you can't do that with a tiffany lamp!

in a couple of minutes I'm leaving to start my first day back at the hotel. SQUEE! though I appear to have lost my uniform, which is part of why I have to go in so early. Wendy is gonna laugh at me o_o

and also, later today I should hear back about starting at the American Cancer Society, making fundraising calls in the evenings. which is gonna rock!

so I'm gonna have work, and moneys, and some time in the next couple of weeks I'm getting my belly button pierced. for serious!

today was a crap day. I started it by falling face-first off my bed (which, for those of you who don't already know, is somewhere around five feet above the ground) and have just ended it with a car accident -- not too bad: no injuries (aside from, yanno, the leftovers from FALLING FACE-FIRST OFF MY MOTHERFUCKING BED, which include rugburn on my forehead and under my nose, a bitten lip, and a bruise on my cheekbone/browbone and right shoulder from BASHING ONE HARD INTO THE OTHER), a busted headlight, hood dink, and wobbled bumper on our car, and a dented back rear wheel-well area for theirs; but still full of suck.

dude. fuck Wisconsin. fuck it.

it was on the way back from the game exchange store, though, where Pidge got From Russia With Love for Gamecube and Quake for N64, and I got ... All-Star Baseball 2004 for Gamecube. shut up. so I'm going to go have some nice soup for dinner, and play or watch my brother play or watch Friday's Numb3rs episode or something ("something" will probably include watching the Oscars because YAY! ELLEN!), to chill out and get my feet back under me before calling the accident in to the insurance company.


ON A HAPPY NOTE, THOUGH! tiggothy! I got the little guys safely, and they don't appear to have fought too much! each one is on an opposite side of my keyring, making jingly clacky noises. thank you for the smiles, darling, and for the motivation to go get my own copies of our house and car keys made. ♥


[ETA: HOLY FUCK WHY DO I HAVE "DRIVE IN DRIVE OUT" STUCK IN MY HEAD? ...wait, no. don't answer that.]

[ETA2: YAAAAAAAAY MELISSA ETHERIDGE!]

so yeah, I'm actually writing that fic wherein Don wishes Charlie away to the Goblin City; I just need phurie_dae to get online so I can throw the first thousandish words at her.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?


and now, dishes.

I'm feeling too crummy to do housework, which means I'm working on the footnotes, which means I don't ACTUALLY have much work I'm able to do with that until our next meeting, which means I'm trying to procrastinate. also, lie on the couch in a big fluffy blanket listening to my DMB/SPN/Andrew Bird (he's kinda new, and really good!) mix.

memes!

important spam!

Billie Piper and James D'Arcy in Mansfield Park 2007!
I am a slacker and did not look this up on IMDb when I should have, so I'm all excited now!

Billie Piper. James D'Arcy! BILLIE PIPER!

TEXAS HOLD'EM ON NUMB3RS LOLOLOLOLOL (yeah, I'm lookin' at you, girl).

also, the moral of this episode?
DAVID + COLBY = BOYFRIENDS 4EVR YES OK.

lastly: Colby should have been doing some of that sparring. Dylan knows how!!!

this movie really makes me want to see Bettany as the Joker. like, really really. more than before, which was already a heck of a lot. damn you Heath Ledger! I mean, you guys. HE MADE PANCAKES. and WORE BLACK GLOVES, and was all slick and evil but also totally a false sweetheart to the family and DUDE, THE BOY DOES BAD SO WELL.

um. did I mention the black gloves? yis.

unfortunately, I had to stop watching just now when ( spoiler )

so I guess I'll never know the end. Bettany's character probably dies, anyway, but that just means he and Rippner can play Obscenely Pretty Dead Bad Guys in Hell, where there's lots of buttsex. ... what? who said that?

newsflash: I'm geekier than Heinlein fans! (see "Piers Anthony fans", and then ask silverjet747 whether I did not in fact pick up a Xanth book at H. W. Schwartz and seriously consider buying it (but then decide not to because there's always the library and I'm totally broke, yanno).)

...wait. what?

ok so what happens when I confess that it took me five-to-ten minutes of staring just to remotely *get* that flowchart? oh. you laugh. nifty!


ION, I saw an ad for Zodiac tonight while watching Supernatural (which, by the way? TOTALLY CRAZY. OH. MY POOR BOYS. ... I just called them "my boys," didn't I? OMG obi_wansgirl, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!). I just ... um. I did. it made me go "HEY!" and then "...oh," and then "I SHOULD TELL--" and then "...oh," again. SO, I'M MAKIN' A POST. HEY WORLD, I TOTALLY SAW THE TEASER FOR ZODIAC ON THE TV TONIGHT.


dude, guys. time for me to STFU and get back to work, a.k.a. Death By Footnotes.

SO, LADIES (and maybe dudes), DO WE (being, of course, the Numb3rs fangirls -- and maybe boys, too!) HAVE THE MOST UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL CAST OR WHAT?

for those of you playing at home, the answer is, "Hell yes."

( this is our beautiful, beautiful cast (not dialup-safe). )
