Ducks: Queen of Frickin' Everything

For those of you who are new to the madness that is Ducks, Tuesday is my BAD DAY. It was back when I used to work full time, and it has yet to redeem itself since. I call Tuesday my Bane. I HATE Tuesday.

Okay, that's a little dramatic. Today was just kind of bleh. But still, it's TUESDAY'S FAULT.

Hahahaha. Okay, as it turns out, sLut the Magic Dragon is a male. And so, his name will therefore be James T. Kirk. Say hello, James! (Actually, it's JimmyTKirk, because some actual Trekkie beat me to James T.)

MEME! I was tagged by bradeatspeeps, who would be the first person I would tag, and so now I have to rethink MY tag list, dammit!

First: If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new question.

Second: Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.

Everybody's so busy lately! I tag vivier, fangbanger4eric, goddessrockgeek, little_linds, lunar47, stormiejs, lizardjee, and ragdolll.

My full time job for the past couple of days has become AVOIDING any and all posts about the Supernatural and True Blood Panels at ComiCon. I do not want to be spoiled for the rest of this season of TB AT ALL, so if you saw it in that video clip, or heard it in the panel, please don't mention it around me or on trueblood_squee without AMPLE warning! Please. *G*

Of course, I'm very generally spoiled about Supernatural (vague season direction, casting, etc. I know there are ( Read more... ) but I don't know the details. With SPN, I don't mind so much getting a little spoiled -- it's the journey that's fun. But with True Blood, baby, I will EAT YOUR FACE if you spoil me. The shocks, twists and turns on this show are half the fun (the other half being my favorite characters, of course. Hi Eric! Hi!).

Anyway. /whine

Ugh. Did I say I was done whining? Because apparently, I'm not. I went to my two doctors' appointments today, and have MORE medication I have to take and MORE tests that have to be run, none of which have anything to do with my current Crohn's issues. It was 80 billion degrees with 500 percent humidity out today, and when I got home, I took my new nasal spray (which seems to really work, btw), and now I am ZOMBIE LIKE. I wanted to get some writing done or SOMETHING, but... I just don't see it happening. I should at least scrawl down some words, I can fill out the flesh tomorrow.

But man, who thought a nasal spray could make you all bablbalbalblalblblbl? (It's Astepro, for anybody who's curious.) I'll spare you more Medical TMI until I have something definite to share.

Now that they're all grown up, I want to consider mating. The only female is Jessica, the first red. Should I mate her with one of the pink guys, or Swirly, the green guy, or her own kind, sLutty JimmyT?

I am in sad shape today, kids. For the FIVE MILLIONTH TIME in my life as a Dell laptop owner, the power cord has shat the bed on my laptop, and now I have no access to the material on the hard drive (unless I feel like pulling it out and plugging it in to an external hard drive rig) until I can get a new one. I'm using my parents' system right now, which has an AMAZING monitor, but the processor is so slow, you can't really watch videos online (except short ones like the above).

So my planned THREE femslash stories for the weekend may end up only being ONE femslash story, and the hot icons I made for it are currently inaccessible. *sigh* My family is cursed, ya'll. Srsly.

DRAGONS!

I'm feeling so out of it today. I think the sleep thing... um... lack thereof... is finally starting to take a toll other than a mental one. I've got a sore throat, and I feel so lethargic and sore I can hardly function. Plus I'm feeling sort of depressed and just generally yuck. It's one of those days when I sit down to do something, but I can't really focus enough to get anything done. And I worked really hard last night before bed getting all of my current projects together, figuring out where I am and where I need to be, so I could sit down today and start planning to actually get something done.

Yeah, well, all that's come out of that is a nice pile of paper and the sense that I can't get anything done. I'm so tired, I just want to go back to bed. *sigh*

You know it's a bad day when a good LOLCat barely gets a chuckle out of you.

But at least there was a chuckle. Oh gods, will no one cheer me up?

I need more coffee. And sunlight.

I was just going to avoid the news entirely today, as it's just as depressing as everything else. More so. Earthquakes, financial markets collapsing, political bullshit. But I did find one positive thing, a sign that sometimes justice can prevail decades after a hideous crime takes place.

Man, 92, to be deported for aiding Nazis.

The story itself is horrible, of course. I mean, we learned about these horrors in school. We hear stories of them among our friends and family. But reading about them, seeing people finally brought to justice for their part, makes it real in a way that no history book or TV special ever could.

~

So, I have a question. Does anybody on ANY of my friends' lists find the Cavemen from the Geico commercials amusing? At all? I'm still flabbergasted that they greenlighted a SERIES about them. I bet they don't make it past the pilot, 'cause dude. It's just not funny. I find them so annoying now that I can't remember if the original joke ever was funny!

Man, the IJ server sure is robust today! I'm actually impressed that it's held up as well as it has over the past week, considering the load it's had to pick up! In the literal and metaphorical sense. *G* I have to say, I really love it here so far. squeaky and insanity are the shit, and they really busted their butts to make us feel welcome. They went out of their way to make sure our questions get answered, our issues addressed, and our concerns smoothed over. What other service would bother? Of course there's no guarantee that things will stay this friendly and open forever -- I mean, I'm sure squeaky won't be able to run this place by himself forever, and the more chefs stirring the pot... well, the closer you get to being Live Journal. But for now, I feel comfortable here. The only downside I've seen is that my friends are scattered all over the place, and I'm having a hard time keeping up with two friends' lists on top of everything else I have to do.

But I have to say, feeling like my freedom of expression is safe for the time being is well worth the small hassle of trouble keeping track of things. *snuggles Insane Journal*

I'm slowly working on paring my LJ back to basic status, getting rid of icons (which HURTS -- so far I've only been able to pare down to 33, and I need to get down to SIX) and trying to figure out what format and mood theme I'll use so I can continue cross-posting. I will also be closing down my communities there -- or actually, leaving posts informing people that all activity will be moving to my communities on IJ.

I think from now on you should just add a default lament about the pain and agony of dial-up from now on, kay? *G* I've gotten kicked off at least four times today, at the most inopportune moments. *sigh* Alas. To make myself feel somewhat better, I'm going to begin working my way through the complete Monty Python's Flying Circus collection, which I haven't done in at least a year or two.
