.: i'm sure the view from heaven :.

Goddammit I have no idea what just happened but my entire entry went the way of the dodos.

At any rate, Friday needs to get here now because one of Amazon's Sales this week is a buy one/get one on DVD sets like, uh. THE PRISONER. And DANGER MAN. WHICH IS THE SAME SHOW ANYWAY AMIRITE.

I'm missing the last part of Prisoner, besides the fact that that's the slimcase set so I can get rid of my regular DVDs. But for serious, even with paying for the most expensive set of the two ($67.99) it's STILL half price of list price. *GRABBY HANDS*

I wonder how the filming of the new Prisoner series is going, I should check in on that.

Didn't want to get out of bed today. Did anyway. Time to get the oil changed in the car and meander around Walmart for a while.

[Edit] I keep forgetting to post about this, but solid_bean pointed at my bookcase and was like "So why do you have a picture of Sam Winchester on your shelf?" and I went o___O;; *looks* "THAT'S MY LITTLE BROTHER, WHAT THE HELL."

*facepalm*

Okay, so is there an actually law firm named Gage Whitney or was that an in-joke to The West Wing?

I think the last episode of Berserk amounts to: "ARGH WHAT." I knew it was cut off and that the manga continues the storyline, but. But. ARGH WHAT.

/out of system.

Onto Gatekeepers 21! And then Gokusen Jdrama; finally.

Got my Burn Notice season 1 DVDs yesterday. <3

I hit an 87% on expert for singing on Rock Band. Wahoo, at least the game doesn't require you to be able to carry a tune because then I'd totally be screwed. I think I'm kinda actually getting the hang of the drums now. w00t.

I think it's ridiculously hysterical that Daniel Craig bought the uncorrected Harry Potter proof in an auction. Hysterical, and a little bit cute.

Had a bizarre dream that included Juli and scorpions, and when I woke up and was checking my phone realized she texted me an ungodly-hour-o'clock about being attacked by a scorpion. o___O; Well. That was... unexpected.

Mraugh. Don't wanna be awake, contemplating going back to sleep. Laundry and cleaning to be done, damn it. I want to be able to afford my own 'net again so I'm not tied to my bedroom.

Things I learned last night:

+ The Mutus Liber was authored by Pierre Dujols, in the mid-to-late 1880s. I thought the book was older than that, really - the copy I have is just scans of the images, put in the middle of a book *about* alchemy. Wouldn't mind a real copy eventually.

+ The name of the book of Abraham the Jew, the book that the angel led Nicholas Flamel to and supposedly held the secret of the Philosopher's Stone, is Aschmezareph. I don't even want to try to say that. xD;

+ That it was Charles-Francois Dupuy who pointed out that the Notre Dame cathedral's sculptures contain teaching on science, art and philosophy, and saved it from destruction during the French Revolution. Additionally, Victor Hugo was the one who changed public opinion on the cathedral and by doing so, they were able to start renovations.

It's kind of amusing to see how prevalent alchemy and esoterisicism were at the turn of the century. It makes sense in a way, but there were so many people all interconnected to alchemy - it makes it hard to separate the people who were bandwagon-interested and actually interested. From what I've seen there aren't any new treatise or the like after the late 1930s - they're all just rehashes and translations of older ones. I think the common notion is that the sudden drastic leaps in technology make alchemy in general moot, and that's just not fun. :P

At any rate, now I'm looking for copies of The Mystery of the Cathedrals and The Dwellings of the Philosophers ... too lazy to look up their proper titles in French. I'm sure I can find them about on the internet, but again with my desire to actually own copies of books.

Now, laundry! And outlining a bit for Nano. Seems Sceptre won the vote unanimously, so, uh. angelic war it is! ...I ought to start putting together playlists.

Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury?

I am amused.

Really crappy sketchy n'stuff

( Coffee coffee coffee coffee! )

Well, that was just a monumental waste of time. I should know better than that by now, things rarely ever go my way. 9_9; Note to self: write down plan of attack, then go out. I will have a job by next Monday come hell or high water, not just for the money issue but because I don't know what to do with myself when I'm not working. I'm not useful at all. :/

Uh. That's about it. I picked up the Supernatural: Origins comic book and foamed at it. I also foam over the fact that they colored Dean as blonde ... that HURTS, people. Wasn't there just wank over that?

I suppose I'll go work on the latch-hook and watch something, since I can't possibly be productive. I am full of monumental suckiness today. Gah.

God I am so friggin' sick to my stomach I just want to die. I can't decide if I'm hungry or not... occasionally I'll feel hungry then I'll feel like I'm going to hurl again. No crackers to munch on either... damnit. >_< This is not cool. I wish I'd just ralph so I would stop coughing to the point of ralphing and then stopping. Gih. The french dip apparently did not sit well with me.

Archimedes decided this morning that the best way to get fed was to lie on my leg and then suddenly roll over and sink all four claws into the back of my leg. The right leg, in case anyone wondered. I think even the cats are beginning to get in on this joke, because it's always my left arm and right leg that get torn up with cat scratches. Seriously guys, if we could lay off the bloodletting I'd be fine with it.

Speaking of, the cat is currently sitting on the floor staring very intently at my can of coke. It's kind of unnerving.

We went and saw Spider-man 3 last night; which I actually enjoyed a bit more than Spider-man 2. I have a long-standing grudge against Tobey Maguire but I was able to stomach the melodrama a lot better this time. I think I need to rewatching Spider-man 2. I mean, I love Spidey. He's my favorite Marvel superhero, but Tobey Maguire makes me twitch. James Franco, on the other hand, is completely made of win. I like Harry. Harry when he's happy dopey smiley, Harry when he's psychoticly evil... beautiful. <3

There was a preview for Order of the Phoenix on it that I hadn't seen yet and oh god did it give me goosebumps. I love it when movie trailers can do that ... the movie itself can blow spectactular chunks (re: Phantom Menace, hell all three of the prequels) but the trailer, and the anticipation are incredible. I love watching trailers often more than the movies themselves because you still have such hope for the feature, the "oh, my god this is going to be incredible". I remember when the first teaser for Episode I came out and I couldn't stop watching it. I can't even describe it.

If I could have a DVD of nothing but classic movie trailers I would be so happy. xD;

So, yeah. Saw movie, yay. Going to go to Kings Island on Saturday since I was unable to do the convention thing this year. Angst. It's just as well, I've pretty much come to the realization that the con thing isn't for me. The more people who go, the more it stresses everyone out. If I'm able to go to a con I want it to be the least stressful thing in the world and due to my nature that just isn't a possibility. Maybe I'll make it to Sugoicon this year but I'm not crossing my fingers. Still makes me angst, though, because I've had a lot of fun at cons.

Um, I think that's it. I have to watch Hollywoodland today. I'm running out of time. xD Also need to go buy some shorts that actually aren't torn, ragged and gross from my stint at the factory. Preferably cargoes. God, I never go clothes-shopping, this'll be weird.

I redid my userinfo, got rid of some outdated links and stuff. I ought to do a new LJ layout... anyone want to make me one? xD;; Should also reorganize my icons. Hrm...

Okay, this Supernatural episode? Besides being made of Win, was totally the Batman episode "Perchance to Dream."

Totally.
