Shattering the Time-Slap Continuum
Man, I am all about sleep lately.
I think I was awake about twelve hours of yesterday. And you know what? TOTALLY worth it. Sleep is for WIN.
That said, if I missed your IM last night- ESPECIALLY if you offered to help with the mood theme I'm currently obsessing over? Mea maxima culpa, and plz to try me again at some point when I'm not virtually comatose.
Like now? Now would be good! I want everything ready to go by Thursday. I plan to start using a new mood theme DURING the Macy's Parade.
TAR was on last night, which I have not seen anyone else discussing, and which... I will barely go on to discuss, either, but I said I'd post this, so.
fox1013: This is the third episode of TAR this season.
fox1013: The team I hate has been in next-to-last place in two of those.
pearl_o: that's good, right?
fox1013: no, that's bad, because if they were last place they would have been eliminated
pearl_o: oh.
fox1013: And so far, the eliminated teams include the really awesome lesbian ministers, and the hot sisters.
pearl_o: awwwww.
fox1013: ...I honestly don't know which I'm more upset about.
fox1013: On the one hand,000 WHOA BIG BROTHER AD HOLD ON
pearl_o: heeeeeeeee.
fox1013: Oh, never mind. It's the same one I already freeze-framed through
pearl_o: That was wonderful.
pearl_o: I think you should post that to your lj. From totally rational calm discussion to FLAILING STOP EVERYTHING in 0 seconds flat.
...Look, it has been established in SERIOUS(ish) CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MY MENTAL HEALTH that reality TV is the best thing I can watch to make myself relax. The show is MEDICINAL.
P.S., No seriously. BB open casting call in Boston is in LESS THAN THREE WEEKS. I do not even know what to DO with myself, I am so excited! I am working very hard to come up with the all-together-worst two-minute interview I can possibly give. SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED.
I got tagged for a meme by luna_k:
1. Total volume of music files on my computer
My music folder is 11.7 GB. That includes some songs more than once, and some songs are misfiled, so really, give or take, it's about accurate.
2. Last CD I bought
Either Kanye West, Graduation, or Meryn Cadell, Angel Food for Thought. I bought them both in a buying spree over the course of, like, two days, when I was retail therapy-ing it. And I'm glad, because I'm pretty sure the other answer would be the Grey's s2 soundtrack, or else one of my many holiday CDs, and that's... kind of sad, really.
Both, for the record, are pretty good, but Kanye's the CD I listen to start-to-finish pretty damn often.
3. Last song I listened to before doing this meme.
Everclear, "I Will Buy You a New Life". I have been in a 90s place recently. It's mostly Sheila's fault.
4. Five songs I listened to a lot this week.
I went in to find out on iTunes, but it's a completely inaccurate measurement, because at 19 seconds long, when I leave the BB flames on, of COURSE I've listened to them more than 10x the next-highest; they're very soothing.
So- I'm guessing here- it's probably going to be the four songs from my "Is My Music Stupid or Fantastic?" playlist, which has accomplished my ultimate goal of a playlist, where unless I'm paying serious attention I don't notice when it goes from one song to another:
Kendall Payne, "Supermodels"
Everclear, "I Will Buy You a New Life"
Get Set Go, "5th and Spring"
Fall Out Boy, "Hum Hallelujah"
It is a 14.2-minute playlist. It's wonderful.
And... one other, I guess? Hmm. I've been listening to Aqueduct's "The Suggestion Box" a lot. Let's go with that.
5. Five people I want to do this meme.
You, you, you, you, and-- you in the back, ducking a little? Yeah, give it up. You.
In case I have failed to mention it here, I have issued an official statement, re: fic over the next month and a half.
Question: What fandoms would be better with one (or more than one) holiday fic?
Answer: EVERY FANDOM IN THE WORLD.
I leave this broad enough to include fics about the characters celebrating holidays, fics where the characters follow the plots of a holiday story, and fics where characters are horrified at the inhumane treatment granted to Max the Dog, Rudolph the Reindeer, Karen the Human, and The Poor Little Tree. Holiday specials are cruel, cruel places for living, formerly-living, and magically-enchanted-living cartoon beings.
On a just barely related note, if you have a holiday card poll I should be fulling out, please hit me until I do it. I have a terrible habit of opening lots of tabs in Firefox, then forgetting about them entirely, until my laptop crashes and I lose everything that had been open.
Yes, I am a winner. Hi.
You know what today is, you guys? Heroes night! And SLAPSGIVING!
It is truly the most wonderful time of the year.
