Why Linguists are Cool, my Awesome Thursday, and Happy Birthday to People whose names begin with K
Okay, now that I've done my civic duty - did anybody notice the timestamp on that, BTW? - you get to hear me blither about more prosaic, happy, mundane and fandomatical matters.
(Yes, fandomatical is a word. I have an artistic license that says I can make up words. Plus, I'm a linguist. Linguists are allowed to make up whole languages, and we also get to do neat things like marry hot alien and/or Atlantean chicks, look good in starfleet uniforms, abandon alien worms on planets nowhere near where we found them, bitch constantly, trancend humanity and then come back because we miss our boyfreinds, look utterly adorable in a really geeky way (especially in pith helmets) and always throw up carrots.)
Oh goody. I'm in one of those moods. (Random thought - I need a Milo icon. Or a Hoshi icon. Or Both.)
(More randomness and note to self: I am not allowed to write an SGA fic in which Stargate Command sends Atlantis a linguist named Milo. Cause... no. Just... no.)
Anyway, my life's been pretty good lately, for all of being broke and jobless etc etc. computer_boy made me an unbeleivably AWESOME icon. I was musing out loud about this idea I had, and that I'd make this if I knew how, and he did it for me, and it turned out gorram fantastic.
I had a very very very good thursday, though it started out not that great. I wanted to go down to the university to do job hunting and hang out, but had to stay home and wait for the stupid people who were supposed to pick up the stupid counh and NEVER CALLED and NEVER SHOWED UP. mike_mccall and I had a very little extra money left after grocery shopping and spent it in what I consider to be a good fasion: seeing Serenity for the last time before it left the local second run theatre and there is no more Serenity on the big screen. :(
Anyway, we ran into zsofika and a (very tall, very pretty, very interesting) freind of hers who had not only not seen Serenity, but had in fact seen no Firefly. We nipped THAT in the bud, I think. She'll be at movie night tonight I understand, which I like the thought of alot, as bubbly people wit a fondness for Zach Braff strike me as good company.
Seeing serenity again was - yeah, a bit hard. Joss, you are one eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil bastard. (Why don't I have a Wash icon? Dammit, I need a Wash icon!!)
After the movie I got mike_mccall to drop me off at the Kareoke where mrscience works, where we were later joined by dofunkychickens, christianmystic, lhaluk, and naughtyminx. I sung Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega and DNA, but *NOT* Hotel California, a Kareoke first for me. (And no, I don't know how to spell Kareoke, and don't care right now.) There was free pizza, and mrscience bought the drinks, and I won a Kokanee dicebag! It had a HackySack in it, but I'm sure I can find something to do with that.
Movie night theme tonight is "independant films" - we'll see what I can do with that. :)

It's kerravonsen's birthday! A very happy birthday to you on this milestone year - which I will do you the courtisy of not mentioning which one. (Of course, it isn't anymore where she lives, but hey, at least I sorta get to claim not being belated by virture of timezones. Hee.)
A question for the scaper people on my f'list: why is everyone wishing kazbaby a happy birthday? My info has her on the 30th. Happy birthday to her if it *IS* today, of course, but I'm confused.
I'm feeling productive and bouncy and happy, do I'm going to go icon, fic, and watchtower.
Love you all, especially the thousands of veterans who dies so I could live free in a country I love and blither about things like fic and icons and vomiting up carrots.
