Yubsie's Yammerings

Dude, someone else actually wrote Death/DEATH! This delights me. :p

He Kindly Stopped For Me

Cracked out ships of awesome adorableness ftw. :p

So, since Adama/Roslin is the latest addition to my rather short OTP list, I started thinking about the list. And realized it's a depressing, DEPRESSING list. Seriously!

All of Yubsie's Full Blown OTPs EVER

Han/Leia: Actually did okay... other than the fact that one son is dead, the other son is EVIL and dead and their daughter lives at Donna Noble's Home for Abused Characters. :p

Cher/Hubb: Were in WOLF'S RAIN. :p

Angel/Collins: "Hey Nuki, have you seen... RENT?" :p

Zoe/Wash: Are the HMS TESSIE DEADSHIP.

Bill Adama/Laura Roslin: Are on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

Carrot/Angua: Are in the best shape on the list. Now if only we could get Tess to stop shipping them...


In conclusion: I need to stop letting Tess near my OTPs. :p

Okay, who sets off fireworks at 1:30 AM? Honestly! Some people in the bazillion apartment complexes around here were trying to SLEEP. :p

I have my Anime North costumes all ready to go now. That just leaves Ryan's. :p LUckily, tomorrow is a holidy. Probably won't go into work because I haven't decided what to do next. Other than trying to find an alkyl option... :p I'll stop now. :p

For the record, Discworld!Death doing ballet...

( Is like the greatest thing ever )

Also, WTF LAST LIKE MINUTE OF DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES.

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.

pirate_lass and helplessdancer both got me!

( So I talk about ten icons )

Also, the bonus episode of Torchwood this week? AMAZING. And whatcha mean TWO MORE WEEKS?

... wow, mediaplayer. Wow. :p

Dear people who keep writing to the paper claiming not to be part of LPPA:

You've lost. Be gracious.

They FINALLY decided to do something about the river after, oh, forty years instead of doing endless studies. So could we stop with the letters full of the same lies you've been spewing for years? (To recap: Actually, the dump is already being dealt with because it was illegal to begin with, the headpond is not clean, the headpond is not a stable ecosystem...) It was tiresome to begin with. :p

No love,

Me

I made Carrot and Angua Sims yesterday and fast tracked them through university (Basically, my usual policy of only playing every other semester combined with exempting them from being part of the rotation until they graduate) I decided to play taking into account Carrot's expressed Views on birth control. So yeah, they graduated with two kids and another on the way. :p Poor Caleb is quite possibly the ugliest Sim toddler I had ever seen. Of course, I wasn't expecting pretty considering both parents are based on Paul Kidby art, with the noses that come with it. :p

( PIcture of Caleb )

Well, LJ thought that my post was too big, so here's the stuff that wouldn't fit in the first. Need I reiterate that the cuts are NOT for the faint of connection? :p


( Daniel, Susan and Victor: College and beyond )

( The Tam Family )

( The Reynolds )

( Amos and Helen: College and Beyond )

( University of DEATH! :p )

( Thisland's College Adventures )

( College Dream )

( Let there be PILOTS! )

( Fiddler on the Roof? SOunds crazy )

( Holly's college years )

( Marigold and Timothy go to college )

( The Senior Tams )

So, got my schedule today. I'm going to be in Halifax for almost a week. I have Saturday June 9 off, so... hi jeepersjournal and neekabe, what are you guys up to? :p

Amusingly, there is apparently a Fredricton store scheduled after that. While non_horation is in Rome, of course. :p Because the universe will implode if we ever manage to meet. :p

And it's May 25. Haven't checked my flist yet to see what the damage from discworld is yet, but here's my May 25 icon! :p

Also, apparently my sister can hear the doorbell and I can't. Troubling. :p

SO, my default icon TOTALLY clashes with the Valentine's Day colour scheme. Thanks LJ, now my eyes are burning. :p

I watched Hogfather today and yesterday. It's so shiny! Teatime's voice is SO CREEPY! And DEATH and Susan were BANG ON. I love both of them SO MUCH. :p My only real complaint about the movie was that Nobby looked much too human. In general though, it was splendidly done. And a lot of my favourite lines were left intact. "They need fantasies to be human. To be the place where falling angel meets rising ape." Pratchett, I love you so.

And the match girl scene! I love that scene SO MUCH. Albert trying to explain why the little match girl is supposed to die and DEATH having NONE OF THAT! "You're not allowed to do that." "But the Hogfather is. The Hogfather gives gifts, and what better gift is there than a future?" LOVE!

Also, there should be a rule against certain songs shuffling up when I'm studying. Nothing quite like studying for a midterm and then suddenly hearing "I wish I could go back to college...". I informed the song that actually, she didn't. :p

Inorganic midterm tomorrow. Hard to study for, but hopefully it won't be deadly. The one from last year looked manageable, at any rate.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Vicki and I were looking at old Grindelwald (a Harry Potter RPG that I used to play in a couple years ago before it died an unfortunate death) stuff last night. We realized that the PB for Padma Patil looked awfully familiar. We eventually realized that she was...

INARA

I'll never be able to look at Padma the same way again. This is SO going in the House Cup.

Oh, and Rent in Italian is AMAZING. :D

Bit of a shopping spree today. I try to remind myself that this is because I won't be buying much of anything until the NEXT time I'm in civilization. :P

I picked up the last of the fabric for my Garnet costume. It's not QUITE the right weight, but it was what I could afford and I shall find a way of managing. Also, everything was 50% off today, which is always a bonus. The girl who cut it for me sat there trying to figure out where she knew me from until I said something about it being for a costume. SHe was at ANimaritime last year, so we talked about cosplay plans for this year's convention. :p

Then it was off to Chapters because I had a $50 gift card. Which is mostly used up now, since I bought Tempest, Wintersmith and The Science of Discworld III: Darwin's Watch. I wandered through the oddly organized youth section looking for Wintesmith since it's a Tiffay Aching book. Turns out I should have turned around after picking up Darwin's Watch, because there was more Pratchettness on the next shelf. :P

Then we went to the madhouse that is the mall on Boxing-Day-for-sale-purposes. My search for Sims 2: University turned into a bit of a quest, as a lot of the stores only had the later expansions that my computer can't handle. My sister eventually suggested TOys R Us, which, much to my surprise, actually had it. THat made me happy, because the only option after that was trying EB Games, and they were making people line up to get in the store. I don't much care for queuing up just to get IN to a store. :p I also eventually found a Christmas present for Ryan. And I bought the RotJ DVD, because they had the good version with the Ewok song. :p

I watched more Doctor Who yesterday. I've now seen up to The Long Game, plus the "Are you my mummy?" episode and The Christmas Invasion. I'm so far behind the rest of the world, but I SHALL catch up!

I also popped in Firefly to watch War Stories and Objects in Space, just to annoy admiraljello. Because I'm evil like that. :p Tess and I discussed the fact that a lot of Carrot/Angua song also work as Zoe/Wash songs. This doesn't bode well for my OFP, does it? :p

OH, and a meme from fyredra
