blamethewizard1) 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!!

Date: 2010-03-21 10:56 pm (UTC)UTHER - HERE BE THE COOL JAMS.
Actually, I have little to relate, other than that I may or may not be making a batch of Merlin/Pokemon themed icons...because I'm an idiot.
Seriously, it all sprang from a conversation I was having with someone about how Arthur is clearly Evie and will evolve into different things, depending on what you give him...then it all went a bit wrong...
You gave ARTHUR OVERBEARING FATHER and DEAD MUM.
What? ARTHUR is evolving!
...
ARTHUR evolved into NERVOUS WRECK
ARTHUR learned BREATHE HEAVILY
You gave ARTHUR MAGICAL MANSERVANT and BIG GAY UNDERTONES.
What? ARTHUR is evolving!
...
ARTHUR evolved into ONCE AND FUTURE KING
ARTHUR learned HOMOEROTIC NOOGIE
...
Yeah. So I need help.
How are you?

Date: 2010-03-21 11:40 pm (UTC)Well, I dunno about you but I definitely need help. As long as we keep the crazy contained and possibly Merlin(or other fandom)-related I think we might be safe.
I'm otherwise doing alright...how have things been for you?

Date: 2010-03-22 12:07 am (UTC)And things have been ok but I am literally holding out for the end of term now...at which point I think we're all going to go to Thorpe Park and throw our Medieval essays off the highest ride...
It's been that sort of week...

Date: 2010-03-22 12:31 am (UTC)How long until the end of your term? Not long I hope. I remember the end of one semester we Geology majors longed to start busting things with our rock hammers. I think a few outcrops on our field trips may have sufferred...
Good luck and HOLD ON YOU CAN DO IT
