I'm so behind on everything.

ossobuco: playing the piano, suspiciously (cosmo piano)
I'm looking for a good desktop calendar, since suddenly I have stuff to keep track of, and as I'm not sitting at a physical desk when I use my computer at home, a wall calendar or something isn't practical. So, I'm looking for downloadable calendar software that will sit on my desktop and will let me add notes, vacations, events, and so on that will be visible at a glance. Preferably something that will sit on my desktop itself and not in a separate window. Bonus points for color customization, the ability to give me pop-up notifications of things that I tell it to notify me of, classy sleek fading-in-and-out look, and not costing money.

Can anybody recommend something like this? A quick Google search turns up tons, but... you know.

Bed time!

I woke up this morning and realized that I had no clean clothes.

Love Meme

my thread here


Also, if you like:

The Hypothetical AU Meme: Take any one of the fandoms, characters/pairings, or projects that you know I write, and give me a type of alternate universe (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc.). I will then explain what story I would write for that AU.

Dear life: I apologise for mocking your lack of action-movie excitement. I get your point.

That is to say, today's baseball game was Jesus H. Tap-dancing Christ fucking awesome. I'll be damned if it wasn't the best game I've ever had the pleasure of attending. I'd go on, but I've been foaming at the mouth about it for long enough, and I need to sleep sometime.

Dear world: please stop using the verb "grow" in a transitive fashion. You sound like a bad internet advertisement, and it is driving me crazy.

Edit to clarify: you have my permission to grow a garden, a tulip, a beard and/or a moustache, a third leg, et cetera. However, you are hereby forbidden from growing assets, economies, businesses, or anything else that is not a living thing.

That is all.

Seriously, it's a fucking whirlwind of high-budget visual effects and exploding cars

Let's see. I am off work until Saturday! Hell, yes, it is time to paint the goddamned town red. By which I mean, uh, prune my rosebush, and probably bake something.

Life. So exciting. It's like an action movie over here.

The broken pipe in the yard is fixed, though the yard still looks like crap, given that they had to dig up a good portion of it just to find the leak. Anyway, um, Mom's tomato plants are producing! I ate a tomato yesterday, and goddamn if it wasn't the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. Home-grown produce is completely amazing, totally beyond the ken of modern man, and it makes me very upset that we have to be so dependent on shipped, shelf-ripened, flat, flavorless produce. When I have my own place, I will diligently plant a little vegetable garden every year, and have at least two fruit trees, and be as self-sufficient as is feasible with respect to consumption. It's better for me, better for the earth, and LIFE WILL BE DELICIOUS.

I am seeing a baseball game tonight with my father. I expect it'll be a good game; according to Dad, it's the Mariners' star pitcher versus the White Sox's star pitcher (who threw a no-hitter recently, apparently?), so I am hoping for some classy pitchers'-duel action.

Needless to say, I did not find someone with whom to see last night's Down concert. THAT IS A PITY. However, Clutch is playing in Philadelphia on September eleventh, so I need to make at least one friend at UPenn, if for no other reason than to drag them along to that show. I've had at least three opportunities to see them in the last two years, and I've managed to miss every one, so I think it's time to get off my ass and change that.

I have seen several permutations of this meme floating around. I want to do it.

Via [livejournal.com profile] lady_tigerfish and [livejournal.com profile] aidosaur: Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive. No captions!

My "My Pictures" folder is so embarrassing. Don't worry, I'll try to ensure that you get the full experience without witnessing all of the LOLcats.

( 10 Pictures )

And if you missed the fandom meme from earlier, go and do it.
