TELL ME AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOURSELF

AND I WILL REPLY WITH AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT MYSELF THAT I THINK OF WHEN I READ YOURS. IT MAY BE ENTIRELY RELATED, OR ONLY RELATED IN THE WEIRDEST, BROADEST DEFINITIONS.

BUT DO IT.

Does anyone use Chrome? Is it worth trying it out?

I'm attached to my Firefox but it's suddenly started leaking memory for no reason (I went through and checked all my plugins and add-ons and everything and nothing accounts for the memory leak) so it may be time to try out a new browser. Any recommendations?

Changing browsers is scary! :|

So I kind of fail at LJ. I'm sorry! Work keeps changing my schedule around to make sure I have as little free time on as minimal notice as possible.

Things of note:
- I have acquired new Torchwood, which I plan to watch tonight after I call my parents and reassure them as well that I am not in fact dead. I am not at all sure how I feel about it. I miss Tosh. Is it going to make me miss Tosh more? :/
- I have also acquired (finally) new Flogging Molly, which I am very excited to listen to once I get the chance. I want to listen to the whole album in one straight shot, since it's reportedly a concept album that all ties together? But I'll probably wind up having to break it down into smaller chunks to fit into my schedule. Boo.
- I have been challenged to write Harper meta for andromeda_fans! I am debating topics now from among the list of rambling Harper-related topics that meander through my head regularly. It will probably wind up being about either Harper's relationship to 21st century America or Harper's role in the series as the Fool. I'm not sure yet.
- I think I've decided that I'm going to buy an Asus Eee netbook as my next major purchase, although I'm not sure when that will be. One of the guys I work with has one and I've kind of fallen in love with it. It's so little and portable and durable! And then I would be able to, like, write on buses and in restaurants and whatever.

In conclusion: HI LJ I MISSED YOU ♥

Question of the day: I know several people on my flist have AO3 accounts, so tell me, do you think it'd be worth it for me to sign up to get one?

I have been posting fic exclusively to LJ for so long that it seems weird to be considering joining an archive of this sort.

In other news, there is no other news. Sorry.

So, thanks to riviyan_questa who is the AWESOMEST AWESOME TO EVER AWESOME (and yeah I know awesomest ain't a word), I am now the proud owner of this t-shirt and it is ADORABLE and AWESOME and many other wonderful words starting with A.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Today I made double-chocolate cookies and also finished getting caught up on Merlin. +1 to me, huh?! Now I need to decide which show on my List To Watch to tackle next.

---

If you are remotely a Doctor Who fan this is a video you need to watch. I mean it! *flails over the adorable*

---

In other news, I'm not doing wishlists this year 'cause I'm a terrible person there's not a whole lot I can offer right now. Certainly I have learned not to promise fics to people. *eyes folder of half-finished giftfics guiltily*

However! I am offering icons, as that is a holiday promise I am reasonably sure I can follow through on.

If you would like me to make you icons, leave a comment with your preferred subject -- as general or as specific as you want it to be -- and I will make you some. If I'm not familiar with the subject, I may ask you for an image source or for clarification, but I promise, you will get icons.

So hey. Does anyone know of any good Sony Vegas tutorials? The only ones I can find are in video format, and that just...doesn't work for me.

YOU GUYS. allfireburns is like the most awesome person EVER.

OMG YAY.

*fills post with squee*

YOU GUYS IT SNOWED.

Like legit snow, like four inches, not like usual North Carolina ~snow. I know four inches is not objectively a lot, but this is coastal North Carolina.

My mom was supposed to fly up to New York today to visit the older sister for a week but her flight was postponed 'til tomorrow because of the snow.

So yeah.


Er, in other news...

- I am doubtful about the validity of the LOST 'leaked first four minutes of 5x01'. Mostly based on the fact that virtually none of it is new footage.

- I have unexpectedly scored a $15 iTunes gift card. I have so far spent ~$5 of it (I got Raul Esparza singing O Holy Night and I am attempting to rent The Great Muppet Caper because I am a geek but it's having some difficulty downloading). Any recommendations on what to spend the remaining $10 on?

- bwaydaily's general consensus on Corbin Bleu appears to be that he's surprisingly good as Usnavi. I am so curious about his performance, negl.

- There is webcomic wank at fandom_wank, omg. It's hilarious. But someone in the comments linked to Darths & Droids and I spent last night archive-binging. Tragic, really. I'm now caught up and subscribed to the RSS feed. Are there any other webcomics I should be reading but am not? Because I should really just get all the archive-binging out of the way at once.

OKAY.
agapi42, sio, kawaiispinel, allfireburns, theformofstars, your gifts should have arrived by now, delivered by LJ to however you get notifications.

oc_pixie, your gift is in your wishlist post.

riviyan_questa, your gift will be mailed off probably tomorrow; harbek, I need a shipping address from you before your gift can go out.

turquoisetumult and snarkaddict, I am still making decisions re: your wishlists, but you will get something. Promise.

nikiness, you don't get your gift, or your fudge, until you come see me.

If you have posted holiday wishes and your LJ name is not in the above list, drop me a link, I swear I didn't mean to overlook you!


On Tuesday we'll be leaving to drive, drive, drive, to upstate New York to spend some time (including Christmas) with the big sister. Shortly after that, it will be 2010. What the hell happened to 2009? Time needs to stop doing this, pls.
