... I have no idea what to put for the subject of this.
Okay. Wow.

So... this is an extremely long and freaky 'no crap, there I was,' post.

What an interesting night I've had tonight...


Electrical fault, ghost, to-may-to, to-mah-to... )

...all 100% absolutely true. Especially the swearing. This was what happened tonight at work.

Now, I'm not saying it was a ghost or that it wasn't a ghost, just that it was extremely weird and freaky. Also, that after a crazy-long workday and 52 hours into a 60-plus hour work week, my brain's grip on reality is slipperier than a soapy snake. :-P

Meme: This is the meme that never eeeeends...
I got tagged again for this meme (though if I was feeling pedantic I'd say I was only tagged once since two of you got my username spelled wrong. ;-P) by [info]big_pink, [info]boogirl13 and [info]ficwriter1966

Not only did I get tagged again, twice three times for the meme I did the other day, due to the "Change the question if you feel like it" aspect, the same meme from those different people has totally different questions than the first meme. So, by mashing the sets of questions together, I'm forming a lurching Frankenstienian meme of questions I haven't answered yet.


More questions )
So, since this is obviously a dangerous cycle to perpetuate, I'm not tagging anyone. Also, I think I'm running low on friends that a) haven't done it yet and b) won't skin me alive for tagging them.

If you are in neither of the above categories, though, consider yourself tagged. ;-)

Re: 3.11
Just noticed this:

Not plot-related at all, but just in case... )

In other news, I've been lumbered with 300 double-sided pages of boring work-related crap to study at home before work Monday, and am going to have to stop avoiding it soon, because while I've cleaned the house, washed the cat and made enough chili to last for weeks, the guilt about avoiding the work crap is killing my brain for writing or thinking thinky thoughts about anything interesting. So I may as well get the OMG-shoot-me-now boring crap out of the way. Blech. :-P

Going Dark
Alright, as some of you know, (and some of you lurkers know extra well), I'm moving. After this post, I'm packing the computer. I'll be without 'net access until whenever the ISP gets its crap together, so hopefully sometime next week. Have fun and don't destroy the internet while I'm gone. ;-P

Topping up my karma meter.
I just gave away an entire pickup truckload (literally!) of old project computers that I'm never going to get around to working on. There's some local people who re-build free computers to give to kids whose families can't afford to buy them.

I feel disturbingly virtuous... but also very glad that that's one less pickup truckload I have to move to my new place at the end of the week. So really, it kind of balances out.

Unexpected fangirling and Christmas stuff
HOLY CRAP!!!

Alright, so I'm watching "One Magic Christmas" while I put up my tree, and seriously, why did I not know that Elisabeth Harnois, the same Elisabeth Harnois that kicked ass as Piper in Ten Inch Hero, played Abby Grainger in "One Magic Christmas"???

I saw "One Magic Christmas" in the theatre three times when it came out! Elisabeth Harnois was awesome! What was she, five? I remember even as a kid myself being really impressed with her acting and how much work it must have been for a kid that young considering how much she is in the movie. Her character has always been my favourite kid character in a Christmas movie! She kicks Cindy Lou Who's butt! No wonder I wanted a pocket-sized version of her to keep in my desk drawer and feed Cheetos when I saw "Ten Inch Hero"!

Hee! I'm all gleeful now! This is awesome! :-D

Anyway, yep I decorated! The cat 'helped'.
Pictures, a tiny vid, and far more than you ever wanted to know about my holiday habits and what's on my bookcase under the cut. )

Sigh... Whose celestial cornflakes did I do what to now?
Horrific! There were innards spewing everywhere!

No, not tonight's episode.

That damned eight hour tape I keep bitching about? The one I've kept using despite its proven treachery because not using every single minute of a VHS tape goes against my nature and my current budget of bugger all? Unspooled and snarled around the internal workings of my only VCR.

It was like a bad remake of the final torture scenes of "Braveheart", really. Writ small, in magnetic mylar and out-dated video equipment, complete with agonized electronic squealing. The tape mostly came out again in one mangled piece, but....

Every single third season episode to date. Gone. Foom. Buh-bye.

As an extra added bonus the VCR is toast. It makes angry banging noises if I put any tape in now, recording or watching. Honestly, I don't blame it.

I did manage to see 3.07 twice before the evisceration, and took notes, but after the appalling anxiety-ridden week I've had, the culminating rancid crapfest that tomorrow will be, and the fact that with no functioning VCR I can't record anything or watch anything on VHS until I replace it some time in 2008 maybe...

I'm completely and utterly freaking done.

I'm sorry. G'nite everybody.

Life: Pointless trivia
Pointless trivia I feel the need to share with the world.

Complimentary individually-wrapped mints from Boston Pizza have an empirically tested 50% chance of their packaging retaining water-tightness when going through a full cold water wash cycle in the laundry.

That is all. Sigh.
