the family (Vivs, Pidge, parents and I) just got back from The Prestige at the local budget cinema.

IT WAS AWESOME.

I'm gonna go watch it again some time soon; probably make it a double-feature with DMC which is also playing there. woo! and Vivs just popped her head in to inform me of the credits song at the end (Analyse; Thom Yorke), so more with the yay! ... I love how it took me until now to actually clicky-connect him with Radiohead. oops.


HUGH JACKMAN HAS ALIEN ABS. OMG.

so. I got the job! it is basically picking up the grimy, citation-y pieces of all the research this woman's done on her book over the course of fourteen years. and the manuscript's fiftyish pages, but.

she is less organized than I am. (*gasp*)

which is to say, basically, that random surprise bits of the bibliographic info I need are just NOT THERE, so my job is to go find them and then make all the citations happen in an organized and shiny fashion. like magic. .:: wiggles fingers ::.


IOW, AAH, FOOTNOTES!
themeletor: close-up of a cupcake in the grass against a blue sky (me; boots)
feeling very ... erm. transient. s'pose it's the proper way to feel the day after Christmas, but this was a particular kind of transient -- one which I don't usually connect with 12/26. spent the first half of the day listening to Bowie and driving around; chauffering the brother-kid and then trying and failing to find a post-Christmas Christmas present for [livejournal.com profile] __dtrain. then I decided I perhaps felt like writing; tried and failed at that and at eating dinner, so I thought maybe I'd better watch something instead, where "something" equals Tipping the Velvet, which I've read as the novel but never watched the adaptation. so I'm about ... an eighth of the way through part 2 of 3? and there's that.

got a lovely tallship glass paperweight and the Yale Shakespeare (complete works; great big beautiful replacement for my loved-to-death cross-generational Big Black Book of Shakespeare) from the parents, and smelly lotion stuff and chocolates from the aunts and uncles. small Christmas. nice Christmas :)

so there's also that.


also stole a few small boxes for the sending of cookies! :D

there is nothing, and I definitely mean NOTHING, that is so knee-meltingly, spine-shakingly, pants-wettingly blow-your-hair-back sexy as Rob Morrow reciting lines from Shakespeare.

Henry V.

THE ST. CRISPIN'S DAY SPEECH.

SO, I AM TOTALLY MAKING SOME WILD AND WACKY SUGAR COOKIES!

(and maybe some more traditional shapeses. mayyybe.)


those of you who are getting goodies, ANY REQUESTS? (though if you don't think of anything, it might be more fun, because then I will make you a SPECIAL SURPRISE COOKIE JUST FOR YOU!)


in conclusion, I'm baking. I'm excited.
...but not naked! sorry.

I'm HOOOME!

I took the bus to Boston and stayed overnight with my mom's friend Cindy, who is AWESOME and has two REALLY HUGE DOGS, and then I took the train to Albany where I had a fucking expensive chicken cesar salad and bought a book of math logic puzzles that I never finished (and ok kind of barely started), and jumped right back on the train to Chicago, and slept kind of a lot and made myself very sore, and then when I got to Milwaukee my mom and I went to right away to see my great-aunt Birdie who's leaving TOMORROW FOR FLORIDA, FOREVER, DAMN YOU FLORIDA WHY DO YOU SNATCH ALL THE AWESOME PEOPLE IN MY LIFE (I have a headache, btw), and then I had peppermint truffle frozen custard and came home and read halfway through my little brother's letter to his little Mexican buddy when my sister came through the door so I had to yell at her and then I had CABBAGE AND MEATBALLS FOR DINNER, YAY and then I hooked up to the internet and watched the Numb3rs inFANity thing and omg it is so awesomedorable (that's a word now, ok) and um I still have a headache so I'm going to crash now until my brother's done watching Bones I can pimp either Northern Exposure or Firefly at him.

OKAY!

and I'll start catching up on things maybe later tonight!

I am feeling stupid because: Pearl has been throwing a multiple-week-long hissyfit which, I thought, included not responding to any attempts to reset her (it also included not turning off her backlight, refusing to go into sleep mode, and, most recently, causing abuse to the Incorrigible, who really just doesn't deserve that). turns out I was just hitting the wrong buttons. we're good now :)

I am feeling not-stupid because: I just had my German 101 final. now, mind you, I was feeling stupid for a while in there (and I still figure I got EVERY. SINGLE. FREAKING. ARTICLE. WRONG), but after everyone else had finished and gone I took a break from my last short essay to chat a little with my professor, and she said things like she thought I was smart! and gifted with languages! and a joy to have in class! even though I hardly ever turned in my homework! *glow*

I am feeling excited because: I've got the cookies & treats & stuff all figured out, and am way pumped to get started! dude, this is seriously going to happen! YAY!


also, after my shower today I walked straight out of my towel and into a warm fluffy blanket, curled up on my bed, and didn't get up until noon. that's something I haven't done since I was TINY. I'm still ambivalent as to whether it was a worthwhile use of my time, but at the moment I'm leaning toward 'yes.'
themeletor: close-up of a cupcake in the grass against a blue sky (numb3rs: bad boys don't get presents)
so wow, everyone on my friendslist (that I've read) today wasn't lying; these update boxes actually are different. I'm a little bit boggled, and I don't like change. but ok! I can deal!

anyhow, here's the thing. this afternoon, [livejournal.com profile] __dtrain mentioned a certain fondness for (and desire to see): Don, Joel, and handcuffs.

this evening, I needed a break from studying.
and [livejournal.com profile] phurie_dae was available to get spammed at.

in conclusion, yay, speedporn!

140-word drabblething; I totally blame Fleischman 'cause the first line's all his. (really!) )


[p.p.s. sorry honey, no table, just a bed; maybe next time ;-)]
themeletor: close-up of a cupcake in the grass against a blue sky (numb3rs: nerd)
so, it's 2 in the morning and me, I'm battling finals. or, well, I sounded a temporary retreat.

so for everyone who's in the midst of finals, just finished them (congrats you!), or is simply having One Of Those Days Nights, don't worry; even the best of us get stuck in our sweatshirts sometimes. )

say it with me: WE CAN DO IT! NAKED ROB CAN HELP!

now, get back to work.

so, seeing as how it has lasted for two days (two sleeps, two showers, several naps!), I feel that I am perfectly justified in announcing that right now I totally have Joe Flanigan / John Sheppard hair!

except for it being medium-brown with reddish tips, of course.

but! it's really quite wild; I wish I could take a picture. and! it amuses me. I also need to determine the mystical conditions that got it this way, because actually? it looks kinda cute. I think. or, at the very least, wacky, which is definitely true to form :)

[livejournal.com profile] __dtrain, I'm sorry I didn't write in more porn.

Title: Baby, It's Cold Outside
Fandom: Numb3rs x Northern Exposure
Pairing: Don/Joel
Rating: Mature for adult sexual content. And language! And crack :D
Length: 2,350 words
Summary: Joel closed the door. "This is … this is really … weird."
Warnings: Never piss off a moose? Also, possible Rob Morrow Overload.
Disclaimer: Neither of these shows are mine. And there was much rejoicing.
Notes: The usual suspects, [livejournal.com profile] __dtrain and [livejournal.com profile] phurie_dae listened to me yammer about this and let me spam them. [livejournal.com profile] jobiegirl6 and [livejournal.com profile] shrieking_ell also got in on the game. You're all fantastic!
AND HEY. If you want the first four episodes of Northern Exposure all in one 700-MB .avi, I've got that here. It was kind of an accident.

( DON IS REALLY HOT AND JOEL IS A DORKFACE THE END )



ALSO, [livejournal.com profile] captain_molly, thank you so much for the paid time, and the icons, and the mistletoe! .:: smooches ::. you're such a sweetheart :)

stocking!

as we can see, I have Photoshit again. and Iamregard. :D

I've been meaning to make this icon since ... um, since the second time I saw DMC? so now I have, because I dreamt about Snakes on a Plane last night (it was NUTS!) and because Kishor called me off work (the butthead). and now I'm going to have a real, hot breakfast! on the weekend! what an idea!

.:: watches icon; giggles ::.

so, uh. I'm a dork, but you know what makes me really happy? the thought of going home and FINALLY getting to play with the new staySmart bedding at work -- no, not like that. (seriously. I was geeking about it for like an hour last night, just ask [livejournal.com profile] __dtrain.) it's so exciting! I'll actually get to make rooms look nice, and be proud of my work!

ummmmm ok. changing subject, I'm not excited about the whole spot-quotation direction in which W has decided to take our Shakespeare exam. tempted to print out a mess of sticky labels that say, "King Henry and/or Richard the *mumble*-th" and paste them all over the papers. technically, I'd be right. right? hush.

exams ... exams. augh, finals. driving me insane. I'm gonna go buy DMC, though, soon as the Hanson Christmas album is done copying onto Pearl, so that's a bright spot in these dark, dark days.


BTW, I keep forgetting to squee about the fabulous Santa hat [livejournal.com profile] gryphons_lair put on my icon! isn't it festive!


...all the snow here has melted. but we should get more soon :D

FINALLY, I HAVE TAKEN MY DORM ROOM BACK FROM THE EVIL FRUIT-FLIES.

my linens and bedclothes are shut away in the closet (I get to camp out in a sleeping bag tonight!), my garbage (including the errant banana peel that started this whole thing) is in the trash room, and my room smells of lovely fresh House & Garden Raid. tomorrow I shall buy a plug-in freshener, so it will smell of gingerbread and spice :)

and if anyone so much as touches the rest of my Dave Matthews Band ice cream sitting in the common room freezer, the whole of Chamberlain Hall will feel my wrath. I have already taken many lives this night; do not test me.


oh, also? I've started watching Firefly, one episode per night, because [livejournal.com profile] phurie_dae is evil-wonderful. SPACE MONKEYS!

:D
