state of the being

I'm feeling very detached. Between the new job and the Red Sox back in the World Series, media fannishness hasn't just gone by the wayside; it's been ditched and buried for the duration. Which is to be expected, but that doesn't make me feel any less off.

Detail type things:

* I'm still fighting with LJ and RSS readers. There has been some success; there have been some... It's a good thing, for both it and my toes, that LJ isn't a physical object that can be kicked, that's all I'm saying.

* I didn't get to watch SPN 303 until Tuesday. Heck, it's the only non-Sox thing I've watched, live or otherwise, in almost two weeks, so let's have a big WOO! for watching it happening at all. But then last night was for recovering from a nail-in-the-head headache so I could watch Rockies-whomping (that I am not gloating about, because I've been on the other side too often, but still, \o/), and tonight is for more of the fandom that's pretty much owned my heart from birth. The specific upshot: my goal of getting every picspam done in the week of the episode has failed already. The general upshot: see the opening statement up there.

* I do expect to get back into the swing of things after the World Series stops happening. Then, at least, I'll have a better shot of staying caught up within a week of anything airing. I've also acquired a new USB wireless adapter that lets me steal access the internet while in my own room with its closeable door, and the only reason that I'm not typing that development in allcaps is that I'm afraid to declare victory until it's worked for more than 48 hours.

So, you know, HI. ::waves:: I won't say, "Tell me what you're up to!" because that's not fair, but...you could tell me one good thing that's happened to you in the last week, I'd like that.

eta: So okay, that didn't quite work. I gather the "lj-raw" command needs to come AFTER the commands for userpic and tags? Anyway, I'll try to be back after I have dinner.

I lost some papers I really, really needed to find on Monday. And on Tuesday, I looked again for them where I had already looked and thought they should be, and there they were.

Hi! ::waves::

I posted a recipe for gingerbread cake today, it's very good. ::burps::

Hi! I saw, but couldn't access because of cut-tag! Never thought I'd be cursing those things, but!

Will go find again in real LJ now.

Oh, and this article isn't spoilery, but it's a JA interview with TV guide. (I don't read it as spoilery since I read everything he says in there wrt S3 as stuff that's happened already in S3. I do not know where your line is. *g*)

Anyway, it made me happy. *g*

Well, it's a good thing that I made happen to myself (because everything else this week has been shit), but I now own s2 dS and another evil robot. :D

I'm in total flail that FOX cut away to a commercial instead of showing Yaz's opening pitch. Grrrrr.

Sending you a big smoochy :::hug:::, and yay Sox!

Ps. You're wise to avoid loud celebration until the USB thingy has proven itself. ;)

Oh....a good thing, today was glorious light and blue blue sky and I got a photo of some outrageous leaves that I love. *more hugs*

I heard St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) on the radio, and I thought about sisabet's Matrix vid, and man, I don't even love the vid that much (though it's fun) but I was just grinning remembering how happy it made people. That was nice.
