I'm a bit better today, but the past few days have been pretty shitty in the emotional department, all Social Isolation Monkey and Random Crying and Anxiety and Extreme Boredom. Seriously, I've been going crazy.

I've been sunbathing, watching Firefly, and editing old unfinished stories for the anthology I'm working on for my ex-supervisor. Not much else happening apart from the, y'know, mental meltdown.

Oh, and I've petted some cats. That was nice.

God exists, if only in the form of a meme with high survival value*

I went to the beach yesterday, and we all went to the beach today. Still have those damned tan-lines, but I think they're fading. And yesterday I wrote a good bit for the Doctor Who meets Stonehenge Apocalypse crack story, although I apparently tend towards serious and long-winded crack. *sigh*

I'm currently playing Echo Bazaar (Wikidot entry) which is a role playing game that you can only do in short little bursts (i.e. ten actions to a total of 50 per day). It's awesome, though, and this is coming from someone who's most recent experience in role playing games is Pick Your Own Adeventure...back in her wee years. But it takes place in Fallen London, so it's a bit HP Lovecraft and quirky. It's twitter-based (i.e. you log in via your twitter account). The Escapist's review describes it as:

Set in the world of Fallen London, it combines elements of tabletop gaming, Victorian England, RPGs, and social networking. Sporting a cheeky sense of humor and a Lovecraftian vibe, the game combines the addictiveness of grinding with an unusual and compelling story elements. While its browser-based gameplay is certainly quite entertaining, Echo Bazaar's real appeal lies in its robust mythology and surprisingly deep backstory, which you discover bit by tiny bit as you play. The world of Fallen London is a joy to explore, a weird and wonderful playground where clay men wrestle in pubs and you pay for your lodgings with cryptic secrets.

Come on, join up! I'll invite you over for tea or on a bank heist or whatever it is I can invite you to. Or don't, whatever, I'm just sharing the fun.

Did I mention I have a weasel? Yes I do :D

And again with the meme-as-content. Because the other option is to tell you how I opened a coconut using only a hammer and a mini-flathead screwdriver in twenty minutes [ETA: By which I mean, I totally made that ~~cococunt~~ coconut where did that typo come from, Frued?!? my prison bitch, and had it cracked open and completely gutted in twenty minutes) or how I'm currently re-translating everything at Internship into Spanish, which results in boredom and brief escapades into wikipedia where I learn about sky burials and The Thing and The Invisible Pink Unicorn.

Also, is 20 songs too long for a fanmix?

Fandom Rambles

1) I've read meta saying how people keep forgetting that Dean is Michael's sword first and foremost, not Michael's Vessel, not Micahel-in-potentia. The meta -

amonitrate's Daddy's Blunt Little Instrument (And Other Thoughts) - then went on about how Dean has always been - or seen himself as - a tool, a weapon. And now he's heaven's weapon.

The dialogue that made me go, "Duh! Facepalm!" about that:

ZACHARIAH: Michael's not gonna kill me!
DEAN: Maybe not, but I am!

And then Dean stabs him with the angel sword. Dean, Michael's Sword, kills Zachariah. This is a bit like, "Guns don't kill people, people do!" except where the gun is the sword is Dean and the people is Michael.

2) All that Meta on the use of red and blue (and now green) in Supernatural by

zimshan (here) got me thinking about this moment with the firecrackers. Dean's face is lit red when he's looking to the sky - heavenward - and then is lit green when he looks at Sam whose face is now red and looking up to the sky. Up to heaven is red for both Winchesters, down to Sam from Dean is green. What does this mean?!?

3) In the Sookie Stackhouse novels (see also: True Blood), there's a bartender called Sam ( and there are spoilers and talk of Supernatural )

4) Continuing my love affair with Grey's Anatomy, I'm shocked and disappointed to a) read about the dismissals and the drama and b) see that Sandra Oh has been nomintated five years in a row for an Emmy. Five. And no win? Come on already, people! She's brilliant! Just give it to her already!

Finding myself making every possible mistake.*

Today's work on the thesis was very much like banging my head against a wall. Progress is measurable only in snail, slug, sloth or plant communities. Every few seconds I had to go bother the prof who's holding my hand through the whole Access and ArcGIS learning experience, and to make matters more aggravating, the program was fond of giving me the finger (which in program speak is "I can't find the tools you just installed!" or "Oop! Memory error! We gotta shut down the program!" or "Aha! I have tricked you with my multiple tabs!"). Woe.

In other news, I bought makeup. Not for any noraml reason, but rather for Halloween. You know, to get dressed up although I have nowhere to go dressed up, or anyone to go with. (Partly because I fail and haven't called anyone. Okay, that's probably a big reason.) Also I am not lame enough to go about my day dressed up, October 31st notwithstanding. Items include white water-based theatrical thingy (for that "Look! I'm dead!" look), shimmery eyeshadow (because I will both embrace and mock Twilight by fucking sparkling), a kohl stick (apparently necessary for "the goth look") and red lipstick (the kind of red I'd call "Harlot"), which is actually making me squee on general terms because I've never had red lipstick. Add plastic canines, and you've got my usual Halloween constume. (Except for last year, where I was a gypsy, because I couldn't whip up anything else.)

Life as an angel condom. That's real fun.*

Today's been pretty quiet: woke up late, groceries, lunch-lunch (as opposed to my weekly fare of snackified-lunch), internetting... I also spent four hours going through and chucking out two boxes of stuff, dragged out from underneath the bed. Ye gods, did I have random and useless papers stowed away. (I may be keeping a few of these papers, because I am, at heart, a pack-rat.) I also had coffee, which made me feel energetic for a while, but then the magic devolved into nausea and stomach pain. It's still going strong. Bleh.

I finished Kung Fu Dunk yesterday (YouTube is awesome!). I really liked the movie, although it's not anything amazing, story-wise. Aw hell, I loved the movie. What's not to love? It's funny, has all sorts of martial arts ass-kicking ranging from the hilarious to the gorgeous, an adorable leading man, and, while being partly about basketball, doesn't fall into a sports-movie slot.

I watched Supernatural 5x01 yesterday, and I swear, I have never giggled, sporfled, laughed and paused-and-ranted so much whilst watching one. ( A few spoilery comments. )

I've got Carrie as this weekend's horror movie. A bit excited about it because it's got all this hype and I'm finally watching it, but I'm not expecting anything spectacular.

There's an international student party at a disco in Leiden tonight - starting in half an hour - but I don't have anyone to go with, still feel like I'm going to hurl on my shoes and, most importantly, don't feel like going at all.

Wowza, I've been social this week! ( Read more... )

I've got socks and a bathrobe on whilst in bed, so you can say it's getting a mite cold. But! I've rented White Noise 2: The Light because a) Saturday-night horror movie tradition and b) Nathan Fillion. I noticed the rental place has Carrie and The Exorcist, so that's the next two weeks covered.

So things are looking quite bright lately, despite the office computer still occasionally eating my work and my upcoming meeting on Tuesday with my supervisor. This week I went running 9in the damn rain) and swimming and my eating habits are still wonderfully under control (except today) so the scale is being progressively nicer to me. I also watched The Hangover (meh) and District 9 (too short clips for too long a documentary stint, amusing South African accents, crazy Nigerians, awesome aliens, oh good gods solidiers are horrible, how the hell do people understand the aliens, sweaty and desperate desk folk on the run are sorta sexy and, aww, itty bitty alien).

My Links of the ~~Day~~ Week list is huuuuge so I'm just going to leave that for slow work days. (Also, my computer's being an ass with the internet, saying it can't open the page sometimes, despite playing YouTube or opening pages on another tab just fine.)

Edit: Except I can't now because I never learn not to do Copy text B when I just Cut text A and haven't Pasted text A yet somewheres safe. *curses* I'll get most of them back.

What are the 2093 problems I skipped to get to this one?*

Spent the morning struggling with the ArcGIS part of the report. Basically, what that means for today is that I spent all my time staring at the manual a professor made (for a course they held in Nairobi, which I always thought I could so have used attending).

The manual is super clear for the first few pages, saying how to copy-paste, even, and then *poof* suddenly I'm staring at windows thingking, "How the fuck did you get there? What button?!?" Also, I was thoroughly stumped by Notepad, couldn't import data, then had to struggle with Textpad fpor a while. (Oh gods, "struggle with textpad"- makes me sound so computer illiterate. Look, Ctrl-F wasn't working, ok?!?)

I even sent a "Halp!" email to the professor, and he kindly came over as soon as he got it. Trouble is, his suggestion was to do it all over again. Then he spent some time just reading the manual at me, beccause that makes things so clear. Look, I've done that step already! Yes, I can read. But no, he's nice and all that jazz. I just didn't understand half of what he was saying. Like the manual, he tends to over explain simple concepts and then just leap over complicated things. "Oh, right, so of course I can't rename tables because then that would undo the queries - wait, what?"

So that made me feel like a wibble. ( There's more where that came from. )

Entry tags:

Without music life would be a mistake.*

Finding a Chinese Rap/Rock song you only know by ear - and have heard only twice, and once was at a festival - is quite a task... Actually, it's incredibly frustrating.

Artists such as THP Family, Vivi (Haidao), D Evil, Hi Bomb (黑棒), Dragon Tongue (龙门阵) and Yin Tsang (隐藏) are leading the genre and gaining popularity with young people on the Mainland. [...] Other popular artists and groups include Dai Bing, MP4, Kungfoo Impulsion (功夫冲动), Sha Zhou (沙洲), and the now-disbanded LMF.

Why there isn't a chart of Chinese hits somewhere baffles me somewhat, because I have faith in the internet. However, Great Firewall of China and all that...

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.*

Today seemed to be an exercise in masochistic tourism. I did go to Noordwijk - whci takes ages, what with the walking to the train, the actual train, and a 40-plus minute bus ride.

It was 4 degrees C and extremely windy. Like, "pushing you backwards" windy. Walking in this weather was wonderfully exhilerating - even though I looked like a crazy woman - and I really did enjoy it. Until I had to turn back and it began to rain. Freezing cold raind pelted at you at high speeds whilst you struggle agaisnt the wind is a different kind of exhilerating.

Also? The beach was closed (wtf?!) as was the awesome pancake house I'd been aiming for. The result was me, wet and cold, wandering around a near-empty town, having a disapointing pancake in another place, and then waiting half an hour in the pouring rain and wind and wee degrees for the bus back to Leiden.

I took all my entertainment books too (notebook, diary and novel), but since there's no place to just sit - and the beach was closed, did I mention? - I only managed to scribble down "Pancakes!" in my diary and giggle as the mispeling vyrus took hold of Thursday's world.

Suckety suck suck.

Tomorrow's February, so I'm officially starting my internship - though I really don't want to 'cause it's Friday an' all and my superviser hasn't emailed regarding the forms. I might get my ass down to a cinema here in Den Haag, now that I've finally discovered one. I'd like to watch Lust Caution, but my Mandarin isn't up to par (unless the entire movie dialogue is a string of imaginative insults) and I frown on reading Dutch subtitles.

I might try to track down The Princess Bride Diaries... That's that funny one, with the narrator-commentary book one, yeah?

Due to incredible boredom at work today, I've been reading proverbs, which proved to be inspiring, fanfic-wise. Unfortunately, this only confirms my problem with writing: shadowey ideas aplenty, but no plot.

The current mess of ideas, then, is a series for OUaTiM** using proverbs as chapter-titles. Probably due to the few OUaTiM fics I've been reading, I'm getting a hazy image of betrayal in the CIA and Sands having to stand up for himself. Not that that's a stretch of the imagination, if his options are taken logically. Besides, he was seriously left out to dry. Seems to me there may be a few grudges all around.

Have just watched the latter half of the documentary Someday My Prince Will Come about a teen girl in the working-class town of Siddick and her Liebeskummer* with Ben and other of the kids at school. Very sweet.

Forgot to say that yesterday watched Lisistrata which had an interesting concept and wasn't half as bad as the review at IMDB says.

Also watched some show jumping, the FEI, this afternoon, and thrilled to see the Netherlander Schroder on Eurocommerce Berlin do a clear round after the two before him knocked off the same jump. He wasn't top, though.

Needless to say, I was envious. Last time I rode was mid-2001.

And every time I remember that my school kept my CAS diary where I wrote, in great detail, what I did every riding class...

Grr.
