time and relative dimension in space

I kinda suck at social media lately, and I'm sorry. :/ I think I've officially failed at my New Year's resolution to post here more often, even absolving myself of that whole land-of-no-Internet period. I HAVE TO GET BETTER AT THIS.

Things that are going on:

- Today I am relistening to old episodes of Animorphs: The Radio Drama (Uncensored!) because there are no new episodes because I feel like it. It's been a while. I'd almost forgotten how much I love these guys. I now kind of want to listen to them read one of the books while I follow along and annotate an e-book copy with their comments, but on the other hand that sounds like a lot of work for someone as lazy as me.

- Yuletide nominations start soon, and I am, indeed, planning to participate in Yuletide for the second time and nominations for the first time; SUPER EXCITING. (I may also have failed my write-more-fic resolution for the year. I don't remember what the exact wording of it was. But it hasn't exactly been a banner year for productivity.)

- It's almost time for first-run TV shows to come back! According to the app I depend on to tell me these things, Sleepy Hollow premieres in a week, Castle comes back in two weeks, Elementary comes back three days later, Once Upon A Time returns three days after that, and then a bit later Once Upon A Time In Wonderland and Almost Human premiere. So. That should give me stuff to post about. (Fingers crossed for greatness. Three new shows is a lot for me to try picking up at once; hopefully at least one hooks me, although it would be super awesome if they all do.) (Other new shows I am vaguely planning to try: Star-Crossed on the CW, because Robert Hewitt Wolfe on staff, and Girl Meets Boy, because Boy Meets World sequel, but I don't know when either one of them premieres). I am also super excited about spoilers I've seen for Elementary and Once Upon A Time; haven't seen spoilers for Castle, but fingers crossed there, too.

- It's still almost two months until NaNoWriMo but I'm getting nervous about it already. I have the bare bones of an idea and slightly more development on the two main characters; I keep poking at it and mostly coming up with things that aren't going to be useful (if they ever are) until I'm well into Plot.

- I am super behind on the marathoning-old-shows-that-are-new-to-me project (specifically HIMYM at the moment); for various personal reasons I kind of just lost momentum and haven't gotten back to it. I need to do that. That was a New Year's resolution, too. I need to accomplish at least a few of these things.

- In personal news, I'm still unemployed but have resumed trying to learn how to drive. So. Maybe that will be helpful.

- I apologize for the length of this post.

'Cause I can never resist.

First, a few pimps:

A flashmob in celebration of Lin-Manuel Miranda! Seriously, even if you know nothing about In The Heights you should watch this just because Lin's glee and surprise is so adorable.

The Asexual!Comment-Fic Meme! I have not actually posted anything here yet BUT I WILL as soon as I think of something. There's a bunch of fandoms already being represented, it could always use more!

The first two installments of ARD:U's Season 5.555555! They're reading The Decision, and it's kind of amazing. ILU, ARDU guys.


Now, meme responses:

30 Days Of TV:

Day 27 ♥ Best pilot episode

Um, LOST. It's kind of amazing. It does a lot to set up the show, throws in touches of the mythology, introduces all of the [original] major characters, and has fantastic cinematography on top of it all.

My love affair with LOST, let me show you it.

( the rest )


30 Days Of Who:

Day 20 ♥ The Character Who Is Most Like You

...probably Mickey Smith. Earnest, well-meaning, and in over your head; trying and sometimes screwing it all up; the one left behind.

Mickey was totally my identification character when I was first getting into Who.

☆ Some generous application of zipties later, I am now able to run my EHDs without worrying endlessly about the dog pulling cables out. Yay, zipties! Almost as useful as gaffe tape.

☆ ARD:U has updated their site with three more books. *bounces* I want them to update more regularly, man, all that time spent without those guys in my life makes me sadface.

☆ Thanks to the ~magic~ of MyCokeRewards giving me stuff for drinking as much soda as I would anyway, I am now the proud owner of some fairly nice wireless headphones. I love free stuff, it's awesome.

☆ Current DW spoilers being leaked are adorable and happymaking.

☆ Yesterday I wrote about a thousand words in Better Than It Sounds, which objectively speaking isn't that much but it got me up to the band breakup, which I have been struggling to get through for, like, a couple months. It's been a major writing block and I finally got through it and that is very yay.

Overheard: "So I was seriously scared that between how much I drank last night and how much I was sweating today that I'd walk out and hear some kid say, 'Mommy, why does Badger smell like Daddy?'"

During intermission for Twelfth Night tonight, Portland and I got on headset and started chanting the ASM's name in creepy whispers until she got on headset and yelled at us for being creepy. Then we started chanting the SM's name, until the ASM pointed out he wasn't on headset and so it was ineffective, so we started with one of the actors' names, and she pointed out that he never goes on headset ever, so we started with "We're bored" "Really bored" until the SM got on headset and then we chanted his name until he went "I'M GOING TO RUN AWAY IF YOU KEEP DOING THAT".

In our defense, we were really, really bored.

Also, I less than three my changeover crew. We finished tonight's changeover so fast omg. (Okay, so it was Twelfth -> Willows, which is our easiest changeover. Still. SO FAST.)

Also also, in a week I will be UNEMPLOYED. Unemployed, you guys. *sadfaces*


...non-work stuff? Um.

...I have a ridiculous amount of fandom consumption to get caught up on. I still haven't seen the last two episodes of Kings. Or all of Children Of Earth. Or the most recent episode of Psych. Or the two unaired episodes of Dollhouse. Or even the last episode of Pushing Daisies (which I am afraid to watch because then it will be really over omg). Also the tenth book of Everworld. And ARDU's rendition of "The Unknown".

I have all of these, I just haven't watched/read/listened to them yet. I'm so behind. It's tragic, really. Also, I maybe have too many fandom obsessions.
