daemonlunaMy first thought upon finding out that lj was down: Damn, I can't even post to lj to complain about it!
But that's okay. We ordered take-out Chinese food, watched a couple eps of the Pretender (my girl's latest TV addiction), and I watched a couple eps of Romeo's Blue Skies. Even with the annoyingly perky end credits with the bouncing ferret, the ginormous amounts of pre-slash and the whole sold into slavery thing caught![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
troutkitty's attention. *g*
(looks at TV) Huh. Isaac from Sports Night is a judge on Century City.
We've also finally got back to watching our Buffy season five DVDs, which should makejestyna happy, since it means that she can borrow them when we're done. However, we're about two eps away from "The Body." Eep. Season five was the last season that I can unreservedly say I liked through and through. Season six dragged hugely in the middle but rallied for the finale, and season seven was large amounts of mediocrity and truck-sized plot holes with a handful of good individual scenes and the odd ep that was worth it.
Spent yesterday at SAIT for aforementioned continuing ed course. I now have a basic understanding of how an oil well is drilled. However, sitting through four hours of lecture on straight factual information, followed by an hour and a half of the actual wellsite tour (which really was more about the processing, and ooh look, lots of pipes and tanks) was perhaps not the most effective way to convey the information.
Yesterday was pretty much a washout anyhow, insofar that I spent the last half of the afternoon and all evening with a swallowed-hot-acid-type painful stomach ache (I suspect, due in part to the greasy cafeteria food and after half an hour in line, having about ten minutes to gulp down lunch), remedied mostly by sleeping for twelve hours straight. This morning, I'm ravenous.
Plans today: Write remaining two book reviews, laundry and general house-cleaning, get groceries and kitty litter, meet librarian-Heather (as opposed to IFWA-Heather) for coffee at two. (At the Planet! Y'know what this means? Chesnut cream coffee beans for meeee! Hopefully.)
Now, I must find food.
