For those that play Triumph.
I think you will all understand why I can't stop laughing at this one:

First off - Thank you for the birthday wishes on here guys :) I got some on FB as well.

Secondly, the weekend started off kinda crappy. After a fun night hanging over at the Bledsoes and watching The Proposal (cute romantic comedy) and chatting with NW crew, Saturday started off bleh. The new boots I had bought broke upon walking down the stairs so it was an 8 am run to Target, I forgot some things, and just was in a meh mood. And still hurting from PT the night before.

Game really went well for the most part. I enjoyed the RP I got, realized WHY Ilana doesn't talk to a few people (and need to figure out how to stop being terrified of a certain female barbarian who is damn intimidating...) and got to work with a lot of people she normally doesn't work with on puzzling things out. And as usual had a blast with the tribe/lodge crew. They rock in so many ways.

Had some really good personal conversations, and Ilana is going to buy Chikta a ton of new socks ;) (No pink ones!).

Sunday, we had my birthday dinner due to some miscommunication on my end; I got pretty gifts from Sparky (I adore that hairclip!) and J9. Yay! Yay for good times with friends. 14 people..holy crap :)!

I hurt sooooo much yesterday, I took the day off from the gym. Today I'm hoping to get back there.

Quote of the weekend:
"It fizzles...on your crotch."

Lesson learned:
Never go have personal trainer session night before Triumph.

I don't think there is a part of my body that doesn't hurt, and that was before the rough fall I took on the rocks at game. (One rock went straight into my kneecap and my knee is swollen to shit).

99% of game was pure win.

Other 1% was ruined by some asshats who can't follow rules.

I won't let the 1% get in my way.

So let's see:

Supernatural last night. I'm still laughing over parts of it. Nutcracker! "Seriously? Seriously?" And the tandem bike. Ha! Not to mention the commercial.
*snickers* "Only untalented douchebags wear sunglasses at night." "Say we pulled it out of Sam's ass."

(Not to mention firesong_jb's confused text to me at some point.) Hee hee hee.


*snickers*

Anyway for the big reveal - I'm not sure how I feel about it; but well played Kripke. Because thinking back on it, there is very very subtle hints on that being the case. I have to go rewatch a few episodes to confirm; but I'm almost positive the snapping of the fingers was one of them.

I also think it's setting up something in Episode 10; that I've heard Kripke hint on, but there's no major names. However, I think I know now.

Lessee:

Girl Number 9. Why are you not watching this? It's a web show - it's only about 30 minutes total, each episode is somewhere between 3 and 6 minutes. Go. Now. Watch. Be damn impressed.
Episode 4 is the one that had my jaw drop twice in 5 minutes.

I am waiting for episode 6, which is tonight. All of the episodes will be online all month.

Go. Watch. This. Show.

Other than that, need to get ready for game. Wheee!

Christopher Walken performing Lady Gaga's "Poker Face".

Not a bad weekend. I think there's one picture out there of me in costume from last night.
It wasn't anything huge, but I hope hope hope to have a sewing machine next year to make my own.

Annyway, NaNoWriMo starts today, and I am going to start on that after I go and lay down - stupid PMS headache.

James Moran, one of my favorite writers from Torchwood (he wrote the hard-hitting Season 2 Sleeper episode, which I still think is one of the best of the whole series, and co-wrote Day 3 for CoE) - has a new web-show starting tonight in the UK.

I'm not sure when we will have access to it here in the states, I hope it's within days.

Anyway, it's called "Girl Number 9" and is a six episode series. It has Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto) in it, and looks good enough that I'm going to definitely give it a check.

Here's some more info on it:

Guardian Commentary

Website: Girl Number 9

The private video that requires a password is more than likely going to be unlocked today at some point - it's the show video. The rest of the website is accessible as far as I've been able to tell.

Obviously I won't see it until Sunday, but I'll watch it then assuming I can access it. I like James Moran, he's a great writer, and Gareth David-Lloyd was wonderful as Ianto.

Lessee.

Michelle moved in for a bit of time tonight; I explained to her all the requirements to live with me (you WILL apply for jobs and look, you WILL app for disability, etc). The extra bit of money (not much) will help.

Supernatural is new tonight! Saweeeet. From the clip I saw, Sera Gamble may actually do well with this one (I have not been a fan of some of her last few.)

And this:

Hrms. Have some ranty issues, but I should post it to a locked community for the galz. Maybe later today. Just I shudder when people don't do their jobs. Seriously.

It's cold and rainy today, but that's okay. :)

Oh! firesong_jb - since you are the biggest HP fan that I know, I have some small trinkets I found for you. I've had them for a few years, but just realized that they were still around. You might be able to use them, keep them, or put them into something creative for the nursery.

Yeah, not much else going on.

No costumes for the party(ies) this weekend. Not sure how I'm going to get around that.

Stolen happily from shimmerngspirit.

This is my favorite:

It's rainy, cold, and miserable outside and I'm still feeling the ick. Much better than yesterday, so hopefully it doesn't keep me down for the rest of the weekend. Though if this rain doesn't clear up...*grumbles*

Need to do some emails. Need to contact someone for GCL as well.

So, looks like I will be in Oregon on May 1, 2010. YAY! I wonder if I can get some time off to go hit Seattle and visit friends and Vancouver, just because I've never been there. Hrms...wonder if I can plan that.

And finally -

Leia!

For your morning amusement:

Worst and Weirdest Vampire Merchandise. Admittedly I thought the Blacula soap was kinda funny.

Secondly, I realized I was off by a week on things again. Triumph is the day after my birthday, which makes planning a dinner with some friends kinda hard, since everyone will be planning for game. I'll still see. Maybe Monday after game might be better. Don't know. What do people think?

Yes, darkwolf_childe, I have an Amazon wish list. No, I don't expect anything off it. We have had this convo.




Next several weeks are busy already on the weekends; KoLumbus is the week after Triumph. Jick and Hotstuff are going too...this should be an interesting weekend, if nothing else. :)

I'm getting over whatever damn virus I got. Still have a headache and no energy, but the fever I had yesterday is gone. I hope to be at work all day, if I can make it.

No new Supernatural tonight. Sad panda is I, but I guess I'll figure something to do. Maybe catch up on Fringe.

Had a pounding headache this morning, and after laying there for a few minutes, it felt *inside my head* like something slammed/slid together. And the headache went away for a bit.

Then my right ear decided to go quiet and not hear for me for a bit.

*sighs*

Things are weird right now.

OWBN emails, heh, never thought I'd have TWO scenes going. Maybe I should hop back on the Gangrel list.

I'm going to have to drop some more emails soon too. anvilchorus, you still playing Jon or has he been retired?

~~

My right eye is hurting something awful. I'm hoping I don't have pink eye or am getting it. I'm going to keep watch on it today, hopefully nothing is going on, it's just irritated at something.

~~

I can't wear theatre type makeup anymore. Wore a bit last week for the Haunt (made my face/neck a bit greyer for the summoner) and broke out horribly. My neck is still looking really really bad. I can't get it to heal.

~~

Not sure if I'm going to make the haunt tonight or not; I really want to go, but I have a crapton of stuff to do at home too - and my eye and face are just..making me not want to go do anything.

~~

First session with a trainer tonight. I got 3 free sessions, so I'm going to take advantage of them.

~~

Supernatural was a lot of fun last night. I SOOOOOO want to see the whoopee cushion gag make the gag reel, because of the deadpan tone that Misha Collins had to speak with - I'm wondering how many takes that was.


I think that's it.

My eye really friggen hurts.

Started eating different things in an attempt to get my weight loss jump started. Two pieces of rice toast with almond butter this morning (the 400 calories); and now my snack is going to be a bit of oatmeal and an egg.

My doc thinks eating 5 small meals - and on days I work out, about 2000 total calories, might help more than eating the three meals.

~~~

More awesome from KOL people:

One of the DJs (Wombatilim) on Radio KoL has a band she's in as the basist. The group is named The Kimberly Trip. Apparently they play out in Sacremento.

Anyone, one of their songs was played the other night and I love it. I think a few of you - firesong_jb comes to mind as one - might like it as well.

The Kimberly Trip
- The song is called Kissing in Digital. You can download it or click to play it, but if you click to play it; make sure pop ups are allowed for the player on the site to activate.

I love the lead singer's voice.

I will be doing NaNoWriMo this month. I have an idea for a story, so hopefully I can flesh it out a bit.

~~~~

That's about it really.

I am a geek.

That is all.

Much love to everyone who needs it.

Seems the universe is just being an asshole to a lot of people these days.

Since this will help me put things in perspective:

Bad: Is sick

Good: Not the flu, seems to be just a mix of cold and allergies.


Bad: Washing Machine crapped out while there was a load of laundry in it on Thursday night

Good: It's a minor issue, part has been bought for under 35 bucks, and maintenance will have it in today. Also, I ended up doing laundry by hand and THAT is a workout.


Bad: My cat's fountain is leaking

Good: It's a very slow leak, and I believe the part may be pretty cheap, but if worse comes to worse, I can buy a new one with the extra paycheck in November.


Bad: The Steelers are really being stupid sloppy in the second half of their games.

Good: They won yesterday and have a pair of easy win (better be) games coming up against the hapless Browns and the Lions.


Bad: I need a new vaccuum cleaner.

Good: I can pick and choose the next one as a Christmas gift to myself.


Bad: My credit sucks

Good: It's getting much better, as I start paying everything down.


Bad: Weight isn't going anywhere yet

Good: We are working on figuring it out. :)


Bad: I missed a phone call from someone surprising last night :(

Good: I got a phone call from someone unexpected - even if I did miss it. Will call you tonight or tomorrow ;-)
