Where I sit, I dream for days

Behold!  A music meme stolen from maria_chan!  Mostly so I can link songs and also to get me to update my journal regularly again XD 

Day 01 - My favorite song
Day 02 - My least favorite song
Day 03 - A song that makes me happy

( I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking )

( she doesn't surrender explanations to anyone ) 

( I fashioned you from jewels and stone )


Today's plans - pine and wait for a phonecall from Macy's, organize my new room a little bit, PIZZA, finish Fringe season 1, and schmoop bingo stories. 

I saw Eclipse, which I found genuinely enjoyable whenever Bella was NOT on the screen.  Melissa Rosenburg, the screenwriter for the Twilight movies, does an amazing, amazing job of translating the crap and craziness of the books into something entertaining and at times, reasonable.  It's as if the Twilight novels are being translated by sane people!  What saves it is how it is genuinely funny at times, which you need when you are (a) focusing on a totally absolutely UNREALISTIC tug-of-war romance like Jacob/Bella/Edward's, and (b) going half-assedly at the VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES mythology like Twilight does.   Also, CHARLIE SWAN.   I AM FOREVER ON TEAM BEER N' SHOTGUNS.
 
I laugh so hard at the fail of The Last Airbender too.

zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh

So anxiety is something that always hits me very hard, and that's what's been up with me for the past few days.  (Well, I also badly cut one of my index fingers at work, which has made typing a bit tough and way slow).  I'm incredibly anxious about moving, and about really stupid stuff too.  Like the possibility that my car explodes on the way and I lose everything, and have to use all of my funds to buy a new car to get out there.  Or getting robbed.   Or just underestimating how much money I needed in general, and ending up broke by May and unable to go to Fanime.  Or a thousand other things.  I just have to wait until my excitement overpowers my anxiety again.

This is my last week of full-time work at least, and next week I only work 17 hours.  Hurrah for that at least.  And my coworkers are all incredibly excited for me, which feels nice because I always felt that a lot of them couldn't give a shit about me one way or another.

Anyways, I just chilled out yesterday and filled out tax forms, and today I'm going to mail them out and try to get a few other odds-and-ends sorted out (like laundry, and sorting out my winter stuff from my summer stuff.)  I also hope the Goodwill takes the yarn/fabric I don't want.  Angie and I are going to eat at the downtown tonight, at Apollo Grill, which I always meant to eat at but never got around to XD 

Also, I have not forgotten about Restless Heavens!   Today and yesterday I've been reading A Thousand Miles of Wind, which is probably the most socio-political novel in the series, and taking down a shitload of notes.  Already I found a few major errors in information I had started to assemble on the Wiki, so in April I'll be able to go back and revise, and obviously finish the rest of the major articles.   While Tokyopop's translations are awesome to read while out and on the go, I recommend re-reading using the Eugene Woodbury translations, since he offers extremely helpful language and context notes for every chapter.  More than anything, his resource has been the most helpful to me so far.

Also I've decided that Sou accidentally (...sort of) gets plagued with pineapple trees.  Hee. 


( Meme Questions 12-16 )

AS YOUR REWARD FOR READING THESE THINGS I WRITE, HAVE THE THREE SONGS I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO ON REPEAT CONSTANTLY FOR THE LAST WEEK.

Shark in the Water - VV Brown

Conventional Friend - Cartel

Deep South - Cartel  (I wish this could be a Deon song, some of the lyrics are spot-on, but the LA LA I'M FROM THE  DEEP SOUTH part doesn't fit at all for obvious reasons.  However, I might make a Southern gentlemen character from it XD  For either CoMi or Mystics of Tarot, depending.) 

OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH FOR TODAY, NOW FOR DOING STUFF.
