→ The Live At The Greek Theatre DVD is awesome, omg, no lie, trufax. It may have bumped them up the list of "bands I want to see live in concert", and they were already pretty high up there.

→ Today I made brownies. Which are currently cooking.

→ I was going to do laundry, but the washer does not appear to be working.

→ I also worked some more on that asexual!Kevin story I was talking about. I have it mostly written but I can't figure out an ending. Also I don't know if what I already have sucks or not. I keep going back and forth on how I feel about it. I'm not a good impartial judge. But mostly I just really want to find an ending.

→ → ...Regardless of if it sucks or not, regardless of if I finish it or not, I'm glad I've attempted it because it made me go back and rewatch TBD and that reminded me of just how much I love the show and all its characters. <3 ...I am still Not Okay with its cancellation. *sulks*

→ → But you know what the last fic I posted online was? 'sail fair to the far fields of fortune'. Which was almost a year ago. Seriously. I need to finish a fic and post it for my own sanity.

→ ...I'm so behind on Being Human. :/ I need to just sit down and watch the past few episodes. I want to watch them all in one sitting, though, which means I will need more time than I currently possess the ability to set aside. Maybe tomorrow when I am recovering from the trauma of seeing a dentist.

→ Speaking of which, tomorrow I go back to the dentist. Maybe this time they will actually do something to my teeth to justify the huge amounts of money they are charging me. Fingers crossed.

→ Oh, oh! Also, tomorrow is LOST. Maybe that and BH will balance out the huge amount of haaaaaaate and trauma that medical professionals tend to inspire in me.

→ This entry is so disjointed.

Scroll partway down this entry for an adorable story of when Randall Munroe met Neil Gaiman, but not the reverse. Awww.

Also linked to in that entry is this edit of the recent heartbreaking xkcd comic about the Mars rover Spirit. The edited version is a lot less depressing.


...In non-Randall-Munroe-related stuff, have links to some YouTube videos I am currently enjoying!

Oceanic 815 - Side By Side, a comparison of the original crash of Oceanic 815 and the S6 altverse.

"Falling Slowly" Jennifer Damiano & Adam Chanler-Berat, er, what it says on the tin.

Endway - It's My Life - Live at Tainted Blue Studios, in which a band I love records a song I love.

A Goofy Movie - Stand Out (Max Version), why yes I am a total loser dork :D

Muppet Babies: I'll Be Blue For You song, Gonzo sings about Camilla, awww.


ETA: Now with new Side By Side With Susan Blackwell! With bonus Lin-Manuel Miranda! The awesomeness. It is almost too much.

* I finally managed to sit down and watch Being Human yesterday. ♥ What an awesome and epic episode. And I loved it and I had things to say about it and this is why I should do reaction posts immediately after watching because I forget stuff. BUT brief capslocky thoughts ) So yeah, epic and awesome and ohhh.

* So I was poking around Lost-Media's photo gallery, as you do, and stumbled upon this S4 promo picture which I had never seen before which is clearly a grievous error on my part because I love it. Is there a higher-res version anywhere, does anyone know? LM doesn't usually fail me on high-res promo pics but they're letting me down now.

* I need to actually do stuff so that I can have stuff to talk about here. *sadface*

Today:

- Our bathroom sinks have finally reached the point of being fixed. There are gaping holes in our kitchen ceiling, but the sinks work, so.
- I played a lot of Russian Solitaire. And lost a lot of Russian Solitaire. Russian Solitaire is hard, yo.
- I saw my Niki!!!! This is obv the most important item on this list. She brought her boy with her and we went to Muddy Waters and then to Bojangles and her boy got somewhat lost on the trip between "coffeehouse" and "food". And she gave me stuff which to make awesome cupcakes with and I gave her fudge and this shower curtain. Yay belated Christmas gifts!
...I miss my Niki. She needs to come see me more often. *hints loudly*

Anyway. Links Of Awesome spam!

This may be my new favorite website, although that might just be because I've spent the past forty-eight hours or so binging on the archives. Favorite Urban Pranks include The Future Shock (here told by the victim), Mark Jenkins' entire body of street installations but particularly The Last Graffiti Artist, Improv Everywhere's Welcome Back project, and the Boston Society Of Spontaneity's Riding the T is a beach. But basically I love most if not all of the posted pranks and art installations.

Me, joking around about not bringing on lights for the pianist: "She'll have plenty of real light, just no fake light. Uh."
The sound designer: "What?"
Me: "It's all real light. None of it is fake. I mean she'll have plenty of natural light, just no...stage light."
SD: "Right. No artificial light."
Me: "Right! Artificial light. Manmade. Except not like fire."
A confused pause.
Me: "Well, like fire, yeah. Only...not."
Another pause.
Me: "My metaphors always get away from me."
SD: "No, I understood you. Stage lights, they're like fire, only not at all like fire."

I am so awkward omg.

But anyway. job stuff yo )


OKAY NON-WORK-RELATED STUFF FOLLOWS 'cause I left work early today and 'cause I've been kind of a shitty LJ friend recently.


This is going to be my only comment on the current warnings debate (hopefully) 'cause I've been reading the metafandom posts and getting pissed off by both sides:

the warnings debate! )

SO.

To-do list for work tomorrow:
-Figure out how to cable the third electric
-Patch everything
-Inventory gel supply so I can order color

THAT IS A VERY SHORT LIST.

Today we got the third electric in the air again (with the most ridiculously ghetto counterweight system omg), cabled the sidepipes, replaced dead lamps, and got everything focused. Well, everything that can be focused at this point, without a certain number of gobos and also without scenery. BUT IT'S BASICALLY DONE EVEN IF I STAYED LIKE FOUR AND A HALF HOURS LATE TO GET IT DONE. OMG. FASTEST FOCUS EVER. LESS THAN A DAY.

And if I get those three things done tomorrow and get my color and template orders in maybe I can like stop moving for ten minutes and actually have a chance to, like...breathe.

I LOVE MY JOB RIGHT NOW.

I'M SO WIRED RIGHT NOW YOU GUYS.


Unrelated: has anyone seen the movie Piñata: Survival Island? Because I had it described to me last night and it sounds like it might just be the best movie ever. You guys. It's a horror movie about a possessed piñata. A possessed piñata. You guys.


Unrelated: I have the two most recent episodes of Kings in my possession! Which I will watch! When I have more than twenty minutes to myself in a row!

Spent a good chunk of the day lying on the couch cringing from headache pain. Bah. Finally my mom came home with Excedrin and I took it (and if you know anything of my aversion to medication you should realize how much pain I was in) and eventually the headache broke up and I feel better now.

As I mentioned on Twitter, the kid brother is home for the summer now. He spent most of today complaining about not having a job, and then complaining about the TV remote not working. (And then complaining about BOTH AT ONCE.) I am sad to no longer have the house to myself all day during the week.

I may have figured out an answer to the Conor/Tess subplot conundrum. Now I just have to figure out how Conor comes to own a restaurant.

The Tony reactions at [livejournal.com profile] broadwaysecrets this week are hilarious, OMG. But I'd totally kill to see Hunter, Jeff, Susan, and Heidi host the awards, ngl, that would be awesome.

Dollhouse season finale starts momentarily!

> Today we cleaned house. Sort of. Ish. My mom cleaned out her room and I cleaned out the living room and made a dent in the mess that is my room. I even threw some stuff away, be proud of me. Also I reorganized my library and discovered that I can no longer find my copies of So You Want To Be A Wizard and Men At Arms, and am going a little bit crazy trying to track them down again.

> I watched The Aztecs on DVD while cleaning. ILU, Barbara Wright. Marry me, pls?

> I want this shirt.

> I also want new ARD:U. UPDATE THE SITE NAO PLS GAIZ?

> What's the lolcat spelling of guys? I think I do it a different way every time, which probably isn't right.

> As of today I own Turn Coat! I'm very excited, people have told me that it's a major game-changer, and something about Thomas, idk. But I bet it'll be an awesome read. Yay Dresden Files!

> The Tony noms are going to be announced May 5th! *flail* Do want to know. [tos] better be nominated for some awards, I'm just sayin'. Also Lin-Manuel will be one of the people announcing the nominations, so that's just plain awesome.

>I always have things to say listed in my head and then I sit down and make these lists and forget half of them. Sorry?

- I swear I am still working through the alphabet prompts.

- So, Prince Jack is in Chicago and has met two people so far. Well, a girl and a cat. I'm very excited about this, I hope it goes well. For me, not necessarily for him.

- Also, my flist has been inundated by April Fools pranks. LJ's [livejournal.com profile] news prank was lame. [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes had a decent one. I enjoyed [livejournal.com profile] bwaydaily's Tony Award For Perfect Attendance article, that was funny.

- Also also, Tom Guiry is going to be on Kings! That makes two Donnelly brothers showing up so far. If we can get Billy Lush and Jonathan Tucker on as well, it's practically a reunion. Not really. Okay, I just really want Billy Lush to show up on this show. If Keith Nobbs wants to show up, too, I won't complain.

- LOST tonight!

The Essential Animated Movie List
You had a VCR as a kid, right? Mark off each movie you can remember watching. Then pass the list around like a pilfered can of Budweiser at a high school party.

the list )

Some of those I don't remember anything about past knowing that I once watched them. Some of them I remember incredibly fondly. Some of them I've watched in the past two weeks.

The Muppet Show is coming to comic books! It actually looks really cool from the preview. They get the basic feel of the characters down. Especially Statler and Waldorf. You can practically hear them.

We Haven't Got There Yet by Harry Turtledove. A short story in which Shakespeare watches a performance of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Really lovely, well-written, feels right on so many levels. Says the fangirl.

Virtual Poohsticks. There is no further explanation. There is no need of further explanation. Virtual Poohsticks.

Remember me talking about the Drunken Idiots at the concert on Friday? Apparently two of 'em got arrested for being drunk idiots. Ahaha. *is inordinately amused*

I have like half an hour left of the first installment of "The Reaction" (and I am enjoying how Kyle keeps calling in to make fun of the new guy) and then I will have listened to all the ARD:U episodes currently available from their website. *sadface* I think while I'm waiting for them to update the website I might go back and relisten to everything to collect quotes. I already have a .txt file full of ARD:U quotes but I know I missed some good ones, including stuff I was like "GOOD QUOTE" but wasn't anywhere I could write it down.

  • I made fudge! It's currently cooling on the counter. I'm looking forward to it.


  • Today's mail brought the concert tickets! *celebrates* This Friday, the House of Blues, kids. Shane fuckin' MacGowan.


  • ...sometimes I feel bad about how much I fangirl Shane without stopping to note that, yes, I am a fan of the band as a whole, and, no, Shane-minus-the-Pogues wouldn't be quite as awesome. So take this as a note that when I fangirl Shane, fangirling the rest of the band is implied to be part of it. ...but I really am a huge fan of Shane himself.


  • On a different note, vidders on my flist, could you offer any help? I've been trying to render a vid in Windows Movie Maker (yes, yes, I know) for about three days now. Every time, the actual rendering seems to go fine -- it'll hang for a couple seconds, then continue on -- but when I play the video the image will freeze at a certain point. The audio will continue on fine, but the picture will be frozen -- and it's at a different point each time I try rendering. I have no idea what's going on. Any advice?


  • [livejournal.com profile] metafandom is covering RaceFail09. I wish I had something enlightening to say here, or a good way of summing up the whole thing, but I don't and I can't. So I'm just gonna say that there's a lot of intelligent, eloquent people saying a lot of things that a lot of people -- me included -- ought to listen to. Also, there's a lot of fail in fandom. Well, in the world in general, but I like to think fandom slants towards more intelligent, accepting people, and it's always sad when that belief is proved wrong.


  • This is another one of those "I'm sure I had other things to talk about but I don't remember what they were" bullet points. Sorry.
