has I been a twit today?

o hai, dis haz bn LoudTwitter

So Kristin and I just finished Traveler. It started off really, really good, and then it got better, and then THAT WAS THE WORST ENDING EVER. GODDAMMIT.

It wasn't as good as Kidnapped, but it was pretty exciting and I liked it. UNTIL THE END. WTF. Eight episodes wasn't long enough to do right by the story, and NOTHING AT ALL GOT RESOLVED.

Fuck, that makes me mad!


Anyway.... I am going to catch up on my week in the life tomorrow, I've been taking pictures, I'm just too tired to do all the editing and uploading and crap right now. Also tomorrow: bloodwork. Wheee. -_-

Cloudy days are the anti-productivity. Huddling under blankets and halfheartedly reorganizing the contents of my hard drive, not exactly a stellar use of the day, but I feel icky and a tad bit morose, so.

I should call my brother and see if he can get some of my stuff to move, but I don't want to bother him. And I feel like I am a bother to everyone, so. More packing, eventually, quietly, until my mediocrity finds a base of operations further removed from the heart of this lab-rat-sized city.

I need sunshine. And a sense of worth. And a haircut.

owwwwww my elbows.

My stupid right arm was not productive for blood, so they poked me in my left arm too. So now both my arms feel like wet noodles. D: Ow.

Back when I was little I used to get french fries whenever I got stuck with a needle. Now, I get to go hide in bed and try and warm up. Why is it so damn freezing out? And why did I forget to bring my camera with me? Oh well.

ow.

I just finished watching Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus.

Weeeeeird, weird movie, but it got a claw or three into me and scratched up near my heart. The colors and the framing and the wardrobe were brilliant, and the whole dynamic between Diane and Allan vs Diane and Lionel was really intriguing. All I could think was "lol live action Beauty and the Beast!" in a few places.

Anyway. I liked it.


I walked down to the river and sat their for a little while, before. Forgot my camera again. Honestly, I should just scrap the week in the life, because absolutely nothing interesting has happened, pictorially or otherwise. Unless anyone actually wants me to continue, I think I'll just call it quits.

But. The river, right. I watched ducks chase each other, sat with my feet right above the too-high water and swatted gnats out of my face. There were two boys over a bit, on a bench, and the water distorted whatever they were saying into a tenor-bass murmur. And when I walked away from the river, I found where I need to leave my mark. I just have to figure out what it's going to say.

And there's my problem. I don't know what I have to say.

The brotherling dropped by, traded off his laptop ("plz fix") for some boxes and bookshelves. Apparently Emily is being a bitch and not moving her stuff out in a timely fashion, so he's going to stash my stuff in his bedroom until she's gone. I forgot to ask him how many (if any) windows that room has. Potential repurposing of curtains as pillowcases/hats/whathaveyou, I am considering.

Anyway. Before I dive into the morass that is my brother's computer, some links.

The Sci-Fi Channel, not so much with the accurate name. Personally, I enjoy a lot of their original programming, but yeah, I can see how it's not sci-fi as such. That's okay, I would still watch it if they called it something else (although "The Imagination Channel" sounds like a Nick Jr. buddy line, not someplace to get your fix of aliens).

Everyone I know is all "lkjdhf" about Joss Whedon's Dollhouse series. I haven't heard anything about it, mostly because I... haven't gone out and looked it up? But! Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, that is his current thing that has me keyboard-mashing. Neil Patrick Harris as the titular villain, Nathan Filion as the good guy, it's a MUSICAL, sign me up! He says it's almost done, and I am SO ready to see it. Yesplz.

Fill out the Census, win a free latte? It's kind of sad that people would have to be bribed to fill out the friggin' census, but hey, there's your 'civic duty' for ya. And there's no charismatic leader to encourage... I don't know, census-filling-out-parties or grassroots campaigning to honestly reveal your household info.

I'm sorry, I thought being pregnant was supposed to exempt you from gardening chores. It's kind of ridiculously cute to see the dad with a baby-bump getting his lawn done, though.

George Takei is getting married to his partner of 21 years. N'awwww!

JJ ABRAMS, GO TO YOUR ROOM AND DO NOT COME OUT. He shaved the Romulans! YOU CAN'T SHAVE ROMULANS. Honestly, that's just, no. Undignified. Romulans should have hair, and it should look like Vulcan hair except maybe less stylishly cut. First casting Keith Urban as my beloved Bones, now shaving the Romulans... my hopes, they are not incredibly high.

Speaking of movies and mutilating canon, Indiana Jones 5: Son of the Jones is a possibility. I won't make a statement one way or another until I actually see Crystal Skull, but I will say this: will someone bend George Lucas over and paddle him? He's like a kid who can't give up. One more scoop of ice cream! One more bedtime story! One more hack job on a series loved by bazillions until loyal fans turn into frothing lunatics! (....but I will never say no to some Shia-starring-role action.)

Geek Kama Sutra. I think I saw Lacy pulling a few of these moves on Arthur yesterday, actually. Hot.

It's an asshole made of chocolate. Nothing else I can say about it. No, wait, I take that back: if you go to the retailer's site, you can order a solid silver anus. Why would anyone want a solid solver anus? It'd make a good paperweight for those who plow through a buttload of forms a day, I suppose.

Stephen Colbert, the second most powerful idiot in America. Everyone loves the Colbert, even seven year olds who have him as a Sunday School teacher. Hell, I'd go back to Sunday school to learn from him. xD

If we impeached Clinton for lying about catching a blowjob in the White House, why aren't we prosecuting Bush for the 4000+ soldiers killed in the war he lied to start? Yeah, I've been asking myself that question a lot, but it's nice to see someone respectable bring it up.

Pop charts, top 100s, and one-hit wonders. Fun fact: the longest-lasting one-hit wonder to hit #1 is Bad Day, by Daniel Powter, which I can rock the face off of on SingStar, but Kristin's even better at it. And the longest one to make it on the charts and stay, without hitting #1, is Barely Breathing by Duncan Shiek, which I loved in 1997 and still love today. xD

The ten most badass geeks of film and TV. Damn right, is what I have to say to almost all of these. I'm only saddened by the complete lack of women in the list. Girls can be kickass geeks too. What about Willow Rosenberg? She makes my list. Oh hell yes. I would, however, replace Neo with Indiana Jones, because.... fuck Neo. xD Also, Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne, both geeks, both badass, both of film. But they'd have to share a spot, and kick that #10 off the list.

The electric cigarette. Well, that's one way to get your nic fix. xD

Donne Darko, deconstructed. I'm still reading this-- it's sort of long-- but interesting! I want to watch the movie again, but I have other things on the to-watch list, so it'll take me a while. Probably a couple of months, knowing me. >>

Wow, it took me three hours to make this post. *facepalm*
