My life is dominated right now by how much seasonal affective disorder (SAD) suuuuuuucks. Yes, I have a SAD lamp and use it assiduously. Yes, I'm trying to get exercise and eat well and get reasonable amounts of natural sunlight. In the past these things have kept the edge off. Not this year. This weekend I slept for 12 hours each night and then ( Read more... )

First of all, the happiest of happy birthdays (probably belated by the time she gets this, but it's still her birthday in Canada!) to my very dear beccatoria!!!!!! I hope it's been a fabulous start to what will prove to be a wonderful year. *giant hugs ( Read more... )

Hi flist! I've been around only minimally for the past week or so, and this will continue for the next two. There were fabulous shenanigans with my best beloved gabolange, and now I'm hanging out for a little while with the folks and the siblings. I'm a full two weeks behind on Doctor Who and The Killing (the latter of which was losing my attention pretty ( Read more... )

Porn Battle Has Begun! I find I go back and forth about how much I care about this fannish event, but I managed to at least leave some prompts this year (including some not at all usual suspects, so if someone wants to go write me some Bruce/Amy from Judging Amy or my super-obscure random fannish interest, John/Greta from the movie Fallen, I will ( Read more... )

I'm going on two years behind the times on this, but somehow I missed it the first time around (though how this is possible I have no idea--someone was slacking off!). Fortunately, however,

First official rejection of the 2010-11 job season today. Not a surprise--the job was a long shot at best--and really, it's hard to take it personally when you're informed that there were over 350 applicants (of whom I'd bet fully 300 were well-qualified for the job, and at least 100 would have been quite excellent, if hired). Anyway, thinking more ( Read more... )

Among possible harbingers of the apocalypse:

* G20 turns downtown Toronto into a police state. I'm pretty much just planning to stay at home for the next four days.

* EARTHQUAKE!!! Okay, it was a fairly wee little thing, but it was my first earthquake, and as such, kind of exciting and freaky ( Read more... )

beccatoria posted a very crunchy and layered Jesse (TSCC) vid yesterday! Lots of layers, fabulous use of imagery to show connections that I hadn't ever put together before. Of course, so much of what I realize when I see people like Chaila and Becka vid this show is that the show itself was being so careful with its imagery, but I've typically been so caught ( Read more... )

The TV Meme got me thinking a bit about X-Files again, and yesterday I went poking on youtube for old XF clips. I didn't necessarily find what I was looking for, but at one point I noticed that one of the fanvids in the sidebar had had over 45,000 hits. What kind of vid, I thought, gets THAT many hits??? (It could go either way, you know...) A ( Read more... )
