Obey Zolac!

I have a tradition. Every Valentine's Day I start my morning with the same song. Because, you know, there's something to be said for romance, maybe... but sometimes Option B is just a hell of a lot more fun. SING ALONG, BOYS AND GIRLS~!

In other news, some anonymous person sent me a very lovely LJ gift. Thank you, mystery Valentine! That was an incredibly sweet thing for you to do and say! I hope you have a very nice Valentine's Day. <3 ...I have my supiscions about your identity, but then again I've already guessed wrong once, fffff.

Those of you who know me well know that Valentine's Day has always been about friendship to me. This may have something to do with the fact that I have never in my life been in a relationship during Valentine's Day, which may have something to do with the fact that I can't seem to maintain interest in a relationship for more than a few weeks or months at a time, BUT I DIGRESS. So... Happy Valentine's Day to you, my friends. Some of you I know very well, some of you I'm looking forward to getting to know better. Maybe I met you in Hawaii, or at college, or through another friend; maybe our friendship started online before we met face to face. Maybe we haven't met at all; maybe we never will. Maybe we rp'd together; maybe we found each other in some community and started talking to each other in a fit of fannish glee. Maybe you like my writing, or I like yours; maybe I beta'd your story, or you beta'd mine. If you're reading this right now and we've traded even two LJ comments between us, then you've contributed to the sum total of smiles in my life, and for that, today and every day, I appreciate you. Have a lovely day, darlings~. <3

Whoo, so I really don't have time for this. I haven't even had time to look at my rp. I'm such a bad mod. ...But I feel a life update is necessary at this juncture.

Dar's dad was here twelve days, he left on Monday. He and Dar and I drove down to California last week and spent a couple of nights in a cabin on the edge of Redwood National and State Parks. We discovered that Grant's Pass is the most ridiculous town in existence. We counted six... SIX... Dutch Bros, and the hardware store has hammajang pillars and sells Lady Anti-Monkey Butt powder. We saw many wildlifes including elk, sea lions, seals, and giant trees, and stayed up late reading ghost stories. In the town of Orick Dar and I ventured into the epitome of all biker bars to try some elk chili. We ended up attempting to win free drinks for life by drinking a pint of Stella faster than the barkeep, and joined hundreds of others in loserdom (as evidenced by the two $1 bills stapled to his ceiling, signed by us, stating I AM A LOSER). This guy doesn't even have to swallow. He just stares at you until you're halfway down your own glass, and then he opens his mouth and the beer disappears down his throat. ...I totally out-manned Dar, both in beer-drinking and chili-eating. Ha.

The chili was delicious, btw.

As of Monday, I am hired again. Epiq, again, this time data entry, swing shift (3:30p-11:30p). I wasted no time at all in finding my fellow geeks. Geoff is into Doctor Who, the IT Crowd, Cowboy Bebop, and Fullmetal Alchemist, and I carpool with him (which is good, because at those times it would take me an hour and a half to go by bus, instead of, like, ten minutes by car). Logan is also into Doctor Who, Red vs Blue, The Mighty Boosh, and Batman (including The Animated Series and Batman Beyond), and we spend breaks and lunch geeking out at each other.

Today I went downtown and got my data back, FINALLY. He retrieved the data, but for some reason whatever it is that organizes the data and labels it was irreparably damaged, so I've got a pile of anonymous .jpg's, .avi's, .doc's, .mp3's, etc. He's given it to me on a loaner drive, and he's letting me take a good look at it before we decide how much I should pay him. It won't be any more than $150 though.

I managed to get my shift changed on Friday, so James and I are going to the Ok Go concert. HELLS TO THE MOTHERFUCKING YEAH. Finally. I've been dying to see this band live. T_T

And, finally, I made a last minute decision to go to Seattle for the Northwest Folklife Festival this weekend, and I'm dragging Will and Richard along with me. We're still working out the details... like, where we're going to sleep. -_-;; I think I have it taken care of, though... I'm like 90% sure we can crash at Isaac and Eli's place. I'm just waiting for Eli to check with his brother and call me back. ...One way or the other, though, it will be an awesome weekend. I expect to come back having worn my feet entirely off dancing. :DD

Fffff 45 minutes before I have to leave for work. I'd better grab some lunch. Stay awesome, LJ.

Ooh ooh ooh!

So, I was looking around on the Bridgeport website, and woe, Watchmen is no longer playing in IMAX there, I've missed my chance to see it in Epic Gigantosize. ;_;

But! I discovered that they're showing "Death Note: L, Change the WorLd" on April 29, subtitled omg. I'M TOTALLY GOING. ...Who thinks I should go in cosplay? XDDD;;

And then I noticed this: "earth", the first in a new series of Disneynature films, together with BBC, Greenlight Media, and Discovery Channel, is coming out on April 22, Earth Day. It's narrated by DARTH VADER James Earl Jones and directed by the same guys who brought us "planet earth". In fact, judging by the trailer... here, has a trailer... they may be using the same footage. ...Honestly, though. Bits of "planet earth" on the big screen? DO WANT.

...Ok Go concert today~! :DDDDDD

P.S. Ahahahaha my icon fits because it contains, uh, nature, and also a genius with bare feet~! ^_^

P.P.S. ...I just figured out why the muscles in my tailbone region have been in so much freaking pain for the past few days. It was that frog stretch I did at the tournament. FOR FUTURE REFERENCE- do not do ballet stretches when you haven't done ballet in like ten months, unless you want to hurt, A LOT. DX
