somewhere over the rainbow

[livejournal.com profile] austen_15 reminded me (as though I haven't been bouncing about it constantly) that JASNA happens soon!

Ooh, I am so fantastically excited. All I need is a ride to the airport, which if push comes to shove can happen via bus, and then mum's picking me up in Chicago (so I don't have to take the shuttle to Milwaukee)! Vivs and I have plans for much sisterly movie time, including The Corpse Bride (finally!), but that will have to happen Sunday.

Because I'm going to tumble into bed by the time I get home (probably suspiciously close to midnight!) and be up early for the AGM...

Kim Wilson and I have been back-and-forthing about the fashion show, and it looks like no matter what we'll have some darling dresses to wear! I can't wait!

------

I apparently wrote something last night without knowing it. Slightly frightening. I can't quite get over it, which is surely annoying my poor IM-ers.

------

DVD reader/writer scheduled to arrive on Thursday! This is a very happy chica!

------

I can't decide whether to go to bed now or not. I don't think I'm tired. Which makes sense given my minor hibernation stint -- crashed at 3 in the morning, fell out of bed at 11:09 and stumbled off to bag-lunch and a class, then fell back into bed around 1 and woke up at quarter to seven for dinner. Then tried to nap at 8ishly after yelling at muses, failed, wrote, and now it's 2:30 wtf.

Well, I do have a headache, so at least that's going according to schedule.

Hell yes I'm a Janette. I do remember the contest squee (and congrats again BTW!) but I'm not exactly big on the whole memory thing so you probably did mention the Con but I probably forgot *headdesk*

girl, why the fuck did you have to move so soon. we could have terrorized Chicago.

[identity profile] xzombiexkittenx.livejournal.com 2005-10-05 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Move? I'm still in Chicago...

I'm confused. And possibly having brain troubles from lack of sleep / IQ.

...
You free Friday night?

[identity profile] xzombiexkittenx.livejournal.com 2005-10-05 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
sadly no. I'm at the NIN gig this friday. Poopy. Okay, not poopy for seeing NIN but still...

I spent the summer in england and canada and my parents moved house (which is what you might have been thinking of...I live with them when I'm not at uni)

[identity profile] meletor-et-al.livejournal.com 2005-10-05 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
well that's confusing. I blame you for my headache.

also, damn. but have fun at NIN! I'll be killing time at O'Hare or something on Tuesday also... but I have no actual idea what *time*.

[identity profile] xzombiexkittenx.livejournal.com 2005-10-05 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
where abouts are you now that you're flying (I too am also confused)? I know you're at uni but I confess that I lost track of where.

Hm. It's 2.30 and I have a class at nine (which I totally slept through today. *wince* I might nip off to bed shortly.

Maine (http://www.bowdoin.edu).

I'm about to hit the sack as well. it's been enlightening, though.

I wondered what'd happened to that Janeite-squee *bounces*

DVD drive!? eeek! Still need to send you stuff. We [livejournal.com profile] purpletom couldn't get it encoded in NTSC, but if you're playing it through a computer it should be able to understand the PAL format. Hopefully.

(and if that just looks like sheer gobble-de-gook: NTSC is the way that TV, DVDs, video etc. is encoded in the US {probably in Canada as well}; PAL is the system used in Europe. I think it's to with how many lines there are on the screen. Anyway, computer software should understand both, but a standard DVD player attatched to a TV probably would only do so if it was multi-region.*)

*Don't quote me on this

[identity profile] meletor-et-al.livejournal.com 2005-10-05 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
yes, I know about PAL, dearling. thank you. and yay!

You seemed confused when I said about it before Tom burned the dvd for you... *shrugs*
