The highest form of fail known to man.*

Sickle's Day, Cliff-Notes Version:

- Day started off with routine self-loathing due to latelatelateness. Things were better than yesterday, though, in that supreme concentration was not required for menial tasks and the morning's routine was not interrupted by senseless weeping. (Translation: Fail, but not Epic Fail!)

- Biked over to Plexus to ask about where I could get an International Student Card. Biked to the address they gave me. Failed to find the place after a brief scan and then decided to not even try to search more thoroughly considering the time it was already. (Translation: Progress!)

- Arrived at work and wrote out notes for all the edits and additions I need to make in my first draft. (Translation: Fake progress!)

- Had miso soup and two mandarins for lunch. (Translation: Lunch was made of fail!)

- Worked on reading articles about lion manes and on maneless lions, then summarized in preparation for paragraph in the introduction. (Translation: Progress!)

- Spoke a few minutes with Supervisor who wanted some carcass-due-to-drought photos and a lioness' whisker spots. (Translation: Win!)

- Got home, heated up hotdogs for dinner and resolutely refused to go swimming. Did some weights instead. (Translation: Epic fail narrowly averted!)

- Plan to watch Heroes and Castle 1x03, continuing on from yesterday's Castle viewing. I found the show entertaining and light-fare (in that there's no woe or angst or thinky-thoughts going on - yet). Nathan's character is a wonderful caricature most of the time, which is okay because he's hilarious, except for the moments where he's a bit of a sleeze. I adored Castle's mother and daughter and really, really like the father&daughter scenes. There should be more of that in the show. And on TV. And real life. Just, more. (Also, those were the scenes where I most liked Castle.) (Translation: Squee!)

I'm glad you seem to have a decent (win/progress/squee):fail ratio!

*hangs onto the hood of your car and squishes fiercely*

Yeah, well the win:fail ratio may seem ok, but the time spent on win < time spent on fail. Argh.

*improves your ratios with cuddles, because cuddles are win*

My logic is impeccable. >.>

Yes, yes it is ♥

Awesome links :D And I love secretlytodream's vids, they're unbelievably well done, right?

(And I think it's awesome you include links in your posts, I personally just tend to ramble on about nothing, really, while I could do my f-list some good and share so many wonderful things to squee over!) :D

secretlytodream's vids are awesome and their incredibly prolific too.

And the reason why I have a Links of the Day is because I was tired of my posts basically being lists of "This is cool! And this too!" so I figured, hey, organization won't kill me. (Except sometimes it has due to several epic and gigantic lists.)

Epic gigantic organised lists of squee are LOVE! :D
