Fun with Vicodin:
1. Indulge in slowly spinning rooms.
2. Reflect that you did not know your forehead was made of rubber and tap it a lot.
3. Grin for no reason whatsoever.
4. Have conversations with yourself that are even more inane than normal. "Wow, this room... is really spinning slowly." "I feel sooooo goooooood."
5. NAPPING!
6. Have absolutely fascinating dreams - last night was some sort of slow-speed Russian adventure story involving the history and origin of mozzarella sticks.
7. Log online to do one thing (look up a side quest for a not particularly challenging rpg, because it's play that or nap again) and then get distracted by OOO SHINY and decide to write stupid shit on your journal.
8. Reminding yourself consistently that it would be a very bad idea to get in the car to go get some brownies, even though brownies sound soooo gooood right now.
9. Realize that at the moment, you have no bleedin' clue where your car keys are anyway.
10. What was I thinking about?
11. Pie. |

Oh hi there! Still alive.
The writing conference at Iron Springs rocked and was immensely helpful, and hanging out with the Dead Perverts Society and my adorable girlfriend* has been one of the best things ever. As I am still doing said hanging out, I don't really have time to talk about it right now, but I'll make a full, rambling update when I'm back in Finland, promise.
Welcome to the Iron Springs people! I'll sort you out properly later; for now, don't mind the chaos. Or rather, the boredom, at least until I'm back to my semi-regular schedule.
* For those of you not in the know: I'm polyamorous. |

and then i ate the bowl
Today I was almost on TV, but then not, but I got to hang out with my buddy Ty all day, and then I bought a big book because a cute boy told me to. Yes that one. Ugh! I am weak.
And speaking of weak, so is my connection right now. It keeps crapping out in the middle of stuff. WEAK.
Speaking of weak even more, I thought of a silly way to describe a weak punch: "Like she aimed a glove at me and sneezed into it." There you go.
Now I will eat a steak. This has been the most riveting Livejournal post of any Livejournal post in the history of Livejournal posts. LIVEJOURNAL POST.
That is all.
Edit:
No it isn't, I'm a liar. I got an Awesomeness discount at the Snail. Randomly. I said I should get one, jokingly, and then it...actually happened. Woo! Augh, haha, this entry is so useless, I'm sorry. I'm so tired. |

Adventures in pain!
I got my first ambulance ride of my life today. I presently think it's all very neat, but that may be because I am blogging on vicodin and am totally blown out of my mind. This is some great stuff, I mean, it sucks that something has to go pretty wrong with you before you get it, but damn, once it's in you, replace my inner organs and fill me with jell-o, *I* am way past caring.
Woke up this morning with what I would not term screaming back pain. No, the screaming came later. This was a pleasant wake up, a little roll over, and then a saucy, good morning twinge of "HELLO AND FUCK YOU." So that was special for a couple of hours. Eventually figured out the only way I was comfy was on my tummy, and even that wasn't always working. So, I caved in to my husband and my family's gangup to ensure I went to the doctor today. Okay. Not bad. I need to rinse off for that, so I took a quick, gentle shower, no exertion, and went to lay on my tummy again in the bedroom.
THEN, THEN the screaming back pain started off. At which point everyone else ignored my protests and began the 911 parade, which, I will start summing it up from here, I got doped out of my mind, got a prescription for mind dopey, the information that I am fundamentally fine, just got totally betrayed by my body, and sent home, where, instead of laying down like a sane person, I am on the internet informing people. Probably because I feel like I have now totally wasted a day on some back pain and want to do something useful, regardless of the fact that when you are, quite seriously, screaming for your mommy, it is apparently socially acceptable to spend the rest of the day as a vegetable.
Story short: I'm fine, I'm embarassed, I hurt much less now thanks to modern science, and holy shit, those stretchers they have these days in ambos are COMFY. |

i love letterrrrrs So there's a commercial on the CBC here that runs many times a day, advertising their BADASS MOVIES or whatever... and at the end of each of them, Harry Potter is all, "EXPECTO PATRONUM!!! >:O" and it makes me laugh for some reason. Now I will share with you some samples of my three most favouritest fonts ever, because I'm all fonted up from trying to find some good letters for that new thing I'm doing. I mean it, I'm so excited. When I load this page after this edit goes through, I'll see those fonts again and my heart will swell a little. I LOVE FONTS SO MUCH. Anyway, here they are. ( three! three most excellent samples! ah-ah-ah-ah [lightning] )The end! |

meme meme meme meme meme Apparently some group put out one of those things to tell you how lazy and illiterate the average Americano is. The link is over in Xanath's journal and it is there where my lazy lies. However, the meme... I will do the meme. :P 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicise those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. 4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them.

Interests meme Comment on this post and I will choose seven interests from your profile. You will then explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along. Chosen by inneranomaly1. carrotsWhat the mean? Umm.. they're an orange (usually) root vegetable. Man, you just can't go wrong with carrots. Dip em in dressing and they're a delightful, healthy snack. Cook em up with some sweetener and butter (maybe some ginger and brandy, too) and they're sweet, comforting food. MMMM, Carrots. I even like em in sammiches! One year in college, friends were buying me bags to see if I could eat enough to turn orange, as had happened to me as a baby. 2. llamas Adorable mammal with useable wool. My love of llamas came before my love of sheep. They're so fuzzy and friendly and cute! What's not to love? 3. sporks Fork+Spoon == The ultimate weapon AND eating utensil. 4. touch You do this when you put your body against other things or people. I listed touch for two reasons. One, I am a really tactile person. Sometimes when I'm shopping, I'll make a b-line for an item that looks like it has an interesting texture, just to touch it. It's not unusual for me to have my hand out to touch things as I'm moving along anywhere.. grass, fences, walls. I like to touch everything. And then, although some people are surprised, I'm a pretty affectionate person. So I like to touch people, too, as a sign of warmth/closeness/comfort, whatever. 5. surrealismA trippy genre of art. Salvador Dali was one of the first artists I really got into, and surrealism and Dada in general followed quickly. 6. pockets Parts of clothing/bags/etc specifically designed for the holding of items. Where exactly would I carry my lip balm without pockets??? I like to be prepared for all eventualities, and pockets help accommodate that. I'm also visually attracted to them, don't know why, and like putting my hands in them (goes back to touch, maybe). No pockets is a pants deal-breaker for me, though I will suffer for a nice dress or skirt. 7. sluggy freelanceA webcomic. I actually removed this after you listed it. Sluggy used to be (and may still be) a brilliant webcomic with a murderous bunny, hyperactive ferret, and several crazy humans as its main characters. It was one of my very first dailies. Unfortunately, I never got back into it after the great computer drought of my post-college years. inneranomaly also asked, "whyfore isn't cuddling in your interests?" Because I'm dumb, I thought at least snuggling was! It is now. :) A cuddlewhore am I! Current Music: Do fans count as music? |

WALL-E is, for me, firmly in the category of 'My Neighbor Totoro.' I keep thinking about it, and I keep liking it more. It would have been physically impossible for me to leave the theatre in a bad mood after viewing it. Far too cute. Also, the fact that the little robot uses the Mac start-up noise makes me giggle every time for some obscure reason. I keep feeling like the tune is called 'Overture to Windows, Movement F-U.' |

and explode Last-minute rescheduled stuff stinx. I don't deal very well with sudden changes to my work schedule, it throws me right off...but! To9morrow my b reoter ... I am leaving it like that so you can see what happens when I sneeze while typing. Anyway, my brother is coming to visit me tomorrow, randomly, and he's bringing his girlfriend, who is adorable and not crazy! We will eat food and then go to the ROM. It will go something like this: \m/ Now here, have some sketchbook fluff.  ( mo'! )Say, what do normal people do when they hang out anymore, anyway? I haven't actually had friends nearby in like two years now, and I'm supposed to do something with somebody soon, but it's vague, and I just...have no idea. I feel all out of touch and...old. Or something. Aaaargh TALKING TO PEOPLE IS SO HARD |

Tartan Films RIP
Bad news, not horrible news.
Tartan Films is gone. They were a distributor that brought a lot of asian films over to the US and else where. They tended to emphasize that whole "Asia Extreme" genre-type, but they were still pretty instrumental in getting me exposed to contemporary asian cinema. Here's to hoping that whoever picks up their assets will do a good job. |

3 things meme
Rules: Post 3 things you've done that you believe nobody else on your F-list has done.
1) Met the Archivist of the United States (really met him, not just saw him speak), Allen Weinstein. That man is adorable and hilarious.
2) Been chased by a bear in Shenandoah National Park.
3) Shaved my head on a dare. |

Much less grouchy. Basically just needed to drain it out. I am, roughly, human again.
Depending on how these interviews go for Craig, we may be moving in a few months. Big may, things have to work out first. But at the moment there's two chances for Pennsylvania and one chance for Georgia. All very interesting. No breath held. |

well, that was a fond farewell  Randomly found this at a used book store on Tuesday, in fabulous condition, and pretty much climbed into the window display to get it, I was so excited. I'm such a dork. Verdict: Gorgeous. I won't pick at it at all, can't, don't want to, love it love it love it. In case you didn't know, Tolkien ripped the shit out of this epic to make those novels of his. Heh heh. Anyway, if I could just get my hands on Vol 2, that would be loverly. And then, I found this site and started frothing at the mouth in my excitement: Arthur Rackham's illustrations to Wagner's THE RING OF THE NIBELUNGAugh god I need all the free time ever. As soon as I'm done with the stuff I must do, I am gonna draw the hell out of whatsispants. |

Restraint
I have a crapload of design tasks for work, and I've decided to work from home on Monday to work on them because
1) Crappy ball mouse is impossible, tablet is only appropriate for some tasks (the mouse for my tablet has long since been lost)
2) Photoshop CS 3 has a lot of things that irritate me, and takes approximately a million years on this computer to load even a measly 300k file, and my beloved Corel is available at home
3) Less distractions, believe it or not
4) I can properly immerse myself in a creative environment
But all of this severely tempts me to upgrade to the latest version of the Corel suite and buy a new desktop since my old one once again went splat. RESTRAINT, RACHEL, RESTRAINT. I just bought a new laptop last September, and have spent plenty of $$$ on moving expenses.
In other news, O HAI STOMAK Y U WANT TO PYOOK.
