Okay, so I think I finally have my voice back and can call this blasted cold over with. Okay, so voice is 100% back to normal yet, but it's at about 80-90% which after so long without feels like it could be all there.

Anyway, I thought I would pull up an old shipping meme because I like those so much.

Name a fandom and I will give you my top three pairings and a little reason why.

1) Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there (mine doesn't do lj so I have to actually tell her that).

2) Still sick, bleh. Mending but not talkative yet.

3) I'm apparently in the mood to try and do some picspam recaps/reviews of this again, it's been a while but I want to. So if anyone has specific requests I'm in the mood to recap:

Doctor Who (seasons 1-4.5, I'll probably get to s5 eventually but not yet)
Robin Hood
Ugly Betty (I'm going through a phase with the show ending)
Battlestar Galactica
Stargate SG1 (not so in the mood to do SGA unless an ep is suggested that I really could get into...and I'll get to SGU one day probably)
Glee / Community (my two new favorite shows)

So suggest eps to picspam/recap and I'll probably do them.

In case any of you were wondering I've basically been sick for the last two weeks now. I hate being sick which is why I'm glad I don't get that way very often but when I do I always seem to get like the plague to make up for it. I mean, my parents have had the same crap (at least in theory) but they didn't skip more than a couple days of work last week when the symptoms were worse; me, I guess I'm better in a lot of ways but I've been essentially mute for the last four days now; even if I had a job that would make it pretty difficult to get anything done.

I can't tell if the fact that I'm still coughing a fair bit is connected to the fact that I can't talk above a whisper. Seems logical they would be connected, but while enough meds will keep the cough under control my voice has just gone and fled the scene.

Anyway...I guess keep me entertained f-list, make me feel like I won't be sick forever with this crap.

Okay, so yesterday it seems I clicked on something I shouldn't have, I'm still not sure how, but it happened. So after fighting with trying to get rid of it for the rest of the afternoon I said "screw it, in seven years I've never reinstalled the OS on this thing, maybe it's time."

And the rest of the story )

In memory of family and friends who have lost the battle with cancer; and in support of the ones who continue to conquer it! Post this on your LJ if you know someone who has or had cancer. 93% won't copy and paste this. Will you?

Although there have been other people I knew with or lost to it, this is primarily for my mom who survived.

Okay, so I still haven't watched EoT 2, I just got back last night and didn't even think of it until pretty late so I haven't watched it yet. So I'm still living in my little bubble of denial. Problem is the big stuff I already know did happen, I just haven't seen it happen yet it's like...if Schrodinger's cat was in a clear box or something.

The weekend was fun, that does need to be said.

I think I'll try and do some vidding tonight if I can't convince myself to pull the DW bandage off. I told [livejournal.com profile] lycannoir I would try and make her a vid for her birthday and I have a possible idea. Plus another find from the Christmas travel but for a different fandom so it's just for me. I'm finally getting excited about vidding again so I may try and run with that.

And finally a meme, stolen from most people on my f-list who I need to come up with questions for...

Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general. Favorite character, favorite moment, unpopular opinion, something about a fic of mine... whatever. Wackiness encouraged.

So I'm sure people somewhere in the world have started ringing in 2010 and I'm just getting ready to go off on a wander for the holiday and probably a few days after. So, before I go, I'm wishing all of you a very happy New Years, have fun, stay safe, etc.

I think I'm going to refuse to watch EoT 2 even though I'll be visiting friends who would watch it with me. I just...don't want to watch it with people and it'll wait until I'm home. So if you all are sniffling messes for the next few days I'll be joining you as soon as I can. I'm so not ready for this that waiting actually seems like a reasonable idea.

And now...time for another road trip, it's a serious downside of having Christmas and New Years back to back.

So back from traveling, but we had people over last night so I *still* haven't seen the Doctor Who Christmas special and by the time they left I was tired and didn't think that was a great time to be watching a new (but one of the last) episodes) of DW and my room sucks for watching TV in the daylight so now I have to wait until tonight. If I weren't going out of town for New Years maybe I'd just wait and watch them both at that point but it looks like I am going out of town for New Year's so yeah.

Had lots of fun with family, had considerably less fun with the weather and the hours in the car, ate *way* too much, have lots of new clothes (I'm tempted to take and upload a picture of my new shoes next to the pair they're replacing so you all can understand how badly I needed new shoes). Have no idea if the Doctor Who novel my sister got me will be we'll see.

Got very little writing done for my current project and the hours of listening to music in the car didn't actually give me that many vid ideas sadly (a few but there have been times I've come back from the trip with vid ideas for like 20 songs, this time only maybe 5).

I'm skimming my f-list, but avoiding any potential spoilers for DW, maybe tomorrow I'll skim it again for that.

And finally a meme I'm snagging from [livejournal.com profile] haro

Give me a character and I will tell you:
+ OTP for them.
+ Runner-up pairing.
+ Honorable mention(s).
+ Crack pairing(s).
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't.

After being worried I was going to race my way through the BBH fics, it turns out I'm reading them v.e.r.y. s.l.o.w.l.y. I started out okay, read the first story in a two or three days, and then I kind of stalled. I'm really liking the second story I'm reading but I'm really being slow about it. However in both cases I'm being good and leaving behind a string of comments (I'm often bad at that on fics, but as I modded this challenge I really want to be responsible about leaving feedback.

I've been poking at a couple fic projects since I finished that one, but not a lot to show for it. I've finally gotten back to poking a vidding too, but it's not coming together very quickly.

So I'm also curious about how people do their decorating for the holidays so...

So happy American Thanksgiving everyone. And to the non-American's reading this I still hope you have a good day.

At this point I should probably go and see if I need to help cooking...boo.
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
a) It's not that I'm ignoring Waters of Mars, in fact judging my the amount of f-list chatter I should probably get to watching it it just took a while to get my hands on it.

b) I finally got around to continuing with the 5-questions answers so thins time from [livejournal.com profile] karenor

In which I talk about various personal preferences and then Robin Hood )
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
So self, happy 500th post. :)

And well, not a lot of you had preferences on what I would talk about for my 500th post, so, for those who did here it is.

For [livejournal.com profile] fletcherism thoughts on Harry Potter: )

For [livejournal.com profile] anti_social_itethoughts on Kitty/Robert: )

Plus a little other babble

Yep, that about used up my typing skills for the day. The last couple days my right hand has been really swollen up and I have no idea why. It’s getting better but typing’s a bit difficult with a hand and a half basically. This has been a bad time to happen (not that there ever a great time) as I was already behind on NaNo. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be back to being able to type more and I can try to catch up...some of the amount I’m behind.

Writing

Nov. 5th, 2009 04:25 pm
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
So, so far today I have written a bit over 2,000 words...of BBH fic, not NaNo. Seriously, this BBH fic keeps proving to be longer and longer. However I really am I think finally down to the last couple scenes (well, that and going through the 18,000 words I have after that to make sure I haven't caused any contradictions by writing out of order). Can't decide if I'm going to write them today, or back-burner it until tomorrow and do some NaNo writing.

Also, I went and got a haircut, super exciting I know.

So late afternoon yesterday my left arm suddenly started hurting like hell. I thought I'd just been leaning on it funny while I was reading but it still hurts. Made it really hard to sleep last night since I couldn't move around much without it being painful, much less able to sleep on my left side.

Fortunately it seems like my positions sitting on my bed with my mom's laptop isn't one that hurts too badly so maybe I'll get some writing done. After my awesome writing last week I haven't gotten much done this week.

Let's see, I think I'll revive a meme to give me something else to do on the computer today.

Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.

Just one question (per comment), please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.

Question can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want.

Leave me a comment and I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better. Update your journal with the answers to the questions. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

Further, if you have 5 questions for me, and want to trade questions, I'm totally cool with that! It would be twice as fun!


From [livejournal.com profile] sunnytyler001
1. Where were you born?
2. How old are you and what do you do for a living?
3. Do you have brother and sisters?
4. Christopher Ecclestone or Richard Armitage? Who would you choose and why?
5. Is Ten 2 the Doctor, the Valeyard or the Other?

So, I'm off for a bit. For about a day and a half so if I hadn't told you, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have even noticed, but I felt the need to say it anyway.

But I finally broke down and bought myself a copy of Witchfinders, so I won't go into Robin Hood withdraw by having to wait until Sunday to watch the new episode.

Have a nice weekend everyone (even those of you with nasty splinters).

Back

So, made it back in one piece (it was iffy for a bit). Had loads of fun, just not for as many days as I would have liked. Oh well, win some lose some.

Now off to see if I can find me some Robin Hood.

alright

So *really* am off this time. Not that I think anyone really cares, but since I'd been saying stuff on it yesterday I thought I'd add this before leaving.

FIREWORKS TONIGHT.

Or...not
