Permalink Spent a chunk of yesterday unhooking my compter, pulling it off, and out of, my desk, moving the desk down about a foot and a half, and then putting everything back on and hooking it back up. All so that I could actually sit at my desk without risking damage to my lovely new bed. It sucked, and I really really hate Poofu a lot now.
As opposed to the vague, low-level disgust I used to have because he was just old and slower than molasses in January.
There’s some vague mutterings of an HP slimline for Christmas, which fills me with both sad longing and a hot, guilty nausea.
So, basically, my normal reaction to getting gifts.
Permalink I need to see if there’s any places around here that sell Bluebell ice cream, because sweet jeez, the August New Flavor of the Month sounds really, really good. And I’m not just saying that because I’ve been obsessed with strawberry shortcake this summer. Except for the part where I probably am.
The DVD/VCR for the living room is supposed to arrive tomorrow. It’ll be nice not having to huddle in the cold, cold basement to watch DVDs. I’ll probably huddle in the cold, cold basement to watch them, anyway. I’m kind of dumb like that.
I saw an ad for the new FF7 game. I may have come in my pants. And then I definitely cursed, because this kitty does not have a PS2, and isn’t likely to anytime before the invention of the PS4, I’d say. I guess I’ll just have to kidnap the beloved and her PS2. And actually, the sounds like a really great plan to me.
Permalink I have a craving for cheese curls. Which is very odd, because I haven’t had them in so long that I don’t think I really remember what they taste like, and rarely had them even before that. Still. Want.
I redeemed some of my Coke points for an eCoupon towards a DVD/VCR for my mom. Part of me is slightly bummed, because it took the majority of my points, and I had to drink a lot of soda for that, yo. But they’ve been out of the (attainable) things that I wanted for myself for some time, and really, I offered. Its my own fault that she said yes, y’know? Its kind of nice, tho, actually getting her something for once. Or, helping to get, really. But hey, $70 off is nothing to sneeze at, at least in my broke little world.
I miss Glory. I miss Amelia. I miss Sunny. I miss Doogie.
Permalink Kasumi’s been doing this weird thing lately, where one thing’ll act up enough to worry me one day, and then be fine the next time I try to use it. I’m very happy that nothing appears to be permanently wrong, or anything, its just a bit disconcerting.
I’ve started watching Veronica Mars. I like it so far, and I have some hopes for eventual Weevil/Veronica, but I’ll settle for a further look into the Weevil/Lilly hints. And while Mrs. Kane certainly loves her son a bit too much, I can’t help but think that Mr. Kane felt the same way about Lilly…and then took it that extra step.
Its funny, I’ve read a little about VM before — I think Cleolinda used to recap it, I’ll have to see if I have any in my LJ memories — and I always pictured Lilly as a brunette. More of a Rose McGowan type, y’know? So having her turn out to be Karen from “Mean Girls” is a little odd. Good odd, tho, she totally nails it, I can’t picture anybody else in the role now.
And yet, I can’t stop picturing the character with dark hair. Hm.
Permalink DUDE. The finale to Cleopatra 2525 is like…weh? Hello, mindfuck, how are you, wasn’t expecting to see you here.
Honestly, I was expecting, like, “the girls finally meet Voice, Hel orgasms on spot.” What do I get? “Voice is actually kind of evil, while Creegan is in fact just pessimistic and C-R-A-Z-Y.” I. This is not what I signed on for. This is supposed to be my cheesy, sci-fi action bubblegum show. This is not Neon Genesis Evangelion, for fuck’s sake.
And what the hell is with suddenly tossing around that Creegan is not actually human? But..is, but he’s really really not? And they don’t actually explain what he is, just give it a name, and act like the whole show has been about it? Which…no. No, it has not. Writers, please, may we get some?
Although, I do love that the Baileys are not actually aliens and never were and Creegan is apparently the only person alive who actually KNEW. And named for his real name? Fabulous. He is exactly the type to do that. Except. If his revelations in the final episode were actually to be believed…then none of the Creegan/Voice history they kept giving signs of during the rest of the series makes any sense at all.
I. I need to just kidnap the Raimi brothers and have them explain it to me.
Permalink Oh, dude. The German cover for Dead Witch Walking rocks hardcore. Although, according to Babelfish, their title translates to “blood-purely,” so I guess it evens out.
I’m trying very hard to resist the links to purchase signed copies of her books. But! Signed! And they take Paypal! And! And! ….dammit.
*sighs* So anyway, my head hurts and my lunch/breakfast blew and our main TV died the other day when the power went out and my mother got a tick on her leg from going out to feed the birds.
But, on the bright side, the results show of SYTYCD is on tonight, and I’m reasonably sure my favorites are safe, AND! Most importantly, its my Sunny Girl’s birthday. And she is loved. ^_^
Permalink I am so lame. I have a chiropractor’s appointment this afternoon, but it so hot and I’m tired and I don’t want to go. I need to, though, its been over a month, and I keep tensing up, like I’ll just suddenly notice that my shoulders are coming up and my jaw is clenching. I have no idea why its happening, but it makes me think getting my neck cracked today would be a Very Good Idea.
Except. Its hot and I’m tired and I don’t want to goooooooooo. *sighs* Stupid self.
Permalink I wish rename tokens for LJ were cheaper. I’d really like to rename my RP journal, and renaming is just the start of what I want to do for heaven_fic, but that’s gonna be $30. There’s all sorts of things I could spend $30 on.
If I had it, anyway.
Maids are coming today. Tomorrow. At some point when it is again light, alright? This is despite the fact that my mother declared weeks ago that she was fed up with them and didn’t care if she got reimbursed for her shower door or not, she was cancelling the Maids. This will be their second visit since this declaration. And then she wonders why I never believe anything she says.
Permalink Kasumi’s mouse is acting wonky. If it was like Poofu’s, I’d just take it apart and clean it out, but unfortunately the stupid laptop mouse is all one piece. No screws anywhere, even the release catch for the battery compartment is stealthed.
*sighs* I really don’t want to have to buy a new one. I’m broke enough as it is.
Permalink Had a bad headache last night. Even Excedrin Migraine didn’t help; ended up taking Motrin on top of it and going to bed early with an ice-pack. Not feeling great this morning, either, but better than I was.
I really like Dove’s cleansing facial cloths. I have decent skin mostly, but in the last year or so I’ve developed a dry, rough patch on one cheek. The cloths make it all smooth and soft, and its totally worth that odd smell all Dove products seem to have.
Its getting pretty bright out, so I think I will descend into the cooldark known as the basement. Maybe put another ice pack on my neck and see if I can stand to play some Symphonia.
Alrighty. Sounds like a plan.
