Like Shooting Stars

FINALLY got the birthday package (TODAY...at 2:30. Ridiculous!), aaaand guess what was in it?!


*drumroll please*


A brand shiny new external hard drive!!! XD XD XD A nice, 1.5 TB hard drive!


I feel so loved right now.


First order of business (what's happening right now) is transferring the iTunes folder from the 100 GB external hard drive to the new one. Then will be all the lovely resources for vidding (because I never deleted any of the stuff I got for the Shanks vid, hoping this is what they were getting me for my b-day).

THIS is why the man is one of the best and why he is the Captain of the Vancouver Canucks:




That is all.

I have the bestest friends around (in this case, over on the Twitterwebz!)...LOOK what I got in the mail yesterday:



That's right, dear flist. My great Twitter friends got me THE FARSCAPE COMPLETE BOXSET!!!


Again, bestest friends EVAR!


~Pip

Just wanted to wish my all time favorite person in the world a lovely HAPPY BIRTHDAY...


XD XD XD



Like a fine wine (or in my preference, a good bottle of whiskey), Shanks just keeps getting better and better with age!

(Got the prettehful pic from HERE)

It seeming to be Shanks!Decemeber and all (there's a LOT of things he's starred in that are showing this month, plus his birthday is the 15th of course), I decided (and hope to be right) to check the USA schedule for this month to see if, JUST MAYBE, at least one of his Burn Notice eps would be shown...lo and behold, what did I find?


BURN NOTICE MARATHON DECEMEBER 31st!!

Truth and Reconciliation at 12 PM, Sins of Omission at 1 PM, and Lesser Evil at 2 PM (all EST)!


Huzzah! I feel so fulfilled knowing I was right...I could practically feel it! XD


So, make a stickie to remind yourself (YES, that means YOU taraleesg1 ) these will be on! ;)


Oh, also, Unending, Ark of Truth, and Continuum are on SyFail this monday, starting at 8 AM (again, EST).

Yeah, I won't be getting much time of that in the coming weeks...let's see here:


- I have 21 Holiday Cards I am hand making and sending out to people. I will be cutting down on some of the work by making copies of some of the pieces. There is NO WAY I can hand draw this stuff 21 different times. It's just easier to pay the money (since my printer is out of ink) to make the copies. Less stress on my sanity...since I have so many other things to rip what's left of it away.


- There's my dv_exchange assignment that needs to be finished. That, to my complete surprise and relief, is coming together with very little hassle. There have been a few problems, but nothing that couldn't be solved with a little quick thinking. My GOAL is to maybe, hopefully, perhaps have it finished before I go home next Thursday.


- When I DO go home, I'll have to help take care of Madre. She is going in for surgery Wednesday morning for a hysterectomy (this is that personal issue I mentioned a while back that I never actually elaborated on). This means *I* will be the main house-keeper-upper while I'm home for X-mika. Add on top of that the fact that I'll also be WORKING over X-mika break. I can't just go three weeks at home without working. I NEED the dineros. Oh, and as a side note, SyFail in all it's EPICLY FANTASTIC TIMING is showing MERIDIAN on Wednesday. Way to make sure I'm a worried mess that day!


- Finals are next week. The fact that I feel I'll do the best on my math exam frightens me a bit. I am so completely unprepared for the other two, though I'm hoping to rectify that problem this weekend with mucho studying (much like I did last year for my physical anthro. class). On the plus side, this means I have NO CLASSES until January. HUZZAH! Of course next semester's schedule, as y'all have already seen, is gonna be crazy. It's very unlikely I'll get to do what I want for my birthday because of it, but nothing can be done about that. Three of the classes I'll be taking are required (including that French class). *shrugs* Oh well.


Alrighty, want to crack down on this assignment. I may just be able to get it finished tonight if the proper flow and drive from the brabbits comes nicely!


~Pip


Also, with Lu's amazing performance and deserved shutout tonight, using that icon to celebrate him! Because...ya know...he rocks awesomepops!

Just now have seen the two new pics coming out of 'Penance.'


*rises up off the floor* Is it December 11th yet?!?!?!



That is all.


~Pip

They did it!!!!


Canucks won 5-2!! I KNEW they could do it!!!


I'm so happy right now!! XD XD XD


~Pip

JUST ordered my tickets for Chicago...they FINALLY got them up for sale (only took 3 damn months). taraleesg1 noticed earlier that the ChiCon page had FINALLY been updated (with info for next year's con) and that the links were leading to the right place (even if the tickets weren't on sale yet). So we had a feeling it would be happening today sometime...

...I had JUST enough time to make it to the ATM, see if I had enough in the specific account, and get back before they went on sale.


NOW I have purchases the tickets. CHICAGO CON 2010 IS OFFICIALLY ON! XD


Oh, and I love the new 'select your seat' setup they have. Was able to see what was available...and was able to get the same seats from this past year (since I didn't have the dineros at the time to reup them). Not exactly the same...we are one seat closer to the stage, so not a bad thing at all!


*dances* I'm so happy and relieved right now!!

~Pip

P.S. - OH, and we knew Michael was the first confirmed guest, but found out today that David Hewlett will also be there! ;)

So let's see...what to post about.


Had a rather boring Halloween. Got dressed up, of course, but we ended up having no where to go. Had more...well, it was more exciting the night before when David shared some beverages with us. Made watching the Canucks get their asses handed to them by the Ducks less painful to watch.


Of course watching the Canucks shut out the Avs (the top team in their conference) last night was SWEEET!


Am excited about the dv_exchange this year. Looks like it's gonna be epic!


Will be heading home for Thanksgiving in a few weeks. I'm very happy about this. Have been getting more and more homesick with each passing day. This is the first year that I haven't gone home before Thanksgiving, and I'm really noticing the difference.


Oh lovely, New Moon commercials starting on TV already. *sigh*


Nothing else, really. Trying to find something creative to work on (fic, vid...something!), but it's just not happening.
