[116] the welts of ur scorn, my love, give me more. send whips of opinion down my back, give me more
i am sick once again. i've been suffering from a sore throat for the past 3 weeks, and last night i finally ended up running a temperature. ugh.
i'm trying to stay positive but my life is going nowhere. i keep bursting into tears at random intervals. i just want things to work out. i'm so tired.
in happier news, at dawn i uploaded 52 icons and i still have 88 empty slots! \0/
i've been listening to jeff buckley on repeat for 12+ hours now. i apologise if you have me on your twitter feed; the random lyrical tweets are not going to stop anytime soon
[i apologise if you have me on your twitter feed in general, given how often i tweet. i don't even know why everyone hasn't unfollowed me already].
speaking of which, remember how i was going to make a faux robert pattinson account and tweet on his behalf? you can now follow The Incognito RPattz at:
@AstroFryUp @AstroFryUp @AstroFryUp
please also provide me with ideas! i.e. what you'd like me to tweet about. hopefully this will be fun
btw jonas brothers tour dates were announced today! WHO IS GOING TO THE TORONTO SHOW ON SEP 2ND? i need someone to accompany me - there's no way i'm going to survive being surrounded by screaming tweens if i don't have another partner in crime. i was hoping sourberrie could make it but she has to be back in kingston for frosh training
SOMEONE COME WITH ME SO I CAN OGLE YOUNG MEN HAVE A GOOD TIME!
aaaaand now, for some recs of a different flavour!
APP RECS
1) bump: this cool app allows you to exchange contact info between iphones/androids by simply physically bumping the phones together!
2) sleep cycle: i discovered this app via fera_festiva, and it rocks! it has a built-in accelerometer which keeps track of your body movements while you're sleeping. then it wakes you up during the "lightest" part of your sleep cycle within a 30 minute time frame of your alarm, so that you wake up feeling naturally refreshed.
there are a number of serene nature/woodsy alarm sounds to choose from so that you're not waking up to jarring sounds. you can even view your sleep stats! i've used it 2 nights in a row, and it's worked like a charm. here's the sleep graph from the first night:
ISN'T THIS AWESOME? NOW IF I ONLY SLEPT ENOUGH HOURS A DAY, LOL.
MISC
1) my latest edition of the quibbler_report can be found here.
2) gay couple may have been separated due to domestic violence: remember the couple in sonoma county that was separated? at this point, the rumours of domestic violence still haven't been confirmed, but either way it's very sad
3) so you need a typeface?: this is an AMAZING flow chart outlining the kind of decisions you should make when choosing a typeface - whether it's for a presentation, a menu, a newspaper article, etc. BRILLIANT.
4) mickey rourke to play genghis khan: WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK. this is just as bad as jake gyllenhaal playing prince of persia - perhaps even more so since genghis was an actual person. thanks so much to kerrikins for the link. as she said, "what's so hard about getting an actor who comes from the right race/culture?" WHEN WILL THIS IDIOCY END?
5) GRINDELWALD AND GINNY WEASLEY GET ENGAGED: okay so i've been cheering on jamie and bonnie before they even confirmed they were dating b/c i think they make the cutest couple, but aren't they both a bit young to get married? perhaps it'll be a long engagement, hmm.
6) how to make a DALEK cake at home: this is from an old episode of blue peter that was recently featured in the toronto star. i am definitely going to try this!
7) the angels have the blue box: thanks to thereshedances, i have found the BEST CROSSOVER EVER! one of my fave eps of doctor who combined with one of my fave eps of supernatural = MIND BLOWN!
ava and i were discussing a dw/spn crossover the night before thereshedances linked me to this. WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A SIGN OF THE UNIVERSE ALIGNING AND MEANS THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. Y'HEAR, KRIPKE AND MOFFAT?
