Win: ...personal care, including hygiene and food, up to high standards (yay). Called doctor (after dilly-dallying about it for, oh, five hours). Also, CHOM 97.7 FM Online Player ♥.

Win Too Look Forward To: Castle, Bones (Hey, 5x14 has demons! I'm all over that shit. It'll be like research for the 11-fandom-crossover thing. Which will never happen.)

Fail: Job-hunting not done in favour of multiple crying bouts of utter wretchedness (yay). That's a pretty big fail right there. Caffeine-induced headache after half a mug brings what would have been a win squarely into the fail. Social interaction: 1 out of 10 (i.e. "hello" and "thank you" from public service workers). Email inbox checking: obsessive and disappointing. Zest for life: entering into the negatives.

Fail to Look Forward To: Job-hunting (let's see if we can at least google something). Body continues to be squishy and nothing's being done about that.

I Don't Know What This Is: Bought chocolate cake and sherry. Bought a birthday card for my brother, who's birthday was February 4. Went outside, but didn't take a long stroll.

* I Was A Teenage Billionaire Psychopath, JTRowland

Today's Win: Talked to mom. Went outside for an approximately two hour walk (during the day, due to mom's prompting). Had a healthy lunch of vegetarian falafel with stuff-it-into-the-pita salad bar. Decided to call doctor tomorrow for appointment due to a) skin going back to its fucked-up status and b) fear for my kidneys (both reasons which, y'know, suck).

Today's Fail: Broke down completely after speaking with mom. (Ah, wrenching sobs of indeterminate fail, brought about by massive hormonal fuckedness, social withdrawal and panic over the future, how I loathe thee.) Didn't look for a job. (Major, major fail.) Instead, knit and watched Nevermind the Buzzcocks for fear of the Dodo of Doom dragging me down again. Also, number of tabs with fics pending to read: eight. Likewise, Human Target scribbles to be written as a review still pending, as are three dreams - to say nothing of fic - and has been pending for about a week now.

* Ghost Busters (1984)

Went to sleep yesterday at 4 am with no trouble, meaning I turned to the clock and went, holy shiatsu, is it really that late? I watched a bit of quebecois stand-up (ow, my linguistic brain bits) and loads of Craig Ferguson's opening monologues (♥).

Today I went to Den Haag, walked about, had Subway for breakfast/lunch and listened to Catherine Tate and David Tennant take over for Jonathon Ross' radio show for the one time. They even had Anthony Stewart Head, who was Giles and has the most amazing voice ever, in the sense that it's like a hot beverage on a cold day.

Once home, I made French toast because I can and will now watch Nightmare on Elm Street 4. I don't remember whether queenanthai said this one was any good, but for the record, NOES 3 is flippin' awesome. Watch 1 if you must, avoid 2 like the plague (unless you have booze and the desire to snark), and definitely watch 3. I think 7 is another one that's awesome. Hell, I'm going to work my way through them all, so we'll see. And now I'm kinda psyched about the remake. *sigh*

In other news, I continue to lack progress in anything worthwhile. Yays.

* "Fireflies", Owl City

I haven't left my room all day, save for basic needs like food and stuff. Most of my day has been spent compiling the previous 3 posts. I think this is what they mean by compulsive. And it's not like anyone's going to give two shits anyway. Once I finished the posts, though, I got dragged out of the wonderful focused zone I'd been in and promptly went into the wibble zone. I was going to go outside, even, but the wibbles wrecked havoc on that plan, and I was too afraid to pass by people in the kitchen on the way out. This is why I'd rather just not think some days. This is not a happy Sickle. It may also not be a healthy Sickle, because I forsee a need for antibiotics. It may be too early to cry havoc and let loose the dogs, but I hate my body. Also, I'm fucking starving all the god-damn motherlovin' time. And no, I don't really have food. And I'm sick of being alone lonely.

In other news, Supernatural was awesome.

ETA: I dreamt last night that Freddy Kreuger (identified but not seen) was after me at night in a small town, around picnic tables and things like that in a horrible cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek thing, except when he caught me, or I caught him, his face came right off, like a squishy mask, and it was the saddest thing in the world, and so was he. [I may have read too many fics wherein Rorschach is forced to remove his mask. Or maybe the sadness is from something else.]

Quote of the Day: "Tiny Vessels", Death Cab for Cutie

So when you ask "Is something wrong?"
I think "You're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now.
No, we can't talk about it now."

* averypartofme, ibid

I am currently being horrendously obsessive, reading through ack_attack's Ongoing Lost Post, copy-pasting and coding comments. I'm on page 62 of the comments. There's 143. I can't stop.

So until that's done, I ain't posting it. (...duh.) And there's also my wanting to write up a review for the latest Human Target ("Sancutary") because there is so much squee. I mean, look at me, squeeing over HT! I never thought I'd see the day! (Ok, I'm squeeing over Guerrero and his sub-plot, but still.) But omg, I loved this episode. Also, hello, Supernatural's Crowley's crossroads underpass! The fandoms are bleeding together with location cameos! Aaaand now I'm imagining Crowley failing at making a deal with Guerrero, and Castiel meeting the G-man and going o.0 Why, brain, why do you taunt me with these half-formed scenarios when you know I can't be arsed to write them! Or when no one else will probably write them! Stupid brain!


In other news, am going to Spain next week for medical studies (the whole, my back's somewhat fucked up and I'd like to know how much, exactly, thing). Crazy, I know, but if not now, never. And hoo-boy, was there a bunch of hoops to jump through, because they never sent me my permanent health insurance card way back when, and then they changed the system, and then I wasn't even in the system, which is A Bad Thing, but finally yays, I have medical rights.

* W. Eugene Smith

I went outside today (three days in a row! \o/ whoot!) although it was to ask something at the bank, which was closed because it's Monday and no one's open on Mondays, what the hell are you thinking, you crazy foreigner? So instead I asked Eerke, which is what roommates are for anyway. So I'm all paid up for the ski trip, which is a thing for celebration, I guess.

The rest of the day was spent writing a cover letter for the lion mane article and sending the reviewed documents to my supervisor. I'm a bit freaked out that I'm the one who's going to be in charge of uploading the manuscript to the magazine and doing all that submission stuff. Argh, I can't deal with this! I need to save my oompf for the jobhunt!

Speaking of, fail. I've narrowed down the list of jobs I'd come across over Friday, which basically means I narrowed it down to lab work. Which is not cause for the happy arms. Little else was done in the jobhunt department (again, no happy arms) but there's tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will not suck!

The evening was spent doing a touch of exercise because I realized that it was a bit insane to suddenly decide to go out running when it's 5 degrees out. I also listened to various podcasts about Human Target (which I am looking forward to, what the hell?!?) and Jackie Earle Haley (see Links) and sowed up the majority of the (horrible, awful, ugly) knit elephant toy until my finger up and died because it's bloody hard to sow when you're using a triangle paperclip and not McGyver. (The things I can do with a paperclip, dental floss and a pencil, yo.)

Now I'm going to scrounge up dinner and maybe knit and listen to Made of Fail. Or something.

I watched Dollhouse's finale. Damn you, Joss! The one thing I ask! I also watched Winged Creatures (trailer) which did nothing to help cope with Dollhouse. The bits with Forest Whitaker pissed me off royally (Get the fuck out of Las Vegas, moron! Especially when you've just won a shitload! Stop! Gambling!) but it was pretty good nonetheless.

This was, of course, another film watched because Jackie Earle Haley was in it (look, I find an actor who rocks my socks, I watch their films, okay?) and his bits were short but good. And I have to admit, the man can wear a tight t-shirt really well. Like, really.


My lean-and-mean body type preference is once again confirmed. (Also, it's hilarious that after the husband's outburst the wife stands up and totally towers over him. Bwahahaha! You use that advantage, girl!)

* Don Delillo

Omg! Movie I've vaguely remembered for years and years and couldn't find the name to! Oh hai The Stuff (1985)!!!

In other news, I went to Noordwijk today to walk along the beach sidewalk. It was snowy and windy and cold but a fine enough time was had. I took my diary, Currently Reading book and Currently Writing fanfic, but didn't even take 'em out of the bag, as my plan of having a delightful coffee by the sea was canceled in favour of aimless walking.

Still worried about the ski trip, having just realized that it's not going to be just skiing but that extended events of social activities will take place. Tonight was the Rollerdisco event in Amsterdam that Willy'd invited me to, but seeing as she's in Kenya and I've no one to go with, and this is an Open to the City Event, rather than a Close Friends Event, and I'd rather not wander the empty streets of 'dam in the wee hours waiting for the elusive train, I'm not going. Which is fine.

About the job hunt, today was not involved in the proceedings. Dad's said that it would be cheaper if I moved back in with them, and while I agree with Mom that that wouldn't solve anything (also, I'd go insane), I still sometimes think that it might be good because then I'd have some sort of structure to my days and get more shit done than I'm getting done now.

Now I've got the Dollhouse finale to look forward to - and by gods, if anything happens to Topher, I will cut a bitch - and Nightmare on Elm Street 3. Le shiz.

I fear my mind's gone a bit funny. The Psyche (Old Post Explains All!) has now moved to a cafe where it's alternating between phone conversations, science-fail or fandom-fail rants, crying into its coffee, or trying to get the attention of X sitting at the neighboring table. There's been some success in the latter, but mainly just frustration and fail, and hey, at one point, there was some Random Shooter on Murderous Rampage, which wasn't cool (except Pysche got to not suck and be proactive, which I guess was the point). So I don't know what that says about me.

* "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been", Reliant K

Today I signed up for a week-long ski trip with the international students, because it would be good for me to be social, and I'll never again have the opportunity for an event that cheap, and because my parents think I should.

Skiing scares the shit out of me, I'll have to say. It's the speed and the thought of falling downhill, like there's a precipice at the end of the hill and I'm just going to fall off. I can ski decently well, but it feels a bit like I'm about to freakin' die of fear.

The fear of speed is a lovely little psychological scar from the time I was riding a particular bastard of a horse ( Read more... ) So that's why the sensation of speed freaks me out, and why I don't quite enjoy skiing. But I've signed up and I'm going to go and hopefully make friends and have people to hang out with for a week somewhere in France. And two days after that, in March, I'm hopping over to Rome again, because I've got to experience Easter Mass with the Pope and all that jazz.


Apart from that, I've skimmed through 420 job placements in the biology section of a search page, eaten cake, watched Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and failed at life.


I was trolling through my old entries yesterday looking for stuff, when I came across the entry for March 21, 2008 and I realized, with horror and disappointment and defeatism, that I'm at the same place as that post. Almost two years later, and I'm in the same fucking corner.

Lately I've been trying to come up with a way to legitimately put as many crossovers into a single story line as possible. Why? It's cracktastic fun, that's why. It's also surprisingly easy, because every fandom has at least one convenient opening. Especially the supernatural ones.

For example, the easiest points in each fandom that can be used to make a crossover include:

Time-and Space Traveling - You can get there from here or now. ( Read more... )

Medicine - We'll take you there with flashing lights. ( Read more... )

Human Target 1x03 "Embassy Row" Review: I was watching 1x03 last night, snarking and squeeing this new show, and figured I ought to write a review of some sort. I've already ranted over the show's blurb. ( Blurb and trailer )

- SIMON MOTHERFUCKING TAM IN THE HOUSE! There was squee. Lots of squee.

- The extended fight-scenes are still much too long, allowing me to go from "Omg! Noo00ooo!" to "Adrenaline rush!" to "The choreography's interesting..." to "And it goes on...and on..." to "This is just filler, isn't it?"

- Quite a number of plot points were predictable - maybe not from very far off, but it did have me sitting there going, "He's totally going to do X, isn't he?" and "Saw that one coming..." and, in one memorable scene, cursing at the screen, "Not a hooker! Not a- Think you idiot!"

- Still don't really give a rat's ass about Chance, which isn't good, seeing as he's the main lead and does most of his scenes away from the two supporting leads. *sigh*

- I want more Winston and Guerrero scenes. Like, loads more. For one, I give (much, much) more than a rat's ass about them. Two, they're interesting. Three, they work so well together, it's hilarious.

- Guerrero says "dude" a lot. I find this amusing. (And for some reason, I want him to chat away with Hugo Hurley from Lost.) Can he have more scenes, please? He does manipulative mind games and other awesome things.

* Jackie Earle Haley, Comic Con

It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.*


So my graduation has come and gone. I got there half an hour early and waited outside while Important People fiddled with papers. As one of these people walked passed me and into the room, she asked if I was alone. Yeah, it's just me. I could hear them a bit later, saying how I was helemaal alleen** and I felt just awful about it, not having a single soul present with me. Any friend I might have had at the graduation was out of the country - including Willy - as were my parents and brother, and my supervisors were also out of the country and my program supervisor had gotten fired last year during the department's Epic Shrinkage.

There were three people seated at a long table and I sat across from them in a chair, a bit like this (but in a nicer room, with less space away from the table and with no drugs anywhere). The guy in the middle read out a little speech about the program I'd done and my average grade and how he was "delighted" (yes, with air quotes*** and all) to give me the diploma.

But first, Maarten (the prof' who'd helped me with the ArcGIS program) had a few words prepared, which he read out, mainly detailing what I'd done, just listing it out and the like. There were brief references to anecdotes or somesuch and a few comments on myself as a student and as a person. Then he read out a bit that my supervisor had sent, which was totally unexpected and really sweet of him. Then I got my papers, signed the giant Guest Graduate Book.

Then Maarten accompanied me to the Sweating Room (where students used to wait before their exams) to add my signature onto the wall amongst the thousands of others (including, protected behind clear plastic, those of the Queen, a few Princes, Mandela and Churchill). The walls were packed. Maarten took a couple pics, which was very sweet of him - I'll post 'em when I get 'em.

He then invited me for a coffee, seeing as I had absolutely no one. Pity coffee, I can has. But it was, again, very sweet of him and I actually had a good time talking with him for an hour and a half. He even gave me a graduation gift! A frame photograph of Amboseli with Kilimanjaro in the background, taken from the Observation Hill and overlooking the swamp and incoming elephants. (Yes, I know exactly where it was taken.) I am just blown over by his kindness. I have no idea what I would've done instead - wandered around like a sad wet wraith, I guess.

Life Accomplishments of the Day: I sent in the application for the Assistant Scientist job in Scotland. Here goes nothing.

Fandom Accomplishments of the Day: I've finally gotten my act together in terms of writing again. I've decided to tackle The Balloonist's Wife (Lost, focusing on Henry Gale's wife) mainly because it's so close to finished. I have 4,600 words of it done, and it's just missing one scene and six sub-stories (which can be as short as drabbles). So yay on that.

I also want to tackle the essay Real Heroes Give Up: On Personal Sacrifice for the Greater Good, which I've worked on twice in two years. Oy.

Then there's the whole slew of plot bunnies and half-done stories on sickle_stories (which will be done, by gods), although I'm also starting to think about exploring the aftermath of Time for Something Biblical. I never did get Chip to go on patrol with Dean, although I threatened to do so. I mean, I could edge the whole thing towards SPN's The End time frame... (Blame seschat for all this musing.) If I write a little every day...

Review of the Day: Watched Little Children and loved it. It's a beautiful movie - the way it's filmed, the character's, the voice-over narration, the mini-stories weaving in with each other. There were two bits where I cringed in secondhand embarrassment and I lost count of how many times I wanted to smack certain supporting characters (and the entire community in the pool scene) for being so narrow-minded. I certainly recommend this for the story, the acting, the theme and everything in between. (PS: It was a book first, and a highly well-received one at that. The ending has one very different bit.)

Fannish Rant of the Day: As I've mentioned previous, I've started watching the new Fox *spits* television series Human Target mainly because there's a supporting actor there who currently owns my rocked-out socks. I'm sticking around with the show despite not being impressed with it - gods know I watch shows for less, right, Heroes - but I really want to lay the smackdown on whoever was in charge of making sure the show's concept (as exemplified below in the blurb) and the show itself actually matched.
