shadowkatI've figured out a way finally of adding Neil Gaiman's blog to my flist. Oddly, I prefer his blog writing to his novel and comic writing - why? He's quite witty. Or rather, wittier than in his novels. Or maybe I appreciate it better in this format? (ponders). My favorite bit? To continue to prevent Sarah Palin's inexorable rise to first place on the best twitterer roster, vote for me as the best twitterer. (Uh sorry Neil, while I have a twitter account - happened purely by accident, I refuse to go on twitter on principle.)
Annoying and frustrating work day. Nothing worked. Death by small details. Hope your work day was better. It's days like this that I sort of miss school, not being exactly academically inclined - I don't miss it all that much. Am considering transporting novel to work place desk top to play with whenever I get bored, but resisting urge - since that's dicey. Prefer to keep personal stuff off workplace computer. Could play with a new novel I suppose, one that is not just inside my head would most likely be key here...
LJ was also annoying down most of the day - guessing hosting those games is maybe taking up too much bandwidth? That's what happened with Facebook - it kept crashing too. Video Games = Computer Death, it's true! I know whereof I speak.
Craving a pot-boiler romance, with lots of banter, and power-plays, and two lead characters who are equals and sex. Right now in a sex mood more than a violence/action scene mood, it's a thing. But can't quite find it. If you have rec's - go ahead. Fanfic, whatever. If not, oh well.
Am bored. And in a bit of funk. It's March. It's cold. It keeps raining and snowing. I want spring.

Lugged home a new air purifyer, since could not breath or sleep well last night - due to current one breaking. It's the same brand, just brand new - because the old one worked beautifully for four years, why mess with a good thing? Well except to buy replacement pre-filter's this round, which could not find last round - so kept vaccuming it instead. Lugging home a huge box, one that was sort of falling apart, not the easiest thing in the world. Almost killed myself going down the escalators at the mall alone. Then we have to factor in walking three blocks, going around traffic (cars and people chatting on cell phones which are sort of the same thing, except one is moving slower than the other, and less likely to kill you). Plus, down and up steps at subway. Made me miss having a car - although, that would have been headache inducing too - considering I'd have to find a parking spot (I'd rather do the walking obstacle course. Cheaper, safer and far less headache inducing.).
Trying to watch American Idol - and it is giving me a headache, how do the people at work watch this? Between the commercials, interviews, and judges, not to mention really crappy music - I'm getting irritated. Poor Elton John - is the victim this week. Makes me want Glee to do a rendition just to show us how it should be done. Also, the judges like everyone. Personally, they sound good enough, but nothing special. I like John's renditions of his own songs better.
Also watched The Good Wife tonight - which I loved. They better not cancel this show - apparently it's on the bubble. Stupid CBS. I don't watch any other shows on that channel that I can think of - it's wall to wall paint by number proceduralville, although I've admittedly never watched NCIS (wait is that on CBS or NBC? One loses track), which I've been told is quite good. CBS is also littered with sexist and highly offensive sitcoms. The only good show on that network is The Good Wife. I thought the ratings for once supported me in this.
Oddly I never feel like reviewing Good Wife or analyzing it. Not sure why. There's a lot of chewiness in it. For example - I am in love with Alan Cummings Eli, and Carey has all sorts of interesting edges. Plus there's the three wonderful core female characters that continue blow me away. And the on-going theme about politics is on-target.
Oh, apparently David Tennent (the 10th Doctor Who) is marrying the actress who played his daughter in the 4th season of the new Who, and is the real life daughter of the actor who played the 5th Doctor in 1980s. At least I think it was the 5th Doctor, I'm not really in the fandom and didn't watch that many Doctor Whos back then. Say that sentence quickly in your head a few times and see if you get a headache.
Off to shower and bed. Exhausted.

You tend to be more exposed do to spam portals, etc. Also email servers and business servers will often treat you as spam because you have a video game attached and that makes you an entertainment site. The v-gifts is another problem. I tried to buy one for the whole Japan thing - and it rejected me, mostly because my credit card company was protecting me from such things. LJ really isn't set up for this type of stuff. Facebook is, and it kept crashing because of it.)
