ria_oaksbleh, annoying day... not feeling that great, and I had to go get new glasses because mine broke on Wednesday (woe.). I've been holding them together with duct tape, but... anyway, long story short, I ended up having to get an eye exam late this afternoon to update my prescription, which was a pain in the butt. Have nice new glasses now, though, so yay. :) Still feeling kinda icky, though... sorry I couldn't make your party, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
garran - by the time I was done getting my glasses at about 5:30 I was kinda pooped and it was getting late... figured I would prob be missing dinner, anyway. Happy birthday, though!
Anyway, other than that... had lunch out then went to the North Van City Library which has moved to its new building since I was last there. I was running because I had to catch the bus to get to my eye appt at 4, but I managed to grab the two things I went for (Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns which I've been wanting to read because I know it's a classic and I want to read more Batman, and WOW they have an entire graphic novels section and it is pretty sweet - much better than at the Vancouver City Library, which you'd think would have a good selection... anyway, also picked up Anderson Cooper's book to read because dammit fakenews fandom is eating my BRAIN this past week and I'm slightly obsessed now. -_-) And trying to imagine the look on my mom's face if I told her I've been reading Anderson Cooper porn. XD XD Yeah. Could be funny, anyway... But yeah, this fandom is addicting. ^^ Though I've discovered, much to my disappointment, that I don't get MSNBC unless I get Shaw's Digital TV package, so I can't watch Keith Olbermann. :( :( Why get me addicted to a new fandom when I can't even watch the shows?? *pout* So yeah, I'm sad. On the plus side, Anderson was on Leno Thursday night and it was pretty entertaining (I LOL-ed when they were talking about that reality show that he's watching right now, and they showed a picture of his favourite girl on the show and Leno was all "I can see why you like her" (referring to her... assets), and Anderson so totally did not react or even really acknowledge it. So much for not openly admitting that he's gay, lol. Anyway. I was amused.). Oh, and Bill O'Reilly on The Daily Show the same night? Pretty hilarious. He and Jon were fairly civil at first, then it totally devolved into a near-yelling match when they started talking politics. XD (also, he seriously honest to god thought that stuffed bear was a panda? Good god, what planet is this man living on?). Gotta say, I'm glad we don't get Fox News up here - that man is scary. o.o
...yeah, I'm obsessed. I'm a bad, bad person. I'm going to the Special Hell. ;) I haven't even watched half of my shows this past week because I was too busy reading fic (so on that note, don't tell me what happened on Supernatural!! Or PB, T:tSSC, or Grey's).
ON ANOTHER NOTE.
caesaria82 posted this and it looks like fun, so I'll do it too...
Step One:
- Make an LJ post, albeit public or locked. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. These wishes can be anything, from simple and fandom-related (a fic written about your favorite pairing), to medium (a DVD you want), to really extravagant (a brand new car). Just make sure these are wishes for things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real life things, like a DVD or CD, make sure you include some sort of contact information in your post. It can be your address or your email address, as long as Santa (or one of his elves) can somehow get in touch with you. ;)
- Make sure you post a version of these guidelines in your LJ, because it's important that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two:
- Skim through your friend's list (or the brand new friends of friend's list, or random journals) to see who has posted their list. Now is the most important part: if you find a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make that person's wish come true. Sometimes your trash is another person's treasure! If you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use - or you even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free - give it to someone who wants it.
Step Three:
- Post this, in your LJ, any time after November 1st. Then repost it two weeks before Christmas.
Step Four:
- You don't need to spend money on these wishes to make them come true. Only spend money if you want to. The point isn't to put people out; it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf. It's to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not. It's all up to you. :)
- There are no rules for this project, nor are their any guarantees or any strings attached. Just wish! Your wish might come true! And give if you can. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday a special one. :)
Plus, bonus for me - it's my birthday a week before Christmas, so consider this my birthday wishlist, too... ^_^
1. Paid LJ time. I want more icons... and a shiny layout. :)
2. Fic! Among my various current addictions - Iron Man (Tony/Pepper, Tony/Rhodey, Tony/Pepper/Rhodey... and you know what I REALLY want? Tony Stark/Jack Harkness. Just sayin'. If any man could seduce Tony, then it would be Captain Jack...), The Dark Knight (Gordon/Batman), Fakenews fandom (Jon/Stephen, Anderson/Keith, Pundit Round Table in general, and really any combination of the above. Also, know what would make an awesomely cool fic? Tony Stark being interviewed by... any of them, really. But Tony on The Colbert Report would be pretty fucking hilarious.)
3. Fanart - same fandoms as above...
4. A manip or wallpaper (or shiny header to go with paid LJ time so I can make a layout with it? ^_^) of the Pundit Round Table (like, a picture of the four of them sitting at a table in a restaurant *grin*). Or, you know, a link to one if such a thing already exists? I'm having trouble finding non-icon graphics in this fandom...
5. Actually, a layout in general would be cool - even if no one buys me paid LJ time, I'm prob going to go ahead and get some, so.. I'll need a layout. :) The abovementioned PRT one, or something generally representing the four of them, would be cool, or else Iron Man, TDK (again, Batman/Gordon), or Supernatural...
6. Arrested Development season 2 and/or 3.
7. Iron Man TPBs... I own Extremis, but that's it. Wouldn't mind a copy of Execute Program, which I've read but don't own. And the Civil War: Iron Man, which I've yet to read. Actually, would like a copy of Civil War itself, while we're at it.. haven't read it yet, and would like to. And any others that are good - I'm still trying to weed through 40+ years and find out what's worth reading (I find the older ones kinda painful, both art style and writing...).
8. One of these. Shipping to Canada from that site is pretty high, though. Throwing it out there anyway, because how AWESOME is that??
9. Jon Stewart's America (The book), because I've yet to read it and would like to...
10. Any sort of nifty Iron Man crap. I have an action figure, the international poster, and the abovementioned Extremis TPB, andhave already put my request for this in with a certain someone who knows who she is (*grin*) (never mind, she's already got me something else, heh. So if anyone else is willing... those of you in Vancouver, you can buy him at Golden Age Collectibles downtown), but other than that... keychains, bobbleheads, the Mighty Muggs Iron Man doll (how cool is that?), whatever you can find...
Aand that's it. :) My email address is in my userinfo if you want to send me anything and need my real address.
Oh, and a completely separate and random request.. does anyone have a copy of/a link to the episode of The Colbert Report with Keith Olbermann as a guest? Can't find it anywhere... it aired March 14th, 2006 if that helps.
