So, I've never been a huge Trek fan. I liked the show alright, and TNG was definitely a part of my childhood, but I can't, say, name the movies in order and give plot summaries like my crazy Trekkie roommate. That said, I'm really excited about the new movie, having seen the new trailer. I'm not really interested in Kirk, but the Sylar dude as ( Read more... )

...am I the only one who really wanted Castiel to have a British accent? It's like, he started talking, and I just felt disappointed, and then I realized: He wasn't British. I think I'm programmed to connect angels with Brits: Dogma, Good Omens, Neverwhere, etc.

Laura and I have decided that Wednesday the 29th with be The Day for Beetle. The steroids have pretty much stopped working, and as of Thursday morning Beetle's only eaten about two bites of food. The biggest thing though is his breathing: he laid on me yesterday from the time I got home from class (1pm) til the time I had to go pick up Laura ( ( Read more... )

Beetle's medication seems to be working! Well, more or less. He's much more lucid and engaged, which is fantastic, and he is eating, although not a lot and he mostly has to be coaxed into it. He's breathing a little more easily, but he still wheezes a lot and about twice a day has low-grade asthma-like attacks. He's also not drinking very much ( Read more... )

Today was awful. The short version: Laura and I found out that my wonderful cat Beetle has terminal lung cancer. He has a couple weeks, maybe. If we're very, very lucky. If not, we have til about Saturday.

So... it's been awhile. Laura and moved at the end of July and haven't set up our internet and cable yet, so it's been a bit like living in a hermitage (granted a hermitage with running water and blessed air-conditioning). Things are going really well with us though. It is a bit strange to not have Adam and Nora around, I've lived within about ( Read more... )

Harry and the Potters are going to be at the Cat on July 1st. Who's with me?

I am now caught up on Torchwood, Supernatural, and Battlestar Galactica. My head? Thrice exploded ( Read more... )

Today, I went out to sit in the quad to study since it was a nice day and I've been really stressed out. It was so beautiful and relaxing though, I fell asleep really, really fast and almost missed Seapower, lol Now I'm kinda sunburned, but still it was the Best Nap Ever. Also, when I went to change my clothes for work, several sakura petals ( Read more... )

I have two papers I need to write today (because I didn't finish one on Fridy like I told myself I would, fuck) and I'm feeling SO APATHETIC the past few days that it's practically crippling. I'm getting towards the end of the first one now (Public Policy), but I'm so irritated and just in full not-wanting-to-be-doing-this mode that I feel like ( Read more... )
