grr...

( medical TMI )

I've got too many active things coming up in the next few days to let this slow me down, so I'm heading to the doc today. Also getting flu shot today, supplies permitting.

I'm coming to the realization that I need to expand my vocal vocabulary. Between my overwhelming urges to drawl "Duuuuuuuuude..." and absurd ability to spout movie lines, I'm starting to sound like a cross between Bill and Ted and Sick Boy from "Trainspotting". But I don't think they have a pill for that :P

triumph of the fangeeks

jlsjlsjls warned me over a month ago that the sci-fi fan knitting community had glommed on to Jayne's knitted hat with glee - evidently there just isn't much good knitting in science fiction, so when they see a goodie, they go for it.

However, I never expected the Firefly-fan knitters to create a yarn shortage and achieve knittingdom microcelebrity (found thru betnoir! This just cracks me up, because anyone who's seen the episode knows it's a godawful ugly orange and yellow thing! It's downright unsettlin' </jayne>

No, I can't knit, so no Jayne hat for me, nor any attempt to purchase said hat. D. also has no interest in the hat, but, let's face it - if you've met D. you'd know he's a "Wash" guy, through and through, complete with dry sense of humor and amazing facility with technical equipment. His opinion on plastic dinosaurs: "they're ok". See what I mean?

Still to do: sleep and sleep, something I've not had enough of all week

Ongoing: listening to "Donnie Darko" soundtrack in the next room, and am reminded how fantastic it is. Also thinking how good the soundtrack to D.E.B.S. was - lots of mid-late 80s goodies (New Order, Cure, Erasure).
