Life's a Party

Dude. When I opened up LJ it asked me if I wanted to restore from saved draft. This was the saved draft: ( Read more... )

I am laughing so hard at myself right now.



Vividcon was awesome. I'd say I'm going to post a full con report, but I think we all know by now how terrible I am at finishing things.

There was lots of crying. For various reasons. Namely, Sandy, Sandy, that fucking dog vid, Sandy, the UP vid, Sandy.

I discovered kuwdora has been living in my city THIS WHOLE TIME and I had NO IDEA.

Saw that X-Men movie. Read all the Alex/Armando fic I could find. Am annoyed that I did not find more. Back to reading Sherlock fic.

Speaking of, met lots of shiny Sherlock fen. Even found a beta. Still in need of a britpicker, tho.



My laptop did the bluescreen of death today. Apparently I no longer have permission to run explorer.exe (also known as, you know, the interface). I can still turn it on, but only in safe mode. I have no idea to work the command line, but I know ctrl+alt+Del, so I can open programs via the task manager, but I can't access the internet. Luckily I can also transfer files to a flash drive via the task manager, and I have a backup computer. Actually my backup computer is nicer than my laptop. But it's a desktop, so I can't use it to read fic in bed, hence I practically never turn it on.

Anyway, my laptop is still under warranty, so it's all good.



Note, this backup desktop is the 3 year old Mac my parents gave me when they upgraded to a newer model, not to be confused with my 8 year old Dell with the defunct sound card and monitor that only displays the color orange. I'll be vidding on it (the Mac) as soon as I can make it run Windows (because I'm not restarting my four nearly finished vid projects from scratch in FCP if I can help it).

So it turns out even if I did get off the wait list, I can't make it. It turns there's a conflict with the summer course I'm taking. VVC falls right smack in the middle of finals week.

::WOE::

However I do still intend to submit at least one, hopefully more than one new vid, and one of my older vids will be popping up in one of the themed vid shows.

I'll miss you guys!

I got my cornrows yesterday. They cost $50. I woke up three minutes before my appointment at noon, but called the place and managed to reschedule to 3:00. My cornrows are awesome! I look very, very nonwhite right now. And kind of remind myself of Ludacris when I look in the mirror. Except, you know, cuter and more female.

Room is mostly cleaned. Horded dishes have been taken to the kitchen and washed. Someone else can put them away.

Finished packing last night. Stuffed everything I could think of on flash drive this morning. Printed out song lyrics for karaoke night. Printed fic notes for the two stories I'm working on during my vacation. Printed flight and hotel info. Put eveyone's numbers into my cell phone.

Oooooh, what else?

I think I'm good to go. EeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

vividcon! vividcon!

My plane should arrive at 8:20, so I'll probably be arriving at the hotel around 9:00. See y'all there! Or here on lj, if you're not coming.
