( Another Twittery day was had... )

Yesterday's Tweets brought to you by the number 626, the letter S and LoudTwitter

( So It Begins )

edit: I have 115 userpics and only 83 uploaded. I have no excuse not to have an icon for everything I'm currently watching. Any suggestions on Alias icons? At this point I'm not that interested in making my own, by the by.

GUYS. I need your help!

I'm updating my profile, trying to declutter it a little as well as sorting out which posts to keep public and which to hide and I thought I'd update my flist testimonials.

The last time I updated these was back in...er... June 07. Basically, it's been awhile. If you wanna see the previous contributions click here. (I'm still loving frances_veritas's poem, heee.)

Basically the request is simple: please to be leaving me a short comment saying what you think about me. Could be sweet, could be horrible (if you wanted!), could be crack, could be made up, could be anything you want. I'll then update that post to reflect your comments.

MUCH APPRECIATED :D


ETA: Not at all related but I freakin' love Jim Beaver. He has how many friends on myspace and makes time to message me privately. How awesome!!

Over the next few days I'll be spring autumn cleaning my journal.  I'll probably mostly be getting rid of communities but I'll also be doing a mini Friends-Cut just of people who I barely know either through a lack of posting or commenting.  Don't be offended as I'm sure you're all lovely people it's just I like to keep my f'list rather personal and I like to feel like I know my LJ friends.

Now I'm off to bed as I feel like I'm coming down with a cold.  Ugh.  Not good timing.

I'm watching Extreme Home Makeover which is something you should never do if you're wearing makeup. Just FYI.

Went on another date with him and i'm still quite undecided which is so not helpful.

Oh show, just when it seems impossible to get better, you still do. ( We know a little something about something )

Oh, we watched WALL-E yesterday though. It was such a cute, funny movie! I never expected to like it so much, but aww! And we all laughed so much! I can only recommend it.

Back at the end of July, I was in Manchester doing Sister of the Bride duties for my cousin. Now, in our tradition, each side of the happy couple brings artfully wrapped parcels on the day as gifts for the other. So we were to bring parcels for the groom.

Being the arty type, designing and making of the parcels falls to me. I first did them for my SIL at my bro's wedding (my god, you have NO idea how long it took me to make all of those!) and since then it's been downhill. Any family member, or even friend's relatives, getting married sends their stuff to me to put together. For the most part, I enjoy it, until it comes to the cellophane part which I HATE cos it's so damn fiddly cos usually I'm working solo.

Long story short, I put together this parcel for my cousin in July and then forbid anyone, including her, from opening and eating the chocolates cos it took frikkin forever:



It didn't work of course, her and new hubby made short work of it. Pout.

That was the first time I had thought about doing that kind of parcel, and I had hoped it was the last. I do try not to repeat ideas because then it gets old, fast. But my neighbour in Manchester saw it and instantly adored it. It's her wedding next weekend, when I'll be in Northampton, and she asked me to make her a similar parcel. Seeing as my guit for missing her wedding is already HUGE I figured it was the least I could do!

( Here's this time's attempt. BTW these are the worst photos I have EVER taken and I'm almost too ashamed too post them. Erk. )

Now to cellophane it. Kill me now.

(BTW: I watched SPN while blu-taccing all of those down. I need to rewatch without being distracted before I can get with the thinky thoughts!)

( Grey's Anatomy )

( Life On Mars )

( The Office )

( Ugly Betty )

I am also watching Survivor and The Amazing Race, but I don't feel the need to blog about those. No one else I know watches those, actually. But seriously, outside of the shows listed above, I only watch Pushing Daisies religiously. ALL of my shows are on Thursday.

No. Fair.

Especially since I now close Thursdays.

I need to stop watching the news. It is getting down right depressing. My local broadcasters have seen fit to stop airing the BBC World News, so now I am just stuck with loud, "the sky is FALLING" news reporting from American cable outlets. Sure, the sky probably is falling, but it just sounds better delivered in a calm, steady British accent. I also hate that American news outlets are not covering the near finanical collapse of Iceland.

At this point, I think my idea to re-animate F.D.R. is probably not a bad one. Couldn't we just add it to the bailout package. Earmark a few billion to work on cloning F.D.R. Experts have said over and over that this comes down to a crisis of faith. The banks and credit markets have lost faith in institutions, companies and people. We need a leader to come out and reassure us that it will all be all right. Instead, we have Bush, a village idiot, telling it "it's bad, uhm, and we no idea what to do." I know that reading Roosevelt's fireside chats have made me feel better, better than any world leader has so far made me feel.

As usual, comedy is the only thing making me feel better. SNL's newest weekend update segment made me laugh. Ditto on The Daily Show. Jon is saving my sanity.

On the T.V. front, I watched Life on Mars last night and was surprised by how much it didn't suck. It made me really like Gretchen Mol. Surprising. It also made long for the Twin Towers. If this show does do well, I doubt it would have the balls to end it the way the original ended. On to medical dramas... Grey's Anatomy proved a few things. One, I never want to hear the words "poop water" in a hospital ever again. Two, Derek is a jerk. But I think we already knew number two.

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now,(even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with.

Thanks to jhaight.

If you want a healthy economy, buy products and buy stocks. The economy will fail if everyone sells their stocks all at once. By selling all of your stock right now, you might be saving yourself from a large loss in the short-term, but you are doing your part to kill the economoy in the long-term. If we plunge into a depression, it is because of everyone that sold their stock in response to this bailout. Thank you for fucking up the worth of my dollar, idiots.
