Snagged from fabu and settiai, originally created by dsudis.

So I was adding some new interests to my LJ profile (because I, uh... have some new interests. Yes.) and found myself feeling defensive every time I typed a female name, thinking, basically, FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME, because I felt as if someone somewhere was going to be criticizing my love for them ( Read more... )

I've been watching a whole lot of Zorro lately, and I've found that I get a bit desentisized to the badness after a while - by now, I can almost hear phrases like "Indian burial ground" without wincing. And I do my best to ignore Sergeant Mendoza. (The badness of either Alcalde is more bearable - moustachio-twirling villains have their charms, ( Read more... )

This was actually a reply to a question angorian asked in comments to this post, but it became too insanely long, so now it's a post of its own ( Read more... )

Besides, I tried to download the latest SPN ep and it turned out to be an evil virus file, and now I'm downloading a new version and am very pissed off at not getting to see the new ep yet ( Read more... )

Back from camp work. Whew! It's fun stuff, but it does get a bit much after a while. Plus, I have both my period and what my father has dubbed "summer stomach" (TMI to say more, methinks) so I'm feeling kind of beat. Don't even have enough energy to go over to my parents' place and fetch my keys, which means I don't have the key to the laundry room ( Read more... )

Still discovering the joys of my new computer. Had my first major setback when I tried to download a torrent file - after about 200mb, the speed pretty much trickled down to a halt (single bytes per second). So much for playing about with vidding. Perhaps I should do my experiments with easily downloaded stuff (DW, short DLM clips) or stuff I ( Read more... )
