I'm fifteen pounds away from my first weight loss goal, which would put me in the 'normal' range of the BMI.  FIFTEEN POUNDS.   I'm so close, and yet, I can't seem to make the number on the scale go down.  I'm eating well and exercising, but it's discouraging that nothing seems to be happening.  I don't know if I just hit a plateau, if I'm ( Read more... )

*  I still haven't heard back about the receptionist job.  They reassured me that I was qualified for it, then asked for my resume.  I haven't heard from them since.  Maybe they don't think a scientist can handle being a receptionist, despite the fact that I'm perfectly capable of answering phones and typing things for a few months.

*  I broke down ( Read more... )

*slumps*  I hate myself today.  I did some therapeutic shopping, which isn't exactly a good thing when I have taxes and car repair and being unemployed to worry about.  I couldn't help it; there were some Doctor Who audios I've been eyeing for awhile, and they were 50% off.  I'm horrible, I really am.  But I really needed some new Ten stuff, ( Read more... )

Basically, my holiday weekend summed up in bullet points that may or may not be interesting.  They're not interesting enough for their own LJ entries, and really, they're just an excuse for me to rant.  But, hey, it gives me the chance to use a lot of tags.  Let's see if I can break my record for most tags used...

* For starters, apologies for ( Read more... )

First off... Deadbeat Dad upstairs is letting his children run wild again.  It's BAD this time...  Despite the chill, I have fans running, and the TV on loud in the hope that it'll drown them out (not working).  The apartment keeps shaking from their pounding around.  They've been running around non-stop since I woke up this morning, and I've had ( Read more... )

Okay, so my birthday was on Monday, but it's taken a few days for me to adjust to my tattoo, and to decide what to get with my gift money (which I actually got this year.  Wow.)

I had intended to post this on my birthday, and even went to a lot of effort to find it weeks in advance.  Unfortunately, in the aftermath of getting my tattoo, I forgot ( Read more... )

A slightly more coherent, less panicky post...

Okay, for those of you out there who listen to Big Finish audios, I have a question.  I've been slowly trying to collect the 8th Doctor audios, and am only up to the fourth one, Minuet in Hell.  I want to listen to them in order, but I really, really want to get to the Neverland/Zagreus/Scherzo arc.  If ( Read more... )

I'm interrupting my irregularly scheduled whining for various David Tennant themed things.

* I spent the weekend listening to several Big Finish audios, including Doctor Who Unbound: Sympathy for the Devil, and UNIT: The Wasting, both of which feature David as the UNIT commander Colonel Ross Brimmicombe-Wood.  Wow.. he has to be the most obnoxious, ( Read more... )

Woo hoo! It looks like there's going to be at least one more Tenth Doctor adventure before the new series.  According to this site , there's another audio due to be released in March, Dead Air read by David Tennant.   Yay!

Okay, so I am a pathetic fangirl, but I'm not entirely ready to let him go just yet.  I want a few more Ten adventures before ( Read more... )

I just got notification that the upcoming Tenth Doctor book I'd preordered, Code of the Krillitanes, has just been shipped, 40 days before scheduled release.  Yay!  New Ten!  Okay, so it's a Quick Read, but still...
