*Virtually* packing

Aug 04, 2006 18:55

The Mysterious Malady has resolved itself with no explanation from clueless doctors. ::scratches head:: Oh, well, as long as it's gone!

I'm leaving in only TWO DAYS AAAAAAAH. ::runs around in circles and kermitflails::

So today I've been packing reading Starsky and Hutch fic like a madwoman. And packing. Yes, very soon there will be packing. The mental *preparation* for packing is just as important, don't you think?

I've started a Jeremiah vid (about 40 seconds done), which is so far the suck, but we'll see what happens! I just got hit by a S&H vidbunny today, and my BEAUTIFUL and hopefully functional new 500 GB hard drive is waiting for me in the US. Whee! Oh, new hard drive, I will love you and partition you, and fill you up with happiness and temp files!

I've been very good and doing CHORES. Cleaning and constructing furniture and cooking and sorting through papers that I haven't touched since MARCH. Also making DVDs for family. Pimping your shows is very important. I was also reading about dust mites, dani, and bedbugs, and now I'm TOTALLY PARANOID. Ew! I feel like Invader Zim with his spray can.

I went to the Welcome Dinner for some of the new JETs. It was of course way not as fun as the Bye Bye Bash for the oldies (waaaah, I'm so sad that they're gone!), and just like last year we were subjected to an array of strange and noxious "traditional foods" like GIANT DAIKON while the Japanese people sitting near us ate like sausages and fried chicken. My friend kept saying that tonkatsu is Japanese *and* tasty, so we should have gone there and not shocked the poor baby JETs (It was the same place as last year, a 天まで上がれ, and I remember not eating much).

But I won't be able to see the second group of newbies because I'm LEAVING. I'm excited about seeing people! Hopefully I will see all my friends who have like *lives* and *work* and stuff, and aren't just waiting around for me to come visit them. (Fools!)

I've never actually gone to Kansai International by train before, so this will be an ADVENTURE omg. Awesome. ::fondles e-ticket receipt::

I did see PoTC2 a few weeks ago, and the OT3ness was wonderful, but the movie itself was extremely silly. I'll keep coming back for more, though! I'm interested in how they'll resolve this...

I also watched Garden State. SUCH! LOVE! I am *so impressed* by his little one-man show. I've only seen him sporadically on Scrubs and I had no idea he was so talented. Interesting how the director's hand was obvious enough to get the message across, but still subtle enough that you could squint and suspend your disbelief. I want to write papers about the film! (I was reading some of my old papers. It's funny how I have like *no memory* of watching some of those films. Two hours of my life, gone!)

This is not inspired by the recent flare-up of the warnings kerfluffle, but lately I've been tooling along and reading S&H fics lalala, and I keep getting surprised by all these DEATHFICs. OMGWTFBACKBUTTON. S&H is my *happy place*. (Yeah, yeah, rape recovery, okay, but *happy ending* rape recovery.) Maybe it's because the fandom's so new to me right now, but I don't want to see them die! Ach! I'm not a big one for warnings. But I do think major character death is a thing to warn for. Because I just cannot handle it DS or S&H. If it's recced enough or by a favorite author, I'll *read* it, painfully, but I at least want to know what I'm getting into. Erm. Not to wank or anything.

ETA: Hi. Joss's Equality Now speech is making me cry.

vidding, s&h, rl
