I've Got My Hands Up So Take Your Aim

Finally catching up!



In my fridge



I finally went shopping on Friday but LOL to the three bottles of wine - none of which did I buy that day. You will also notice I have plenty of condiments/dressings/whatnot in the door, but not much to go with it in the actual fridge! This is the life of a busy single person who doesn't like making messes to cook all that often.

Earliest Memory
I'm not sure if this is a recreated memory - as in, I've heard the story enough that I have fit all the visuals together - but when I was a lil over two, we moved from a two-bedroom apartment to the house we lived in for the next two decades. I remember walking out with my mom, holding her hand, but stopping at the door to the apartment, looking at the empty living room, and waving and saying goodbye to it.

Strangely enough, I have a memory of us having a dark-haired cat when I was a wee one in the house, but I recently asked my mom about it and she says the first pets we had as kids were guinea pigs, which we got when I was about 5-6. Weird.

If I won the lottery
I would pay off all debt, give my parents and family some money, and buy a nice place. I would likely still work, but maybe actually take the paycuts that scare me in order to get a better, more enjoyable job.

( Totally random notes on my weekend, including kitter pics and documentary recs )

Days lately keep drifting away from me even when I know I'm supposed to be doing something, like wishing big_heart_june a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY <333333333333 Your username is exactly you - very big hearted. Your love and support cheers up/on so much of fandom, I can't imagine being here without you ♥!

I know that June and I have a lot of common interests, including henley!Dean :DDD



( as much as I could possibly track down, which is never enough )

IDK how many of you remember when I created this graphic of Shep versus a giant Maine Coon when the kitters were only three months old?



Well, here he is from last night, now nine months old.



SHEPMONSTER IS GETTING BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG.

I was scrolling on Facebook via my phone, and as I recently 'liked' some Jensen Ackles-Dean Winchester group, I see a gazillion pics of him there. Including this gem. On my phone, I couldn't tell it was 'shopped, and now I obviously can. BUT WHY CAN'T IT BE REAL.



LE SIGH.

I don't even know what to prompt, but I want lotsa fic based just on the countryboy look :DDD

Speaking of fic, I got up to 6k on my Big Bang, which is admirable, considering I was out for most of yesterday and have had a headache most of the weekend thanks to too much weekday coffee and too little on the weekends. Hrmph.

I went and saw Jack the Giant Slayer in 3D last night and it was AMAZING. And a definite mood boost (as was the meds finally kicking back in). I adore Bryan Singer for his wonderful work on The Usual Suspects and the X-Men movies, and the trailer just looked so fun and exciting that I've been looking forward to this movie for a long while now. I am beyond satisfied that it did not disappoint. I loved everyone, literally, and this never happens to me; I almost always find someone to not really enjoy. The bad guy was great and bad, the good guy was great and good, the royalty was magnificent. The visuals were amazing, the story was interesting, I only had one minor issue with technicalities in the story (hah, one is very low for me), and I rather enjoyed the world they created here.

But you know what I think I enjoyed best?



( Ewan McGregor's Hair )

My brother sent me this link to Sharp Suits, which is a collection of posters illustrating the worst feedback a group of ad designers have ever received. The entire collection is cracking me up, but especially this one:



To which I said: IS THAT YOU SAM WINCHESTER? His hair IS polarizing!

Relatedly, I just legit typed his last name as Whinechester and I think that adds a whole new perspective to the show :D

For those of us who need a pick-me-up, this travesty exists.



Concentration has left me. I just ... cannot. And I really, really, really need to concentrate to make tomorrow's deadline.

Except.

He's just so ... pretty and happy and eyecrinkly and scruffy :DDD

My laptop totally died Monday and wasn't charging anymore, so I took it into Best Buy. They're sending it out for service and it'll be two to four weeks D: They obviously do not understand the needs of fangirls. As such, I'm left with having to cart my work laptop to and from work, which does not make me happy just for the added weight in my bag.

Also, work has blown up - it's trying and overwhelming, yet also kind of gratifying as my assignments are aligned with the areas I want to push into, and I think I'm satisfying the people I'm working with, with what I'm doing. So, yay for work stuffs(?).

Related to both of these things, I've been falling behind on ficly duties, especially The Agent & the Analyst. I do have polybigbang really pretty near-done to post on Friday, and I have mental plans for spn_j2_xmas. I just have to find time/motivation as I'm pretty tired and frustrated by the time I get home.

However, whenever I come home, I have two li'l buddies to welcome me :D And then I have the added amusement of thinking of how big Shep really will get. He's obviously got some Maine Coon in him, and earlier this week, my boss noted that they tend to get up to 40lbs. I kinda freaked and just laughed hysterically because OMG WHAT IF HE DOES?!



In other news, I am watching Food Network's Next Iron Chef: Redemption and I totally loved Spike and Marcel's bromance. AND THEN THEY HAD TO COOK AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR THE SECRET INGREDIENT SHOWDOWN. I ALMOST LOST IT. But RAR I love Spike. BONUS HENLEY!!!

And related to competition shows, can we have a law against singing Adele songs in any singing show? I don't care how you ~refashion it, it's still never good enough. Ugh.

BLAME PATTON OSWALT BECAUSE HE RETWEETED EW'S:

'Justified': @pattonoswalt as Constable Bob Sweeney -- FIRST LOOK http://ow.ly/ftN27

AND I WENT ALL FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BECAUSE!



HENNNNNNNNNNNNLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!

LULZ, Patton told EW his character is "a guy that basically sorta wants to be Raylan Givens [Timothy Olyphant], but is not, which I think most men can relate to." I can't stop laughing at the way I hear Patton saying that in my head.

Christ, now I wanna go home and rewatch Justified from the beginning. Or at least S2 because it's my favorite. Or I could finally finish S2 of Damages so I stop getting spoiled on major character drama when googling for screencaps of Timothy looking gorgeous in leather jackets. And yes, that photo is crap, which begs the question: How has no one produced good-quality Damages screencaps? The only ones I saw were out of proportion. Sigh.

( But then holy, Timothy Olyphant and Jensen Ackles! )
