poisontaster	10:35p	My mother passed early yesterday morning. If I am absent from LJ for a little while, this is why. Current Mood: sad
musesfool	8:04p	she has fancy clothes and diamond rings The uploading continues apace. I am almost ready to stop for the evening and maybe try to write. Or something. I miss writing. It's been days since I did any. Sigh. I was uploading a lot of the codas I wrote in season 2, when I was still in the first flush of fandom love, and wow, season 2 was good for codas. I think I wrote at least one (sometimes more than one) for almost every episode. I miss that, too. * Tonight for dinner I made a roast loin of pork. It was very tasty. I combined garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and basil in about a tablespoon of olive oil (for easy spreading), along with a couple of teaspoons of brown sugar and a large splash of vanilla (for years, I wouldn't tell my mother about the brown sugar and vanilla, and she couldn't replicate the taste. Heh.). Rub that on, top with a few pats of butter, and then cook until the internal temperature is 160°F. It was very tasty and juicy and good. * This entry at DW: http://musesfool.dreamwidth.org/100853.html. people have commented there.

amejisuto	1:40p	Spice Sugar Cookies Well, Thanksgiving is over and I have oodles of new Christmas icons to play with, thanks to TooCuteIcons. She posed 300 icons yesterday so if you need holiday icons, that's where to find some. So it's time to start posting cookies! ( Spice Sugar Cookies ) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

telesilla	8:42p	body chemistry for the lose... So yeah, because my sleep schedule's been so fucked up, I haven't been taking my Wellbutrin. I really really need to remember that it's not optional. Dinner tonight, which should have been dinner last night, was good, but it was only half of what I meant to serve and the meat was just a little too pink even though my meat thermometer said it was a lot more done that it turned out to be.* I really didn't feel the cooking vibe so we had the caramelized butternut squash/sweet potato dish (which was very good) and lamb, which was very good even if it was a little pink. We'll have greens and mashed potatoes tomorrow. Things would have been a lot smoother if I'd been taking my meds, as it was I stressed this one waaaaaay too much. *Um, hi...I'm really not in the mood for recommendations or helpful hints or solutions or whatever here.

musesfool	11:40p	backpage news down in the neighborhood I don't really care about so much about the plots on White Collar. They just keep giving me tasty OT3 stuff and I'm content. I've spent most of the day uploading stuff to the AO3. It allows me to feel productive when I can't write. I have too many goddamn stories, though. angelgazing pointed out that I will never be done uploading because I write faster than I upload. Though possibly this is no longer the case. I don't know. I have been having my usual late autumn/early winter problems getting motivated. Since the archive takes so long to upload, I am also rereading some favorite stories (I don't have to pay as close attention to rereads - I can skim and skip and be interrupted without losing anything, 'cause I've already read them before). I keep getting errors, unfortunately, which is slowing things down even more. Technology is not my friend. I know lots of people are excited by tagging their stories in all sorts of ways, but I am doing what I find useful and that's it. As long as I get the characters/pairing on there, and maybe if it's a casefile or an episode tag, that's about the extent of my interest. Maybe if I upload my HP stuff, I'll split the Remus/Sirius out by era, like I have it in my tags on LJ, but mostly I don't care about the tags. *hides* Also, I wish there were a place in the profile to link to a warnings policy, and that that link could just automatically be included on every story. Because I am just using the "No Primary Warnings Apply" which isn't the same as "no warnings needed" but 99% of my stuff is "no warnings needed" and I'd like to be able to say that somewhere, since it isn't a choice on the warnings field. I guess I could make it a tag, but I never think of it. I wish it were automatic. Hmm... *** This entry at DW: http://musesfool.dreamwidth.org/100505.html. people have commented there.

stele3	9:07a	Abusive asshole >>> Gay man REALLY, Good Morning America? Really? First you cancel a gay man's appearance on your show b/c the night before he kissed another guy on national television, then in the same week you book a dude who beat the crap out of his girlfriend and threatened to kill her. Just, wow. The different layers of homophobia, hypocrisy, and female negativity wrapped up in how GMA handled this...WOULD amaze me, if I hadn't seen it a million times before. *clutches head* I hope that Adam a) is smart enough to understand that by just being "a performer" - by being HIM - he's going to walk a very certain path, b) is brave enough to walk it despite the asshats, and c) has people around him who will help. Because goddamn, this is just the start of his career. (6 Comments |Comment on this)
telesilla	4:26p	so much for Thanksgiving on the right day Right now I'm mostly thankful that I no longer have a migraine. There's food in the oven and I'll do a much longer post about it all later. Hope those of you who celebrate (and those how don't) had a great day! (Comment on this)
amejisuto	9:44a	Whee! It's SNOWING! First snowfall of the year. It's not sticking to the ground much, but it's snowing! YAY! Yeah, yeah, by February I'll be sick of it but right now, YAY! (4 Comments |Comment on this)

musesfool	10:24p	he's done it with just one hand most of the time Happy Thanksgiving to those who are celebrating! Happy Thursday to those who are not. I hope everyone had a lovely day, regardless. My day began with BACON and PIE and ended with FOOTBALL and PIE, and in between there was stuffing and homemade cheese macaroni and turkey that was actually moist and tasty (!!), and more family shenanigans than you could shake a stick at. My brother was in rare form tonight, and basically had the whole table in stitches for most of the meal. Mostly at my expense, but eh, that's not new. and unfortunately, the Giants are capping off the day by sucking like unto a hoover, but I am too full and sleepy to care too much. I am thankful for my family, my friends - including you guys - my health, and my job. Man, a year ago at this time, I was a week away from being laid off. I'm still a little freaked out by how that went, still anxious and lacking in confidence sometimes, but I'm so glad I found a new job quickly, and one that I mostly like, for people and an organization that I like. (I'm also grateful that I have tomorrow off and I don't have to use a day - it's one of our holidays. Mmm...sleeping in...) I'm grateful I have health insurance and can pay my rent and that I have an apartment I love. I'm thankful for fandom, not just because of all the great stories to read and the feeling of having people who get my excitement about various shows and characters, but because of all the great people I've met and become friends with, who've made my life richer and better and more fun all around. *hugs* And also, I am thankful for PIE, and I would share some with you all if I could. *** This entry at DW: http://musesfool.dreamwidth.org/100175.html. people have commented there.

stele3	3:15a	The greatest hits of Craigslist. This is epic. It's like a novel excerpt scrawled on a bathroom wall. I love it. Gonna be out at my parents' house for the next couple of days, so -- to any and all Yankees, have a Happy Thanksgiving. To everyone else, have a happy Thursday and Friday. Safe journeys.

musesfool	10:41p	mama, put my guns in the ground Criminal Minds ( spoilers ) *** Maybe I will try to write. I would like to post one more story this month, if possible, before I buckle down on yuletide and broken toys. *** This entry at DW: http://musesfool.dreamwidth.org/100016.html. people have commented there.

stele3	3:53p	Drumming diary: Violet Hill II There isn't much to report: the song itself is pretty simple, as I thought. The main problem that I'm having is that my headphones appear to be giving me jaw problems. I've got some heavy-duty Sennheisers that cancel out noise really well - but in the last few weeks, my jaw has been aching and popping every time I yawn or take a semi-big bite of food. I don't honestly know if the two are related. The headphones do hurt my ear and jaw area if I wear them for extended periods of time, and I can't seem to adjust them to a place where they don't. I've always just kind of dealt with it, but I've been wearing them a lot more in the last few weeks, since one of my last steps to learning a song is to play along to the music. I'd do it without headphones, but in the particular case of Violet Hill, the drums are kind of muted and hard to make out if you're playing your own kit on top. (This is really the case for everything except, like, AC/DC.) You really need noise-canceling abilities of some kind. Has anyone else experienced headphone-related jaw problems? I couldn't find anything online. I don't want to screw up that part of my drum practice, but I also would like to be able to EAT, yaknow? Eating is nice. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
telesilla	10:44a	simple yet tasty Take a bagel, slice it, toast it and put a generous amount of cream cheese on both slices. Then take a couple artichoke hearts and chop them up fine* and use them as sammich filling. Serve with Kalamata olives on the side. Speaking of food, we got our box yesterday; I was just too wiped to report it. Persimmons, tangerines, apples, kale, chard, lettuce, some other green and sweet potatoes.

musesfool	11:55a	some days, there's nothing left to learn So I have this thing where I reverse numbers all the time, e.g., I usually have to redial new to me phone numbers two or three times because I switch the order of the numbers, etc. NOTE TO SELF: NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO BE DYSLEXIC WITH ROMAN NUMERALS! *** This entry at DW: http://musesfool.dreamwidth.org/99809.html. people have commented there.

stele3	1:19a	Shelter Hi, people wot have seen Shelter. Come talk to me about it. On the one hand, it was reeeeeally poorly directed. As in, what is this shot? Oh my god, what is this blocking? And Brad Rowe bugged me a bit, though Trevor Wright was effective. Pretty predictable plot. On the other hand, dudes, Zach totes had a crush on Shaun for years. YEARS. Like, it's not stated explicitly, but he mentions to his sister that he'd been surfing with Shaun since age 8. Plenty of time for bb!Zack to get starry-eyed over the confident Older Brother, and the way Zack sort of hesitated when he saw Shaun for the first time in what, 5 years? And then later when they're arguing he tosses out, "I'm sick of being your childhood wet dream," which makes absolutely no sense unless you turn it around and put it back on him. Yeah. Long-repressed crush, thar. I also really appreciated the scene between Zack and his sister where the truth comes out and it's this complex tangle of prejudice, family responsibility, financial pressues, sibling rivalry, and personal insecurities. Up until then Jeanne is pretty unsympathetic, but that scene really made you believe that she's a fuckup trying to do her best. What is so easy and effortless for Shaun and Gabe is a slow climb for Zack and Jeanne, and they struggle under it in different ways. (17 Comments |Comment on this)

telesilla	10:40p	huh.... Due to a bit of stupidity on my part, I spent the day without internets. And you know...I missed people, but not the internets themselves. Lemme know if anything interesting happened. Actually, you all should be glad I spent the day offline; I'm grumpy and crampy and apparently someone, probably Og, slept in just the wrong spot on the bed, forcing me to sleep in a certain position, so my knees and back hurt. It's not that I wouldn't happily kick him off the bed, it's that he does it in the middle of the night and I automatically adjust without waking up. For those not on my NaNo filter, I'm declaring it a half win. I wrote 20,500 words and I'll probably manage another 5,000 before the end of the month. Or who knows, maybe I won't. Still that's 20K of fic I didn't have on October 31, so there you have it. I have to go to our local upscale grocery store to pick up the lamb tomorrow. That's gonna be fun. I also have to go to Coco's to pick up the pie so at least I'll have French Toast for lunch or something. (Comment on this)

musesfool	11:44p	with a red guitar on fire For tonight's bout of stress baking, I made blueberry boy bait (as recommended by devildoll), which came out well, I think (I am taking half to work and half to the parents), but I also think it needs more blueberries. Clearly I need to double the amount next time. And possibly make it in cupcake tins or my mini-loaf pan. Hmm... Maybe one day I'll be like a real food blogger and remember to take pictures of stuff before I slice into it and wrap it up. Today was not that day. On my ride home tonight (I was at work late again), I listened to Adam Raised a Cain a few times and vidded it in my head. I would be the most literal vidder ever. Anyway. I know I say this all the time, but where is the Sam Winchester vid to this song? WHERE IS IT? I think this season has provided more awesome footage for someone to do this. ( the lyrics, in case you missed them the first 100 times I mentioned this idea ) Seriously, if I had minions, I would make one of them vid this for me. *** This entry at DW: http://musesfool.dreamwidth.org/99442.html. people have commented there.

shalottljfeed	6:42p	#ShameOnYouABC, seriously http://astolat.livejournal.com/214261.html wow! Okay, so for anyone who doesn't know yet: Adam was supposed to perform on Good Morning America tomorrow. GMA had freaking Hot Topic stores giving out promotional tickets yesterday. Last night, coming out of his Letterman taping (it's going to be shown on Wednesday night btw), Adam told people there he was doing three songs, was all excited for it. This morning, GMA cancelled. And not only did they cancel, they apparently cancelled without telling HIM, because after the email notices -- TO RANDOM PEOPLE WHO HAD SIGNED UP FOR THEIR MAILING LIST -- went out, Tommy (the cute bassist who is the other boy in the kissing pics) tweeted that it had NOT been cancelled in response to panicked questions. A few minutes later it was confirmed that yes, it was cancelled. I just -- there is ZERO QUESTION that ABC knew what Adam was going to do on the AMAs for anyone who saw the broadcast and the breathless, every-commercial-break "omg you will not BELIEVE Adam Lambert's performance!" and "the one everyone will be talking about!" teasers, not to mention the pre-performance videos THEY FILMED AND PUT ONLINE where he talked about sexiness and boys on leashes and rehearsed the performance. They got their highest ratings in 7 years. But apparently ABC is now "worried" about having him on the show "so early in the day." (Although he's been on GMA before, at the same time while on the Idols Live tour he was jacking off mic stands and doing stripper moves on stage every night. AMAZINGLY, he did not put on a raunchy performance at 7 in the morning.) Of course, the boy-on-boy crotch action got edited out for the AMAs west coast feed, even though all the sex moves with girls were apparently okay, so maybe they thought better of it afterwards? Maybe he made things a little too gay after he surprise-kissed Tommy? akdsfja;djf;asdfjad /incoherent wrath TO CALL ABC TO COMPLAIN: 1-818-460-7477, hit 1 on first menu, 2 on second menu, 1 on third menu, then 466 for the GMA mailbox and leave a message. OKAY, LESS RAGE, MORE HAPPY: Adam is going to be on the CBS Early Show tomorrow morning instead. ***ETA*** He is going to be performing indoors in the studio, and doing a meet and greet AFTERWARDS in the plaza at 5th avenue and 59th street, and fans are invited to gather. NYC PEEPS, the Early Show concerts are held outside on the plaza at 5th avenue and 59th street. I have no clue how they will handle the crowd, but there's no physical limit to the space, so presumably it's just first come first serve until they fill up and start sending people away. But I am going to have to show up just at the last second because I can't be out in the cold that long right now, so I have no idea if I will be able to stay or see a thing. ;____; *cries and hates ABC some more* Also OMG HIS FREAKING AWESOME ALBUM: Super-fancy iTunes Deluxe LP with bonus tracks and visualizer and pretty videos and interview or Amazon WHOLE MP3 ALBUM for $0.99: $3 free downloads coupon, album for $3.99 special EXTRA HAPPY: (I don't know who made this macro but ♥ awesome) okay. and painted_birdie made SNUGGIES!Kradison, and pentapus has been showing me cute drawings, and now I feel better and am going back to coding but a;lkdjfa;jdfk;ajf;asdjf;saf;adjfk OMGGG >:( You can also read this entry on Dreamwidth ( comments) (Comment on this)
