In which A is strange, random and oh yeah BACK FROM THE VOID

[blamethewizard]

1) Computer fixed over a week ago, but still a little absent around here because...

2) I was in the hospital for a week. Infection. Other issues. Was able to read LJ and comment some but didn't get full computer access until Friday.  I remembered how utterly boring hospital stays are. Thankfully, I had recently downloaded a ton of podfic, which seriously SAVED MY SANITY. I feel like I need to write a "Thank you" letter to all those lovely podficcers and possibly buy them presents. Or something.

I also wrote Merlin/Arthur fic in a little notebook, which may or may not be typed up and posted. It's all angsty and probably addled. SPEAKING OF ADDLED...

3) I am so behind with LJ and other online stuff and I'm just beginning to get caught up. SO I ASK YOU, flist, WHAT IS THE 411? WHAT ARE THE COOL JAMS? 

Then again, it's only been a week...but it was a terribly long one over here.

4) In my addled state, I pre-ordered Merlin Season 1 on DVD from Amazon, WHICH IS COOL AND ALL, but it's not coming out until April 26th and I wasn't going to buy it until next month. I was supposed to spend my March self-allocated ~$30 "monthly extras" budget on a paid LJ account (I KNOW, I'M LAME AND BEHIND THE TIMES) but in some kind of excited haze I forgot. It's probably because....

5) I saw the little "Merlin Season Premiere" corner thingy pop up on the SyFy channel and got a little too excited. I think I pointed at the screen and said "OMG look" which probably looked silly and frankly was silly because it's not like I didn't know it was coming. Maybe it was just my response to seeing Colin Morgan's face on my television screen...I've only ever seen it on a laptop. I'm looking forward to the marathon next Sunday.

Speaking of things to do on a Sunday...

7) Today my friend and I took a little trip to an abandoned state mental hospital to walk around and take some photos. We're kind of UrbEx addicts and while this wasn't exactly that it was a nice trip nonetheless. I love abandoned places/things and while today wasn't great for photos (too sunny!) it was beautiful to walk around. I don't know if any of you are interested in that kind of thing (and my digital camera is a little crappy) but here are are a few of the photos if you'd like to see them:








  



















8) I came back to my LJ to feeling the need for new icons. I need to go clicking around for more, but definitely have things I need to be doing instead. I could keep them but having 15 at a time means I need to refresh my stock instead of adding to it. IDK why I am mentioning this. ANYONE OUT THERE MAKE ICONS??? POINT ME TO YOUR CREATIONS!!

9) FLIST I MISSED YOU!!

I've heard some people saying that it was a Bad jumper party, and that there was something similar in Bridget Jones' Diary? Idk, i haven't seen it. but come ON, both the jumpers are MILES too big, for a start, lmao. I think hers has a LEMON on it XDD

That was a lemon?? Who puts a lemon on a sweater? Or any clothing for that matter?? I mean, seriously, who sits around thinking "you know, there is a serious lack of clothing with lemons on it in this world, I think I'll fix that" ?

It had to be a party. I'm not sure my brain could wrap around wearing those things in serious way.

Their priority list was like:

1. LEMONS ON CLOTHING.

...

56. proper fitting clothes.

LOL. I really would hope so, although the dare works better in my head, just because I love the image of Colin swanning around elsewhere in a perfectly fitting pretty jumper, chortling merrily at Bradley and his three-quarter-length-sleeve-themed shame.

Well, when you put it like that I am perfectly willing to go the dare-route. Although now I need an image of Colin in a perfectly fitting jumper other than the one in my head.
