My residents continue to arouse my ire. The patronizing one who "reminded" me of our appointment not 24 hours after our agreement-- well, not 24 hours after that, she wants to change it. Um. No. And that's exactly what I told her. I'm sorry, my life does not revolve around your scheduling mishaps. If you want a later time, take it. Not earlier. You were already signed up for the earliest available slot. No.

In other news, I missed the Kerry speech. I'm not worried-- I'm sure footage will abound in the morning. I needed some mental r&r with old friends, and after eight hours of manual labor, that's exactly what I got, dessert included.

In other news, it's un_popular's birthday. Happy birthday, Glexi.

The moon is void-of-course from this morning 'til about 11:30pm. Oh, this is gonna be a *fun* day.

8:00-1:30 Checkouts & Filing
1:30-4:30 Bookstore
4:30-8:00 Checkouts

I am so exhausted right now. I haven't been sleeping well.

Also, my computer is wonky again. I had to try to start it up four times before it actually worked. It kept either getting stuck on ScanDisk or at the stage right before all of my desktop icons popped up. Help?

I have actual things to say, actual posts to make, but all I can think is that I want coffee, and soon.

And, on Farscape.

I'm trying, guys. This is not gonna be an insta-fandom for me like it was when I found Firefly. I like the show, and I have full plans to keep watching it, but the passionate love has not yet set in. Heather assures me that this is because the ANGST! has not yet set in. I've seen through the one where John & Aeryn first kiss, but she keeps telling me that the second season is great, the second season is wonderful... I shall persevere.

I have issues with aliens- I've never found them interesting at all. And puppets of the non-Angel variety. I hate Rigel and want him to die a slow, painful puppety death. What really draws me into a show is the created family dynamic, and it's just not there yet, though Heather says it will be.

I keep watching because Aeryn's cool. For any given fandom I consider myself a part of, there must be a hot kickass female. I'm shallow like that. But yes, Aeryn and the promised angsty romance to come. I want an Aeryn icon, but I don't want to look in the comms because of spoiler issues, so I'll just make my own from one of the eps that I've seen.

Also, I really want this to be subtle like a Joss Whedon show. *whines* Is there going to be at least some kind of slashy subtext on this show, though? I need subtext, or my fannish brain just goes into lah-di-dah mode. I need subtexty UST, dammit! And it better not be D'Argo/Chrichton. Ew.

Yes, of course you can switch your time. Please do not walk into my apartment to do so. The sign up sheet is on my door, and there is no need for me to have to run to the living room in my bathrobe because my residents don't understand the concept of knock on my door until I answer. If I don't answer, use the notepad to write a note and go away. I understand that in deaf culture, you just walk right in. However, I am not deaf, and I have a sign clearly posted on my door that says to knock. I would lock the door, but the core change messed things up so that Julieanne's key doesn't work. It should be fixed soon.

I will be spending the majority of my evening with chocolate and photoshop. If Mike comes up, well, fine. But honestly, I'm in such a craptacularly bad mood that maybe I should just stay away from people today. I'm tired and cranky and sick of obnoxious residents and obnoxious Ravens camp that means I can't walk outside my own apartment. The whole world can officially bite me right the hell now.


ETA: Heather: Target run tomorrow? Mike's not coming up, so we can start our Farscape-athon at 12, after I finish check outs. I need something shiny to distract me. I will pay in cheeseburgers.

And CedarLight Grove people:: I'm coming this weekend! Sunday morning, with the lovely sunflwgal! That should lighten my mood.
