completely off the map for months, huh?

( boring life/job crap )

So, yeah. I think I'm giving notice tomorrow. I've got quite enough personal reasons for developing ulcers; professional ones shouldn't even come into play!

The teevee does love me, though, and has been making me insanely happy lately. Here's why:

+ I've officially put Criminal Minds on my viewing schedule because it has been rocking *hard* this season. (I do so love new-fandom-rush.)

+ Even though I had gotten over The OC halfway through the second season, I started watching again this season and, not only did I get a solid, funny, and touching season of tv; the finale made me weep like a little bitch, and you can just bet I was asking it for MORE! Heh.

Seriously, that is going down as one of the best series finales ever for me. I thought the show was regaining its focus during the season (before they announced the cancellation) and it was evident in every minute of that final episode. It was really everything I ever loved about the show.

+ My love for Supernatural is reaching Buffy proportions, dude. I didn't think that was ever going to happen again. It's just been so *good*!

In unrelated news, I now live next door to where I used to in a newly renovated apartment that does not have fake wood panels for walls. I might actually invite some of you over now. Hehee.

Also, if anyone near me (in Malden, MA) wants a 20' CRT TV w/remote and has the means to pick it up, I've got one for the asking.
I got a new TV for my B-day. The old one has many years on it, but it still works just fine so, I don't want to just throw it out if anyone could use it.

theory about Heroes.

Differing thesis? Do share!
We can all come back around and feel foolish once the writers Joss us. *g*

Ok, most of those were eerily right.

My monitor is dead. If you need me, use the phone. I'm not saying I will answer it, but I will be looking at the caller id display now. LOL
