i make lists in my sleep baby, what's my sin
in other words, i fail at absolutely EVERYTHING having to do with the internet lately, unless it's twitter, which is about the only thing i have the attention span for in terms of communicating with the outside world. but here, have a random list of shit that's on my mind :
+ i owe leupagus an email about help haiti
+ i owe pseudicide, stripedpetunia and a few other people goodies from my own help haiti auction
+ i am actually writing my fic for operation80 and i am SO EXCITED ABOUT IT, it's doing exactly what i wanted it to do and asdlfjsldk I'M WRITING AGAAAAAAAAIIINN.
+ been catching up on lost, am halfway thru s5 and holy shit. adding that to the list of things i need to make flaily posts about.
--sub-list : this now includes lost, caprica, the white collar season finale, at least three of the books i've read in the past two weeks, and most likely SGU and flash forward once i catch up with those.
+ it's really amazing how my creativity has exploded over the past two weeks. i blame the ridiculous speed with which i've been plowing through books (uh, we're at 6 in the past three weeks, holy shit) and the lack of any obligation or constraint on my time as far as feeling required to be present on the internet.
+ i put up my big bookshelf about ten days ago and i have nearly filled it. i own a lot of books-- not nearly as many as halfdreams but hey, we can't all get advance copies of shit from work. :P i've been even more grateful to my newly acquired library card for helping me decide what books it's necessary for me to own instead of just buying everything that looks halfway decent.
+ yesterday sucked. laulan's plane had a mechanical error so she ended up flying thru chicago instead of boston on her way to london so i didn't get to see her. :'( see also : i suck at waiting and ten weeks seems like a ridiculously long time when it's already been seven since i saw her last.
+ i might actually have a real permanent job opportunity in the wings. it'd be a return to an insanely easy no-stress position i've done a few times thru the temp agency; they love me there and my boss at the agency told me they might be looking to hire me permanently w/in the next month. please keep your fingers crossed for me.
+ on a corrollary note, i have finally given up the ghost on grad school, at least for now. have resigned myself to the fact that my father's never actually going to pay off the loan he left me with, so i've got to work on paying it off myself, and will reapply when i'm in the clear. this has not caused nearly as much of a personal crisis as i thought it would; i'm actually surprisingly okay with it. and with the prospect of getting a job here rather than in boston. they're basically the same fucking city anyway; an hour on the commuter rail is nothing given that it might take you over an hour to get between two points in boston depending on where you're going. anyway, i'm pretty zen about my future right now, i like where i'm at and i'm extremely flexible about where i'm going.
+ i really wish i was going back to dragonwood castle this summer. i think i'm going to be very sad come august when i haven't had a vacation. however, the idea of a week there in january sounds like heaven in a teacup.
+ chicago comic con. the more i think about it, the more i want to do it. besides oimizza and hikaru, who of y'all are in chi-town or nearby and would want a visit?
+ this weekend is going to be fucking amazing. i basically plan to wake up on saturday morning with a mimosa in one hand and a bowl in the other, and continue in the same vein for the rest of the day. raindissolved the only thing missing from that nostalgia trip to 2006 will be queer as folk DVDs and leftover cheesybread for b'fast. XD
okay that's it. brain hurts again, and our house sucks and the basement is full of water thanks to the fucking biblical rainstorm happening in rhode island today, so i'm going to watch some tv and keep on reading 'drood' in between vacuuming up water every 45 minutes.
