minxyNow, I don't wish to give the impression that I let my boss alone get to me this much, so let me clarify:
1. There is a chip in my windshield. No--make that two. Darned weather and it's associated gravel on the roads.
2. My gas tank lid thing no longer fits in its space and had to be pried open today, which was successful once I got out my tools, but the gas station attendant guy (this is Oregon, there is no self-service at gas stations) tried at first with my debit card and broke the corner off. *sigh*
3. Vancouver fell through. I'm trying to be over that, so we shan't speak any more about it. Unless, you know, we do.
4. My advisor failed to even attempt to call me yet again today. I did call him, though. He didn't answer the phone.
On account of which, bad mood. *grumpy face*
Of the good:
1. Fannish people, who accept my resignation from the newsletter graciously and with aplomb. Not everyone has aplomb, I would like to say, but![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
splash_the_cat has it in spades, if you can have aplomb in spades. She is nifty. Also, and perhaps importantly, I am resigning due to of the good thing #3, below, so don't worry.
Splash the very nifty, hard-working maintainer of newsletter, is soon to be without a slash links gatherer for SG-1. Any kind soul out there care to step up and point to any extra fic you find not on the watch list already? I will happily pass on my list of LJs that I watch for that purpose. Email sg1_debrief at gmail.com, please. Pretty pretty please? Thank you.
2. My parents are home and being pretty hilarious. Their attempts to blame Canada to make me feel better about there not being funding for me there are getting progressively more ridiculous.
3. Asia in a little over a week! YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY! Do need to sort out the overnight before the flight, though.
If you wanted to entertain me, and you needn't, obviously, but I'm not too proud. Anyway, if you wanted to entertain me, you might:
1. Point me to a place I might *ahem* the first half of this season of Supernatural. I might be watching the last disc of S1 tonight, and can record the rest from now on, but you know. New fandom, shiny, catching up and all that. email handle at livejournal and all that.
2. Write a ficlet entitled or including the words in the subject of some spam sent to you recently. For example, in my inbox today, I saw the subject line "quintillion coronet", which is kind of awesome. I also saw the subject "puppeteer rectal", but that makes me cringe.
3. Write me a Rome ficlet that makes Passover all better. Comfort for the hurt, if you will.
I have some recs, but not enough to outweigh the whinging in this post, so they'll get their own post at some point. Plus, I do need to wait and see whether enjoying that genderswapping kid!fic thing is something I'm going to admit to or blame on my mood.
