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!!

Thanks for the hug and good wishes! Hope all is well with you.

FMA was pretty darned good, I agree. And for once a series ended in a way that didn't piss me off! :) I was very satisfied with the ending (the manga/brotherhood ending, not the original anime ending...). If you have any recommendations for another good series, let me know. I feel at lose ends without a series to follow. (Of course I check back in on Bleach every few months, but it's mostly just idle curiosity at this point, not serious commitment.) NCIS is definitely worth it - not that I'm biased or anything! ;)

Definitely not enough hours in the day for all the junky tv out there waiting to be devoured! But I have faith that we will prevail! ;)
