Day 13:
That was Wednesday? I hardly remember Wednesday. Oh! [info]rio_keshi made a really tasty stew. (Where did you put that? I looked in the fridge and couldn't find it.)

A rec, since I'm finally here

I love you
And All The King's Men by Mijan.

It takes solid ST:TOS canon (No spoilers, Scarlett; I happen to know you've seen all relevant episodes) and Jim Kirk and the Reboot and blends them together into the best damn Trek fic you have ever read.

You could read it as slash or pre-slash but it is so, so, so much better as gen. Says me, so you know there's gotta be some pretty incredible gen there.

Read it read it read it read it read it!

I Deleted My Pimp Hat Icon

Pimping this contest so as to gain more entries into it:

http://annemariewrites.livejournal.com/30365.html

It is a giveaway of The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan, plus an interveiw, plus a Question For Readers. I have to say, I couldn't even think of a single literary twist that wasn't TDL--I guess the books I read are just too straightforward.

Interveiws

Blacklicky
So today was the day of my interveiw, scheduled for 9:30. Woke up, frantic running around, gotta go gotta go do I have everything am I gorgeous (I was) is my suit straight have I got cat hair on it time to go!

And we left, and we drove, and an hour later we were five minutes away (and early :D) when the interveiwer calls me, tells me that something came up and one of his vital panelists (it's a panel interveiw) won't be able to make it so can we do it next Tuesday instead?

Well of course I say yes, but it's a bit of a bummer. Except oh, now we can press the collar of that shirt, and I'll have more time to study my answers, and won't have to do the interveiw on Not Enough Sleep (I got to bed at about two or three AM, woke up at 7:20). So honestly, I'm a little relieved--even that the call came late enough that I can't go back to sleep in good conscience. It'll be on this coming Tuesday--still early morning, though.

So anyway, we're heading to Goodwill to "see if we can find a better blouse"--I love the one we found yesterday, though--and the guy from the OTHER Providence job calls me. Not that he hasn't called me several times before, it's just that we've always gotten each other's voicemail. So I sceduled an interveiw with HIM on Monday at one. Two interveiws, two days.

Somebody is kicking butt at this whole "getting a phlebotomy job" thing.

:D

AZKATRAZ HELP

Blacklicky
So I was at Azkatraz and I saw this awesome costume of the Team Fortress 2 blue spy, pictured below, with a disguise mask* of Harry's face. I wanted to get a picture of him and I couldn't because NO ONE HAD ANY CAMERAS D:<



*The spy is capable of disguising as any other character; to his teammates, he looks like he's simply wearing a mask. Pictured behind the cut is a picture of the Engineer mask on a red spy.
Red spy w/ engie mask )

I NEED PICTURES OF THAT COSPLAYER. I know like a bajillion people who will think he was the TOTAL AWESOME SHIT and I need to FIND HIM. Google searches for "azkatraz spy" "azkatraz harry potter spy" "azkatraz spy team fortress" and other variations turned up nothing. PLEEEEZE, IF YOU SEE A MYSTERIOUS MASKED MAN WITH A KNIFE AND A BLUE SUIT IN YOUR PICTURES, SEND ME THEMMMMMM.

I don't have time to write up a full con report just now, it'll probably end up getting mixed in with my Whistler account later on, which is by the way BRILLIANT, I LOVE KAYAKING, but for now I just really really wanted to say this one really overdue thing:

[info]stitchesandlace: I'm sorry I said those things. I was being selfish, and I was tired and my blood sugar was low and I was grumpy and I didn't mean them. I'm sorry.
