It's Friday, my Yuletide fic is done, I got an unexpected call from [info]yaoqing this morning, and I've got a little more than a week and a half left of work. It seems like the perfect time for a bit of linkspam! Heh.

First up, here's an Italian pop song from the early 70s with English-sounding gibberish for lyrics. (Much like Danny Kaye. Or the Sweedish Chef. Or both.) Thanks [info]liberlucendus, for sharing!

Some videos behind the cut for space. )


And finally, more evidence that Kate Beaton is brilliant.

I've been thinking about what to talk about since I haven't posted here in a long time, but honestly, there hasn't been much going on. I've been working a lot but not enough. I'm trying to motivate myself to look for another job, but I just feel so trapped. No one is hiring and most of the places around here are letting people off right and left. I don't want to get a job then be let go a few months in. I'm not really trained to do anything except bridal and nothing that I can do will pay enough. Money sucks.

Angela's coming to town this weekend. She'll be done with her first semester on Wednesday morning and get here on Thursday. We're going to go out on Monday to take pictures since she's going to try to do some shows I told her we'd take some headshots. And I haven't done any photography at all since I got here. I have only taken about 5 pictures and they were all of my apartment. I feel like I don't really have much to take pictures of since everything here is covered in snow and it gets so dark so early, it's hard to motivate myself to get out. Plus my camera needs film and it's just an expense I can't really have right now.

I've been watching SVU marathons every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and I'm pretty sure I'm getting close to seeing every single episode.

Yesterday was my dad's 60th birthday.

I've been going through a lot of old videos. They were pretty much all from KCS and Descants. It was weird to go back through those and remember them. I was originally looking for a song that Angela could sing for church on Christmas but I didn't find many that would work well as a solo anyway. But I did find some pretty amusing things. There was a video from a KCS sleepover at my house from my Senior year. There was Cranium and Twister. Then there was video in the morning. It was pretty funny.

I went to Duluth to see Greg's senior recitle. He did a very good job and I'm happy that he's finally finished with college. They're going to be moving to the Twin Cities this spring (he's going to be in an opera this semester before he graduates.) It'll be nice to have some friends in the area.


I guess that's about it for now. Allan's gotta go out of town this weekend so I'll be hanging out with Angela on Sunday and Monday. We've gotten about 6 inches of snow so far. And over the past week we haven't had a high over 11 degrees. Fun fun.

"Gender will be a mandatory field at account creation. ... LiveJournal is removing the Unspecified option for the gender field."

Polite feedback (as it is to people who aren't the people who are actually making these decisions) can be left here.

Too tired and needing to go to bed in order to get to work tomorrow to provide editorial comment. Not that it needs much for the choir to which I'm preaching. But, as they say: signal boost.

1. It's the weekend! Yay!

2. Season Five of Lost. It is here. In my hands. It is shiny.

3. [info]notfromnimh and I are rewatching Porco Rosso, which is very cute.

(Less of a squee - ants are coming out of my laptop's keyboard. I... don't know what to make of this.)

4. I finished Ethan Frome which, though depressing, was quite well-written.

5. I got some good solid groundwork done on my Yuletide fic this morning.

So... all good things. Woo.

And a little meme from [info]tomboy_typist.

Reply to this post if you're interested, and I will pick five of your icons.
Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!


These are the five she picked:



Aforementioned icon squee. )

Time to watch "You're Welcome, America." The perfect satirical palate cleanser after "Terror in Mumbai." Thanks, Will Ferrell.


Not that I have homework I need to finish in the next 45 minutes or anything...
