May. 17th, 2008 06:20 pmHot guys have a radar.
This radar does not say, "Girl nearby!", no no. This radar says, "Girl nearby who would normally look fine, but is now not wearing a bra or make-up, and is lounging around in her brother's trashy old Astros shirt because she woke up and realized it was Saturday and is spending the day watching the Red Green Show while babysitting a hyper dog".
This radar was functioning perfectly today, apparently.
The doorbell rang to Mike and Mary Ann's, the dog went nuts, so I'm trying to shout, "Just a second!" above the noise of him slamming into walls and freaking out, and decided I really didn't have time to throw on a bra or anything--besides it's probably just some sales thing or something--and open the door to find this absolute doll standing there, smiling charmingly.
So here I am trying to hold a conversation with this guy looking for Mary Ann because he's visiting people in the ward, he's making conversation ("You're an Astros fan?" So much for hoping he won't notice the bra-less-ness; "Yeah, I moved from Hawaii when I was 18", and "Is it really always this humid?") and I'm trying to be polite all the while thinking, "You couldn't have come yesterday? When I was all dolled up because I had to go into town?".
Anyway, because at this rate, I am never going to find a hot guy in real life, I've decided to indoctrinate you into one of my most recent obsessions. This includes eye candy, because I'm on to you people.
( Cut includes pretty pretty pictures and prettier songs )

My computer crashed.
Barring any miraculous information about recovering my information (please? Anyone, ideas?), I have lost everything.
I can deal with that mostly. I can download my shows again. My music--well, Christy, I may need all my classic rock back. And I have a lot of it on my mp3. Though I certainly can't recall everything that was in my pop folder and all my Irish punk and Irish music is gone... my French, hymns, classical--all my classical, my Bach, my Mozart...
Anyway. None of that really bothers me so much as I just realized every unfinished piece of story and novel I have ever written is gone completely. Court, do you still have the Chapter One of the Nero Wolfe/CSI fic I sent you? I could use it, though all the work I did last night is gone.
And I don't think I sent anyone any part of "The Brownstone Irregulars", which I was so very proud of.
This is just so, so awful.
What's more, I was just looking at external harddrives yesterday in the ads. Lovely.
If anyone knows anything about computers, what I'm getting is a message every time I try and restart that says, "Cannot load local profile" or some such, and it takes me to the default, I guess. The background that was on it when I bought it, and all that.
I'm trying to view this in a positive light, sort of an imposed computer cleaning for the new year, but it's very hard to do so.
ETA: There may be some hope! I downloaded Mozilla Firefox a while ago, and it looks to still be on here. My music files are empty, but maybe my files exist somewhere still?
Should this be Post-Post-ETA?: Checked my space. Out of 67.6 GB, I have 8.5 left, which sounds suspiciously like my files are still lurking about somewhere.

When the going gets tough, the tough might get going, but the smart stay where they are and say screw it.
So posting all but one of it all at once.
First, the ever popular Monster Mash by Bobby Pickett and the Crypt-Kicker Five.
Next, the original I Put a Spell on You by Screaming Jay Hawkins, followed by the more renowned Bette Midler version.
Finally, the last installment of all of these will be posted tomorrow, and it is well worth the wait.
Also, this was in the paper Sunday, and it intrigued me enough to share:
"It has always amused me that the same people who denounce America as a seething cesspit of blind obscurantist bigotry can't see the irony that America itself produces its own best critics. When there's a scab to be picked on the American body politic, no one does it with more loving attention, more rigorous focus on the detail, than Americans themselves."

On the tenth day of Halloween, my lj friend gave to me, another song by Ministry!. That is, Everyday is Halloween.
I ordered something from Victoria's Secret a while ago (don't get too excited; just a swimsuit top), and they said they couldn't ship it until December. I ordered it after summer anyway, so it wasn't like I really need it until next summer. I got an email and a letter from them, though, saying they were sorry for the wait, and they gave me a $25.00 off coupon with no required amount of purchase, and a $10 gift certificate. Woohoo!
Also went by Starbucks and bought the most adorable glasses ever. I know, I know, but they've got watercolors of fall leaves on the bottom and I really love them.
I was late to class today because I overslept. The class starts at 2:15. In the afternoon. Yeah. I know. Anyway, I've been rather anxious about my grades because though I was fairly certain I had an A, he had only given us one grade back, so I asked him after class and he gave me a disbelieving look.
"You have an A," he said, laughing. "You definitely have an A."
Did I mention our mid-term was a take home test? I have a tendency to forget things, then write them on the sides with arrows pointing, and then write more on the backs of papers... teachers usually need a roadmap to understand my answers to test questions. So I typed them neatly up and printed them, then attached it to the test he gave us with a paperclip and turned it in today.
I may be overachieving, a bit.

12th Day of Halloween
Oct. 21st, 2007 08:01 pmThese really were meant to be done consecutively, but I forgot to plan in the fact that I spent this entire weekend wasted and picking up new vices like Bon Jovi picks up panties after a concert.
In related news, had a GREAT weekend!
This is Halloween by Marilyn Manson
By the way, I highly recommend the new show Viva Laughlin!. It's got all the glitz and flash of Las Vegas, a murder mystery, the requisite sting twist at the end of every episode so far, and it's a modern musical, with a fantastic soundtrack.
And if that doesn't get you, the very first episode has Hugh Jackman, wearing a silver suit, singing Rolling Stones while dancing on top of a blackjack table. I have two words for that: Da-yum.

There are few things quite as nice as waking up underneath a flannel blanket, cat curled comfortably behind my knees, stretching and finding myself looking at J.D. Salinger novels and Calvin and Hobbes tossed together beside me on my bed.
There are times when it is uniquely pleasant to be me.

Aug. 21st, 2007 10:32 amThe ultimate "cure my boredom"--well, besides Bag, Shag and Gag--is a music post.
So! Random songs I've been into lately (read: I cleaned my music folders and found a bunch of songs that I never knew I had). I know most of your tastes pretty well, so if you don't feel like downloading them all, comment and I'll tell you which ones I think you'd like best.
Foreign Languages: French
Fleur de Saison by Emilie Simon
Irish Punk
Green Fields of France by Dropkick Murphys
Share the Darkness by Saw Doctors
Pop*
America by Bree Sharp
Sari by Nellie McKay
Hit the Ground Running by Smog
I Think God Can Explain by Splender
Someday, Someday by Thirsty Merc
One Horse Town by Thrills
Your Woman by White Town
Rock
Here Comes Your Man by The Pixies
Salva Mea by Faithless
Nemo by Nightwish
Eighties
Fields of Gold by Sting
Classical
Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin
Tocatta and Fugue in D-Minor by Bach**
Harpsicord Concerto by Bach
March of the Trolls by Grieg
Der Hölle Rache or The Queen of the Night Aria by Mozart
Swing, Jazz and Blues
Back Water Blues by Bessie Smith
Everything by Michael Buble
Papa Loves Mambo by Dean Martin
Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby by Renee Olstead
Autumn Leaves by Miles Davis and John Coltrane
And a surprise.
*Point of interest, I listen to very obscure music, so anything that sounds vaguely modern is lumped into "pop". This includes rap, punk, alternative, and any number of other genres that a music taxonomist would deign to differentiate between.
** This piece will be very familiar to most people, and is the creepiest classical piece of music that exists, rivaled only by Chopin's Nocturnes in C Minor. Organs are not happy instruments.
ETA: Dig my new layout! I really love it. For now. :))
