Further DW thoughts [06 Jul 2008|12:30am]

[ mood | dorky ]
[ music | Aqua - turn back time ]

As previously stated in [info]viridian's journal. (And why do I not have more DW icons? This season brought back the love, big time.)

Spoilers ahoy )

Have also just realized that Donna and her mom are a lot like me and my dad. Hello, weirded out now. (That does shed a little extra light on just why I love Donna so much, though. Beyond the fact that she rocks.)

And man am I glad I still have that AU crossover sequel to write.

I was going to wait to post this until after the collective Doctor Who freakout died down, but eh. Screw it. There's only about five other people who like this pairing anyway, and I'm pretty sure most of them are on my friends list.

So, I know it isn't Friday, but here is the Friday Five

1. What drink wakes you up best in the morning?

Unsweatened Iced Tea, with lemon and 1 splenda. I used to get it from Dunkin Donuts, but now I make it at home, and it is so much cheaper.

2. During the day, what do you drink to keep going?

I keep drinking the ice tea during the day, but eventually switch to water, because the caffinee will keep me up all night

3. Do you drink the recommended 8 glasses of water per day? Why/why not?

Not usually. And other beverages count towards your amount of water. Do drink a lot during the day though.

4. What are the ingredients of your favorite mixed drink? (Doesn't have to be alcoholic!)

4 coronas, 1 can of frozen limeaid, 1 can filled with tequila. Serve over ice, and you have amazing beer margaritas.

5. Are you a coffee drinker? How do you take your coffee, if so?

sure, why not. I like it with skim milk and splenda, and I love iced coffee.

WALL-E [05 Jul 2008|07:50pm]

Pixar hits another one out of the ballpark... WALL-E is all kinds of awesome and not to be missed!!! I was totally immersed in this world from the start and was already tearing up 15 minutes in... by the end I was totally choked up! The film works on so many levels but at its center is one of the most beautiful love stories ever put on film.

trapped in the closet [05 Jul 2008|12:25am]

spaceyplum
I had a lovely relaxing 4th of July until they started up with the firecrackers! I'm currently in the closet with my dog who is a nervous wreck. The poor thing only calms down a bit if he's in my brothers walk-in closet but I have to sit in here with him or he won't stay put.

I had a nice day of vegging out in front of the boob tube with my pal [info]buildingupsteam while we surfed youtube for old DAYS clips (specifically Bo & Carly, thanks [info]candylandgal!) and flipped between a Dirty Jobs marathon and General Hospital which offered a lot of unintentional laughs. We also got some Guitar Hero in but mostly we were too lazy to play for long.

I also decided, on a whim, that it was time for a new icon journal. I really was starting to hate the old icon journal name plus I think I finally got the hang of Photoshop Elements so it's the perfect time to start over. After much deliberation I went with the name [info]jammiedodgers, it suits my current Eddie Izzard mood.

I was going to do my book update but I'm not in the mood now. I hope they stop with the firecrackers soon so I can get out of this closet already. I'm planning to see the early show of WALL-E tomorrow so I need to get some shuteye. Have a fab weekend everyone!

Camping update & other stuff [04 Jul 2008|11:58am]

[ mood | moody ]
[ music | Reno 911! ]

So...I'm back from camping for the day. I'm actually back until tomorrow morning. Yeah...about an hour before I headed off to bed last night, I ended up with a piercing headache above my right eye. It would've been gone when I woke up this morning except for the fact that I slept like crap last night. I was freezing and just couldn't sleep well. So I decided to beg off assisting with the rocket shoot (Casey said he'd take my place...thankfully) and decided to stay home with the dogs since they don't like rocket shoots. Plus, tonight there will probably be firecrackers going off, which would drive Lexi nuts. Anyway, so I'm back and online until tomorrow.

You know how the other day I was mambling on about an 80 GB iPod? Yeah...still want it but today I figured out something I want a whole hell of a lot more. My own laptop. Why? 'Cause the Dell, which I'm on right now since my main computer still ain't working, is ticking me off something fierce. One of the pivot points for the monitor is loose/broken which is just a huge pain in the ass and I can't find any superglue to keep it down. I'm using Elmer's as a temporary fix. Yeah...ain't gonna work well, but it's better than nothing at this moment. Anyway, I'll be searching Fingerhut today (unless I can somehow bribe/con Bette into getting me my own). Only problem is, I'll probably have to get one with Vista. Microsoft's worst decision ever. But I'll deal. That is, if I even get one.

I'm hoping my headache goes away soon. I've taken 120 mg of Ibuprofen, a couple puffs off my Vicks inhaler, a whiff of my aroma therapy beads, a smattering of my HeadOn, two dark chocolate mocha frapuccinos, and I'm now working on my second Pepsi of the day. I've been up since 5. Oh, and I've eaten a few strips of bacon and am working on a piece of cornbread. I'm hoping the combination works, and I think it may be. I don't know for sure just yet.

Hmmm...so I was reading yesterday (House of Leaves, as I said yesterday) and people keep asking me what it's about. Dude...how in the hell do I describe that book. It's so complex and bizarre...I just can't do it. I simply mark my place and hand the book over to them to read the description themselves. It's just easier that way. And even then it doesn't explain the brilliance.

Saffy was better than we'd all anticipated, though she's still not a people dog nor is she really a camping dog.

Yeah, the headache is definitely leaving, though I'm still in a bad mood. Mainly 'cause of the laptop thing and the crappy night's sleep. Everything will be better tomorrow, I'm sure. Or even later tonight. It's only noon now.

And okay...I'm gonna go now. Have nothing more to say and ther's something I need to do, though I can't recall what it is...

Can we all please focus that I now have THREE icons of Catherine Tate? Two of which are as Donna Noble?

If you had told me that at the beginning of the season, I would have laughed at you.

It occured to me just now that when I said I have issues with people thinking I'm stupid, people might not have realized I was serious. So I'm going to try to explain it a little.

Slightly disjointed musing goes here. )

Today's the day & a gift... [03 Jul 2008|09:51am]

[ mood | restless ]
[ music | Meredith Brooks, "Bitch" ]

Well, here we are. Today the camping hell starts. Okay, it's going to be much better than I'm anticipating at this moment because my hormones are all out of whack and I'm experiencing at least ten mood swings a day. Yeah, even I'm getting sick of me.

I'm very ahead of my schedule. I've got all my clothes packed. My purse emptied and turned into my medications bag (hey...it's going to be hot and sunny, both factors in giving me hellacious headaches). All I have to do is pack up the books I'm taking along (House of Leaves [I'd actually forgotten how much I love that book...and how little of it I remember due to my faulty memory] and two Ms. Marvel compilations [for research purposes]), my tooth stuff, and my pillows. I also need to remember to grab my grub sneaks.

There's been a change of plans and tonight is the night Bette and I are camping. Odds are I won't be camping every night but we all know how susceptible I can be to guilt. But I really am planning on coming home nearly every night to sleep. If I can get a ride. 'Cause I ain't walking 5 miles to get home.

Bette gets done with work early today, around 11:30, so after she gets home she and I are taking a quick trip out to the site to set the tent up. We'll then return home and she'll head back out once again to store the rockets in the tent. Then she'll come back and we'll all head back out there for the evening after my mom gets home from work.

I still have to program The Young and the Restless for my mom and grandma into the VCR to tape off SoapNet tonight. But I can't do that until the kids wake up for the day since I have to use the downstairs VCR.

On an extremely unrelated note, my mom is a fan of Lil' Wayne. And she likes his song "Lollipop." Now I'm left to wonder if she really understands that that song is about a blow job...

Okay, that's really all I have to say for now. My brain is totally blanking. But before I leave you, I shall leave you a gift.

Some babble I'm not even sure I want to read... [02 Jul 2008|09:57am]

[ mood | irritated ]
[ music | Somegirl, "I Lie" ]

You know your town is small when five of the six articles on the front page of the local paper were written by the same person. Not a joke. True story. I counted. Six articles, five of them by the same person.

Anywho, camping starts tomorrow. Yeah, I'm no longer looking forward to it. That stopped the moment I learned that Grandma had invited a bunch of other people along. I'm still planning on being a "day camper," going out every morning and coming home every night. Well, except for one. I've agreed to camp one day. It was Saturday, but now Bette and I are thinking either tomorrow or Friday. I'm trying to be optimistic, but I still feel bad. I mean, my mom is going to be camping now 'cause the kids are here. But with Saffy...she is not going to be a camping dog. She'll be barking every time she hears a new sound. She won't do that here at home.

On a related note, yesterday we went shopping for all the snacks and drinks. My contributions to the coolers? Pepsi, Starbucks, Suisse Mocha, and a box of Cranberry Almond Crunch. Yeah...something tells me I'm not going to be eating when down there.

Crap, it's getting pretty dark outside. It'll be raining soon. Might even storm...which will suck. After all, I probably won't be able to get on the computer most of tomorrow. Today is my last full day.

My iPod is officially all filled up. It is something I'm both proud of and sad about. Sad, 'cause in order to fit the albums I want for camping, I had to leave some others off and proud because...dude, I can fit a surprising amount of albums on a tiny 4GB iPod. Still, I'm looking forward to the larger "I'm going to beg for it for Christmas" iPod. I don't think I'll be able to overload an 80GB drive. Well, unless I start with the music videos, which I know for a fact I won't do. I do like music videos, but not enough to have them on a portable storage device.

Yeah...I'm gonna shut up now and go make what will probably be my last IC post in the groups for a few days. Plus, I need to pack a bag, decide what music I'm taking to lull me to sleep, and do a few chores 'round here.

Sweet zombie jesus on waterskis, I should not be on the internet right now. I am square in the "full of irrational rage" portion of the monthly festivities and I keep finding things that make it worse.

On the plus side (sort of), my WACOM tablet was only mostly dead. So I can use it if I want to but I occasionally have to jiggle the USB cord to get it to work. :P I am so saving up for an Intuos when I finally get a job.

random thought of the day... [30 Jun 2008|12:22am]

spaceyplum
Both of my rediscovered obsessions (Robert Downey Jr. and Eddie Izzard) have played Charlie Chaplin on film, what are the odds?

Speaking of which... Eddie was at his random best tonight! The show felt totally different than Fridays since he kept forgetting bits and riffing on other things. The seats were pretty close and [info]buildingupsteam got some great shots so I'll post pics when I get them. My two favorite shots were Eddie doing the giraffe and the hashashin, two highlights of the show! I also recorded the show and despite the fact that the settings were slightly off (apparently my brother forgot to raise the volume) and I set the mike up in the wrong direction (another thing my brother forgot to mention) you can still hear him over our demonic giggling.

On the subject of me being easily fixated (and why stalking celebrities is a bad thing):

GypsyJr427: I've seen Iron Man eight times now, I'm already walking the fine line between funny-obsessed and creepy-obsessed.
