To Do list and meme

[minxy]

I met katie_m during her whirlwind tour of Portland and she made me realize that I'm getting tired, that I'm wearing sweats and jeans and t-shirts and none of my pretty clothes lately, and that I want to be traveling, like she is. Katie is wonderful, pretty, charming, elegant, a grown-up, and is inspiring me to sort my silly dissertation stuff out so I can get back to trying to be those things.

Also? I need to sleep. I've been racing and rafting and playing with 4 year olds and playing with my parents (different games, really similar levels of laughter) and driving and working and banging my head against a wall with my dissertation and I don't know when I got so tired.

I would also like to point out that every time I meet someone from fandom (all of twice, this has happened) it coincides with remarkable leaps forward towards the dissertation defense. I'm just saying. One more time and it'll be a trend.

Ahem.

The following things have been requested:

1. DVD commentary on Like No One is Watching, which I'm looking forward to.
2. Meta on Sexy Wounds, or, what 'merely a flesh wound' really means.
3. Edited copy of the Teal'c and Cameron, Courting, fic (okay that's just me, but my lovely beta has asked about it and poked me with a pointy stick at least once.)

However, I have worked hard today and managed to work out as well (only because I'm meant to be racing on Sunday with my team and they're all *hand flaps* counting on me to show up, 'n stuff) and my brain is shutting down.

So instead, I meme:

ganked from raqs:

1. My ex is.....dating a really nice girl, a lot like me except she speaks Vietnamese. I'd try harder to dislike her but I'm using up all my energy trying to graduate.
2. I am listening to... The Colbert Report from the other room.
3. Maybe I should.... wash my face and go to sleep.
4. I love... when my dog curls up on my feet. Also this icon by sugargroupie of Gina Torres.
5. My best friends... are in completely different fields.
6. I don't understand... when people do not do the work they said they would.
7. I lose... the memory of any conversation that happens before my second cup of coffee.
8. People say... I look like my mother.
9. The meaning of my screen name is... A minx is a pert girl; adding a y sort of bastardizes it back to an adverb and thus Minxy means pert or saucy or impudent although it was really born of people just being affectionate. You can call me Kate if it's easier.
10. Love is... worth it.
11. Somewhere, someone is... wishing for the things I gripe about.
12. I will always... agree to play with my Dad.
13. Forever seems... glib. So many interesting things could happen between now and that theoretical time.
14. I never want to... manipulate people.
15. My mobile phone is... in need of a new battery.
16. When I wake up in the morning... I need coffee and silence.
17. I get annoyed when... people do not communicate what they need and then get angry when they don't get it.
18. Parties are... entertaining, sometimes.
19. My fish is... pan seared Ahi tuna, with avocado, soy sauce, ginger and lime. Although I also have this great recipe for halibut with a macadamia nut crust. And some really good salmon recipes too.
20. Kisses are the worst when... unwelcome.
21. Today I... was productive. It's been a while.
22. Tonight I will... sleep hard.
23. Tomorrow I will... work hard again at work worth doing that someone else cares about and other people might see someday.
24. I really want... to write this original story that's been percolating in my head.
