bullet point update :)
Happy Birthday, taelyn_sass! I hope you have a wild one - or a peaceful and relaxing one, whichever you prefer.:D
Thanks for the milk & cookies,illuins_lair! *munches happily* You are a sweetheart - but then, you know this already. *massive wink*
I was feeling ambitious yesterday afternoon and decided to accomplish at least three different projects: cooking, cleaning and creating more audio tapes for my car player (from some mp3 files I had recently backed up on CD's, in the event of another computer crash). Which ended up with me having dinner at around 11:30 p.m.:/ A new kind of record, I suppose. Not that I never ever eat so late - I do, on occasion; but it's usually just a small bedtime snack, not the chief meal of the day.:P This reminded me why I usually don't plan to clean the place AND prepare next week's work-lunch supply all on the same day. I wouldn't have either - but after recent squirrel visits my room was incredibly filthy, and I knew that next weekend I wasn't going to have time to clean it either, because I absolutely HAVE to go to my parents' house and do laundry (I am running out of clean underwear... lol). See, even if I don't work on Saturdays, I can barely organize myself well enough to take care of all the basics - and if I do, it's just a major time management fail, more often than not.:/ I couldn't possibly work two jobs - or have kids, for that matter. I would probably turn suicidal within a week.;)
Speaking of my parents, though - I talked to them yesterday, and was happy to hear that dad is doing much better thanks to his new anti-seizure medication. The dizziness/vertigo episodes have stopped, and he can drive again! So he went back to work. Not as many hours as before, thank God - but still it's a far cry from the ridiculously low disability pay he was getting while he stayed at home. He still doesn't have the colonoscopy results from his doctor, but the technicians told him they didn't find anything alarming during the procedure, so most likely he will be able to schedule the gallbladder surgery within the next 2-3 months. And after that, hopefully, he will be like new.;)
In other news, I may have discovered another great A/L author:geale01. Recommended to me by vamp_ress. I just started traipsing around her LJ, checking out some shorter ficlets - and I find that the way she does the Elf & Ranger is very much to my liking.:) She also writes Aragorn/Faramir, if you are so inclined (yes, I'm thinking of you, surreysmum :). Anyway... it's always a delight to see someone still being active/creative in the LOTR slash fandom. Whoever says that this fandom is dead simply lost interest in it, imo.
And, finally, here's the interesting email I just got from Amazon: We've noticed that customers who have purchased or rated Alatriste [NTSC/REGION 1 & 4 DVD. Import-Latin America] have also purchased The Road on DVD. [Ha! What an astute observation, isn't it? ;P] For this reason, you might like to know that The Road will be released on May 25, 2010. You can pre-order yours at a savings of $8.97 by following the link below. Yes, I am one of those valued customers who paid over $50 to have a DVD of Alatriste. Will I pay about $20 (with shipping) for The Road? You bet I will.:D I may grumble about Amazon's intrusive marketing techniques, but they got me this time. Resistance is futile. I sense a Viggo Appreciation Weekend coming up soon.:P

Wow.. *imagines you running around* You´re being really organisative, missie. Ambition is the force to work with! It´s either to follow that or Inspirational Force, which oftentimes is mysteriously absent when needed.. =D *admires your multitasking!skillzz* (especially since those are rather non-existant in my own DNA)
And well.. 11.30PM!dinners are very continental and très chic!!!! *hearts*
Damn, it is hard to fit in basic things sometimes, I sooo know what you mean with the constant time management fail. I don´t even see how I would ever fit a job into my life again. Like; omg how am I going to have time to live?? *flailness*
Yay! underwear!!shortage makes a wonderful occasion to walk around buttnekkid and let the wind blow! (Think I´m gonna have to establish that rule at least once a week for me, now when the nasty winterchill is out of the way.) *throws knickers out the window* Weeeii!!!
SO happy that your dad is feeling better! It must be a relief for him that he can drive and work a bit again while waiting for the surgery. Go Dadsy!
Thanks for the recs, I will definetely check out her A/L.
-->LOTR fandom.. dedd?? Hahahhhahahhahhaa!!!!!!!! *rides out on pink unicorn to check out this rumour* It is not this day! *znerk*
Oww.. I wish I could be there on your Viggo Appreciation Weekend! *mutters*
