time and relative dimension in space

AWESOME THINGS:

- I have Internet back! WOO! And LJ is also back! Also woo! Stop leaving me, Internet access and LJ! I have dependencies!

- I now own a full-length black duster. We will not discuss the fact that it is early August, regularly reaching over 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, and also southern Virginia. The point is that I now own a full-length black duster and this makes me happy even if I can't wear it for a few more months. (It was $15 at a CHKD thrift store. I can't resist that, okay.)

- New Doctor Who trailer! It is almost the same as the ComiCon trailer but not exactly and those not exactly bits are EXCITING and AWESOME. PTERODACTYLS, MAN.

- I received a $25 B&N gift card from my Secret Santa for my place of employment's Christmas In August thing. NEW BOOKS! Now I just have to find time and a bus route to get to a Barnes & Noble!

- *meaningless flail*

I kind of want to make a fanvid set to a Volapük track, but since the only idea I have is 'huh, it would be kind of cool to make a fanvid set to a Volapük track' and not, you know, a story idea or a concept or even a fandom, it probably won't happen.

It would be kind of cool, though.



I need a project I can focus on for a while. Are there any interesting thirty-day memes going around?

A list of unrelated awesome things:

♦ Being Human has been picked up for a fourth series! I don't know what's going to happen but I am so excited I can't even you guys. I can't even. Also, curse you Peter Jackson and your casting decisions. CURSE YOU.

♦ I have a new mouse! This is probably not exciting to other people, but my old mouse was driving me crazy; it would double-click when I wanted to single-click, or sometimes it wouldn't single-click at all, and I gave up successfully drag-and-dropping some time ago because it just wouldn't. But my new mouse does all that on the first try and it's so nice to have a working mouse again! Also it is wireless. I've never had a wireless mouse before. It's nifty.

♦ Today's mail brought me a shipment of two Sandman volumes (specifically, A Game Of You and Fables And Reflections). OMG YAY. My dead-tree Sandman collection is coming along nicely. ;) Amazon gift cards were the best invention ever.

♦ Speaking of Sandman (I know, I said it was a list of unrelated things), BUT ANYWAY, Sandman crossovers started eating my brain awhile ago, and in my various quests to actually write one of them I have stumbled upon a Sandman/Andromeda crossover that actually seems to be working. OMG YAY. I miss finishing fic. ...of course, now that I've said that, I won't be able to finish it. Or I'll finish it and discover it sucks and vow never to let anyone else see it. But right now I'm quite liking it.

♦ Animorphs: The Radio Drama (Uncensored!) has gotten their site back up (and redesigned!) and added a couple old shows. Old to them, new to me, I mean. ILU, ARDU guys! You make me smile. :D

♦ Miss nikiness has returned to LiveJournal fandom! Admittedly it's Supernatural fandom which I am not in, but I'm just bouncy and glad that she's returning to LJ at all. YAY. :D

♦ I'm looking in to renting a local hotel room for a night. If I can manage it, that would be ~24 hours I could have totally to myself and omg it would be so welcome. The problem is finances, as the problem so frequently is, but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to manage it.

♦ Kagerou, which everyone should be reading if they are not already, has just started a new plot arc that looks like it's going to be, frankly, AMAZING. And game-changing. And awesome.

♦ I switched the e-mail associated with this account to my GMail address, so now I'm getting my LJ notifs again. I hate not getting notifications in a timely manner.

What little, probably-insignificant-to-most-everyone-else stuff going on in your life do you think is awesome? SHARE THE AWESOME.

So I finally gave up on Sony Vegas because it was just ridiculously frustrating and confusing for me. But I miss vidding, so I was determined to find a replacement program.

Mission accomplished! I just finished my first vid with Corel VideoStudio, and while it is not something I would show to other people, being a fairly ridiculous and not very well-made thing, it is a vid and I enjoyed using the program and yay maybe now I can get back to serious vidding, woo.

Decided to start on my Christmas shopping.

Discovered that the CD I was planning (for months, for months I've been planning on this) to give to my little brother never got a physical release, and since he has a weird aversion to buying music in digital format (he says he doesn't feel like he owns it unless there's a physical CD physically in his hands), there wouldn't be much point in buying the MP3s for him.

Now have no idea what to get him.

Why must my family be so difficult to shop for?

Ugh, Broadway, why do I love you when every year you find a new way to break my heart? Stop breaking my heart, Broadway. Stop it.


Went to the dentist this morning to have some oral pain checked out. Verdict: signs are hazy, ask again later. May be a damaged nerve needing a root canal but tests to determine which nerve were inconclusive. May be the next tooth to need filling acting up. May be a sinus infection. Call back if it gets worse; otherwise, nothing can be done right now.

I love when my body rebels in such a vague way no one can figure out what the hell's going on.


In Sandman news, I've finished through Worlds' End and am about to start The Kindly Ones. I don't want to get to the end, then it will be over and I'll be sad. :|
