I'm beginning to wonder if I'm not doing some kind of permanent damage to my shoulder from all the cross-stitching. I came home last night and stitched for about five hours straight.

I'm such a progress whore, what else can I say? I've made the decision to keep changing color threads on my needles and fill in entire areas instead of stitching to oblivion any and all spaces in one color at a time. The upside is that I don't miscount stitches nearly so often (in fact, only once so far, which is phenomenal given how much I've finished). The downside is that I get to see an entire area completed at once and it makes me gung-ho to finish more. This is a bad thing...how? Because my shoulder is achy as is my arm. After the cross-stiching weekend of doom, I had a completely dead arm for a day and a half after the fact. Every time I rotate my shoulder, it cracks for the entire rotation. Time to stop.

I get to go wine-tasting today for free. My former neighbor imports wine and he goes to vendor fairs of a sort to which he's always invited my parents. My mom's booked, so I'm substituting. I should be jolly and wasted (because I don't believe in that spitting-it-out-when-you've-tasted-it shit)--for free! Good wine, too. Then I might do dinner with the Pappy, at which time I will finally get the last forms I need to do taxes (uh, hooray?) and the second disc set for season 1 of Farscape. ivy03 take note: it shall soon be in thy possession.

Re-reading TWoP reviews of Battlestar Galactica makes me hurt for not being able to watch the show every week. Also, what the shit is this seven-month hiatus crap? According to the air dates, the second season started about three months after the first season ended. Really, WTF? The third season better be really, really good. I mean, blows-away-"Pegasus"-and-any-episode-that-came-close-to-being-that-good good.

Which reminds me: I need to find season 2.0 in its entirety for deepredbelle because her reviews of eps will probably kill me so dead. I was reading the TWoP for last week's LOST and man, hers was much more interesting. Yes, it was a fairly boring episode, but at least it wasn't Sawyer-and-Hurley-hunting-frogs boring and STUPID. We'll see if it's new tomorrow. Probably won't be (I am not holding my breath for House tonight either, but, then again, since I'll be out tonight, I bet it is a new episode).

ETA: FUCKER FUCKER FUCKER. Of course it's a new episode tonight! feiran, can you tape it for me?

speaking of fandoms, I liked the sketch here, just thought I'd share.

I've knitted myself into wrist pain that may have been carpal tunnel several times. The perils of being an obsessive crafter =).

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Carpal tunnel would be worse than the shoulder thing because I use the computer so much at work, so you win fer sure.

But yeah, what's up with being girly yet having the aches and pains of a sport-o type?

[ecmyers.livejournal.com]

It might take a little time and some DVDs, but I can copy the second season DVDs I made... does she only need the second half?

[ecmyers.livejournal.com]

Oh, and since I think feiran will miss it and I won't be home, I've asked a coworker to bring in her copy of tonight's episode of House for you tomorrow... just in case. Let me know if you need it.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Hey that would be awesome. And I'd totally watch it in time for her to have it back by Thursday, swear to Jeebus.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, but let me talk it over with her and I'll let you know.

I'm absolutely, one hundred percent convinced that the minute I buy season 2.0, they'll release a box set of the entire damn second season. And then I'll cry, like, a lot.

Lost is only giving me tidbits to snark on, man. After last week's episode, we better be heading into some MEAT, godammit.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I miiiiiiiight be able to help you out about that. Heee.

Also, yay to more substantial LOST. Do I think it will happen? Errrm, well, seeing as we didn't even get inside the hatch last season..

[moonlightalice.livejournal.com]

i have (i think) all of bsg (seasons 1 & 2) on my computer. if you'd like, i can transfer them to you.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

This is exactly what I would wish to happen. How can we make it so, Number One?

[moonlightalice.livejournal.com]

upon closer inspection i have on my computer all of season one, and of season two: episodes 1-10, 14-17, and 19 & 20. the spottiness of the end of season 2 is due to watching the eps with you guys instead of on my computer. if you want them, i can send them to you tonight. i'm on my way to tor right now but i can start transferring at some point this evening.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I would love any and all that you have. I will scramble to get the rest of them somehow. You are the excellent. I knew I put you in charge for a reason.

Want a promotion? You can be my Vice Chancellor in charge of Proliferation (*WINK WINK*).

[moonlightalice.livejournal.com]

do you have aim or googletalk?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

In fact I do. When shall I arrange to be on then? You can catch me at trinityvixen or my first name [dot] my last name.
