Serendipity

CSI 5x13 "Nesting Dolls" was just on the TV. Oh guh. Featuring one of my favorite GSR scenes. But then I put two and two together and realized I missed the previous episode, "Snakes", which may just have my favorite scene of the entire series. And I missed it! Bah. Going to watch clips to cheer myself up.

Meanwhile, krisnreine is my XF crack dealer. Keep bringing it on ;)

Also, the last few days have sucked. I got a cold and my period at the same time. I had a painful sore throat, pounding headache, fever, and cramps on top of it. I had to work, and it sucks having a job where you can't call in sick. I took a lot of Airborne so I thought it was going away, but I still have a sore throat. Bah again. Heck, it could be worse. I'll stop complaining.

I don't waaaaaaanna make my sidle_lims icon (okay, I stop complaining after this post). I crashed and burned at jorjalims and now my muse won't talk to me.

Back from Mexico. Wedding was great, seeing family was great, not understanding spanish...not so great. And I did get a little bit sick near the end. But overall, a good trip.

I don't have any days with the reindeer until next week, so today I went window shopping with a friend. I dragged her into the Apple store and we played with the iTouch and iPhone for about an hour. Holy crap they're awesome. 16 Gigs, however, is not enough, much less 8. But it was so friggin' cool. You can browse the net on any wifi, it has a special youtube feature, scrolling through lists is megafun with the touch feature, and the iPhone even has a built in camera. Oh so cool. Unfortunately I don't have a spare $400 lying around. And really it's just a cool techno-gadget that's not necessary. But dayum.

Also? I saw CSI 8x07. SO sad. Need something to cheer me up and fic isn't doing it. Going to re-watch the clip. THE clip. Because bee proposal makes it all better.

1. I made an icon! For the new sg1podfic community.



I've been experimenting a lot recently and this was a pleasant surprise. I've been so glad to make art again. The muse is finally back and I have so many things I want to try out and explore. It's such a thrill when an icon starts to come together the way you want it!

2. While looking for iPod stock photos for the above icon, I found this:



GOLD-PLATED iPODS! $600-$800 depending on storage capactity. For the hyper-rich people on your christmas list ;)

3. ( CSI - 8x04? I've lost track....the last one! )

4. I finally finished Harry Potter!! ( Spoilers for HP7...if there's anyone left to spoil. )

OMG, I actually watched a show!

( CSI - spoilers for...whatever this episode was )

Anyone know of a good CSI mood theme?

I love my shows. I love, love, love my shows. I've been watching all my favorite series this afternoon, and they've been great. First there was some West Wing, then over to CSI, then I happened to catch "Beneath the Surface" on SciFi (forgot how much I LOVE and ADORE that episode), then some good Whose Line is it Anyway? and Daily Show, and finally back to West Wing, which had the most amazingly dramatic ending AND one absolutely priceless ship moment. Donna loves Josh, heeeee! Oh god, ship turns me into a 13-year old girl. Pretend I didn't just do that.

But heeeeee. ;)

So...I got a call from the family the day I last updated. That other place I applied to? The animal training college? Yeah, didn't get in. But got WAITLISTED. Not a bad spot, 5th on the waitlist, but this means I have to wait even longer. The accepted students (50 of them) have until late July to decide whether they actually go (finances being the main deterrant). So I most likely will not know whether I can go (in early/mid-August) until JULY. Which means I can't get a long-term job or make any kind of long-term plans until then.

Anyways. SHIT! Next week? I'll be gone in Honduras. And I am NOT complaining about that, except I just learned Bravo will be airing West Wing all week. Day. And Night. Holy friggin' crap. I wish I could be here for that. Heck, I can't even properly record that.

I sound like a whiney little brat, don't I? *L* I shall be going now before I make myself feel even more stupid. Love you all, though. Special hugs this week for qwirky, suzvoy, brandinsbabe, and, even though she won't see it, vered.

I'm skipping around between topics today with no particular point. Feel free to ignore.
