I'm hungry and there's pretty much nothing to eat. Woe is me. I've spent the last forever trying to find the school supply list for Widget's impending doom, and I can't find a damn thing. Guys! Send it out or put it on your shitty, shitty, shitty website already. Sales are going on and I'm getting impatient.
There's this teacher's supply volunteer place that basically gives supplies to teachers from schools that are, let's face it, beyond poor. I'm tempted to email and ask if they're in need of help on Mondays, since I could do that. On the other hand, social anxiety means that while I find the idea of helping fab, the idea of actually doing it? Kinda scares me. Hmm. Still, might mention it to Mumsy. Hell, might email anyway. I'm just trying to figure out if I actually want to do it, or if I'm only interested because it seems interesting and hell, I'm in need of something new to fill the void.
Of course, the void isn't exactly new. It hasn't even officially been confirmed, though I'm saying that the lack of confirmation is exactly that-confirmation. Cass is miffed because he hasn't replied to her, and thus she feels that she isn't scary enough. He should be. She gets these ideas into her head and actually follows through. I have no doubt that if she wanted to, she'd hunt him down and kick his ass. It doesn't hurt that he ain't that much taller than she is.
Yes, it's come to that. I'm making short jokes at his expense. But he's the one throwing me away, so in return I'll make all the short jokes I want. I might forgive, eventually, the complete destruction of the relationship, because heaven knows I've pulled the plug more than once, so it was bound to happen the other way... even if I do maintain that he last time I told him goodbye, he pushed me there. But the part that's kicking me in the kidneys and making my jaw lock is the part where we've been friends for so long that I'm not entirely sure what to do with myself without that. I don't even have anything to compare that to, y'know? Of course the thought of saying a damn thing to him at the moment is enough to make me want to punch someone, so... I dunno.
It's sinking in, slowly. I kind of thought that maybe since I saw something coming, maybe I'd have prepared myself enough that I'd just move along and it wouldn't knock me down or out. Now I'm thinking that I was an idiot. Can't blame a girl for hoping.
I dreamt about the perfect car last night. When I woke up, I couldn't remember a damn thing. Which is a bit distressing as cars don't interest me and this car was perfect for me. Perfect. Siiiiiigh. Of course, I was distracted by the weirdness that followed in the dream, so... yeah.
Okay, I need something to munch and probably sleep. |

I downloaded, like, the entire run of The Authority yesterday, because scans_daily has filled with me with an unhealthy love of Apollo/Midnighter. It's like Batman and Superman, if Batman and Superman kicked people's heads off. And were married. (okay, the kicking heads off is mostly Midnighter, but Apollo blows things up by looking at them *beams*). And yes, I do think that Apollo tops. Don't ask me why. He just does, okay?
HOW CAN THE AUTHORITY BE SO AWESOME? I mean, it has Mindy and Apollo being gay and sweet and ass-kicking, of course. But it also has Jenny Sparks, who manages to be a bad-ass awesome comics girl despite barely having any boobs and is just generally snarky and shouty and chain-smoking and so made of WIN. And Jack Hawksmoor, king of cities guy, who I possibly have a weird inexplicable crush on? (HE'S HOT OKAY) And the Engineer and the fucked-up Doctor guy and the girl with the wings...And the art is gorgeous (APOLLO IS STILL PRETTY YAY) and the writing is great and really /funny/ which I love ("Hello." "Welcome to Los Angelos." "We're here to hit you.").
It makes me kind of sad. I'm still on the Warren Ellis stuff, and from everything I've heard, the comic isn't nearly as good once he goes off it. Woe. But for now, AWESOME COMIC IS AWESOME.
ETA: Grrrrr the Quitely art on the Mark Millar run is so fucking ugly. Everyone's so beefy and huge, it's just gross. GAH, DO NOT WANT. GIVE ME BACK PRETTY APOLLO AND GANGLY JACK! It's especially annoying because there's a great Mindy/Apollo scene that would be totally moving if it weren't for the fact that I want to stab my eyes out so I don't have to look at the horrible horrible art.
Also, Millar: your Avengers pastiche is the exact opposite of subtle. You get no love from me for that. Especially not for rape-happy Captain America clone. You get a few points back for the scene between Midnighter and Iron Man clone, though. |

Very random, but I think I'm losing weight again.
I did a little clothes shopping today, and I have to admit I didn't try much on, because I know my sizes. So, just now, when I put on a pair of new pajama pants...I think they're about a size too big.
For pajams, this is fine--I like looser pajama pants (so these might be 2 sizes too big), but for regulat pants...I'm actually going to have to try on the couple pairs I got, now, and see about returning if I have to. The top I got still fits fine, so apparantly I'm just losing weight from the waist down. I'd like to lose it on the upper half too, please. Except for my chest. That can stay its current cup size (which I need to confirm. I really need to get professionally measured for a bra, becuase I suspect that I'm not quite buying the right size).
Still. Not too bad, really. |

| Why do these things happen to ME? |
[Jul. 18th, 2008|11:30 pm] |
So. I have been home all day, baby-sitting contractors. This has given me some time in which to read.
So I got a brilliant idea: I'll read murder mysteries from the '20s. Hands-on research! Look, dialogue! Settings! Etc.!
I got as far as Mysterious Affair at Styles.
I can't go on.
Because I need Poirot/Hastings slash. NEED IT, I tell you.
I put the David Suchet series on Netflix. |

So Telltale Games are giving away a free download of the first episode of Sam & Max: Season 2 (Ice Station Santa) for everyone who signs up to their newsletter. Although I never downloaded the free episode of Season 1 because it was too big, this time I caved and downloaded Ice Station Santa. It was awesome, and I didn't get too stuck. There were a couple of times I had to turn the hints up because I wasn't sure how to solve the next puzzle, and I checked the walkthrough once to see if I was on the wrong track, which I was, but mostly I figured it all out on my own.
If I keep playing the games, I'll get obsessed with them. I'm not guessing, I know. I've had enough obsessions to be able to recognise how a new one coming on. But I only just got back into Futurama, so I think I'll wait for a while before I give Telltale my money. At least until the next Futurama movie comes out in Australia.
Speaking of Futurama, I think I have a slight problem. MSPaint + a DVD = pure genius! I don't know why Fry is there so many times either. |

If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal. |

YEEEAAAH
Okay so it's a 27-minute video from Al Gore, but if you have it running in the background you can hear all the good parts. Namely, "Today I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years." Along with, gasp, plausible suggestions on what to focus on.
Spread it around. It's all over the Interbutts but it should be MORE all over the Interbutts.
Another video source and more info, including signing up for a mailing list.
Whee!
Seriously though I was playing a bunch of websudoku games while listening and I kept grinning and going "YEAAAAH" really loudly, whenever he made a good point. Which happened fairly often. Rawk. |

OMG WORK LAST NIGHT WAS A THREE-RING CIRCUS. Complete with clowns.
That would be because I worked concessions for the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight. And by worked concessions I mean that I worked an entire side pretty much entirely on my own (Jacob and John helped out a little, but never more than 2 minutes or so) - serving from two tubs of regular popcorn, doing kettle corn, running the big popper (we were running out really quick so we had to run it continuously all night, and the popcorn burns if you leave it in more than 30 seconds after it starts beeping), taking extra popcorn orders from the cafe, directing people to drinks/other foodstuffs/cashiers/etc, getting lids/cups/pickles/drinks/making pizzas, and sweeping - when we had /2000/ people coming in /just/ for Batman. It was fucking insane. But all the cosplayers were kind of awesome.
I resisted the temptation to tell dick manager to go fuck himself, but it was a close thing. And now I NEVER have to go back, except as a movie goer. Which I will be doing next weekend when I go to see DK. |
