Feeling a little chatty
The Puplet continues to be precociously active. Today he is hanging out up in my esophagus from the feel of it. Heh. I took some video of the movement the other day and used Windows Movie Maker (GASP) to make an eight-second video of one particularly good jolt to show my mom (and, um, if you want to see it, here you go; it's a fairly up close shot of my pale-ass belly, so just be warned) and now I need to grumble for a moment about how totally not user friendly the titling feature of WMM is, and how very much I would like to smack WMM around in general. You people who actually VID on this software have my unending admiration. Seriously.
I was also idly imagining this morning what the Puplet was going to be like once he was out here in the world and I realized I kept trying to make a composite of him based on kids I'd already seen and it hit me that he is going to be a totally unique person that the world hasn't ever seen yet. I mean - we are all totally unique people! I hadn't really grasped that before. It was kind of a cool kumbaya moment where the Tremendous Greatness of Life unfolds awesomely before you for a nanosecond. (Words LJ suggests instead of kumbaya: 'kumquat' and 'lumbago.')
Regardless! It was a neat realization for me and chased away some lingering worries I'd been having.
Just 16 more weeks to go (roughly; 16-18, really). That is SO CRAZY to think about; I feel like I just hit sixteen weeks in! At the next midwife appointment I get to do the funtimes glucose test and then have my blood drawn. Wooooo. At least it's been a long time since I've had to get a blood draw. I should be all stocked up again.
I know that I've been talking about the Puplet a lot lately, but he takes up a lot of my thoughts! That and the weird sort of non-fannish headspace I've been in, except for vidding - which is often a very solitary thing for me - and Prison Break, have not been conducive to talking about much else.
ALTHOUGH. Today I was going through old PB-related posts and was reminded of this Ode To Floppy Hats picspam that sol-se did and I've been laughing my butt off re-reading it. ILU guys.
What else? I have been really really happy watching both Castle and Lie To Me, which both ended their seasons this week. Castle, especially, was made of pure, intense glee for me the entire time. And it wasn't even just Nathan Fillion, although he was the reason I tuned in. It ended up that I loved the entire cast, from Castle's daughter (THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS ONE OF MY NEW FAVORITE THINGS) to Beckett to the other cops to the random people Castle seems to always know. I hope it gets picked up for a second season. *crosses everything*
And tonight is the Supernatural finale! I've really enjoyed this season but except for some random email exchanges, I find I don't generally have much to say. I'm suffering a bit from "the bigger the fandom, the less I want to engage" fatigue with that one. There's too much meta! Plus, mostly I really just want to be vidding. Heh. Although I am apparently totally fangirling Misha Collins. The amazing dorkiness of his Twitter account doesn't help. *g*
The 'k' key on my keyboard is not working well. I'm surprised at how often I find myself USING that letter.
Alrighty then. I think that about extends the limits of my fannishness for the day. Tomorrow: PRISON BREAK FINALE FUNTIMES. I don't know what kind of funtimes yet, but I'm sure I'll think of something.
