Happy Dayse Are Here Again

Will I ever stop loving coffee?  The answer is 'no, benches, never!' xDD

Also, I think I kind of love Kradam now.  They're both so epic and wonderful and perfect, and honestly, I could not be happier with how the finale ended, because they're great and they deserve all the success in the world.  Adam will be fine, Kris will be fine, and although I might have watched and enjoyed previous seasons of this show before, I never felt any real desire to own any of the music - but that's totes diff now, because I am SO buying Adam AND Kris's cd when it comes out.

And possibly the dvds for this season D:

The great thing is, they ARE so different and I love them for different reasons, and both are SO damn talented.  I love how ... natural and at home Kris seems singing and playing his guitar and he's done some of the most original/creative song arrangements I've heard on this show.  I mean, "She Worked Hard for the Money" will never be the same for me again.  I never THOUGHT about that song before, y'know?  And omg, "Heartless".  I HEART "Heartless", y'all, for srs!

And Adam's just fanfuckingtabulous and srsly, it's like ... he wasn't even a contestant on this show, you know?  He was like some really talented guy who the show should be thanking decided to come o this show and sing for them.

So yes ... /fan.

:D

So I got to see my family doctor yesterday and wow - do all doctors suck or is it just me? I mean, he was slightly better than the other doctor I saw, but he was still a fail. He didn't even LOOK at me for most the conversation, just wrote shit on his pad, he left the room three times to talk to his wife and some ... other random person, and then at the end he LEFT and never came BACK. He didn't even say anything. Just went 'mm hm' and left and that was it. I sat in there for about a minute before I was like "... okay, I guess it's over."

At some point, do doctors just go 'okay, I just don't give a shit anymore'? I know when I was working in a call centre, at a certain point no amount of yelling, bitching, complaining, etc., had any impact on me. I was just like 'yeah okay, here's the situation'. I would like to think I still had EMPATHY tho. But is that what happens to doctors/nurses? Do they just reach a point where they've seen enough suffering, injuries, runny noses, crying babies, boils, broken limbs and so on, that they just ... stop giving a shit? Does it become another customer service job? Because, quite frankly, I think there are TWO professions in the world where GIVING A SHIT should be a requirement: teachers and doctors. Caring/passion may make the difference between a good architect and a great architect, or a good chef and a great chef; but if you're a doctor or a teacher, isn't that, like, 50% of the job? The majority of doctors out there are not Gregory Fucking House, you can't excuse your shitty attitude with your extraordinary brilliance. Especially if you are NOT extraordinarily brilliant. This could easily segue into my teacher rant, but I'll refrain -_-;

Anyway, I'm pretty much gonna be like this for anther 3 months or so. Which SUCKS so bad. I can't even sit back or lay comfortably on my back, or run. Bah. At least I got a straight answer, more or less.

In other, happier news. I'm off to <a href="http://www.woofstock.ca">Woofstock</a>! According to their website they're expecting 25,000 dogs and their owners and oh man, I can just imagine how crazy it's going to be! Soda has no idea what's in store for her *g* Pictures will be taken!

So I wiped out on the stairs pretty damn hard last Wednesday, just over a week now, and I was totally out of it for about two days (couldn't get out of bed). Then I was hobbling around for a bit on crutches, and now I seem to be better. I still can't run or sit comfortably, but I'm definitely better than where I was. But I have this swollen lump on my back, a little bigger than the breadth of my hand, and it seems to be ... stopped there? Like, the swelling was spread across the small of my back before, and now it's definitely reduced, but it doesn't seem to be getting any smaller! [waives fists of fury]

Should I go back to the doctor? Is this normal swelling? OMG I'ma throw a fit :P

John Travolta looks like a Backstreet Boy: y/y?

Thanks to the lovely and wonderful shayheyred I have a dreamwidth account! You can find me here: http://dayse.dreamwidth.org :)

So if you buy a paid account at Dreamwidth, what happens after it expires? Will your journal be deleted or can you just continue with a basic account?

[eyes it]

Things goin' okay around these parts, I got a slight raise at work, so that's good times, and I got to leave early today because of low volumes. We had the option to stay but I felt like napping instead. Mmm ... napping.

In other news, it's ... raining?

Oh yeah, the excitement that is my life, she rolls like thunder.

ETA: D'oh! I thought I had registered my OpenID thingy and confirmed my email address, but I guess not :/

Oy, woke up this morning with a headache that still hasn't gone away. Only replace 'this morning' with, uh, about a half hour ago xD I keep having really weird, fucked up dreams, too, what's up with that? Just once I want to have a dream that involves me and Joe Flan enjoying each other's company in quiet solitude, or blasting across the alkali flats in a jet-powered, monkey-navigated.... and so on.

In other news, I have disabled LoudTwitter. After trying it out for a few days, I'm not sure it's really for me, just 'cause it seems like since I rarely post, that's ALL that posts. Erm, if that makes sense. Still not decided if I like the whole Twitter thing or not, although it is better than Facebook (to me), as the messages come right to me as opposed to me having to log onto another site to check it out. Although David Hewlett much amuses hehe.

Also: sorry I haven't gotten to comments, and I'm woefully behind on the flist. I think I've just been feeling 'blah' about things in general lately. But the warm weather, she is a'comin' and hopefully that'll brighten things up in general.

• 10:46 On break at work; Twitter is still horrifying to me in a way I can't quite place. BUT! I love that Neil Gaimen follows David Hewlett :D #
• 10:47 @Steve_Quinlan 103 degree fever! Don't be so obtuse! xD #

So hay - I'll be the one at the MJ party in sweat pants and a t-shirt, because I just spent three hours at the mall and didn't come away with so much as a PAIR OF JEANS. Because apparently size 16 = "Fuck you, no clothes for you".

-_-

Etsy, you have eaten my brain.




I've ordered $40 worth of soap omg.

Q: What will you miss the most about the show?
Jason: Joe.

<333 I swear, these two kill me.

Also - there's UPPER THIGH GROPING HOMG.

This episode is on Space right now and yes - Rodney is all sorts of kick ass in this, but I'm surprised by how much I'm loving Elizabeth in it. I remember liking her the first time around in this episode, but it's been a while since I've seen it so I kind of forgot. But I thought she spoke to Rodney with genuine caring and insight and understanding. She really rocked it.

I'm feeling much better now, thank god! Man, being sick sucks ass. I also burnt through all my sicks days for the year and January isn't even over yet [cries]! Ah well, I plan on never being sick again ever, so hopefully it won't be an issue -_-

Also, does anyone know how to make your comments page just look like the regular, default comments page and not whatever you have your journal customized to look like? [shakes fist] I've been told before but that was a while back and now I've forgotten all over again. I poked through my viewing options and and customize your journal, but none of those options look right.

Nothing much going on with me. I'm really looking forward to MJ, it'll be my first real vacation since visionshadows and iterationzero's wedding, and it'll also be my first fandom con!! I'm vurry excited :>

I hope to see a bunch of you there ^_^

I'm sick. Flu or somethin. I hate being sick, I hate missing work -_____- I haven't been sick in SO DAMN LONG I forgot just what a miserable and pathetic experience it is. I feel all clogged up and achey and sniffly and gross.

Bah.

Y'all need to see this like right now omg! It's Band from TV performing on Leno a few nights ago and they're so fun and happy! Honestly, smiliest band ever hehe!

Hugh Laurie and Jesse Spencer were great, I thought.

Does anyone know how to download videos off Youtube? I tried the Firefox extension but it didn't give me the high definition version, just some really crappy little one :(

I need to stop watching this show, it always makes me cringe D8 I have a total embarrassment squick, why do I watch this! It's so much better to come into this show when they've weeded all the bad people out, and they're just singing and voting like normal. But I know that won't happen until after weeks of bad auditions, followed by weeks of stringing people along through an agonizing elimination process.

In other news, I have a new mouse and keyboard, they're niiiiifty! The keyboard has illuminated keys! And the mouse is all sleek, and black, and um - bendy. It's totally my John Sheppard mouse xD
