Badabing badaboom
May. 30th, 2008 05:49 pm1. You all rule SO HARD for shipping me with Andy and Charlie/Damian. And ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
tinted_glass, of course, but that was a given. She is mine, after all. I claimed her the other day. But this meme proves that I talk about Andy and Damian way too much. And that's not gonna change. ;)
2. Proof that the Life fandom really, really needs some Charlie/Roman slash. Stat. Stat means now. I might have to make an extended version of that picspam later. Maybe tonight if I'm feeling saucy.
3. My dad bought me an air conditioner for my bed room. A whole, portable AC window unit. Now, on TV they made it look easy as pie. Pop this plastic thing into your widow sill, stick on the hose, badabing badaboom you're done. Well... The thing was seriously heavy and my parents nearly hurt themselves getting it up the stairs (I didn't even know they were bringing it up the stairs. Not sure how I could have helped though. I'm far too prone to falling on my ass for them to trust me with heavy objects). Anyway, they got it up here, then it took about 10 minutes to get it out of the box (which we had to rip apart in order to get it out), then it was in another box. *sigh* So we got it out, then my parents said that they were going to go to the dumpster since we have so many boxes in the garage, so while they did that I moved all of my books from under my window and put them somewhere else (which took me a good 40 minutes). Then my parents came back, but their car was still full, because apparently the dumpster is gone, so that was a waste of a trip for them. And when they came back they said, "So did you get it set up?" Um... no. There were lots of pieces and vague instructions, so... I didn't even attempt anything. Then my dad offered to help me, thinking it would only take a half hour tops. Well, the window adapter didn't fit my window, so we had trim it, and it was this really thick plastic. An hour and a half later, it's finally trimmed. Put it in the window and we find out that we have to trim this other piece too or else there would be a huge gap between my window and the plastic piece. So we trim the other one, and then it doesn't fit again. So we have trim some off of the other side. Still doesn't fit. Trim some more. 3 hours later it's finally kind of fitting in my window, but my stupid window keeps springing back up a little bit, so there's still a bit of a gap, but by this time we were exhausted and simply didn't care. Then we spend another hour trying to get the hose adapter to stay connected to the window adapter. The slightest movement will knock it out, by the way, but I don't even care. Anyway, then I had trouble getting the cord to reach the plug, so it's angled in this weird way because I had to fit the hose behind it without it coming out of the window and the unit, so that took awhile. Anyhow, by 10:00 I had myself my own personal air conditioner in addition to the central air. So yeah, I'm living cool. My floor is covered with little bits of plastic though. And my window is permanently slightly open, so I get to hear all the outside sounds, and my room is by the road. The cars don't bother me actually, it's the damn birds. They would not shut up this morning. AND THAT STUPID WOODPECKER KEEPS PECKING THE ALUMINUM SIDING! WHAT THE FREAKING HELL, WOODPECKER? WHY HAVE YOU NOT GIVEN UP YET? GO AWAY! ARRRRRGH IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!
4. It's ridiculously hot today, and as I was doing my walking on the track, this dude was cutting the grass, so I got that fresh cut grass smell the entire time. I went a whole 4 miles, by the way, because my dad egged me into it and I was "in the zone" as he would say. My muscles are fine, but feet are blistered like crazy, so I can barely walk on them. I think I need better socks. Anyhow, I think it's officially time to play this song:
Summertime - Kenny Chesney
Listening to Kenny Chesney anytime makes it feel like summer, really, because for some reason I always associate him with beaches and beer and sleeveless shirts, but... he's even better when it's actually summer. Oh, and hey, I might be at one of the concerts shown in that video. Or not. Probably not. But I like to think that they showed the one that I was at.
5. We have THE coolest washing machine ever. Remember back when I said that my parents had spent the whole day shopping and they bought a $5000 washer and dryer? Well, it was totally worth it. They're all fancy and digital and side-loaders and they have a clear window so you can look in and see them spinning, and I had stepped into the utility room for a minute while my clothes were washing, and all of a sudden it started vibrating really hard and I looked in the window and my clothes were spinning SO FREAKING FAST that I couldn't even see them! And I had loaded it to the very brim (and it's heavy duty, so it holds a lot of clothes). So... that was awesome. I know, I'm easily amused. And I'm deep cleaning my whites with the steam feature. Oh yes.
6. Round 2 is up fornobodysbizathon, so if you're dying to read some Office fic for a very neglected pairing, COMMENT WITH A PROMPT! I'm looking at you Michael/Ryan and Michael/Dwight shippers! And I assure you that I will most definitely attempt an Andy or Kelly/Andy prompt, because these days I seem to only be able to write fic when I'm challenged. Oh! A certain someone could even make a Target prompt for any Office character/pairing! Pam/Toby in Target, The Finer Things Club at Target (which is wrought with irony), Stanley looking bored at Target, Kevin being amused in the women's underwear department at Target... Oh, the possibilities.
7. I am getting more and more excited about the upcoming season of Psych. LASSITER/JULIET OMG!!!! CANNOT WAIT! CUTENESS GALORE FILLED WITH MUCH OBTUSENESS FROM LASSITER! SQUEEEEEEE!!!!! I really need to stop reading the spoilers. I'm probably getting excited over nothing. BUT OMG I CAN'T WAIT! Oh, subtle Lassiter/Juliet tension, how I adore thee.
8. I think I'm more excited about the DVD release of season 1 Life than I am about season 4 of The Office. COMMENTARIES WITH DAMIAN'S BEAUTIFUL BRITISH ACCENT! OH MY GOD!!!!! ME WANT NOW! Er... I mean... I look forward to hearing Damian and Sarah's insights, along with the writers (most especially Rand Ravich). ... ... ... ... BRITISH ACCENT OMG OMG OMG!!!! Yes, I know I can just watch The Forsyte Saga or The Baker or Hearts&Bones or Much Ado About Nothing to hear British Damian, but... I'M GOING TO GET TO WATCH LIFE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY HEARING BRITISH DAMIAN! OH MY GOD!!!! Can't wait. The Office special features sound good, but not as good as the season 3 DVD set. So... hmm. The eps that they did commentary for aren't getting me excited. And they put Ed on the commentary for The Deposition, and he didn't even have any lines in that ep (we saw a quick flash of the back of his head, and that was it). I am excited to see the cast read through of Did I Stutter, though. That was probably my favorite ep of season 4 (well, aside from Launch Party, but that was purely for shallow reasons). Ed should do his commentary with a British accent.
