"Why of course not - this is a lovely room of death! Take care now, bye bye then!"
Let me just say there is nothing quite giggly mood inducing like con reports and pictures. Thanks to MSOL (they've updated for the day, for everyone who doesn't check the page a bazillion times a day like I do!), I have been able to look at lots of fun pics and reports from the Continuum panel. XD And yes, it HAS put me in a GREAT, giggly mood! (Not that I wasn't in a good mood before - it's just better now!)
I think it may have something to do with CONTINUUM being available TOMORROW on iTunes (how early do you think it'll be up?? Midnight tonight, or some time tomorrow morning?? *snirk* Can we tell I'm in my 'one can only hope' mentality?!), or that Chicago is getting closer and closer every day (yes, the actual city is literally shifting closer and closer to south Louisiana!) Only...*looks at SG-1 calender next to the desk* 26 DAYS - DAMN, that REALLY isn't a lot. WOW....that just really hit it home. OMFG.....*DANCES*
I have gotten a few things done today.... it's nothing like earth shattering or anything, but sometimes it's the little things getting done that makes the day feel like an accomplishment, right?
Went to Wally World to pick up a few supplies (most importantly for that FRIEND of mine... we would've run completely out today if we hadn't gone to the store to get some). While we were there, I looked to see if they'd gotten Robot Chicken in. Of course they didn't! The only way I'm gonna get it is if I order it online or pick it up at Best Buy. So that'll definitely be waiting until I get back to school and get my money. Surprisingly, it's A LOT easier to get to Best Buy there than it is here. Also while in Wally World, saw one of my all time favorite teachers, Mr. Lear. He was my Law teacher Junior year and my History teacher Senior year. He's also a fellow SG-1 fan, AND I'm one of his favorite students. So that was a delight.
Had to clean up the floor up here because the BAD cats have taken to using it to their liking (meaning PEEing on it - it's why i have to keep my bathroom rugs hung up!). They also are disgusting fuckers and dig in my trash, taking out my used tampons and the soiled toilet paper it's wrapped in and pulling them out. I know which cats do it too - it's Marishka and Nanny, the CONSTANT trouble makers. Plus, the dog isn't innocent in this either. He ate ANOTHER pair of my underwear (one of my oldest and FAVORITE pair of boy shorts. FUCKER!) today, AND stole a used pad from the trash and ate it. I swear, if we got rid of these three, our house would be a much cleaner and peaceful place.
Then picked up the room, which wasn't as bad as it usually is. Of course, that's when I found someone had PEED on my ipod dock! GAH! It had to be the dog from the way it seemed it had been pissed on from ABOVE (it's on the floor since that's the only way i can use it while still having it plugged in and being able to reach it). I swear, i'm about ready to go out back and shoot him. He is WAY more trouble than he's worth! Anywho, back to the cleaning. I had decided to NOT vaacum at first (even though it desperately needed it!) because Sikozu was in here sleeping, and i didn't want to disturb her...
So after that, decided to fix one of the posters she managed to frell up the other night. It was the Ba'al poster i put up last week or whatsuch. The other night, just as I had turned off the light and settled down to sleep, she jumped up onto the windowsill and ripped a section of it clean off. I was pissed at the time, of course, and kicked her off the windowsill. But it was a rather clean cut, and easily fixable with tape. And how handy that I just bought a new roll of packing tape a few weeks ago (for those who don't realize - packing tape is PERFECT for self laminating if you don't have access to a machine or what you want to laminate is too big, like the SG posters from the mags. Just need a steady hand and a decent, unbubbled roll of packing tape!) I took pics of it, before and after:
The before, obviously. I'm not even sure how she managed to slice it this way, since she was jumping from the left side of the poster... her back paw must have done some weird move or something...
And after... You can kinda see the split part at the top of the poster, but I was able to get it to fit perfectly the farther down the slice it went, so where it matters (like where the goa'uld symbols are), the pieces match up. The haziness is a side effect of the 'laminating'. It's just the angle of the picture. When the lighting is diffferent, you can't even see the tape layers.
If anyone wants any tips on how to laminate with packing tape (for those who haven't done it before), just let me know. I'll post some pointers (it's easy really, but there are some things to keep in mind when doing it!)
Of course while I was doing it, the static from pulling the tape from the roll was attracting the cat hair from the floor. That's when I decided I NEEDED to vaacum before finishing it. So I did. And of course, Sikozu wasn't bothered by it at all! *headdesk* She just watched me from the windowsill the whole time! So all those times before today that I put of vaacuming because she was in here, sleeing on the windowsill, were for nothing!
Added to the Chicago Con Fund. It's now at $278.53. I'm pleased with this. I haven't spent ANY of it since coming home from school. XD And i still have 26 days to add more. That's a very nice number!
I only have the season 1 finale to watch of Burn Notice (and I've watched the S.2 episodes the night they've aired, so I don't have to worry about that!). The show really is awesome, and it's definitely inspired some brabbit action. I've got a lot of spaces to fill with the AU table on mission_insane! Don't you think Daniel and Vala as spies would be a fun fic?! Also, Fiona is one badass chick! She is now one of my most favorite female characters in fandom (Gabrielle Anwar is just GOOD at playing tough chicks! I mean, Margaret on the Tudors was an AMAZING character. Her and Brandon= SQUEE!), and that is why I now have an icon of her on my journal. I actually made it because I found the selection on the BN icon comm was lacking in an EXCELLENT Phi icon!
But yeah, the more Burn Notice I watch, the more excited i get for MS's character!
With only so many days to go until I head back to school and go to Chicago, I've realized I've got lots of lists to write (it came to me, mi amor, that not only do i need lists for the trip, but for the move back to school too! *headdesk*). And I've got to finish up the shirts for the Musketeers and make a few corrections on the Michael sketch (i've barely looked at it since last fixing it, so hopefully I won't be hatin' it as much as i was back when!). Time really is winding down to the big trip (though it still feels like FOREVER away!)
Thanks to
dvshipper, I've lost the game! ;D (we WILL b spreading it on the trip - TRUST ME!)
I believe that's all i've got right now (at least personal post wise) - i've got an interesting little 'meme' (cause it seems i've been 'making' a lot of those lately??) in my fron i need to work out. Oh, and i REALLY have to pee right now, so this is it for now! *snirk*

P.S. - Madre just texted me and told me that the Smurfinator just told her that Shredder died. For those who don't know, Shredder was Trey's dog. She could be a bitchy dog at times, but she really really was a cool dog! *sniff* Poor Trey!
