http://cuteoverload.com/2009/11/23/welcome-aboard-the-qteterrier2/ http://cuteoverload.com/?p=35368 Well, hey there. Hi. I’m your Captain, Captain Stubbing. I’m here to make your cruise as enjoyable as possible. Perhaps we’ll meet on the Lido Deck for a fruit cocktail? Maybe you’ll join me in the Starlight Lounge to watch Charo? Or better yet, a night cap in my quarters…?
It may not be Acapulco, but I’m still my own floating island.

As she passed them, she gave them a shy smile. And when she received a smirk in return, she realized the worst: They were mockingbirds. Roosting over a construction site.
“Hey, chick! Nice flanks – they could kind of use some work, dontcha think? And what kind of flight feathers are those? You know, in some human worlds, they’d call your tarsus a cankle! Anyone ever tell you your rump is bigger than a toucan’s mandible?”

You're awesome, ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) waywardoctagon. You kick ass in so many ways, and getting into the Company series is only a recent way. It was so much fun being able to finally "Yes! Yes! Totally yes!" with someone over all the Lewis/Joseph-Aziraphale/Crowley parallels, and to snicker at( tiny tiny spoiler ).
I'm looking massively forward to squeeing with you over some of the later stuff. Oh god, Latif in "The Young Master"! Labienus in general in Children of the Company! Much other coolness that I can't even mention yet!
We must recruit more *casts thoughtful gaze at zarla* |

Castiel is standing six inches too far inside Dean's personal space, and the two of them are playing intenser-than-thou while Sam fidgets impatiently with the strap of his bag and thinks about how it's a hell of a lot drier inside the car.
The author expertly gives life to the how and why of Castiel's presence in the lives of the brothers. So compelling, it'll trick you into thinking its canon.

Even though we got to the fancypants store late, we still managed to get ourselves a nice free range turkey instead of having to get a Winco one. Pretty good, considering we didn't pre-order, like we did last year. Did all the grocery shopping for our Thanksgiving re-do, but of course managed to forget a few things. Well, there's still time for last minute stuff.
We're watching "The Mutant Chronicles" now. It's bleak and yet boring and everyone is either dead or going to die, but there's so much PRETTY. God, I love the actors! Well, most of them. John Malkovich was really kind of annoying, but his character didn't have too many scenes. Devon Aoki and Anna Walton are just fucking beautiful (and both died while I was writing this post - heh). And I have to admit to a sorry sort of affection for Thomas Jane (the low rent Christopher Lambert), even though he's usually in shitty movies. Ditto for Ron Perlman (well, I'll forgive him anything, because he was on "The City of Lost Children"). So, yeah, we'll probably have to buy it, because even though it's bleak and boring, it's a well made film with gorgeous actors, and we own worse movies for less reason. *coughdeepblueseacough*
All right, back to more transferring of files. [=P Naturally, moving four years of stuff isn't going to be quick or easy. But there's stuff I can do while Odin is grinding away. Like having ice creams! ^o^ |

One big-ass portion of noodles, meat, and Chinese broccoli at a Thai place = four meals for me. Dinner last night, breakfast today, and dinner today, with enough remaining for either breakfast or lunch tomorrow. goddessgoddess, thank T. again for me, would you? And what was the name of that place? It was yummy.
Thinking of plugging iDoser and drifting off with some aural opium. The annual Coast to Coast JFK special is on tonight, but the prefeed is some bullshit about intelligent design. |

Man, the internet is so dead this weekend. [=P And it's weird, switching emails. I'm really not used to Gmail, and not entirely thrilled with it, but if Tay couldn't get my regular email to work, then, well. Yeah.
I'm transferring files via a new 8GB flash drive that Tay got me yesterday. It's a slow process. Downloading things onto the new computer is pretty swift, but loading them from Odin onto the flash drive - yikes! ^.^;; And last night, transferring the BJD folder onto the flash drive off of Odin was an exercise in futility. It was going for 4 hours, at least, and was getting close to halfway done when we finally went to bed at 1:30. So I wake up this morning and it's "done", meaning that there's a message saying there wasn't enough memory on the flash drive to complete the task. =.=;; So I divided up the folder into three and I'm giving it another try. Let's hope it works better this time!
So, frustrations aside, the new laptop is amazing and awesome, and I have a hard time dealing with change, but this is a change for the better, so I'll hopefully adjust quickly. ^_^ I'm in love with the keyboard and mousepad, I have to say. Odin was hanging in there, but it was SO time for an upgrade. Happy Holidays early!! <3
Now I suppose I ought to go and shower and think about getting ready for werk. *sigh* And I really need to pull my scattered consciousness together and try to make some actual use of my new laptop.... It's disconcerting, simply re-reading what I've written, but it's entirely necessary if I'm going to continue the story in a coherent, involving fashion..... Bloo. |

I am a little slammed with end of term papers and projects at the moment. I am reading you all and will get with the comments and things soon.
But...
I'm gonna have to really enforce a week off the journaling services. I have to use what I have of my "holiday break" for getting a foothold before some of this stuff eats me alive. All days will be study days, with the exception of Thursday in which I stuff myself with free turkey and other om nom noms at mom's house.
I hope you all have a good week. Keep up the good journaling. I will need some non-textbook reading for when I come back! ^_^ v

Lovely afternoon/evening with goddessgoddess, T., and S. (who turned out to be a cute longhaired fellow in a fetching paisley skirt). We went to Clay Pit for lunch (dodging all the burnt orange turnout on our way downtown); it turned out they have a lunch buffet on Saturdays as well as during the week. That turned out pretty well, they had saag paneer, lamb korma, and vegetable pakora. Stuffed!
After that goddessgoddess made her desire for warbat known, so we went to Sarah's. They're always fun to browse; T. got some rose syrup, goddessgoddess got eight warbat, and I caved and got a packet of honeydew shisha and a little vanilla sugar (which was really cheap!). The lady behind the counter was once more super friendly and chatty, joking about how I got goddessgoddess addicted to warbat and how I should eat more. If I hadn't been so massively stuffed I might have snagged a falafel or two, they're so good there!
Went back to T.'s for lazy-afternooning. There was checking of emails, Facebook, and the like, and it was learned that I cannot use a nipple mouse. There was sharing of warbat. There was cozy napping and the watching of TV, some current shows I didn't recognize, and the first three episodes of Coupling; I had forgotten how deeply I love that show. And how awesome Susan was in the beginning before she got all domesticated.
Eventually dinnertime rolled around. Dinner was chosen with remarkable ease, and we went to a Thai place. I had a Thai iced coffee, which I haven't had in years. S. had one too.Tasty, tasty drinks, those. My entree was a pork and noodle dish, peppery without being actually spicy, that I ate maybe a third of. Yay leftovers! There was also a dessert of some sort that I tried a bite of. Very sweet and sticky. After, Planet K was investigated, and another pipe shop, with discussion of further explorations, but I realized that I was dead on my feet and regretfully said my goodnights.
So now I am doing my night-time catching up, getting loved on by Molly, and discussing the awesomeness that is Discworld with waywardoctagon before collapsing into sleep. With a very full belly. |

http://cuteoverload.com/2009/11/21/the-lap-shot/ http://cuteoverload.com/?p=35206 People, it’s about time we addressed this.
It’s called “The lap shot.” This image is a great example—we get a beellion submishes of people putting their kitteh/bunneh/pup on their lap and taking a photo. I think it’s time we acknowledge this pose. Officially. It’s like posing next to a log, or posing at the prom.
Welcome to the vernacular, Lap Shot.
