I had a pretty bitchin day, actually. I got OMG SO MUCH writing done. I got about 600 words on one paper (which was, uh, all of it) and 700 on other (for me, in one day which is not the day before it is due, this is a lot- it equates to about five pages). I also banged out the first (I say the first, because it is the first I have written, though a lot of it is from the end) 500 words of my [livejournal.com profile] thelittlebang fic.

I also got some leisure reading done, although I'm not sure I'm going to finish the book (An Arsonist's Guide to Writer's Homes in New England) right now; it seems good, I just don't know if it's what I'm feeling right this second. It is less funny and more sad than was advertised. I may hang onto it until after my bioarch paper is done and give it another go then.

Huh. Apparently LibraryThing's new widget says there is a high probability I won't like it. Perhaps I will go and read a romance novel or something and come back to it. I may be too all over the place at the moment to read anything that prompts me to have thinky thoughts. Or maybe I'll just go read a whole lot of Daniel/Sam/Jack porn (it is the truest of the OT3s, and if you say otherwise I will strike you down. I'm like a Jaffa, only I serve Daniel/Sam/Jack).

...Okay, right, sorry, too much time in the library and too much SG-1. This is my last day of happiness; for that I am rather sad, paradoxically, because it has been good and happy and nice posting a happy thing every day.

PS: Crafty people: what should I cross-stitch next? I am making a wee snowman what I found in my sock drawer, but he is sort of boring and full of more half-stitches than one snowman can possibly need and soon to be finished. I thought about doing a chart of the stargate, but then I realized that I just really didn't want to do all that blue. ETA: Awww, but I might have to do a little Earth symbol, because it is sort of adorable and will take ten whole minutes. But this? This is a little too hardcore, even for me.

OH! Maybe I could chart the Atlantis mission logo. That might be sexcellent.

Re: AmazonFail: I've been tweeting about it rather than posting over here, and will probably continue to do so. So, let me just say:

1. "Why Easter Sunday?" is my question. Did they think all us homos would be at church with our families and wouldn't notice? Or maybe taking our children on Easter egg hunts?

2. Amazon Rank.

And so, on to happiness.

Though I, again, failed to work as I originally meant to, I did get things done. I made some excellent pasta sauce, following the recipe that [livejournal.com profile] zhukora1's and my fantabulous roommate Joanna taught me many moons ago. I also got a good bit of writing done on this AU I've been working on. I was kind of stalled out on it, which was kind of a shame because I really, really dig the concept. But today I realized that half my original premise was crap; once I threw that out and started thinking about it like an alternate version of "Vegas", life was good again.

I may be more excited about the ancillary stuff than the actual story, because this 'verse is the perfect opportunity for worldbuilding and and academic humor and cameos and mock documents. I'm so in love with the bit of in-universe frippery I did today that I'm tempted to post it before I even finish the story.

But now, to finish Atran and translate some Nahuatl and perhaps write a paper about Crater Lake and definitely NOT reactivate my CoH account until after finals, so that I feel better about myself.

There was actually a lot of happymaking today, even though I got hardly anything I intended accomplished. I started the day out in the bath reading In Gods We Trust for theory- which, if you can get beyond the irretrievably stupid introduction, where the author does a horrible job of presenting his arguments, is actually a pretty compelling read. He also quotes Rodney Stark several times, just as the last book we read did, and I have a quiet little sporfle every time I read it.

Then I went out and had a preponderance of Thai food. OMG. So good. I got a salad; I was unaware that their definition of salad is a big plate of meat with a couple of tomatoes in it. I was totally okay with it.

When I got back to my apartment, the lady who parks next to me in the garage was getting into her car, and she rushed over and introduced herself, then proceeded to talk at me for like fifteen minutes. I had my very first "No, ma'am, I'm not that kind of doctor" moment; she still told me all about her nephew the resident anyway. It was kinda weird, but she was just so precious and nervous and old money that it was also kind of adorable.

Then I came upstairs, made a cake that ended up being mauve (not that I'm complaining, it's Easter after all), and wrote porn. Hopefully, there will be more on this subject later. I have this horrible inability to finish things lately.

We don't take holidays off around here; my school doesn't even observe Labor Day. So I dragged my ass to Nahuatl this morning... and then I decided I just didn't feel like working any more.

So I came home and had a glass of whiskey and watched SG-1 and had a nap. It was good times- probably the last good times I'll have before finals are out, but it's all going to be over in 4 weeks come hell or high water.

It also pleases me to rant at the internets; because I have been told such things are amusing, you can listen to me bitch about SG:U, BSG, and why I hate Star Trek so bad. It may be a little wonky, because of my cheap microphone which has no pop filter ARGH, but enjoy anyway.

I also include the text, which is not as funny, probably, but definitely more coherent. Read more... )

You know what makes me happy? Con videos on youtube!





And speaking of cons, all these epic emails I keep getting from mah fangirls about Dragon*Con (wherein we will, apparently 1) have an orgy 2) chase people around with nets 3) become like unto ever Mulder/Scully fic ever) amuse me to no end.

The cafeteria had rosemary potatoes today. I would not normally be jumping up and down about potatoes, but these ones are ORGASMIC. I'm pretty much convinced they just boil them in butter. And they're nicely salty, without too much rosemary. And I was really, really hungry, which helped.

Seriously, guys, these were some fine-ass potatoes.

And now, back to sacrifice.
