But sometimes, you run across fic that is better than the source material, and then you want MOAR, only there is no more to be had because the source material isn't that good. (Translation: I read really interesting Dragonriders of Pern fanfic last night, which just makes me *sadface* at how little McCaffrey really explored the world she created.)

It's raining again. My yard (and street) hadn't dried up the small oceans from the last rain. Le sigh.

I don't think he's funny, and I don't like his movies. But I'm watching Night at the Museum for the T-Rex skeleton, because you really can't go wrong with a living T-Rex skeleton that plays fetch. Also, the mummy is kind of incredibly hot. And Teddy Roosevelt made me tear up for a minute there.

Bill Church (head of Intergang, bigass criminal organization): We're criminals. Greedy, opportunistic vermin preying on innocent people.
Bill Church Jr: And?

*splorfle*

How can I have slept eleven hours and still be tired? *cries*

Edit:
Clark: I did get things out in the open, starting with 'Will you marry me?'
Lois: No, I got things out in the open starting with 'You are Superman.'
Clark: A little louder. I don't think they heard you in Gotham City.

...if I really think there should be some Perry White/Jimmy Olson fic out there?

Today has been declared lurker amnesty day! Have you read me but never commented? Do you surf by occasionally? Here for the fic? (HA!) Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just for that. (Hell, say hi even if you do comment; I like saying hi to people.)

Earlier, I had Deep Thots* about Lois and Clark, but they have escaped. So you get a meme instead.

I wish I felt inspired to do something more than stare at the internet while DVDs play in the background.


*As Deep as Thots about a fluffy little 90s romcom can be, at least.

I discovered the "Kripke Started It" Changing Channels meme on LJ. Someone did Power Rangers. 'Nuff said.

I just finished SPN 5x11, and I have to ask...did anyone else think the MotW was incredibly obvious from the first moment ze appeared on the screen? Like, wearing a nametag that said, "HELLO, MY NAME IS Monster of the Week" obvious. (Crossposted, for a change, because my DW account is so very sad and neglected.)

May you live long and porn prosper! :D
festive!
And Happy December 25, to those who don't. :)

Now, let's see if we can't get these little ones their wings: Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today!

I got an adorable e-card from [personal profile] reannon on LJ, which had a little button to push to tell if I'm naughty or nice. Apparently, I'm either the nicest person ever, or it's amazing I'm not in jail right now. Admittedly, I had to push the button four times to get the "nice" outcome, and only once for the "OMGSOEVIL!!!eleventy!" outcome. ^__^

I'm off work tomorrow \o/, and I plan to spend the entire day cuddling cats, knitting, and rotting my brain with endless episodes of Knight Rider (thanks again, [personal profile] myopicmirror04!). You?

...is that if you pretend you think women are people, and sometimes toss them flowers or a love song, the stupid bitches'll buy it and not murder you in the night like you probably deserve.

Which is to say, I finally circumvented the bad menu on Hercules and the Amazon Women, aka, "Hercules Teaches an Entire Village to be Nice Guys™" and watched it. I knew it was bad, but OH MAN had I forgotten how bad. Not even Iolaus dying in Herc's arms (spoiler: he gets better) or Lucy Lawless as not!Xena, or a village of scantily clad Amazons dancing erotically before their sex raid on the men's village can really make up for just how awful this is. (Okay, possibly that last bit is part of how awful this is, but I am allowed to be shallow.)
silly
The bin it's stored in is starting to smell a bit like bourbon. *debates building a still instead of feeding the quail and cottontails*

In related news, coconut rum is sweet and tricksy, especially in pineapple juice.

I am two slipper-socks away from the six pair Boss#1 wanted for Christmas baskets. Guess what I'm doing today? (In the end there will be MONEY, so.)
drunk
Due to a tragic ordering fail at work, my cats are eating Friskies until at least Monday. They inform me this is not what they signed up for. But at least they won't eat me in my sleep.

Guys, guys, knitting two socks at a time on one circular needle is the most awesome thing ever! I must have MOAR SOCK YARN and MOAR SOCK BOOKS!

Edit: It shouldn't be any harder to convert instructions on two circular needles to two on one, than it is to convert instructions for DPNs to one circular, right? I mean, it's still a matter of dividing up the front/top and back/bottom stitches into groups. I ask because I'm considering going back to my copy of Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles (the book that nearly made me swear off socks) and knitting the kitty socks.

KITT from Knight Rider driving straight toward the camera, with the words "KITT happens" underneath
The Pahrump-A-Pum-Pum Festival was absolutely dead. I was there for four hours freezing my ass off in the booth (shared by the store and two friends of Boss #1), and I was never, ever so glad to go back to the store as I was this afternoon. Tomorrow they're predicting rain; I hope I don't have to go back. *cries*

But Knit Picks has their sweater kits half off right now, which means 15 balls of Wool of the Andes (7 of one color, 8 of another, colors vary depending on which kit you get) for $14.99. I cannot resist yarn for $1/ball. Plus, free sweater pattern if I ever decide I do want to make a sweater!
freezing my damn ass off
Last night I dreamed that Peter Pan knocked up Wendy and they had twins.

Peter gave Wendy a fruit, and when she went to eat it, Tink magically goosed her, so that she swallowed it whole and came up pregnant with twins. (This happens surprisingly often in fairy tales.) And we know it was the fruit because the twins (one boy, one girl, named Nut and Berry) had skin the yellow-orange color of the fruit's flesh (yes, they were literally peach colored) and green hair and eyes like the fruit's skin. Oh, and also they were born in seed pods, which, you know, ouch.

And since part of my dream was a dream, and part of it was me reading the book, I woke up with passages like, "The twins grew quickly, so that in perhaps a year - or a bit more, or a bit less, for time is hard to reckon in Neverland - they were old enough to join the Lost Boys. And Berry ran as fast and laughed as loud and flew as high as any of the others, for Wendy had been quite unable to make a proper young lady of her (Wendy privately blamed Peter's influence)."

Then later the twins accidentally left Neverland (which was apparently in a giant beehive, IDEK), and as they grew up and lost their innocence and outgrew their clothes I suspect there would have been twincest, but I woke up before then.

Oddly, the whole dream was of the Disney style characters, even though Disney's Peter Pan is by far my least favorite (I prefer the character designs from Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates, where Peter actually looks like a little boy).

Someone should totally write this for me, of course.

[personal profile] bridgetmkennitt, you might want to not click the link until after you're done with your fic fest fics. :D

Random ideas are pretty womancentric, actually. )

I now own a Philips MP3/video player*. So, does anyone know how I can get my various AVI files (and DVDs) into SMV format so I can take them places with me? Preferably a free way?

*And a pair of boots that are too narrow in the heel, so I'll have to return them. :(
cheerful
Because I just got a set of 15 sizes of 6" bamboo DPNs - 5 of each size, so *math* 75 needles total - for $19.99 and $4.99 shipping. I would have preferred 5", which fits my rather small hands, but 6" should serve without tending to get caught on my sleeves like 7" do.

No, I don't expect these to be the highest quality needles ever at that price, but considering I rarely use DPNs because I prefer magic loop (I am working on slipper socks in magic loop! I AM ENJOYING THEM! I may get over my anti-sock bias!), I think these will serve just fine. And I can't argue with the price.

Then while I was there, I used a gift certificate to buy myself Friday the 13th: the series season two. Which netted me a $5 credit for Amazon Video On Demand. Which I may or may not use - I would have to watch at work since I don't have a fast enough connection to stream things here - but it's rather a nice thought, I guess.

Having something you would love to coerce someone into writing for you, and not being able to foist it off on anyone because it features one of your own Sues. Yes, that is how far my writing mojo has fled, guys; even my own characters can't entice me anymore. Thank GODS I have crappy 80s television to watch.
