Hey fellow lj friends. Do you have Wishlists? I have had a couple but never posted links to them anywhere (or emailed it, that seems like a dickish move), I use them to keep track of stuff I want to buy. Like an "ideal shopping cart" if you will.

Have you ever had something bought for you from a Wishlist? Were you surprised? Was it awesome?

Also, feel free to pimp out any wishlists you have. What? I'm bored and like to see interesting crap people want to/will buy.

I had thought of making this a community post at wptjeh , but we have very few members, and no one ever posts/comments. Do you think it would be a nice idea? Maybe someone will get generous and buy stuff for fellow fans. (I know there's a gift exchange going on in Twitter. Maybe that would be better? But the thing about Wishlists is you don't have to hand out your personal info.) Thoughts??

Fuck my diet. I'm going to eat left over pizza washed down with coke for breakfast as I back up everything in my formerly defunct hard drive. That's right: IT'S ALIVE!! Zombie hard drive FTW!

This must be what happiness feels like.



LMAO my lj now looks like a completely detailed log of my descent into madness. At least it's entertaining... 

 You know what happened last night? My hard drive crashed. It died. For good. Which hard drive, you say? The one in which I had all my movies, and my music. And all the website stuff. Including the podcast stuff. EVERYTHING I HAD IS GONE. FOREVER. 

And I think I broke up with the guy I was seeing. In any case, I'm not pleased.

I'm just sitting here, waiting for whatever else is in store for me. Because life has a habit of kicking me when I'm down. And then spitting on me, stomping on me for three minutes... and then kicking me again. Sweet.

 Your challenge, should you chose to accept it, is to start a chronologically correct (except for the year of course) re read of Watchmen.

 I had this nightmare a couple of nights ago, but I scared the living daylights out of me, so I am going to share it with you. Of course, this was mostly scary because as I was dreaming it, it felt like it was actually happening to me, so you might read it and go "... meh"

I was in my old apartment with my sister, one that was tiny and on a 5th floor and had only the one, paper thin door to exit through, and into a very narrow corridor. For some reason, we were already scared and running/hiding from something or someone. I hadn't been disturbed by the dream up to this point so I can't remember much of what happened until then.

As we were starting to calm down, I hear a fumbling at the door. Not a banging, but, like someone trying to open it or something else. So I sneak over to it and look through the peep hole only to find some average yet creepy looking figure standing there. I freak out and lean against the door, telling my sister that there was someone out there. Then I suddenly hear more noises, and the door starts to budge a little. So I look out the peep hole again... and there are more people out there! Like 5 more. And now they are all trying to get the door open. I start yelling frantically at my sister to come and help, and to hide the dogs (idek) and every time I look back out there are more and more creepy looking figures outside! I woke up when the door was starting to give, completely terrified.

Thoughts? o.0

I think I might do NaNoWriMo this year (again). I have a very cracky story that I know I would have fun writing, and I will never do it unless I get into something like this. Yes, I am NOT a writer, I am aware of this.

I had fun last year but my story wasn't nearly as cracky, so I'm really looking forward to this insanity.

I have also decided to go back to school next year. I have no idea what I want to study -something free and fun. 

What is everyone else up to?

 My computer died. Until further notice, no podcast or website updating -REAL website updating. Let's just hope the useless ex fixes the stupid thing this weekend or I at least get my files out of it :(

Because I already did this with the Director's Cut and the theatrical dvd covers, I couldn't just skip this one.

If you can't laugh at your obsessionsfandoms they will, I don't know, eat you. Or, something.

Disclaimer: Do I even need to remind anyone how much I love this movie? Yeah, I didn't think so, just checking.

It's been a while since I did a proper Watchmen Spam in my journal. This merits a post. An unlocked post.



ETA: People, stop whining. Yes, they're trying to make more money. It's bad enough that the movie sort of tanked in the box office, it deserves to do well. Sure, some asshole, fat cat, movie business exec will get even richer, but then everyone else involved in it will gain some more respect for it. Also, it will be EPIC. And AWESOME.

YOU.



YES. YOU.













BOOBIES.


See? I can make you laugh in every medium. My work here is done.


Don't forget tears are not good for the ipod. Grab a tissue.

Just a post to go between all the friends locking.

Is there anybody out there reading this who isn't on my f-list? LOL I bet there isn't. But the title looks prettier without the padlock.

Well...

I'm still dating the guy I met earlier in the month and it's going very well. I'm very excited, considering I haven't had a date or a relationship in a couple of years. I wasn't looking for it, which is obviously the exact time when it finds you. I'm not complaining, of course.

I also started hanging out with a close friend again, like we used to back in the day. And we have so much fun together, it's insane.

But, I have neglected my girls (Team ShortSchach) and missed them so much :( I hope I can catch up with them during the week, and get the podcast stuff done also. You know, right now, the JEH void is working for me. At least until I get back into my usual routine or get a hang of the new one (if it lasts). I should train one of you to do editing in case I get too behind with work or something. After all, Summer is approaching here, and what if I want to enjoy the sun? Hmm. I think I can do both (or all three if you count work), though. Don't panic! :D

Maybe just because I'm sleepy. I'm chatting with my date from last weekend. He's very sweet. But I am terrible at this, so I am at risk of freaking him the hell out. LOL It would be amusing.

Anyway... The new podcast episode is out. Now everyone knows about the infamous voice mail message and I don't have to be all "friends locky" about it.

Everything else in my life sucks. Majorly. Like, I have way too many problems, more than I can handle, money included. It's surprising that I'm in such a good mood, actually.

Work is mainly to blame for this. And I'm a little lazy. I also get distracted by the shiny new stuff. Sometimes I'll get sucked into the podcast duty, researching, editing, coming up with enw stuff, and completely forget about anything else. But then I might start slacking on this duty and be interested in something else (like pimping out my blog so it would look cool).

But also, not much has been happening in my life. I mean, some real life worries, money, but nothing I would like to share in detail online.

The good news: my sister offered to pay for the tattoo I've been saving up for (current balance $0.00) as a birthday present. But I have no idea what I want. I mean, I sort of do, but I need to go to the studio and start designing it with my tattoo artist. And I have no time for this. My birthday is 20 days away. Hm, I just hope she doesn't change her mind if I can't get it on the exact day of my birthday. I would be sad. Now, do I dare get it on my arm/shoulder? The ankle is my safe place, but I really want one on my arm, I'm just not sure I can rock it. Tough decision. I probably won't get it there, unless I'm completely convinced.

So, elle_vee  found this and linked to it in her Twitter. It's enraging.

I just can't stand looking at his hideous face, and every time I see him he reminds me of the creepy pedophile from Little Children. Source.

I just *sigh* It's not so hard realizing the difference between an actor and the roles he plays. It's not, really. I know I already said this on the podcast but, no one would think Johnny Depp was actually a pirate because of the Pirate of the Caribbean movies. I know this is a ver dumb, rare case, but come on.

Ok, I'm done now.

I finished reading Transmetropolitan last night. It's awesome. I'll need to re read it later because there's just so much to it. There were so many sad, touching moments in it, mixed in with the profanity and the inappropriateness and the drugs. Simply amazing. Oh, and you know how I mentioned that I am utterly in love with Watchmen's color palette? Well I am just crazy about the page design and all the different angles that were used in TM.

I didn't work today because I worked yesterday for most of the day, so I just edited the podcast and dedicated some modly attention to wptjeh. Very calm. But I will have to murder my boss tomorrow if he doesn't come and pay me because I still need to pay this month's bills.

I got a tweet back from Jackie Earle Haley today, so 8D YAY! It's so geeky that he still signs all his tweets. We know it's you, man. However, I did not appreciate all the barbecue talk because now I'm hungry, but whatever.

Anyway, we kicked off the Who Runs Paramount? contest for the podcast and I'm very proud of it. I think it's a funny idea and I really can't wait to start getting entries. All my minions ShortPodSchachs were stellar in the crafting of this awesome contest.

And wikiwikiwick  made this incredible plug for it. Listen to it and be amazed by it!

The crackiest fanvid ever.


Song is Someone Is Crazy by Jonathan Coulton

I need to get paid. Like yesterday today. But I have to finish A LOT more work first (thanks stupid flu for making me get behind on work). But I can't really get into work because I'm worried about all the bills I need to pay. Every day that goes by I get a little more freaked. x(

I hate being a "responsible adult". I'm not responsible at all.




There's less drama and more fun at my blog http://aflashofenlightenment.blogspot.com/

it's so WTF I think I want it. I'M SO CONFUSED!!!


Thanks to elle_vee  who found it and shared.
