This morning I dreamed that I had two houseguests (one was an author from work, one was a classmate), and I had to take them to the airport. The author kept knocking on my bedroom door, trying to wake me up by saying things like "You don't have any cereal" and "It's okay, we can hit Starbucks on the way out," until finally he banged on the door and ( Read more... )

Yesterday I had one of those days where my psyche, for no valid reason, took out a two-by-four and beat me up with it. Went from being just fine to a weeping mess at my desk within the space of about two minutes. It was fun. Then I went to class and the air conditioning blowing arctic wind directly on me messed with my already-wavering sinuses so ( Read more... )

Woke up this morning feeling eleventy percent better than when I went to bed last night. Suffice to say that my psyche was not in a happy spot yesterday, and that counseling, grad school, money, my allergies, my mother, my friend Jenn, and I spent much of the day kicking it when it was down. (If I'm going to be fair, I should take my mother off ( Read more... )

So as we'll all remember, my sink exploded a couple weeks back. It was bad. Since the nice plumberman, Jim, came that first time and assessed the situation (and turned off the water because apparently I'm too stupid to have thought of that one myself), I've been spraying the floor under the sink with Clorox in hopes of killing the icky mold that ( Read more... )

Here's a thing I hadn't considered about entering/embracing a new fandom: Spoilers.

I haven't been seriously engaged in a fandom with a live canon since Buffy went off the air. And by "engaged" I mean thinking about it a lot, speculating on what might happen, being impatient to see the next installment because ohmygod I have to know what happens ( Read more... )

In mulling over my fic history for today's meme, I went back to my never posted giant X-Files post-apocalyptic AU thing, and I was reading my notes on how it was supposed to end and why I bailed the fuck out and never finished it, and I just realized that the BSG people are writing the exact same subplot. The whole thing on BSG with the breeding ( Read more... )

Had another one of those dreams last night where I wake myself up laughing. I dreamed I was getting married to a woman named Christine (she was gorgeous, but I've never laid eyes on her in real life). The ceremony was in some cheezy church/banquet hall combo, and there were three other couples (all hetrosexual) getting married the same day. At ( Read more... )

This morning my brain treated me to one of its store of standard psycho-killer scenarios, this time adapted as a retelling of Lost's Tailie's episode from a couple weeks back. ( cut for spoilers and gore )

ETA: WARNING This is a total self-pity trip of an entry, for which I apologize. You are under no obligation to respond or try to pep me up. Everything will be fine and I'm just having a crap day and I know it. Will now endeavor to get over my pity party ( Read more... )

Wow. I feel really weird today. I've been sleeping really restlessly lately, what with the neck/shoulder/back pain making nearly every position uncomfortable. New pillows should arrive any day now, and I hope they will help ( Read more... )
