I thought it might be unfair to have to choose between the fandoms involved, so I went with a neutral and always enjoyable nerd!Vince ^_^

Okay, I'll have more to say later (quite a bit more actually), but I had to say this now. Yesterday was quite possibly one of the best days of my life -

* I got John Barrowman's autograph (he's so pretty!)
* I got Gareth David-Lloyd's autograph (also so pretty!)
* I went to the Doctor Who and Torchwood panels which were two of the funniest hours of my life. I think Steven Moffat is now one of my newest favorite people (as a person. I already loved him as a writer) <3
* I got Matt Keeslar's autograph (aka 'Sexy Boss Man' aka The Middleman)
* I got to go to the red carpet premiere of Stargate: Continuum on the USS Midway for free. The actors were there, we got free food, we were on an aircraft carrier, and I still can't believe it. There will definitely be pictures when I get back home. I just wish I had been able to stay for the after party, but I couldn't because...
* After the Stargate thing, we went straight to the premiere of The X-Files: I Want to Believe <3 <3


So between Canada, Comic-Con, and just traveling, I haven't slept more than 2 or 3 hours a night for about 4 nights. My eyes are red and there are prominent bags under my eyes atm o_0

Got back from Canada today. Leaving for San Diego tomorrow morning. See y'all on Monday!

ETA:

* The Middleman is fast becoming one of my favorite TV shows. I think I need a Middleman shirt (and an icon). Has anybody else seen themiddleblog? It's great, but beware of possible spoilers for upcoming episodes. Also, they're going to be at Comic-Con!! I don't know how I'll have time for everything, but I'll work something out.

* My friend is getting us tickets to the midnight showing of The X-Files today!! Just 10 more days.

* We're having a BBQ at work today. Not sure why. I think it's for all the July birthdays. But whatever. FOOD!

* And finally,

I'm leaving for Seattle tomorrow, and then driving to Canada. I'll be back on the 22nd only to fly out on the 23rd for San Diego and Comic-Con. I might be able to visit LJ, but who knows. Don't have too much fun without me now ^_^

Too bad I'll be missing the season premiere of Psych :(

My last couple of posts were rather emo. And I don't like being emo. Even if it is justified :P

So, I think it's time for another LIST O'HAPPINESS!



1. My hair is red again ^_^

2. I only have two days of work and then I'm off to Canada for a week.

3. The day after I get back from Canada, I'm going to San Diego for Comic-Con!

4. The new X-Files movie is coming out during Comic-Con <3

5. I've been saving my two newest Torchwood books so I could read them on the plane.

6. I am absolutely smitten/obsessed/whatever with Between the Black and White. It's Death Note fanfiction that's just brilliant. I mean, I can't remember the last time I read something that felt so much like it could have actually happened in canon (if things had gone a little differently). Unfortunately it's also a WIP. I normally don't read those because I'm very impatient. In fact, I'm not sure why I started, but I'm really glad I did.

7. I found out today that on Tuesday, we're having a BBQ lunch at work. Which means fun, food, and less time actually doing work. I'm down with that ;)

I think there was more, but I'm getting tired. I should go to sleep but I need to start packing. Blegh.

PS ( Does anybody have )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

I promise I won't tell anyone how old you are ^_^


My brother and I are going home tomorrow after work. Saturday we're spending the day in Japantown and then we're going to see Journey to the Center of the Earth because my mom likes Brendan Fraser. Hopefully this weekend I'll also be able to redye my hair.

-------

( Family drama. )

I promise, it won't always be about Death Note ^_^

But I did just finish reading Death Note Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases. ( Some thoughts.. )

To save you from being spammed again with DN, I might as well post my 3rd L picspam now (which I just realized will have to be in two parts).

Not dial-up friendly. In case that matters to anyone ^_^



( More under here. )

B&W pictures in the next post.

*sweats*

Ugh. I can't wait until this heat wave (hopefully) breaks on Friday.

Anyhoo... My friend just asked me to be her Maid of Honor! Between graduating from college, getting a (temp) job, and this - what the hell? You'd almost think I was becoming an adult o_0

Not if I can help it!



But seriously, other than being the flower girl at my dad's wedding (to my step-mother), this will be the first wedding I've been involved with. Well, I was a witness at my other friend's wedding, but still. Nothing like being a maid of honor. Does this mean I get to plan a bachelorette party?

*plots*

So, I'm currently reading Death Note Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases. Good book so far. I'm loving L more and more. But I can't help but giggle like a 12 year-old when he says things like:

"Once something has entered your mouth, it should never be spit out like that. And those terrible moans do nothing for your image, either."

And

"Don't worry. I'm a top."
"A top?"
"An aggressive top... I have never once been submissive. One of the few things I can boast about. I have never even been submissive to a traffic signal."

<3 L <3 L <3


One good thing about having a father who goes from hobby to hobby is that I get to do a lot of things I normally wouldn't be able to do. On Sunday, we went to the shooting range. I have never fired an actual gun before. It was... different. Nobody got hurt, thank God ;) But it felt so surreal. There's a lot of power in that little thing.

Also, one of the shells bounced off my face :D

( My best target )

Can I not be here right now? In Daly City, it's a lovely 63°F. Even in Santa Cruz it's only 75°F. In freakin' San Jose where I'm working/living atm, it's 96°F. And it's only supposed to get hotter :(

Also, my back hurts from sitting all day in front of a computer.

So now that I know I can get my camera pictures onto my sister's computer (and while I'm waiting for Doctor Who), is there anything anybody would like to see? I feel like taking some pictures. I can go outside or take pictures of stuff in the house. Hell, I might just post some things anyway. But for now, I'll do that purse meme that was going around.

( Purse meme )

I'm so antisocial :P

I just don't understand what's so great about going over to the neighbor's house for the 4th of July. Or, more accurately, I don't see why anyone would be upset if I didn't want to go. I wouldn't have fun over there. I don't want to swim. I don't want to make small talk. I just want to chill out and do nothing for a while. You learn to appreciate doing nothing a lot more when you work all week ;)

Anyhoo, I'm not going over there. At least not until dinner is ready. Earlier today I bought some clothes at Target and got a new memory card for my camera so I'll have room when I go to Canada/Comic-Con/Scotland. Tomorrow I'm getting my hair cut (finally!). But as for now, I just finished It's a Boy Girl Thing, I'm watching The Middleman, and after that I'm going to watch Hard and probably Wristcutters: A Love Story.

And that's how I celebrate Independence Day.
*nods*

I wouldn't mind being at work for so long if I felt I was actually doing something. I did last week when I was in Clinical, but since my boss in on vacation this week, I'm with QA. Right now I'm going over every SOP they have and marking any kind of record or documentation that should come from each SOP. Later, I'm actually going to have to find those docs, but in the mean time, I'm just trying to figure out what they should have. After a while, it gets kind of hard to concentrate. I have to fight to keep my eyes from glazing over.

I just have to keep reminding myself that I'm getting paid for this, I get tomorrow off, and new Doctor Who this weekend. I have to break it down and reward myself - this long until lunch; this long until we leave; when I get home I can do this; etc. I'm not accustomed to the working world, but I'll get there. At least it feels a little easier getting up in the morning. Well, not the getting up (that's never easy) but the staying up/being up.

The people here are really nice and fun though. The boss (President and COO of Gynesonics) just said "Oh, fucksticks!" ^_^

ETA: The day just got a little better. We got a new shipment of cookies and chips (free snacks here will probably be the death of me).

Also, this picture makes me happy (and just a fair warning, I'll probably have another L picspam - there are just so many scans! and it's my most current obsession...):



RING POP!

I found these at Walgreens and decided to take a chance. This stuff is like crack. I couldn't get enough. And the box opens like a little lunch box. I took all the candy out of the bag, dumped it into the box, and just ate them all ^_^

I think I'm going to buy a couple to take with me to San Diego (hoping it doesn't melt) so that I can eat them with my friend while watching the X-Files movie premiere.


picture taken from here

You can buy them from here, through Amazon it looks like.

Next chance I get, I'm going on a candy hunt in Japantown.

Apparently there's also Vanilla and Chocolate Raspberry flavors.

I have to get up in a few hours to go to work. But I just couldn't wait. I had to watch L: Change the WorLd tonight. And now I'm crying again.




( More magazine scans of 'L' )

Rest In Peace Don S. Davis



I was just reading an interview with him in the latest Stargate magazine last night.

Some celebrities' deaths leave me sad or feeling like it's impossible - They can't really be dead. But this is the first time since Mister Rogers that I'm crying. And I'm at work right now.

He was so young, too :(

I'm going to be good. I've been reading spoilers for Doctor Who pretty much all this series, but I'm not going to read or look at anything about the finale this week. It's hard though. However a few things are making it a little less so. In other words, a List 'o Happiness.

1. Screencaps from TW (series 2) deleted scenes - IANTO!! He can kick ass, he knows everything, but of all the reasons to love him, first and foremost - he's a dork <3

I don't know if that scene exists online yet because I'm at work and I can't download anything or watch YouTube. Well, there's apparently a crappy phone-recorded version at least on YouTube. I think I'll just wait for an AVI or something.

2. David Duchovny has a blog about the upcoming X-Files movie - The Duchovny Files

3. L: Change the WorLd now has English subtitles! And I get to finally watch it when I get off of work today!! (PS I'm going to posting another mini picspam of L in the near future.)

4. When I go to Canada in like 2 weeks, I might be able to visit Simon Fraser University. Why would that be awesome, you ask? Because this = this. It's not the SGC, but I've always wanted to visit Tollana ;D

There are many other locations they filmed at, but this one also has the Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology.

It's also where this scene happened <3

(And where Jack and Daniel got married - though technically that was on a set.)

5. No work on Friday because it's the 4th of July.

6. Oh, and I have Japanese candy. This is always a good thing. *nods*

But each time I hear/read something else about Stargate: Continuum, I get more and more excited. Next month!!

I got the new Stargate magazine mostly for the 'Continuum' poster in the middle, but there were a few things in there that made me happy. ( Spoilers )

PS WALL·E = <3

PPS Why aren't there English subtitles for L: Change the WorLd yet :( There are :)

PPPS Yep, Jack/Daniel is still my OTP of OTPs. You have no idea how happy something like this and this makes me XD

Is it next week yet?!

( PS )
