Up And Down, Up And Down
Feb. 10th, 2011 08:29 pmGood things:
+ Have an arm full of Depo from this morning.
+ Most of the snow has melted off.
+ Weather in Bloomington is supposed to be good this Saturday, so maybe I can finally go up for the first time this year! :DDDD
+ My doctor got my lab work back and my Pap is normal. (Yeah, I know, it was really stupid of me to think it might be otherwise, since I have no history of abnormal Pap and none of the major risk factors for cervical cancer. Still, that's one less thing to worry about.)
+ I am about due for an oil change and I can actually afford to have the transmission flushed like I want to without worrying about where the money is going to come from.
+ I made up all but half an hour of the two and a half hours I was out this week to go to the doctor's. (You can only make up two hours per pay period, but hey.)
Bad things:
( Under the cut so you don't have to read about them. )
All in all, more good than bad.

A new toy: I haz it. I spent my birthday money and state income tax return on a new camera, because it was cheap as such things go and also I got an employee discount for buying it at Lol-Mart. So now you're going to be subjected to the inevitable fumblings as I figure out how to use it.
CONSEQUENTLY I GIVE YOU SOME PICTURES OF MY GARDEN because it's easier than taking pictures of me, and you don't want to see me that badly anyway.
( Image intensive. In case you didn't know. )
This concludes another episode of Blurry l33 Theatre.

Mar. 22nd, 2010 01:17 pmFirst off, a happy belated birthday to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
momo! Yesterday, you were 21, and can now drink rhubarb wine (and also spleen wine, if spleens ferment well).
Also, I have had some very interesting conversations in the course of the past 24 hours. And that's all I'm really going to say about that.
Tomorrow: I am off, and Yojimbo should be here shortly. Yay sekrit boyfriend!

1fandom - Themeset 1
Jun. 18th, 2008 08:10 pmI am sure this would have taken me less than the allotted two months if I hadn't become disgusted with some of the sentences and rewritten them, thus necessitating the rewriting of OTHER sentences that were basically about the same thing.
Speshful thanks tomomo for her speshful help.
Fandom: The Iliad
Themeset: One
Rating: Hard R for language, warfare-related violence.
Warnings: Long, poorly-written, obsessive revisiting of some scenes over and over again. Also, language and warfare-related violence, for those who are offended by that.

Kneel Before Zod
Jun. 18th, 2008 01:56 am+ I had a series of extremely weird dreams last night. Ugh. Actually, I slept about 12 hours; I went to bed around 9 and woke up a little before 9 a.m.
+ Based on the same frequently-advertised RPG ad I keep finding in my inbox, I'm about to come to the conclusion that Gor is fucking stupid. (No pun intended. Mind you, I am a big fan of good clean BDSM, but I'm not into the master/slave thing except once in a blue moon.) Although I did get a good laugh out of the subject line: "Serious Gorean members for online". Uh huh huh huh huh, members. Heh heh heh m heh heh.
I'm tempted to apply for the express purpose of playing the spider plant of Gor, but somehow I don't think the GM would see the joke. Have you ever noticed how some people take their jollies way too fucking seriously?
(On the other hand, I'm sure a total stranger who came across my running commentary on everything would be like, "Wow, Lee sure thinks samurai are SRS BSNS," so who am I. Except I'm not, you know, fapping to chanbara films or anything. Never having sex again would be an entirely fair trade-off if it meant I got to do a lot of things I want to do. :D)
+ Ihara Saikaku wrote arguably some of the most lolarious literature of Tokugawa Japan. I am omgsoinlove with Tales of Samurai Honor (the title is satirical; a lot of them are about anything but). Particularly recommended: "The Hackberry House, Cursed by the Gods". Admittedly, those of you who actually look up the story (or a synopsis), read about halfway through, and are familiar with my sense of humor will break into groans of execration. Srry.
+ I HAS AN INT0RVIEW. :DDDD For a resumé I sent back in April, of all things. Still, ain't complaining! It's fairly close (on the east side of Evansville) and it's clerical. We'll see if it goes anywhere, but hell, nothing ventured nothing gained.
+ I CAN HAS UNEMPLOYMENT. It's not much, and I can only draw it for about two and a half months before my maximum allotment is up (so I have to find a job before the end of that time, no matter what it is), but hey, it does eliminate some of the immediate money worries.
+ It was so so so so so nice outside today. Sunny, but not too hot, and not humid at all. There was a good breeze blowing, too. :DDDD ♥
+deliciouspastry has been updated, for the 1.5 of you who care about that sort of thing. momo will be glad to know that, thanks to her speshful help, I squeaked in juuust under the wire and got my fandom challenge done. I am taking a week off "assigned" fan writing to concentrate on some other projects (namely, cleaning up and posting "Kind", working on another fic tentatively titled "Penthesilea" because I have no imagination whatsoever, and t3h n0v3l). After that, God knows what'll happen.
+ I realize that nobody gives a shit about Greek mythology/Homer/classics/Trojan War fanfic, other than me, but right now that's what I feel like writing. IF PEOPLE AREN'T ON THEIR BEST BEHAVIOR, I CAN START WRITING SAMURAI FIC REAL FAST.

Things and Stuff
Apr. 16th, 2008 02:02 am1.) First and foremost, a happy belated birthday to tiye!
2.) It was raining on Sunday, when the buses don't run, and so I played taxi driver and ferried three people home from work. I should not get a cookie for this. I mean, hell, I had a car, it was cold and rainy, and I wouldn't want to be left stranded if someone was willing and able to drive me; it was the decent thing to do. Over the course of the drive, Other Ashley (so called to distinguish her frommomo) asked if I wanted to come out with her and some of the others at work on Friday night. (She didn't know yet where we were going, but "out" in Evansville tends to be the bar-and-club scene, which is totally not my comfort level at all. Still, it's not like it's going to kill me to tag along for an hour or two just to be sociable.)
3.) On the premise that I've been putting my life on hold in my never-ending attempt to get back to Bloomington, I joined the Pagan study group in Evansville (sponsored by our swell pals at the UU church). It's not the barrelful of chaotic fun that was Earth Religions, but I think I'll enjoy it. Also: there is a Pagan store in Evansville! Ttly.
( What other 3v0l lurks in the mind of l33? The Shadow knows! )

A happy if mildly belated birthday to momo (time marches on, and in its inexorable wake brings teh Ashmee one year closer to the grave, and all that). Also, while I'm doing happy-birthday catching up, a happy 25 1/26 birthday to angeljuggalette, because I was going to say something, oh, I don't know, TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN SHE ACTUALLY TURNED 25 and then I forgot despite my note to myself. ME 4 WIN!!!111
We had a lovely Easter, replete with tradition: hot cross buns, eggs (complete with the Army green Easter egg), lamb with rosemary and garlic, potato loaf!!!, green beans, and rolls, also poppy seed cake. Also The Ten Commandments was on TV, though I missed the first half hour (go figure. I watch television twice a year and I miss part of one of these occasions). Then, of course, I had to go back to work yesterday, and that really took the wind out of my sails. My job is sapping my goddamn will to live, I swear.
Also, everything that could possibly have gone wrong in the past couple of weeks HAS gone wrong.
In unrelated news: I think I am indeed going to establish the aforementioned speshful filter for frank discussion of wangst and perpetuating the damaging stereotype that I should be allowed to keep breathing air that someone who deserves it can't have. It will not be an opt-in filter, because inclusion is based largely on how comfortable I feel having you there. It will, however, be an opt-out filter, so if you don't want to endure my primordial wangst and think I might be putting you on that filter, say so. No opprobrium will attach to you, and the generations to come will not curse your name.

This post is pre-recorded for your convenience, and has been cobbled together from Friday and also from stuff that happened today. Thus, it is the Post That Ate Suburbia and contains all kinds of boring minutiae about my boring life.

May. 8th, 2007 11:35 pm1.) I spoke too soon about the election. Turns out the courthouses at Salem and English were open and I had to go there. Blecch ptooey. Even worse, I have to go BACK to Salem tomorrow even though all my other work is IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, because the clerk's office was closed for non-election business and by no stretch of the imagination could my judgment running be called election business.
1a.) Dear client: suck asshole! Yours sincerely,Akita Yukichi Lee.
2.) Two more weeks until vacation. Two more weeks until vacation. Two more weeks until vacation...
3.)momo, I made my pairing claim. My first fic is due on 8 June. Let the harrassment begin. Only your speshful help stands between me and certain d00m.
4.) NOTE TO USERS OF XFO, and anyone else who gives a shit about XFO: I've got a car payment to make and a few other bills to settle, but after that I will renew the hosting. That's the good news. I don't know if our files will still be there, though, but let's cross our fingers.
5.) Oh hey, you made it to the end of this post. Here, have a heart: ♥
