now with added footnotes

Today thus far I have:

+ showered
+ gotten dressed
+ fed the dogs
+ gotten together all the information I need to order my transcripts to be sent to U of O*
+ tidied the kitchen
+ read thehoyden's excellent new dS story
+ fielded a panicky phone call from my sister at the airport**
+ looked the non-work-study jobs listed online for school and wondered about my lack of qualifications for anything
+ cuddled under a blanket on the couch and watched Say Anything***

In the rest of the day to come, I plan to:

+ cuddle up under a blanket some and read Sandman****
+ bring all the laundry down from the upstairs
+ cook something tasty
+ plan an epic trip to either the convenience or grocery store to pick up Coke and C batteries and perhaps onions
+ try to find various people online and glomp them
+ see if I can find any writing mojo hiding around for me

All in all, quite satisfactory.

*One might point out that this could -- nay, should -- have been done weeks ago, especially since the mid-October deadline is rapidly approaching. I don't think it's that kind to point out other's shortcomings, though.

**She was afraid I was going to forget to tape Everwood for her tonight. This clearly requires multiple urgent calls from several states away. Ah, my little fangirl.

***On some level, I am aware there must be plenty of girls who watched this movie and did not totally imprint on Lloyd Dobler as total heartthrob/sekrit boyfriend of their hearts. It's still a little hard to believe, though.

****On careful searching through my various bookcases -- I really do need to organize them all; I don't know how this summer went so quickly -- I was able to determine that I own volumes one, three, four, six and seven of the series, as well as Endless Nights. I thought I had World's End, too, but no.

mmmm, crack

I just spent an hour or two browsing books and adding all sorts of stuff to my books-to-read list, and chatting with lyra_sena at the same time. At one point in the conversation, after I've just added lots of yummy books to the list, I tell Lyra first that "I really need to read more books taking place in the upper latitudes" and blabbing about Siberia, Arctic and Antarctic, polar exploration, and my special fondness. A few minutes later I have moved on to another topic I find endlessly fascinating: expatriates.

At this point, Lyra is laughing at me, I think, and I stick my tongue out at her.

It does go to show, though: I may have thought I got into it just because of the woobie and the gay and the connections, but due South fandom manages to fulfill even my most obscure kinks!

(In between these topics there was a digression about a completely nonsensical AU I apparently need to write someday. Because the crack, it is SWEET.)
