*insert random spooky sounds here*
Sep. 22nd, 2004 06:31 pmWhoa...update screen looks freaky-different. Guess they've been tinkering with and adding stuff again.
Happy first day of autumn. Doesn't look like it outside, or feel like it. Which is too bad, as I want fall like crazy. Probably will be a few weeks before it acts like it. Then we'll get winter. Eh.
Oddly, my mood has been very autumn--kinda that late fall sorta feel. Sort of like the stereotypical Halloween night. So it just jars me for some reason to look outside and see it be sunny. It should be grey-dark and gloomy, and cold, and have that dry, gusting, dead-leaf rattling leaf wind blowing. Toss in some abandoned Victorian-era houses, some deep bells tolling in the distance, and yeah, that'd be kinda my mindscape.
And yes, I'm weird. I know.
Everything reminds me of Yami no Matsuei today. Couple random OST songs coming up on my iPod, not to mention a song that's always made me think of a couple of the characters...some images coming up on my screensaver...reading a fic that is very good, but left me unsettled and skin-crawly for some reason (rather dark, WIP so the fixes obviously aren't there yet, and yeah, probably helped start my odd mindset). So now I want to rewatch. *Again*. Maybe the next time I can catch some time on my own.
Was feeling actually close to decent for a few hours this morning, but that seemed to change as I hit afternoon. Really tired of the borking and the lung crap and the croaking voice and throat annoyance and tiredness and everything. I suppose it's all getting a small amount better each day, but the key word is small. Frustrating. Very.
So I missed the advance sales of the 'Night at Lou's' tickets for Friday's concert (the one where Blue October and several others are playing)...by one day. Seriously. So I guess I go extra early Friday night to make sure I can get an at-the-door ticket. Feck. My luck. I know Blue October has a show in Lincoln on Oct.7, but that would get me home super late, and I can't afford to miss more work. At least with Friday night's concert, if I feel cruddy after, I've got a couple days to rest. But Blue October is worth it. So. Worth it.
Saturday Take-sensei has invited Anj, Kelly, and I over in the afternoon for experimentation with food--I guess shrimp tempura and some sort of salad with a vinegar dressing thing? I figure I'll probably just observe and not food-handle, since even though I'm not like infectious, it would be ew to others for me to be coughing so much around what we're going to eat. I should think about making Take-sensei copies of my Waterboys TV eps. I know she liked the movie, and has a laptop with Quicktime.
Other than that Yami fic, been reading a lot of angsty Sirius and Remus fic of late. Not sure why I get in moods as far as reading goes, but that's what I'm up for at the moment (though I'd probably be really up for more FMA stuff if Sleeps with Coyotes or Sol1056 posted more). Kinda am in the mood to read more tonight, but doubt I'll hang out at the computer much more. Tired and wanna flop. Not sure if there's any movies/anime I have that's of a similar mood, though. Mmph. I could probably just plug anything in though. I'll just fall asleep anyway.
...that empty my head? Yeah, basically.
