9:51p | oh hell yes, I have a Snuggie We went down to Salinas to J's sister's new place, and holy crap is it huge. It's got a nifty layout, and infinitely more space than their old house. We hadn't seen Natalie since before she was walking so it took a while for her to stop giving J and I the suspicious eye, but by the end of the night it was lots of carry-me arms, and where Sophie is usually all about her Uncle J, somehow this time I ended up with her hanging on me more often than not. I suspect it was that I was wearing a pink shirt so that boosted my coolness rating. It's interesting to see the ways her personality has changed now that she's a big sister. Sometimes I wish we lived a bit closer in order to visit more often. Anyway, we hung out, ate food, played with dolls, tried to devise a plan to steal their adorable pug, and at the end of the evening I got the bonus of belated b-day gifts. See subject. I have also increased my fuzzy scarf collection by one, so I should probably put out some of the ones I don't wear often out onto the curb. The drive was nice, and J and I talked a lot about the ways in which we'd like to focus on our projects for school and general creative things. I'm back to having a solid idea of where to go with my current assignments so I'm feeling very rejuvenated about them. Which is good, as I need to be doubly-focused this weekend, since I didn't actually get any extra days off, and the lab is closed tomorrow which is typically my dedicated time to go in and work all day on my homework!

6:11p | Handcrafted Silver Jewelry for sale The very talented Mirien is selling some gorgeous jewelry on her LJ. I am seriously lusting over the sakura pieces, but it's all lovely: http://mirien.livejournal.com/175423.ht Go look and maybe buy! Current Mood:  predatory |

4:55p | in order to avoid homework bulletpoints! - Although I managed surprisingly well on cards last year, there's no way I'm going to manage this year. I'm slightly bummed about this, but I think I'll just resolve to send more random letters throughout the year as that's way more fun to receive. - I made adorable cupcakes at work again. I wish I had an excuse to make them at home, or a whole lot more people to foist them off on. - The last two episodes of Fringe made me all excited and giddy, even with a brief Not Sure If Want moment in there. I need to get over my tendency to want to fit things neatly in canon and just write the smushy porn that I want to write. - There is absolutely no way to reply to an anon thread with you as the subject without a) being a dick, b) encouraging the drama, and c) being a dick. I replied anyway. - There is absolutely no way to blog/tweet/mention replying to an anon thread with you as the subject without encouraging the drama and being a bit of a dick, but it made me laugh. Oh, people. - I had this big complicated adventure dream with JDM in it last night. It was awesome. Then I had to get up and go to work, which was less awesome, even though our new brunch cook made me Huevos for breakfast. - Speaking of our new cook, she's been teaching J how to make stuff. Including this awesome grilled tomato salsa which is downstairs right now, calling to me. She's the best. - I severely need a nap, but if I sleep now I'll wake up at the time which I should be going to bed. Conflict. |

2:15a | Out for the count I am a little slammed with end of term papers and projects at the moment. I am reading you all and will get with the comments and things soon. But... I'm gonna have to really enforce a week off the journaling services. I have to use what I have of my "holiday break" for getting a foothold before some of this stuff eats me alive. All days will be study days, with the exception of Thursday in which I stuff myself with free turkey and other om nom noms at mom's house. I hope you all have a good week. Keep up the good journaling. I will need some non-textbook reading for when I come back! ^_^ v |

5:31p | [FIC] Batman - Batman/Joker - The Frayed Ends Spam! Wrote this not long after TDK came out but never posted it. Since the evil twin just wrote Joker/Scarecrow with similar elements, I knew I had to post it as the same time as hers or I'd never do it. Team Porn does Arkham. Arharhrh. The Frayed Ends Batman. Batman/Joker. R. ~1000 words. Nolanverse. Violence. Darkness gathers into a swarm around them and Bruce doesn’t want to let the bastard take one more goddamn breath. ( Read Me. ) Current Mood:  calm |

2:31p | [ART] Steve & Tony Warmup Drawing Just a little something to get me in the groove for doing homework. Done without access to my usual brushes so there are several big things that make me go DDDD:, but I didn't want to spend more than an hour on this. Warmup means warmup, Pondy. Avengers. Steve/Tony. G. ( Steve & Tony Warmup Drawing ) Current Mood:  geeky |

8:09p | Things what I have been doing Attended a benefit dinner last night with J, maiki, and Susan for a non-profit that we've done a lot of work for. Materials that both Susan and I had designed were all over the place and it was really nice to see it all out and looking snazzy. Susan's done a lot to get their informational materials/reports looking clean and professional. I did the benefit's programs, invites, and carried over from last year was a set of promotional posters which I'm still proud of. The project, per usual, made me gnash my teeth at times, but I do enjoy working for them, and it was flattering when people whom I didn't expect compliments from told me they were impressed by the invitations in particular. :D Leading up I had this worry about the pagination on the program booklet since I worked entirely remotely and never saw a proof (or even had time to run one myself!) but everything turned out beautifully and typo-free. By this point, I've done enough recent work to have a solid design portfolio again, so with so few classes left ahead of me it's nice to have that in addition to what's shaping up to go on my reel. I didn't mingle much, as J and I were introduced to some great people early on and there was no incentive to bother straying away from the interesting conversation to rub elbows with people outside my industry. It was somewhat fascinating attending something like this after so long, and also after now having worked on catering from the serving end! The appetizers, by the way, were awesome. I wish we offered some of them on our own menu, especially the warm cranberries and almonds in phyllo cups. Yum. My shoes were remarkably comfortable. I haven't worn actual heels in forever and it's nice to confirm that my knee can handle hours standing around in 3" heels. Current Mood:  accomplished |

5:10p | [FIC] X-men RPS - Hugh/Liev/Taylor - Boys' Club This was supposed to be anon commentporn, but then it wasn't fulfilling what the OP had asked for so I wrote it for Blue instead. Boys' Club X-men RPS. Hugh Jackman/Liev Schrieber/Taylor Kitsch. NC-17. 3400 words. God, tonight he'd be a slut for it if that's what they wanted. ( Read Me. ) Current Mood:  lazy |

4:14p | Made my day! On my way home from the university,I have to drive down a busy freeway along with people zipping at speeds above the legal limit. Today, I took the slow lane, driving about 5 under the limit which is more relaxing to me...especially after nursing a headache for the majority of the day. In front of me is a man on a red motorcycle with his longish hair flapping out of the back of his helmet. I think to myself that he must be really chilly, because it is autumn here and the temperatures are reflecting that. I continue to follow him to my exit and he takes it too. At this time, I notice that he is wearing a red jacket. He turns left, I turn left. He gets into the left lane, I get into the right so that I can make my turn on the next street at the stoplight. As we are both slowing down at the red light, I look over and see that he is wearing - a red fur Santa suit cuffed in white and complete with black boots and a real white beard. Cue me looking at him out my window and smiling. I point when he notices me and say "SANTA!" through my window like some star-struck little kid filled with Christmas glee. He looks at me, smiles and waves. ^_^ We went our separate directions after that, but I am still smiling. It's at those times when I just wish I had my camera with me! |

2:12p | I am so completely exhausted today. I have a low-level headache that refuses to go away. I am close to resorting to the excedrin that I have in my bag. I am also having issues with my eyes today. They are all watery and runny and gummy. It's gross. I just thank my lucky stars at this point that I am not wearing eye make-up for the amount of rubbing that I am doing on my eyes. Bleh. Spoke to my history professor on my redirect for the term paper. Have narrowed the focus down to the Nanjing massacre and Unit 731. He feels that even that may be too much and suggests that I choose one or the other. If that is the case, I may have to go with Nanjing with a passing mention to Unit 731 as they go a bit hand in hand. I think I will make the final decision this weekend based on what I have found in my sources. I certainly have more information on Nanjing, I think. And I have just checked out two more sources from the university library - one of which I wanted a few weeks ago, but was already checked out. I win. One more class today and then homeward I go. I'll make it. Also, you'll remember that on Monday I had a test in history that I continued to stress over. Turns out that on the essay portion I received and "A" and the test portion, an "A-". So, what is my problem? See, I stress myself out unrealistically. Now if only I could figure out how to make myself stop that. |

4:51a | Vagrant Story, Batman, The Joker, The Pirates of Dark Water fandom asylums ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} octopon - Pirates of DarkWater fandom asylum. Completed!gotham_gazetteCompleted!</i>vagrant_story - Vagrant Story fandom asylum. Pending/WIP.And, Please feel free to join commedia; a personal project of mine, aiming to review and analyze comics (and other selected media) that feature DC Comics' The Joker. It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans. Two important polls need to be voted on, as seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, etc. This asylum will continue to be WIP until further interest is shown. I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs. Current Mood:  hungry |

6:27p | Here's where I am at I sat down yesterday and planned out some things for handling schoolwork. Just seeing things written down is helping me understand the reality of what I have to do versus the OMG FLAIL of what I think I have to do. I have decided that I am only going to study until 6pm every daay and them put it away. This way I can have some semblance of an evening to watch a movie with Writer or read a book. In doing this, I have started to calm down a little. I realize that not only I am stressing myself out, but I am making myself sick. So, I have to learn to handle this better. Writer did some wonderful things: I have been graced with fresh fruit at mealtimes, the laundry is being done, and I have a person to bounce term paper ideas off of. The little things...they help so much. I am starting to feel a little more balanced. Now, these end of term assignments - wow! I am going to have to take them a little bit at a time. First, I have a group project on Kashmir. I have decided to do my portion on the Kashmiri Pandits (the refugees). The violence done to them is akin to genocide and the pictures I keep running across are graphic. Second, I decided back in September that I was going to write my term paper on the Second Sino-Japanese War, but the topic is huge and I have to narrow it down to something more manageable for a thesis. Silly me, I decided to tackle the Japanese war crimes of Nanjing and Unit 731. So, yeah, more violence...more small doses. As if in response to my overload of graphic photographs, I have a kitteh on my desk. Hermen is good for a cuddle or two. ^_^ |
