Update

Huh. Can't believe I haven't posted in a year! Have really missed posting but haven't felt up to it. And now it looks like most of the Kool Kids have migrated to Dreamwidth. But that's what I get for dropping the ball. C'est la vie. So what has la vie been like lately? Perhaps a quick list will cover it.

• Thesis? Yup, still not done. But soooooooooo close I can taste it.


• Guilt factor: 11.


• Fall/Winter Fandom of Choice: Fullmetal Alchemist. So much to do to poor work with in the dashing Colonel Mustang.


• Spring/Summer Fandom of Choice: NCIS. o_O!! My first live-action fandom in like 10 FUCKING YEARS! Really not sure what that says about my psyche. All I know is Agent Gibbs really floats my boat. (But what's with all the Stargate crossovers????)


• Re hankering after a man 20 years my senior: WTF? (At least he is younger than my dad...)


• Re feeling amazingly old myself: WTF????
(How did I get to be this old???)

• Number of fics completed since last post: 1. (Two days ago)


• Number of fics started and left to go fallow since last post: 3


• Sense of failure at not being able to complete anything: Massive


• Worry over future of life as a middle-aged spinster with no particular skillz: Super Massive


• Out-of-proportion annoyance currently elicited by:
  
  
  
  • IMDB's new layout
  
  
  • Fanfic writers who do not know that "intact" is one fucking word
  
  
  • People asking me when I will be done
  
  
  • U-turns being pulled in inappropriate places by bad college drivers
  
  


• Things that have managed to make me happy despite my abysmal self-loathing:
  
  
  
  • Pop Culture Happy Hour on NPR (So.Much.Love.)
  
  
  • Guest kitty (who sadly must go home this weekend)
  
  
  • Diving in pitch black water in Florida
  
  
  • Did I mention NCIS????
  
  
  • Occasional texts from Ms. E. telling me she misses me. (Love you, Babe!!!)
  
  
  • The Bones episode The Double Death of the Dearly Departed. Crazy slapstick FTW.
  
  
  • The song "Kandi" by One Eskimo (even though the song itself is not exactly happy...)
    


• Song currently on repeat on my headphones: "Power Trip Ballad" by Maria Mena. (Perhaps the fact that I can't get the line "Do you wanna know why I'm angry" out of my head should tell me something.)


• Financial Stress Factor: let's not go there


• Something that has made me laugh out loud recently: The line "I hated it like it kicked my dog and sent me an invoice." From Linda Holmes on Monkey See blog on NPR.


• Movies I've seen in the theater:
  
  
  
  • The A Team. 3 times. Cannot believe how much I enjoyed this movie!
  
  
  • Inception. Once. Interesting and pretty, but not sure I need another run through.
  
  
  • Scott Pilgrim. Once. Fun, but I wanted Knives and Ramona to end up together at the end and tell Scott to take a hike. :D
  
  


• Movie I am probably looking forward to wayyyyyyy too much for someone my age: Tron: Legacy. Can. Not. Wait.


• Movie I want to watch but know it will make me want to slit my wrists: A Single Man


• General Sense of Panic at Hiding out from Real Life in Movies/tv/tvtropes/etc: 71.8


• Amount of thesis time wasted writing this blog entry: 1 hour 20 minutes.


• Amount of Stress Relief Achieved: 12.4 Hugs
  

Okay, I guess that's enough for now. If anyone actually read this, thanks! *hug* And it's nice to be back. Facebook is nice and all, but here I can be myself and (mostly) anonymous and naughty as I please. Damn, I've missed this place!!

OMG HI!

Hahahaha, thesis. Yeah.

Anyway, I miss you and some other people in CS. A couple. Like 3. And one of those may be a dog. But I am hoping to finish up this semester (hahahaha) so I can do PhD thingies. *hides*

Exciting TV for you? Maybe White Collar, Vampire Diaries is good cheez, and there is an anime of Supernatural coming out. Although, I'm surprised it took that long. When you describe the plot (two brothers who have a cool car and hunt demons, and are also the chosen vessels of Lucifer and Michael for the upcoming Apocalypse) it sounds like an anime.

No way, dude!! I was totally sure you had written me off completely!! Great to hear from you! (I'm with you on the dog, though.) Good luck on the finishing up. It is so frustrating to be so close and know that somehow there is still so much left to do. Like stupid references and figures and crap. I am sure yours will kick ass! :) Do you have a PhD project ready and waiting?

Might have to check out White Collar - I have nothing against roguishly charming art thieves as long as they don't get too smug. Don't think I am ready for vamps yet - hard to take them seriously after Buffy. :D Anime Supernatural?? And considering your description, it definitely sounds like it should have happened well before now! I might have to check it out. Is the real series still going?? It hasn't exploded in a giant angst bomb yet? ;)
