this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Apparently I would rather *read* Unfuck Your Habitat than actually unfuck my habitat. I am made of lazybones and slothful organs.

Okay, I'm going to go wash the dishes (which consist of 3 bowls, 2 plates, and the crockpot insert from last night's chili; it should take me less than 5 minutes, which is why I keep ignoring it). And then change the sheets.

I really need this new job to start, man.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have my doubts about them -- early on, I offered to work on their website for barter and they were downright insulting. I'm also not sure that they're a =legal= pawnshop.

Oh, interesting. Never mind, then!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Speaking of Pacific Rim (We were, right?)

I finally saw it the other night! I... liked it? But if it hadn't been GdT directing and Idris being awesome and Pearlman chewing all available scenery, I probably would have hated the movie. However, it's kept me thinking about that universe for the past few days.

Hubby keeps saying I should watch it. I have vacation in a couple of days, it should still be in the cheap theaters.

Amazing! I lost it by the end. Doggie! Pew pew pew!

hip deep in pie

Ha! If only. No, just on the same night.

My head would be exploding, but I suspect I will have already seen them both by then. But will PBS sneaky pete extra scenes into their version of DA?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I probably would have hated the movie

I thought it was a great mix of the biggest machines beating up the biggest animals with "hey! we snuck in a female protagonist during your adrenaline rush!"

I am very pro it, and sure, a lot of that was GdT, but his choices to tell the plot threads the way he did were predominantly good ones.

And, seriously, Transformers should have looked this cool.

Hey, Wazers! I just noticed I can get extra points if I add friends. No, I don't know why I'm jumping when their artificial economy tells me to jump, BUT I WANT MORE POINTS. Anyone willing to let me use them shamelessly? I promise not to stalk, like, ever.

Giant robots punching giant monsters really should be enough, but so often, it isn't.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'm home with a sick kiddo today (currently napping), and finally catching up with my Buffistas after a busy weekend and two days of my new job. (Asking to take today off, after having worked only two days, was really not in my plans for my first week on the job, but I'm lucky that my new boss seems very understanding.) The job is good and interesting, but man, I forgot how tiring it can be to start a new job and have to meet everyone and learn lots of stuff very quickly. I feel like I could sleep for days.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Arrrgh! My landlord just suggested I get wireless headphones for late night tv watching. MY TV WASN'T ON!
