Just a Minute... (June 2010)
Monthly dose of Just a Minute… »!
Reading… some fanfiction (nothing new there), and J.R. Ward's new book, Lover Mine. Great plot, wonderful characters, horrible butchering of the gay ones. I still keep coming back, though, so the woman is doing something right!
Listening… to Lorene Drive and Britney Spears, because I love mixing genres, as well as spamming everyone with the genius that is « Blood Brothers (if I so wasn't starry-eyed about it, I'd feel a little bad!).
Coding… Media Admin, and I. hate. Amazon's. API. It's one of the worst things in the world to get around – something I have yet to do, and if you know me, you know I don't, and won't, give up that easily – and never thought I'd think that about XML! GO DIAF, AMAZON API.
Excited… that the sister is back! She went to California (San Francisco) for three weeks to visit our older sister. She loved it in California – the pictures! – but didn't love the sister. I needed someone to fangirl The Whitest Kids U'Know and The IT Crowd with!
Making… abstract art for a project, and its not as horrible as I first thought it'd be; it's actually quite fun, and the colour options…!
Admiring… Trevor Moore. See “Watching” for further (fangirlish) details.
Watching… The Whitest Kids U'Know! OH EM GEE. I took my cable company's, Comcast, advice – surprising; they're a shitty company with even shittier advertising methods – and watched it on IFC, and have never looked back. It was created by Trevor Moore and Sam Brown, and it loosely based off of Trevor's first show. Although all five boys – Trevor, Sam, Zach, Darren and Timmy, in order of hiring – write the show, Trevor's the head writer, and I just marvel at his, and their, genius. Darren and Zach are my favourite, and Timmy makes me laugh so fucking hard; Trevor is the best at ridiculous-but-still-funny!wigs (and pants) and Sam with his ridiculously crass (but still funny) skits! While I wouldn't suggest this for the squeamish or easily-offended, it's some of the funniest shit I've seen in a while! Also, a quick shout out to Grandma's Boy, the best movie ever made. Fin~
Cooking… brownies, because it seems to be all I'm good for. I admittedly passed on a few chances to cook, but I've been wrung out with coding – AMAZON. I'M LOOKING AT YOU HERE. – that I just haven't felt up to it.
Taking a Photo of… Nay-Nay!
Nay-Nay goes through these daily rituals of randomly coming up to me, meowing and jumping up into my lap to cuddle. Most of the time she stays for twenty seconds before getting bored, but she actually let me take (really bad) photos of her, and cuddle with her, too. (My hand was trying to hold her head still long enough to get the shot. Alas, I was not successful. I have failed thee.) So, to make up for the quality, here's a photo of a yellow grasshopper (and to remind you all I'm not a horribly bad photographer):
Feeling admittedly nostalgic – I remember the sister, the friend and I would collect grass hoppers, kill them and then throw them away because they stunk. We actually made a sport of catching them. …Which is kind of not-so-nostalgic, and more morbid. I couldn't do it now, only marvel at how weirdly cute it looked.
Playing… The Spill Canvas – Our Song », which is the best damn song ever right now.

WTF, so I start this comment with WTF, you KILLED grass hoppers? CRIES. POOR HOPPERS! :'( what did they ever do to you! *cries some more* Children can cruel, though, I know for sure. Many of them still don't have empathy. The few that do at certain ages are quite special. (Empathy is taught, in my opinion, and those BORN with it are quite special, and I do think some are born with it). ANYWAY.
So J.R. Ward is butchering her gay characters? NEVER MIND THEN I DON'T WANT TO READ THESE BOOKS. Not that I actually want to though. :| (If I do, I'll just read for the gay characters; HOW ABOUT YOU JUST TYPE UP ALL THE SCENES WITH THE GAY CHARACTERS FOR ME?)
Prettyyyy pictures and your nails are as long as my mom's! :D (I would never be able to have them that long; long nails kinda scare me BUT YOURS DON'T, BTW. THEY ARE PRETTY).

Abstract art, you say? I'm intrigued! And you're going to show us when you're done, yes? :P
Mmm... brownies. I'm regretting not buying brownie mix at the grocery store yesterday... not that I could bake them anyway. XD

Oh dear, I've never been one to like bugs at all, but that grasshopper photograph looks great. I remember taking a photo of a moth but it wasn't very pleasing to the eye, and the lighting was bad (it happened to come into the house), so it turned out to be quite a horrible photo.
I remember a time when I was younger, being scared of a single worm I saw in my garden. I stood the hell away from it because it freaked me out that much.
I'm not a cat person, but Nay-Nay is really gorgeous, her eyes are beautiful! I find that cats have such lovely eyes.
Good luck with the abstract art and those lovely recreation activities! Lately I've been trying to read and play my guitar more often as well as write poems. :)
