Really, LJ. That time of the month, again??

First my post about my latest podfic didn't crosspost due to no connection to LJ. Then all of a sudden I cannot post to doctor_tailor because apparently LJ has decided that it wants half my posts moderated. I managed to get one little questioning post in before it wouldn't allow me any more because I already have one post queued. *le sigh* If it stays that way I'll have to track down the moderators somehow.

I'm freakishly tempted to start my own doctor_tailor here on DW instead. It's not like I lack invite codes or anything.

There were other things I wanted to post, but I am now truly cranky. Thanks, LJ, you assbutt.

Poop. Some people in easy-to-spot overalls are digging up the parking lot outside with big machines. I don't know what they're doing, but my internet is slow as fuck. *whine* Also, the hot water is off until 5 pm or so. Good thing I showered yesterday.

I should really do something today. Anything. The apartment is a complete mess and I've been promising myself for weeks to clean up just a little. We'll see how it goes. I'm not keeping my hopes up. Weirdly, I'm better at cleaning when Pea is around. Maybe I prefer company for my torture. Or maybe it's just because it's impossible to fangirl with a 2-year old around.

Finally found me some SPN icons, but only on DW. I still refuse to pay for LJ. After all that dickery and more still rolling in, I am NOT throwing money at them! At least that's what I keep telling myself. There are certain paid features I miss horribly. Like the "view in my style" option. Purple letters on green background?? Really?? Who could possibly think that's a good idea for a large chunk of text? *dies*

In other news, I cannot get my printer/scanner to connect. This pisses me off, because I actually managed a piece of fanart that I kinda wanna share. I may have to be inventive and take a picture of it instead. This might mean more editing in photoshop, but I can live with that.

Still watching a shitload of shows.

Merlin is finally coming back to its old glory from the early seasons and the last episode was pure gold. *hugs it.*
Castle is going strong and amuses me greatly. Although the Castle/Beckett tension is really wearing thin. That arc needs to move on somehow. And soon. I don't care which way it goes, but drawing it out to this extent is getting ridiculous.
NCIS is awesome as always. Never change, show.
CSI MIami on the other hand... where did my cheese go? My one-liners? It's becoming woefully generic. You're breaking my heart, people!
Fringe is still confusing as hell, but that's half the charm. And the actors make it impossible to stop watching. Just sayin'.
Criminal Minds. Oh boy. So heavy to watch but so goooooooood.
Sanctuary is a mixed bag. There's the usual half-heartedness in some places, plotholes in others, but the characters remain charming, and as long as they keep bringing back Tesla, I'll keep watching.
And then of course there's Supernatural. It's been years since a show has made me THIS emotional, on all levels. I blame the actors. Those goddamn talented, beautiful fuckers.

This PC shit is bringing my use of caps lock to whole new heights because THE FUCKING THING JUST CRASHED AGAIN! AND CRASHED AND CRASHED AND CRASHED AND CRASHED!!

I guess it didn't like me calling it my bitch...

After finding a few good Gabriel-centered fics, I indulged myself and downloaded all four episodes he was in and enjoyed them to the fullest. Damn, I wish he faked his death. I'd love it if he came back. But I doubt it.

Meanwhile, I am writing a Gabriel-centered fic myself, while listening (and rocking) to Asia's Heat of the Moment. After watching 3x11, it was kinda inevitable. (And I'll never get enough of Dean rocking to music. Ever. Dance for me, baby!)

And damn all those delicious male actors for making me ship anyone with everyone on SPN. I think the only thing I'm not shipping (yet) are the incest pairings. Although, that's not strictly true because I've already read a few fic s that veered into both wincest and various angel pairings. *pulls hair* What is this fandom doing to my poor brain?!

But for now I'll stick to listening to Gabriel waffle on about Sam in my head. He's really got a thing for that boy... although he's gonna need to flap his wings a bit to reach up and kiss him. *snicker* I love the height difference. It gets me hot, what can I say. And why are there no decent fics out there actually dealing with the fact that they're so awkwardly paired? *le sigh* I guess I'll just have to write them myself...

First of all I'm sick. Bah. The flu. Annoying, but at least managable.

Secondly, my PC is apparently also sick. I just spent a chunk of cash having it repaired and now it's showing me its blue screen again. :o( So now I'm in the process of making hard copies of all my data, so I can format the living daylights out of this bitch. I hope I manage to backup everything before the blue screen becomes permanent.

Photos were easily managed. I keep those in fairly good order, so that was just a matter of chucking them onto discs.
Music was pretty much the same. Easy peasy.
Now my overflowing mess of various fanstuff... that's gonna be tricky. So I'm kind of sorting and refiling as I go, deleting stuff I haven't cared about in ages and burning stuff I either can't live without or would be unable to reack down again.

At least my week with Pea ends tomorrow, so I can happily pull my PC to pieces all over the living room once he's well out of the house.

It's tomorrow. *bites nails*

And never have I churned out fic at this rate before. I guess adrenaline rush isn't an overrated concept. :oS
