Afternoon to One's Self

Sep 15, 2010 16:20

Well, a couple of hours anyway. Primary election is over, and my expertise in changing printer paper and unjamming stuck printer covers has been fully utilized. Fifteen hours of my life seems a little excessive for these chores, but there you go. My civic duty is (half) done. I met some interesting people and survived an entire day with no internet. I did sneak off and write a little, but today what I wrote sucks so you don't get to see it. Too talky. Nothing ever happens in my stories anymore. How about a strafing attack on that Minbari balcony, hmmm? That'd liven things up!

My lecture is over and done with too. I may get some unanswerable questions on the Blackboard discussion group thingie, but maybe I can log in dead or something to get out of answering them. I actually did okay, I think. They laughed at the right places though I flubbed the last section pretty bad, and found out I'd forgotten to plan a way to end the talk. Oops. Kinda just faded out there in the end. Oh well. It is done.

Now I just have to get ready for the lectures in October. And, oh, finish re-working the exam questions. And go to the review session. Gulp.

I am shopping for a new phone, and am currently torn between the Droid 2 and the Droid Incredible. I like a physical keyboard although I'm sure I'd learn how to use the virtual ones. I want it fast and pretty and cool. I want the internet in my hand. And I don't care how goofy it is, I love living wallpaper. Also I have found MP3 ringtones of all the B5 themes!! (As well as tens of thousands of tv themes. So. Cool. I'm away from the big laptop where the site is bookmarked and can't find the site right now. I hope it's not gone! I got Primeval and Criminal Minds and Dark Shadows and Good Neighbors, etc.) The sound is dead on my Centro and the screen has divots and that's my reason for getting a new one and that's my story. Leave me alone!

Writing is so slow it's like typing in a pool of honey. I've been writing in my head again (yeah!) but I've been way too busy to write anything down. And it's all depressing stuff. Sheridan was dead to begin with. There was no doubt whatever about that. Sad, twisted stuff. Pathetic really. I've been trying to read more fic, too, but for some reason it's triggering anxiety. I hope that goes away. And soon.

I have another free half an hour before I have to pick up the demon seeds. Shall I write twisted bitter angst? Or get a scone and some tea? Hell, why not both? Have a lovely sunny day, y'all.

Update: that site is http://www.televisiontunes.com/

So. Very . Cool.

Identify this one! (The title comes up with the music so close your eyes!)

consumer hell, elections, writing, work, real life
