Hello! I am utterly punch drunk from my most-of-nighter of banging on the last scene of my Supernatural story, and am therefore very, very geeky and fairly incoherent. In that spirit, I bring you one of the geekiest songs ever written. It's geeky, but you know it kicks. Except, GRR! I don't have the file on this computer. You'll just have to take ( Read more... )

Despite ducking out of work two hours early with a (legitimate) skull-grinding headache, I have managed to empty the dishwasher I ran before Memorial Day, wash the (minimal, as I haven't been cooking) big dishes in the sink, put the (minimal) small dishes in the dishwasher, and cook myself a healthy dinner ( Read more... )

This week is sort of suckful for me, though it's mostly a case of me being pissed off at two particular people at work and I just have to get over yesterday's rage blackout so I can function with a modicum of normality ( Read more... )

I can’t stop listening to this music. This song in particular, catches in my heart every single time it comes up. My translation of the lyrics is accurate but lacks poetry. “Kite” is such a dull word next to “Cerf-volant.”

Anyway, this is Cerf-Volant (“Kite”). I don’t know why they’ve named the reprise of it (which is the longer version) “Paper ( Read more... )

I swear, this day... Started last night with the frustrationfest that was trying to burn most of these songs onto a CD that I could take to work to turn into the final mix found below.

I find it very ironic that finding a bunch of happy music was such a rageful experience. Stupid iTunes wouldn't burn my CDs, but also wouldn't not ruin my blank ( Read more... )

writerj. This is for you. I hereby request that you put a silly oops-they're-forced-to-dance-in-public scene set at some big part at the Fair. Tom and Jo should be properly dressed up and awkward, and "Meet Me in St. Louis" should be playing:

Don't tell me the lights are shining anywhere but there

* I have become reacquainted with my iron and ironing board. They make my clothes look all fresh and clean, and aid greatly in my looking like a grown-up person.
* My new Firefly/Serenity fandom pants are SO VERY SHINY! Or, at least, the first three and a half letters are. Beading takes forever.
* Rufus breaks my heart:

Today commences my Harry Potter stress. The bookstore is putting on a bigger, better version of the Order of the Phoenix event--which was the single largest Harry Potter event in the world. This years starts earlier, covers more geography, has more activities ( Read more... )

Ah, work. How we love it, every one of us! This mix is for all of us--civil servants; retail slaves; teachers and librarians; graduate, undergraduate, and high-school students; waitresses; corporate and/or government drones; military and soon-to-be ex-military servicefolk; skilled and unskilled laborors; systems analysts; customer service and sales ( Read more... )

Thing One: I am just about pickled from abnormally high alcohol consumption this week. Doug and Jill's visit had me out for dinner and drinks Tuesday and Wednesday night (OMG so hard to find booze after 10 in my little almost-dry town); Editorial Appreciation (I know, I know) dinner for work tonight; Friday I have off; Saturday is Mike's birthday ( Read more... )
