you can't do that with a tiffany lamp!

*blink* *blink*

...I dozed off somewhere in the behind-the-scenes featurette for Kinsey, and woke up very confused. Still trying to shake the feeling.

Oh, I'm also cold.




--damned good movie, though.


(will definitely wait on watching Disco Pigs until tomorrow)

( the things we do for love )

...and now my soup is cold. and also the mail room continues to be backlogged. and also... that's about it.


(I'd like to thank WinMediaPlayer for the ironic playlist/post setup)

I'm telling you guys, Vicinity of Obscenity (banana banana banana banana terra cotta banana terra cotta terra cotta PIE!) is a freaking addictive song. I will post it up for y'all, as soon as I can be bugged to.

So, I hope everyone who celebrates it had a great Thanksgiving. Myself, nothing much, just quiet and R&R and it snowed which made me obscenely happy. SNOW! As in, the sort that accumulates! There's at least an inch out there! *happy noises*

My Black Friday to-do list (that's what I have instead of going shopping, y'see) is about 3/4 done -- I made-almost-completed a layout (which is still waiting for johanirae's ok), caught up on a bunch of reading, vacuumed the dorm, and found a box of Kashi Natural Ranch all-natural whole-grain crackers. That last thing wasn't on my list, but it is a good thing. Got a few more things to check off, and then I'll probably just cuddle up with Breakfast on Pluto -- Vivs reawakened my urge to read it when I was busily pimping it to her the other night -- and listen to Christmas music/Spanish pop/System Of A Down until I fall asleep some time between... 5 and 7. I'm trying to tone it back down at least a little before classes start back up, despite the fact that outside of said classes I am roughly incapable of waking up and staying awake if what I really want is to go back to bed.

And, that is all.
Hasta luego.

...there are some times when I second-guess my habit of typing the first song line I hear as I start the update for my entry title...

anyway. we love SOAD, yes we do.

SO. good things:

~Vivs sent me the .zip of Hypnotize, System Of A Down's new album. much love. see? see how much love? I don't think it's quite as outstanding as Mezmerize, which I adore, but it's very, very good.

~iconned; made two icons of the Cranky Old Ninja. I do still have to make the "Sith Lord" one, but I don't want to tonight. so when that one's done they'll all go up for grabs.

not so good things:

~did you know the store-where-I-don't-have-to-use-real-money closed at 5 today? yeah neither did I. gonna have to steal bagels at breakfast and lunch, and stockpile them. YAY.

~I don't know if the mail desk is open tomorrow. I hope hope hope it is, reallyreally. but... GAH. DAMMIT, THANKSGIVING, WHY DON'T YOU PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE? I bite my thumb at you.

neutral things having to do with crack:

Title: not Champagne (oh come on. I'm not putting real effort into picking a title!)
Canon, Plot, Sense: yeah, right
Length: damned sight longer than I thought it was gonna be
Mature for adult m/m sexual content
direct continuation of "Champagne Taste"; same cracked-up timeline as that and "Champagne"

shrieking_ell gets AT LEAST half the blame.

( Dick started swearing to himself as he left the auditorium and got on his bike )

there will be another SMALL piece, direct companion to Ell's one, but I haven't written it yet.


THAT IS ALL!

Yep. Still fangirl.* And I've got the poster to prove it (HUGE points to George).


...so, raise your hand if "Hallelujah" still makes you cry, or at least sniffle.
oh and also if you know where I can find that vid again.

me, I'm taking a nap.



*those who actually doubted this are now welcome to take a long walk off a short pier, with my blessing

mmm, I've discovered a new love: IZZE sparkling fruit juice. specifically, sparkling blueberry. it's yummy, and healthy, and a full serving of fruit. ooh and it comes in a glass bottle -- I fall for glass bottles every time.

.::bounces goofily around the room::. ok.

I still have a chunk or two more of the crack thingee to write. was going to do that this afternoon. got distracted. oops. also have a film noir paper to take from crappy to decent. but I'm only 4 hours into the day, so, I've got plenty of time. *isohsoverynocturnallately*


I go see a movie with George tonight. I'm still not sure whether it's HP4 or P&P3. one or the other, and then the one it isn't we go to see later this week. I shall let you know what the outcome is.

OMG-BOWIE-IMPERSONATOR-*fallsdowndead*

I... he... sound rehearsal... and I was in the union getting my mail... and he's SO DAMN GOOD.

nngh I can't wait for the show tonight.

 

 

GUH.

(p.s. David Brighton Red Cross benefit concert Space Oddity tribute to David Bowie student union 8pm tonight)

So I think I started hallucinating in econ today. ...Or that coulda just been the PPF curve -- they can get kinda wacky.

Speaking of (econ), I believe I did this exam ridiculously better than I did the last. Possibly because there was Real Econ on it, and not a bunch of ecology bullsh*t. Nggrgh. And, I'd better have done ridiculously... better... (I need a nap) because another C+ will bite me in the butt so hard ... I was going to say "I(t)'ll bite back" but that just means a lot of WEIRD images ...yeah.

silverjet747 had an AIM music party last night... this morning... La Oreja de Van Gogh and then some oldie-but-goodie X-mas standbys.


Which, therefore... here, have one of my favorite things ever written in Spanish:

me callo porque es mas comodo enganarse
me callo porque ha ganado la razon al corazon

or at least, right now it is.
God, I love Oreja. So much.


VESTIDO AZUL.

mmm. Srettan, baby, you're my hero.

things are really getting serious with me and iTunes. I'm just hoping winamp doesn't get jealous or anything... but jeez. for being a shuffle of every song on my harddrive, iTunes has been cooperatively mellow all afternoon. and right now, mmm, VNV Nation.

after a nice nap (was up until 6:30am vidding, good lord), I'm thinking today's a graphicking day. I have this desire to make a header, but I don't have anywhere to put it. unless... anyone know of layouts that work with headers for free accounts? I vaguely recall there was a minor crab somewhere recently about ... something similar WRT communities. but I mean for accounts...

anyway.


I think tonight's the Big Thanksgiving Dining Hall Show-Off... should probably check on that. hm.

So here's the plan.

I'm going to study like possessed for this econ exam, finish the editing for Tem's vid, and pretend I'm not drowning in guilt worrying about how my family's actually paying for food and heating back home.


Now would be a really good time for Dad to get that job. A job. Some job...please.
