I kind of have a hate-hate relationship with tumblr going. It lures me in with pretty things and then whaps me over the head with the stupid/scary/wrong. Tumblr is basically an anglerfish.

Every time I have a SOMEONE IS WRONG ON THE INTERNET moment, I'm tempted to get one so I can troll troll troll. (And reblog a lot of Sherlock gifs.) I could become the most hated person on tumblr! But then that'd be defeating the point. Like I've said before, I believe tumblr is a MMORPG where the objective is to acquire and manage friends. There's also a secondary objective involving otters.

Am conflicted. On the one hand, there's bad logic going down and clearly I must be the one to stop it! (Obviously. Or not.) On the other, most days I can't be assed to do meta (fandom-related or non-fandom-related) anymore. Too draining.

Current Mood: lazy

I really know nothing about Mass Effect or Mass Effect 3, but I was interested in this BBC article about the ending.

( Spoilery comments? And then I ramble into DW. )

I seem to ask this every year, but does anyone have any creepy stories? 'Tis the season to sit around telling ghost stories! :)

Reminder: Go forth and commit D/R comment fic! ~~WRITE ME FLUFF, DAMMIT.~~

( D/R picture of cute as incentive. )

Also, I keep finding reasons not to buy an eReader. $130 min. is a chunk just so I can read fic. (If I could check out library books on it, it'd be a different story.) Plus I keep thinking that in a couple of years the technology is going to get way better.

For the most part I like living in a city. I'm an urban dweller and too much open space is creepy, man. But then there are days I'm checking traffic for the commute home and see this:

Issue Sigalert: Couch on fire in the middle lane.

*facepalm*

I just...I don't even know.

I watched the first 5 episodes of Dollhouse yesterday. I like it. :D (Still no burning desire to catch up on other shows though. Maybe if they were on Netflix instant viewing, since it appeals to my inner slug.)

Still reading a lot, which has resulted in the occasional facepalm moments of inner narration of my own life. "She poured the water into the kettle, thinking what a good job she'd done in washing the car..."

And speaking (sort of) about tea, I've finally found "My Tea." (As in "My Goldfish" or "My Doctor.") Rooibos! I'll admit I originally picked it up in a moment of dorktitude at wondering what the "bush tea" from No 1 Ladies Detective Agency was all about. (The books go on and on - the author probably has stock in a company.) It has a sort of strange earthy smell and is ever so slightly sweet. I've never been a huge tea drinker since while I've liked tea, I've never loved it. But this stuff I could drink all the time. It's kind of comforting.

Driving was wretched this morning. I could go into detail, but summed up it's basically "BLAH BLAH FISHCAKES."
This shot of Disneyland is gorgeous. I just made it my computer's background. :D (Yes, that's actual snow above Los Angeles.)
I'm zero-ing in on a laptop. A Sony VAIO. The drawbacks seem to be that the battery life isn't so wonderful, and it's only a 1366x768 resolution. I think I could live with both. On the battery thing, are there external batteries I could buy to plug my laptop into if I wanted? It's not something I need immediately, but it'd be nice if I was planning a long trip. (I'm fairly clueless when it comes to laptop-related things.)
HA! Just ordered the laptop! No going back now!
We have so much cakes, cookies and candy in our office now - all as gifts. *is really wishing for a fruit basket* :D

( A bit of health babble. )

( Thanksgiving prep. )

( Doctor Who babble (general impression spoilers for WoM and the clip of the Christmas special. )

I can't believe it's only two weeks to Thanksgiving! (And one week to my birthday, but that seems less eventful.) It looks like I've managed to get out of going to Random Distant Relative's place this year, and get to do my own thing! I'm possibly more happy about this than I should be. I'll do a small turkey (and live off it for the next year), and make a pumpkin pie. So now I just have to decide what sides to do. Stuffing, obviously. But what to do for vegetables...? (Can't stand green bean casserole, and I don't like that marshmallow yam stuff.)
Can I justify making an apple pie this weekend if the following week I'm going to make another pie? I think I can live with myself.
Speaking of apple pie, I know that sometimes people mix apples to make pie. (One kind for flavor and one for texture.) Anyone have any good apple combos to recommend?
I've been watching a lot of my DVDs while on the treadmill. Last night I pulled out the Lord of the Rings DVDs and started on that. I haven't watched those in a while, so it'll be fun to watch all that again. LotR question: I know this all was inspired by the author's experiences in WWI. Are the different groups (elves, humans, hobbits, wizards, etc.) supposed to represent specific groups of people or nationalities? Or isn't it that literal?

It's really hard to work when a celeb gets engaged. Because I want to sit there and read things like ONTD and other places. The funniest bit has been the posts where people are convinced - convinced - that this SPN person is actually gay (or at least bi) and that him getting engaged to a woman (of all things) is a PR cover. Defend-it-argumentatively-in-comments convinced.

See, I think this is where a lot of my problem comes in with RPF. Sure there are some people who handle it just fine, but there are others where there is no line between fiction and reality. It's all reality for them.

And on that same note, David Tennant will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever date you. Ever. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever. Not even if you meet him at a book signing. Or a con. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever. Seriously. I am not kidding. So no falling off the deep end if he gets engaged to GM, m'kay?

Anyhoo, I just got my apple slicer in the mail today! PIE! It looks like it'll be cooler this weekend, so a good time for baking. I'm thinking a dutch apple pie. And then take it in to work: "BEHOLD. PIE."

I know I asked this last year, but I'm in the mood again. Anyone have any ghost stories to share?
