A head, two arms, eyes, nose, ears, muscles...
I don't usually do the link-pimping thing here (Yuletide recs and random webseries links aside... okay I'm lying. I totally pimp things. I just feel weird pimping non-fannish things ( Read more... ) -
Holiday Un-Wrap-Up
So, I'm home from work because I'm exhausted and vaguely sick (goshdarn disgusting I-80 rest stop fast food) and also because I was supposed to have the day off in the first place anyway. Funtimes! Fortunately, this will give me time to clean my apartment (and remove the disgusting rat traps my landlord broke in to leave in the middle of my ( Read more... ) -
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! (To those of you who are desirous of Christmas wishes, and to those who are not: Happy Sunday! These are your only two options. You don't get out of well-wishes today.) And a Happy look_alive's Birthday to all. (Happy Birthday look_alive! ♥♥)
I am sitting in my bed shivering, about to get up and make cinnamon rolls and wait for Yuletide to start ( Read more... ) -
I am such an enabler (for my own addictions)...
For those of you that have been waiting for it, up to episode 14 of Le Visiteur du Futur season 2 is subbed. (Now I can test my terrible listening comprehension. And not get any sleep tonight.) Eeeeeeee! Just one more!For the rest of you: sorry for the spam! Business as usual over here. Happy Chanukah ( Read more... ) -
You look at the fish, then you eat them
Ahhh, man, this is going to be a busy week. So, as a preemptive strike against insanity, I dragged look_alive to Shedd Aquarium for some much-needed fish-staring and fish-photographing (followed by a nearly hazardous amount of fish-eating in the form of infinite sushi). And she put up with me photographing basically everything. Okay, I didn't post all of ( Read more... ) -
The world's last unpleasant experience will be a precisely dateable event
I am giving myself exactly 6 minutes to write this, in the hopes that I will sleep before work tomorrow ( Read more... ) -
I bet you don't expect a girl to come to blows
Guuyyyys guess what I got! I got a fancy new camera (well, new to me. Not so new in the grand scheme of things). I can play with lenses now (I already have two lenses to play with)! I can adjust ISO settings and obsess over depth of field and take millions of pictures. And so this is mostly a heads-up that there will be a sudden increase in ( Read more... ) -
All the thoughts fit to type at the moment
The following thoughts are on a repeating loop in my brain right now:
- Whether it's a net negative that I've been liking albums that turn up in Grammy nominations and bands that are playing huge venues now (as a corollary: whether I'm getting old and uncool.) I want to see the Black Keys! I kind of want to see Bon Iver but you did not just see ( Read more... ) -
Ah, procrastination
I hate that I'm currently procrastinating on things that don't, in the grand scheme of things, even matter in order to avoid thinking further about how I'm procrastinating on things that do. So, to distract myself from my distraction-distraction:
I just finished watching The Visitor from the Future, which is an absolutely adorable and rather ( Read more... ) -
I am a wuss!
From now on, I am no longer allowed to have any more container gardens. None! My stupid tomatoes refused to give up and accept that winter was coming, and when I went out tonight to do my laundry I noticed that one of them was blooming. Stupid, stupid tomato! So of course my silly sentimental self felt bad about leaving them outside to die and ( Read more... )
