This is the live

* First things first: Happy Birthday silme711!!! Have a great day!

++++


* Nothing much to tell other that I've been really busy with work and helping out with at my grandparents and trying to avoid the summer flu my colleague has been hosting for the last week. So far I've been successful with all but the last thing. I'm on sick leave for the next few days. I feel like I've been run over by semi. I was all over the place on Thursday but was okay for the next few days until yesterday.

* I managed to meet up with sandrine twice and saw "Bastille Day" with her and slippery_fish the week before last. Then there has been football and the office betting game. I actually won a cinema gift certificate.

* I'll be so very lazy this week I'm already back in bed after the very exhausting trip to the doctor's office this morning. I'll have some chocolate (thoughts of food make me all nauseous) and make some tea and then I'll watch some Bollywood.

* Feel free to rec me fluffy feel-good fics... :)

♥ Still moving, still not really done, but then I took Monday and today off. I didn't do anything at all because I felt (still do) like crap. Everything hurts and it's not just the moving. Not sure but I guess it's allergies. Meh.. Also some trouble with the electricity company which I hope will be solved soon. I am so not willing to pay that much, especially not when I'm alone and know that it's way less for three people. Argh...

♥ I do have internet and will have a broadband line soon (including new telephone number).I just don't really have time to be online. All I did today was sleeping and sending out applications. I didn't write or read anything (which I'll try to change after I posted this, at least when it comes to the reading part). Still haven't had the time to really do anything about Big Bang and it's just a month left. So I hope once I'm really settled in that I'll have time to finally get it all done. I have an outline, scenes sketched out and still love the idea. I guess I'll be able to get it done.. I hope.

♥ Still nothing about the job, so I'm looking for other offers as well. Media says it's looking good right now, only I don't see it. Not in my field.

♥ F1 has started back up and I don't know if I'm liking it so far or am totally disinterested. I like Sebastian. I like Mark and Jenson. But I'm not sure if I like the sport anymore. Kimi was probably the only getting me to really like it and be interested. Well, Kimi might go for NASCAR this summer (not sure if it will be him or just his team) and I might have something to giggle about again.

♥ Still obsessed with "Hawaii Five 0", still have only one OTP there. I really do need more time in the day, if only to be able to read more.

♥ I wanted to say more but I forgot what it was. Oh yeah, I'm so totally in love with Sam/Dean again that I really want more to read. Rec me your favorites please??? Self-recs are totally welcome.

♥ Tomorrow IKEA, Saturday bed room set up. Oh I see light at the end of the tunnel. Might even be in my place completely by next week. Yay.

My latop scared me to death on Thrusday and then on Friday again. It booted, up until the point where it showed the Windows sign, pinged and switched over tot he desktop.. only that it didn't switch but stayed black. There was a mouse pointer, I could move it and all but nothing else showed. Have to restart and do a system recovery. No idea what it was and if it will happen again. Safe mode worked the first time and I could save data and all, just no internet for me.. the second time it only worked for the datas before the recovery. I lost some stories. Anyway, works now and is even faster, I am still suspicious though.

Other things:
-> I am blocked. Like completely blocked. Probably because I lost the rewritten last part of the Dark Angel fic. Haven't written a word since then, not even edited stuff, which I am supposed to do so that I can finally post someone's late birthday present.

-> Did post fic though for the "Wherein verse": "Wherein Jared tries not to be too miserable (and to avoid being kidnapped by Mike... or not)", J2, PG-13

-> switched my Big Bang idea out for another one and I can finally take notes and start planning. I am glad I did it and I think chani_atreides will like this very much (not so mcuh the fact that she'll have to wait even longer now).

-> Bought a new bed and a new bookshelf (because it was on sale), threw out my old bookshelf and the old bed. I can sleep again, at least for a bit and I am rested now...a bit. So it really was the bed? Am still a little doubtful. Kitty loves the new bed already, it's way lower than my old one and she can just climb on without having to jump.
Spent three days sorting through books, DVDs and other things. I threw away about three sacks full of stuff.

-> to add to my massive amount of books (I had no idea I had *that many*) I ordered five more, so yeah I think my days will be filled with reading and hopefully writing again.

-> Allergies are worse than ever.... I don't know what to do, my eyes are burning and my nose is constantly swollen. I hate it. I feel like shit.

-> When I wasn't building my bed and bookshelf I was going three a "The OC" marathon. Found season 2 to 4 for 10 each, so no 15€ at amazon. Yay me. Too much money anyway but I needed it.

-> Podfics are awesome, especially podfics of fics from yoru fav authors and your fav reader. *nods* It starting to become my late night ritual before bed.

-> Mum should be back tomorrow and I still have some things to do around here. Nothing goes over spending Easter alone and cleaning and watching "The OC". Is it me or does that sound rather pathetic?
Well not really all alon, had my cat and grandparents + visitor came by today, brought lunch and cake and 20€ (I so know what that will be... Summer dress here I come). It was a nice surprise.

-> The boys... oh the boys made me smile this weekend. I am so glad that this con went so well. Just the pictures alone... and yeah... Boys.
Thank you Jensen war making me smile. Thank you Jared for making me snort out loud. Thank you Jim Beaver for being just... you... :=)

I forgot where I got it from but ( Jensen *sighs* and Jared :D )

* I can't get that song out of my head. I have known it for months, and yes I only watched the vid for Leighton Meester.
I like the song but when one of the big TV stations uses it for their program ads it gets old very fast. And now it's stuck in my head.
At least I have the whole album so it's not like I can't listen to other Cobra Starship songs.

* Where did my weekend go anyway?
Haven't been only much the last few days simply due to my mum coming home and deciding that a general cleaning and rearragne in half the rooms was in order.
My muscles ache and can't get rid of a major headache. Did I miss anything impostant?
I am not sleeping either which means I am rather bored at night but can't do anything productive due to the headache. I want to write fic, edit the parts I want to post I just don't feel up to it.

* Also having to walk through masses of snow because the streets and sidewalks aren't freed of it is not fun. But than it was my own fault for waiting so long and running out of food and rinks right?
Living somewhere that is not a main street these days is kind of hard, car got stuck yesterday while my mum tried to park it in front of the house.

* I don't know what to think of a possible 6th season. I am actually torn between feeling totally selfish and keeping a cool mind.
*shrugs* I think I'll go with "wait and see" here. And seriously, I won't miss the drama if it should be over this season.

* Firfox's Beta version of 3.6 is sort of neat, mostly. But sometimes it's really kind of bitchy.

So my ear infection isn't gone yet? Not it's still there and now it even is a full blown throat infection as well. Antibiotics are the bane of my existence. I hate to take them but I have to now.. Again. Have lost count how often this has happened lately.
Yay. Pain.
I feel so crappy that I can't even be bothered to do memes or post fic teaser or to even write.
I haven't even been checking LJ all that much and therefor have no idea what's going on fandomwise or otherwise.

Send me schmoopy fic links?
Please?
*puppy eyes*

But hey at least birthday present shopping with my grandparents was successful.
I sort of really looking forward to getting this present. And while being at shopping I spent my last money on Jared, or rather on the Friday 13th DVD.
I even got some Dr. Pepper. I wish I had more.

Wanted to make apple pie today. I have masses of apple here fresh from the garden, but them my mum occupied the kitchen for hours and I didn't feel like doing it in the evening.
Graving apple pie now. Go figure.

Happy Birthday chickenfried_jo!
Have an awesome day!
♥

Can some one take the pain away?
Please?
Damn back. Damn tooth. Why both at the same time?
It would be awesome if the painkillers would do their shop instead of doing nothing. Sleep would be nice, too.

Pain = not writing = not teaser or prompts as of yet.

I hate it.

*off to watch Gossip Girl*

***
I think I want to re-watch Dirty Dancing tonight.

Still sick. Even more so than yesterday, where I was still outside and on campus. I spent today in bed, pending between being asleep, being out of breath, coughing my lungs up, watching crappy daytime TV and reading fanfic.
Nice mixture if you ask me.
I did manage to watch Gossip Girl and Leverage (some notes on that maybe with the SPN review).

Anyway, being sick always has some strange effects on me. I either dream strange things or I develop strange food cravings or I get nostalgic all of a sudden.
It's the later two this time.
This monring I remembered that I still had some fresh grapefruit lying around, so I decided some vitamine C wouldn't hurt and ate them.
I couldn't stop eating and actually ate all three that I had left.
Now I am craving grapefruit juice because it actually helps with the throat burn.

As for the getting nostalgic thing, well I am not all that frequent on Last.fm but I couldn't resist today (with being too dizzy at times to read properly or what TV, music was just the right thing).
So I have been listening to Gary Barlow non-stop for the past two hours.
I have those CDs lying around under my bed somewhere and I haven't listened to them in ages.
I forgot how much I love "Open Road".
It' so strange to think back and realise that I grew up with his songs (either with Take That or his solo projects).

***
The good thing about being sick is that I actually get enough sleep again.
And sleeping keeps me from thinking too much about the future and about the thesis I am not working on because I am sick or about the job I am still not having.
So I think I can say I am rested but dizzy. It's strange feeling that way, it has been a while since I was that sick.
I had colds and stuff a lot lately but none of them was that tough.

***
The thing is that while lying in bed listening to music or watching TV I get the strangest plot bunies... or that might be due to the cough meds.
Still no real Big Bang idea though.
Not to mention that I didn't get to work on the "In & Out" fic.
*sighs*

***
Last but not least:
Hello to the new people in my flist.
Hope you'll have fun around here.
*waves and hands out cookies*

slippery_fish, you might want to watch swimming tomorrow. 100m Backstroke final women. Stasia is in it.
She is swimming again, qualified as 8th.
Oh and Roman'S record was broken as well and Pieter is sick and withdrew. So no Hoggie (man, he was 20th in the 200m free).
I just saw Arkady. ;)

****
Didn't do much to do. I didn't even work on anything because of the massive headache. I can still feel the cold and the cough. So not cool.
Actually wanted to do some things , things that had nothing to do with internet and fandom but which I didn't get done because I didn't leave the house.

Watched Torchwood though and ended up giggling about it again. No idea why this time but some scenes where just... *snorts*
Hmm, I kinda liked Gwen sometimes in this ep. Or well searching F1 pics and trying to figure out why Kimi looks so... uhm... pale? I can't even describe what it is.. Just.. Oh Kimi.)

But at least I do like my hair again. sandrine managed to give it a really nice cut and it's all bouncy and falling right again.
So yes I have a good hair day.

/randomness

Sick. Yep. And some fever, which thankfully is gone now, hope it stays gone.
Anyway stuffed nose turned into stuffed and bleeding nosed. How I hate that.

But at least I got some studying done. Need to to more of course but I think I'll manage.

Wish me luck for tomorrow.
Helped last time.. :)

Not on Thursdays anymore.
They will put Reaper after Smallville and put SPN on hiatus. But Reaper has only 2 eps left so that doesn't really say anything and it has to go up against Lost.
But not saying anything about reruns of SPN after that? Not so good.
I have no idea what that means for the show but the CW is rescheduling a lot because of the strike. I get that they want to give reaper more exposure while they can and it might mean that they are confident when it comes to SPN, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
*sighs*
Well, they say that Supernatural will definitely return, but who knows.

Anyway, at least we get the 12 eps they have so far.
And that they saved the last 4 eps for the February sweeps instead of showing them now seems to say a lot about SPN and well Reaper (they are showing the last 2 eps after Sweeps).
*shrugs* It's all screwed up anyway.
SPN in February:
01/31 - 3.09
02/07 - 3.10
02/14 - 3.11
02/21 - 3.12

Why am I even worrying?
I can't do anything anyway.

At least Torchwood will start soon.

***
In other news my cold decided to flare up again last night. I am all stuffed up and puffy again. I hate it.
Really do. And I am either really hot or freaking cold. Blah...

I am gonna go and drool over Jensen on a horse.. for the nth time.
