Tonight's chat/viewing is mostly nailed down to 8:30 EST (EST being GMT -5), give or take a half an hour. Basically just be online some time between 8 and 9 (preferably closer to the "8" end), and I'lldrag invite you into the chat(s) [I'm garnetpalomino on AIM and Y!, tehnorr (at) hotmail on MSN, in case you don't know]. Similar thing for Sunday, unless we find a more efficient method, although I don't know yet what time we'll be getting together. If you're a bit late, don't worry -- even if we've already started we'll help you find your place. No problem, no trouble!
Here are the lists (if you've got multiple SNs and want to pick one or two chats over the others, let me know and I'll edit/invite accordingly):
( Friday! )
( Sunday! )
okay, and THESE LISTS ARE NOT SET IN STONE. Duh. If you're free tonight, or Sunday afternoon (even if you didn't take the poll or reply to that post!), or if you were but are suddenly not, or basically anything, drop me a comment here (safer than catching me on IM, because a comment stays put and I'm less likely to drop the ball), and we'll dialogue. The more the merrier!
I'M EXCITED! ARE YOU?

ima_pseudonym just broke my heart to perfection, so while I'm trying to recover I lifted this meme off of wulingyi:1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

who all is not surprised, raise your hand.
...not the sweetest representative quote, though, is it?

Jan. 28th, 2006 12:18 amphurie_dae, if you're going to be such an insufferable sweetheart you can at least be available sometimes!right, so I spent the day doing school chores and making icons (and also dancing around my dorm room to David Bowie). regarding icons, this is nowhere near the amount I wanted to have done for a complete set, so I'm just going to post here because I like them and want to show them off, and now that I've gotten the hang of this style I'll get a handful more done tomorrow after The Keep and some calculus. right now, I am sapped, and want to sleep.
( animated icons porn! woohoo! (seriously, one of these is NESFW <small>(not <i>entirely</i> safe for work)</small>.) )
strange and silly as it sounds, if you want to adopt any of these I'd appreciate it if you'd wait for me to have a Post of Reasonable Size out with them at the comms.
much love!
ETA: I KNOW the html is a can of shit. not changing it. deal.
I am getting to a normal sleep schedule. made myself stay up until 7ish-8ish P.M. and woke up naturally at 5ish A.M. --see, the night before, I didn't sleep, having slept from 4 to 11 P.M.. I am going to get there. I mean it.
( in other news, )
WOW. I SERIOUSLY THINK THAT WAS THE MOST BORING ENTRY EVER.

(p.s. Every time I scroll through my userpics, I am filled with So Much Love(tm) for whichever guardian angel bought me six more months. I'm still -- just incredibly grateful, and floored. ♥)

dude you guys, I just made a ridorkulous ASS of myself in calc class.
we had to take a screening test, which is good because my brain was like, "numbers? what the fuck NUMBERS? oh HELL no. and what's this little jaggy thing? and YOU PROMISED I'D NEVER HAVE TO DO ABSOLUTE VALUES AGAIN, BITCH. well fuck that, I'm out of here." and I'm just left sitting there drooling on my pen going 'uhhh... I can give you about six synonyms for "parallel"...' (except I can't, but when the professor was searching for a word in the beginning of class I knew the one he wanted was "ethereal").
stupid brain.
so yeah. now I'm just going to listen to that No Man's Land audio drama until Tolkein class, where I can hopefully not be a complete vegetable.
STUPID BRAIN!
---appendix; a.k.a. proof:--
"The Chicago Board of Trade is one of the most recognized buildings in the Loop," (quote from CAF Tours webpage, picture from Emporis) WHICH IS WHY THE GOOD PEOPLE OF BATMAN BEGINS DECIDED TO SLAP A BIG FAKE W ON IT AND CALL IT FICTIONAL. good call, boys. but seriously, I love it. because it is right fucking there. and so art-deco, therefore so Gotham. promise I'll shut up now.

other than that, things have been ... decent. quite decent indeed. and I like this icon (and its accompanying song *g*).

"Mel, here's what I say...
People? Suck. People suck. But then, there are some people, who don't suck. And you want to think about those people, and forget the people who suck.
And, I bet you've got lots of people online who think you are the bee's rollerskates.
...
And that's what I've got to say.
Ooh, anti-lock brakes!"

You are the people who don't suck. I love you.

books to take to bed with one

holy beans, man. GENIUS. I want onefor every book in my library.
My Man Jeeves! The Importance of Being Earnest! P&P! oooee!

My Man Jeeves! The Importance of Being Earnest! P&P! oooee!
really, I should very much be packing. last time I checked my clothes were still in the dryer, though, so.
tomorrow morning I catch the train to go stay withgambling_pirate for a few days (FLIST AMNESTY!), and from there it's straight to school arriving at 10pm the night before classes start (incidentally also the day before my lovely, lovely (WHAT WAS I THINKING?) 8:30 A.M. differential calculus class. oh god.
today I dyed my hair (again, but with real permanent dye this time!), bought "violet vamp" nailpolish because Kitten made me do it, painted my nails with said "violet vamp" while watching the Globes (ima_pseudonym! it's a fad!), did laundry, and
found notification for an anonymous gift of 6 months paid LJ and icon space in my inbox.
ok, there are only two people to whom I remember mentioning the impending poof of my paid status and icons. therefore, barring strange mystery stalkers, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. maybe. SOMETHING VAGUELY NEAR TO A 50% CHANCE. since I find "omg, show yourself" stupidly annoying, kittenfic is for you. everybody like kittenfic. you try it, you like it, you live many happy day, I stop talking like that lady from the New China Buffet down the street (gods packing is going to be impossible if my brain doesn't jack back in soon).
whoever you are, THANK YOU. you've made a very, very happy girl.
in conclusion, I will be around until vaguely tennish tomorrow morning, and then I don't know what internetitude will be like and anyway PIRATE! so I am going to be occupied. will try to check in. do ring me if you need anything; my number's in that entry from late August.
[ETA re: the Golden Globes and P&P3-- EMMA! SWEETIE! DON'T SAY THESE THINGS; YOU KNOW THEY'RE NOT TRUE!]
[ETA2: bwee hee. picked up (*coughcough*downloaded) the Woodstock 1970 recording last night and am currently giving da a heart attack with it. But Daddy! Stop telling me stories while I'm trying to pack!]

yes, I'm a little slow sometimes.
spent tonight finalizing trip-home (i.e. back to Bowdoin) plans, drinking cold tea, forgetting to eat, and watching Les Girls with Pidge. we both nearly exploded during the lead-in to 'Why Am I So Gone (About That Gal)?', pointing and squeaking: "That's the one!" ...oh boy, we're pathetic. but it was late, and it was fun, and I'll set up my laptop downstairs and snatch the audio tomorrow.

( A Very Scary Story )
And then I went to the Amtrak station at the airport; failed at getting tickets; went with Mum and a lemon meringue pie over to my great-aunt's to celebrate all three of our birthdays at once; discussed Foucault, current political sexual viewpoints, and interior decorating; told her the clapper-switch for her light was on crack (she laughed hysterically); discussed BoP with Mum all the way back (and all the way there, actually, as she'd immediately answered my 'you know how everyone had imaginary friends when they were little and I never did? well I appear to have a few now' with: 'Kitten?', which, am I that obvious in RL? guess so); played GAMEUUUBE!! with Pidge (007-AUF and Soul Calibur II both with the game music off and the BoP playlist going instead); watched Velvet Goldmine (again with Pidge, who said, upon reading the opening credits with 'Ewan McGregor' ... 'Christian Bale', "Why do you always do this?" ("Do what?") "FIND ALL THE AWESOME MOVIES?! ... AND THEY ALL HAVE MAKEUP!"); came upstairs and made ravioli and went to bed.
Those last three words are speculation.
NIGHT!

tidbit from the Red Eye commentary:
Jan. 11th, 2006 01:27 amanyone else who noticed a few shots where Cillian looked... weird, as in, eyebrow issues, &c -- he'd just come off BoP.
Sayeth the filmmakers:
-Cillian had been playing a transvestite
-Yeah.
-And had lost a lot of weight.
-And had plucked eyebrows.
-Yeah. So there's a couple of shots, ok, throughout the film, well if you noticed, that were, I guess, done earlier in production where you can see that his eyebrows are perhaps a little thinner than you might like them.
-Yes, yes.
BWEE HEE!
so his eyebrows change size. like, between shots, within scenes. they really do! I caught it already a few times in the checkin line! I wasn't imagining things!
and I love the pretty Cillian, but, with that character, bearing, hair, &c. ...
IT LOOKS FUCKED.
I love it.
*is going to watch very carefully for eyebrow issues now*
