bending_sickleI continue to be behind in everything in my life, although I have an excuse for today, because today mom and I went windowshopping, although the intention was to go to the Goethe so I could sign up for a course but the secretary was closed and we didn't so much "go windowshopping" as "go into shops and fail to find anything that wasn't hideous", which is why we got home late and watched Castle (2x01) and then I tried to catch up on the flist and by then I just was too tired to do anything at all and anyway it was too late in the night so here I am.
Also, run on sentences.
I hope to have photos to post tomorrow (they're uploading!) but for now, Imma gonna go and watch The Daily Show's last Thursday episode. For greater justice.

Quote of the Day:
greygirlbeast (Caitlin R. Kiernan), hereI'm on manuscript page 162. But, even as I begin this seemingly marvelous progress, the insecurity mounts. The fear that I'm not even half smart enough to write this book, and that there's no audience who wants to read a novel of this sort. I have begun heavily second guessing the reader.
Fuck the so-called wisdom of writing workshops, of instructors, and fuck all that shit about reader/writer contracts. This sort of anxiety is poisonous to good fiction. One does not write for an audience, unless one only wishes to pander. One writes. The worth of a novel is not determined by the opinions of those who read it, collected and averaged to yield an objective rating that may be expressed in stars given and stars withehld. It's all a lonely mess. The book's "worth" lies in the mind of the author, and in the mind of each reader. Each is alone with the book, and everyone who reads it is subject to their own unique experience. Nothing is generally true. That said, I sit and try to just let Imp speak and tell her story, but I begin to hear the complaints to come. The shitty Amazon and blog "reviews" it may receive in 2012. These things shouldn't occur to me, and certainly they shouldn't give me a moment's pause, but they do. "It takes forever before anything actually happens." "It's slow." "It rambles." And so on and on and on and so forth.

Date: 2011-01-13 08:04 pm (UTC)I always go a bit crazy during exam season. And by that I mean, more crazy. :'D Ah well, I shall spend my free time reading fanfiction and watching shows, of course, since ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO UNI NEED THE ABITUR ahahaha *ded from all the freaking out all the time over absolutely everything*
SORRY, LOVE. D:

Date: 2011-01-13 08:15 pm (UTC)...erm. LET'S GO CRAZY TOGETHER!
Also, I think I found you on Facebook and poked you. Not that I ever actually use Facebook, but hey, it was a whim to see if you were on. I don't know where I'm going with that, except that I've been half-dressed in my pijamas for like 20 minutes now and I'm still peeved for no reason and the phrase EVERYTHING SUCKS OMG is running through my head so obviously random friending on FB is the natural course of action.
Dude, darling, I'm here to enable the crazy so that you can make it through the exam season. IT WILL BE DONE, never fear. *squishes her squishy*
Okay, yeah, going a bit crazy this evening. Imma crawl into bed and watch TV show with nice explosions now.

Date: 2011-01-13 09:19 pm (UTC)Sorry your day has been a right pain in the ass and that 2011 doesn't behave as it should! I'm glad we can feel sucky and emo together, tough, THOUGH I DO NOT EVER WANT YOU TO FEEL SUCKY AND EMO BECAUSE YOU DESERVE BUT EPICNESS. *squishes back* In fact,
NICE EXPLOSIONS ARE ALWAYS NICE. I AM PREPARED TO SPEND ACTUAL MONIES TO GO TO THE MOVIES TO SEE EXPLOSIONS IN HIGH DEFINITION BECAUSE WHO EVEN NEEDS PLOT IF THERE IS SHIT BLOWING UP (AND PORN).
Sweet dreams, darling heart! ♥ also why can't The Blind Banker load faster dammit
no subject
Date: 2011-01-13 09:49 pm (UTC)I don't want either of us to feel sucky and emo, but hey! We've got each other! We can take turns holding each other's hands through life. (I may have written this exact thing to you already - my memory, it is a goldfish - but I just love the idea anyway so there, Imma write it to you again and there's nothing you can do about it!)
Tomorrow. Things will be better tomorrow, and we'll slowly inch our way through the to-do list of 2011. *huggles the emo outta you*
My current Go-To TV for explosions is Human Target (trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB10oLE7sKM)) which took me a while to like because it's so ridiculous and over=the-top and doesn't take itself seriously. Then I grew to love the characters and embrace the extravagance. Then Fox was its usual bastard self (see also: Firefly) and let the ball drop on the show so it got no promotion and no schedule you could count on, then it completely revamped the show for Season 2 and it took them until Episode 7 for me to recognize My Show amidst all the crap they put on it. Tonight, it was My Show again, and while there were no explosions, there was Rorschach's actor kicking major ass.

Date: 2011-01-14 02:15 pm (UTC)Today was better indeed AND NOW IT IS THE WEEKEND WHICH IS A BONUS. Although I am currently watching the last episode of Sherlock and feeling all wistful and emo because there's nothing to obsess over after that. :(
Ahahha, Human Target looks absolutely ridiculous! Which, you know, I mean as a good thing. ;) And I hate when shows do the whole disappearing act! *glares at Merlin* But I looked up Sherlock earlier and apparently, it's coming back in autumn, so I'm hoping! But... autumn, ugh, Jesus. :|
I think I'll be rewatching The Soloist later on to compensate for the general lack of awesomeness. :( BUT I DO LOVE THAT MOVIE IT HAS ALL MY FAVOURITE THINGS, MUSIC, FRIENDSHIP AND RDJ. ♥
How was your day, darling?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-14 03:20 pm (UTC)The Soloist! I've always wanted to watch that movie! Why have I not watched that movie?!? ...I'll put it on The List. Oogle at RDJ for me, 'kay? AND HAPPY (FINALLY) WEEKEND!
My day so far invovled a) freezing at the office, b) hitting the point in the project where I can't really go forward unless Stuff That's Not Happening Happens, and c) surprise Mother outside office.
This last involved much discussion of whether either of us was hungry enough for a snack (she was undecided) and then where we could get a snack (my suggestions were unacceptable) before we went on a short (length and direction unknown) walk before going home for lunch. I got frustrated at the insanity of it all and the lack of communication with my mother (I thought it was stupid to wander around not knowing if you want to eat something but looking for something to eat regardless and then rejecting the options, which only resulted in The Walk not getting started and us walking around in circles and I can't even express it in words, but nothing we were doing made sense and it was frustrating).
I am now self-medicating with more explosions and chocolate. Apparently they're thinking of canceling Human Target which, well, everyone saw coming, but it just got good again, damnit. *does the angry panda*

Date: 2011-01-14 04:26 pm (UTC)You tell me, because I got nothing! *stares at Sherlock dejectedly* I literally yelled you've gotta be kidding me (in English, ahaha) at the computer at the end of the third episode because WHY SO EVIL, CLIFFHANGER :'D But anyway, I really loved the friendship-maybe-maybe-a-bit-more between Sherlock and John. I mean, not like that's a big surprise to you or anything, but they are just so adorable that I CAN'T EVEN. Aaand John reminded me a great deal of the Russian series Watson (1979) complete with the godawful sweater and all. *grins* All in all, I think I like this 2010-version John best, though. (Except for maybe Wilson, though he doesn't really count. Although it did make me think back to the old times, when House was still interesting and fun, ff. ) It's amazing how different the feel of the characters is in comparison to the RDJ-Jude Law OH MY GOD SO MUCH UST rendition, and I LOVE THEM ALL TO PIECES. ♥
The Soloist is wondefullll and you should definitely put it on your fabulous list! (Though I haven't watched it now after all, after Sherlock nothing can ever be good again. At least for a day or two. *grins*)
I'm sorry your day sucked (again)! I continue to be confuddled by absolutely everything your mother does. :/ *offers you huggles and kisses and love* Wish I could be there with you now, darling. :(

Date: 2011-01-14 05:00 pm (UTC)I love how Sherlock-Watson quietly puts up with so much crazy from Sherlock, and only like, rolls his eyes at the head in the fridge. They're so cute together. My favorite bit about the show? The on-screen text. It's brilliant and awesome and I loved it to tiny little bits. The scene where Sherlock's going through his mental map of London to catch the taxi was ♥
My day has vastly improved due to Human Target's latest episode being made of OMG WIN. Seriously. The psychopathic hitman on the team ended up in jail, so there was a lot of fighting and chin-up (why hell-o there!) and they finally addressed Season 1's hint at the character's back story (squeeeeee) and there was boy-bonding. I am a happy, happy little panda. Penguin. Something.
*smiiiiiiiishes you a lot*
no subject
Date: 2011-01-15 03:52 pm (UTC)Oh god, yes, the on-screen taxi was brilliant! And Sherlock's obession with texting, aahaha! It made me fall in love with the series just so much more. ♥ (It actually reminded me a bit of Zombieland, I think they did that thing with the text as well. Anyway, awesomeness!) However, I think what I loved the most was the Moriarty-Sherlock face-off at the end and the little panicked glances Sherlock kept throwing John's way as if to say are you okay. And then that cliffhanger! *fistshake*
I'm glad your day was improved by Human Target being a gooood show. And boy-bonding! You know I always approve of that! :D
*loves you forever*
no subject
Date: 2011-01-15 04:22 pm (UTC)Boy bonding is especially awesome when they're rugged hitmen who're turning away from a life of crime and have a ~*history*~ together. :D

Date: 2011-01-15 07:32 pm (UTC)* Well, at least Wilson and his ex-wife broke up. IT WAS A BRILLIANT. (Ahem. *grins sheepishly*)
no subject
Date: 2011-01-15 08:43 pm (UTC)Well, at least Wilson and his ex-wife broke up. - I don't even watch the show and I saw that coming because this is Wilson we're talking about, who can't hold onto a girl even if he were super-glued to her. But the more important question is, "Is House/Cuddy still happening?"

Date: 2011-01-15 09:28 pm (UTC)...have you watched True Blood yet? That'll get you out of the Sherlock funk. Especially the first season, which is all about the hot naked guys and the Cliffhaners of Doom (seriously, this is not a show to watch in real time). *piiiimps*
no subject
Date: 2011-01-15 09:56 pm (UTC)End of the OTP? Bite your tongue! Never! >:D HOUSE/CUDDY SHALL NOT PASS. Don't get me wrong, I like Cuddy as well, but, as said, the whole storyline seems just so halfhearted and listless to me, I can't find it in me to enjoy it one bit – ack, I don't know. *throws hands in the air* And I refuse the notion that this antipathy is just because nothing but House/Wilson can exist in my brain.
Anyway, I'll totally be looking forward to your squee/woe over anything House related. Most of the time, it has been a piece of damn good television (especially season six), so I shall stop my complaining. :D
... are you trying to sell True Blood to me by means of hot naked guys? I am shocked and appalled to learn you think so lowly of me! :D
no subject
Date: 2011-01-15 10:18 pm (UTC)I have no idea when I'll get around to House marathons, but you're not going anywhere, right? ♥ I'll be sure to squee and rant about it all to you when I do.
As for True Blood, I come bearing: Trailer for Season 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHYdJDzNF_E), the awesome Eric and Pam team (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLrIKpYeivM), the zexy dumb jock Jason you can't help but love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvJnE8UaoEw), Lafayette being AWESOME - if you only watch one thing, watch this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ff_6VsRuas) - and his cousin, Tara, likewise being awesome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMOypXPrl_Y).
How's that for pimping?
