I wrote something!
Jul. 25th, 2006 10:42 pmI wrote something all for me. which means it may objectively suck, but that really doesn't matter in the slightest. because I am happy. *grin*
will type up later; have dishes to wash now.
will type up later; have dishes to wash now.
so, this is how it went down.
last night I came wobbling into my room after falling asleep while playing Animal Crossing at Shorty (Pidge's new nickname)'s behest, only to find that my clock had gone all blinky and stupid when I'd bashed the power switch on the surge protector strip earlier that evening. so I set my alarm clock to the proper time, as determined by the Incorrigible's clock.
( the only thing is, in my drowsy stupor I *completely forgot* that the Incorrigible's still on Eastern Time. )
OTOH, I now have time to ready the Black Pearl for her maiden voyage to work with me. :D

Good Idea: replacing the burnt-out light bulbs in your ceiling fixture.
Bad Idea: standing on a swivel chair to replace the burnt-out bulbs in your ceiling fixture.
in other and entirely unrelated news, I have the best girlfriend ever in the history of Ever. ever. ♥
now, back to vidding!
(p.s. -- does anyone happen to have an .avi of CotBP? because I'd like to include some clips from that film as well (assuming the ratios pan out and all), but don't have the oomph right now to rip it myself.even though I should actually have ripped it about six months ago, when I first agreed to make that one vid for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xzombiexkittenx which I haven't started but HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN *cough*)

Jul. 22nd, 2006 04:51 pmso, my paid status goes poof tomorrow. I might renew, but probably not because I mean I did majorly splurge on the Black Pearl and I've got two more Events Which Will Cost Not A Little Money coming up, and of course the whole school thing.
and all that means I have to decide which 6 icons I'm keeping! (oy, by the way, will status-poofing maul my current layout, does anyone know? or will it be like moodthemes where I just won't be able to do a new one?) being me, of course, I can't decide shit for shit, so please shower me with your opinions! I need to go from 104 to 6.
ETA: no worries. .:: smooches__dtrain ::.

__dtrain ::.yes, I had to wake up at some buttcrack-of-dawn hour (6:00! as if my usual 7:30 isn't early enough; that's just cruel!), and yes, I have to ferry people around all day when I'm not working. yet, I am heartened, because.
someone (finally!) posted DMC at that I ♥ cinema place, and all the comments thus far have been of Norrington-love (and also of "go see it in theaters, you weenies, because it's worth it yo!). and you know what? OF COURSE THEY HAVE. because he is JAMES. FUCKING. NORRINGTON, and he is JUST THAT AWESOME.
go forth, and have spectacular days. *huge grin*

Jul. 20th, 2006 10:22 pmLook what I found!
Yes, I know, somebody's almost certainly already linked to it; heck, there's a decent chance I've linked to it in the Dirty Big Resource Post or somewhere. Regardless, it has given me joy.
Look! Shiny history resources!

Jul. 20th, 2006 01:28 ammy daddy has a job interview tomorrow morning. prayers please~
I went out this afternoon to get a pair of running shoes...
I came home with the Black Pearl.
i.e. a sleek black 60GB video iPod.
i.e. my baby.
I also got a black "Sports Jacket" sleeve/case and an extra year of care & warranty (through CompUSA, not Apple, of course) and a travel charger, so she'll be in the best of hands. er, form-fitting silicon.
and now I have to mop the floor, when all I really want to do is ditch all previous plans of ficcing and love on my new toy.

Fun Things Learned From Etymonline
Jul. 17th, 2006 06:54 pm(The Online Etymology Dictionary)
1: NEW DRUNK PHRASE - half seas over. being a phrase with a high Nauticality Quotient and also much fun in that no-one apparently knows quite what it really means.
2: OLD DRUNK PHRASE - three sheets to the wind (see entry 2). being a phrase with which I am loath to part, but which was apparently first recorded in the 19th c., making it colloquial contraband[1] in PotC-fic *weep*
[1] - unless, of course[2], one uses the "ZOMBIE MONKEY!" defense, in which case anything goes, even periwigs + bucket-top boots.[3]
[2] - I originally typed this as "curse" and find that amusingly appropriate.
[3] - I am now assaulted by the image of Jack in a periwig, and find it impressively disturbing.

| Hail to you who is SANGUINE!!! Oh how the world needs the Fun Sanguine. The lift of joy in troubled times. The touch of innocence in a jaded era. The gift of humor when we're heavy hearted. The enthusiasm and energy to start over and over again. The creativity and charm to color a drab day. The simplicity of a child in complex situations. ( bla bla bla other quiz shit. ) ya rly. now I just need to finish this fic, so I can get me some o' that attention before I crash :P |
getting back into ficcing is hard!
Jul. 14th, 2006 04:50 pm[16:45] meletor_et_al: god my prose is dense, what the hell?

[16:45]meletor_et_al: really? right now I'm feeling it more like walking through a narrow cave webbed with spaghetti.

Jul. 14th, 2006 12:47 amno, seriously; I just wanted to show off this icon. HEE!
I'm willing to share (and ridiculously vain) so if anyone else wants to use it gankery is a welcome compliment *g*
( a couple more )
once I have more than JUST THREE, I'll post them to some comm or something. just... advanced warning of spammage, or whatever. BEDTIME.

Jul. 13th, 2006 08:56 amum, I just had a Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder version) x Superman (Brandon Routh version) crossover dream. it was weird. I think there was some King Kong in there, too. and it all took place at Bowdoin College, in the middle of Metropolis. and Jack Sparrow was teaching a Psychic Skills/Analysis course and kept forgetting the AV equipment. so my mother yelled at him and took over as professor.
man, I really need to stop with the smoking crack before bedtime.

Jul. 12th, 2006 09:24 pmThis poll springs from my own musing about which movie (Pirates 1 or Pirates 2) had the better [insert aspect here], as well as my intense curiosity about what others think regarding the same. These are simple questions with simple answers, not because I believe that the decision between Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Chest is anything like simple, but because I am looking for the most immediate answers without qualification. When in doubt, just go with your gut :)
[Poll #768189]
Thank you for your time & patience!
Polls about characters and acting are coming up later, to further vex and annoy you.

...actually, jaquesmoineau pretty much said it.

BTW: I need a Scruffington icon and other DMC icons. means I need pictures for to make INTO icons. and also that I need to get my ass on photoshop again soon o_o
