Open Water.
I sat through it because... I don't even know. To this day I regret not walking out.
It was dreadful because nothing happened, the storyline is completely ridiculous, and they claim it's based on true events but it's actually completely made up. And considering it's made up it could have been way more interesting. Also, the acting sucks.

Jan. 9th, 2010 06:23 pmFine, I lied, here's a picture. I'm so bored right now.
Back: a book about the Roman Empire, my board that fell down (House MD comic, Con ticket and stub that I won my gift voucher with, bunny I drew, hidden drawing, etc)
Front & middle:
serena_took 's card, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Cien Años de Soledad, old ceramic Asian figure, Rorschach pose dummy, vintage fabric bag of flour that I framed,
miss_bushido 's green little buddy (xmas present) sitting on the box of one of
wikiwikiwick 's gifts. Mystery box with stuff that's needed next to bed.
Yes, that's how my shelf looks all the time. Or at least since around Christmas this year xD

Because I needed a new addiction, ok?
Jan. 9th, 2010 01:20 pmIn case anyone was wondering, I'm keeping the more personal stuff here, but all the picspams and other silly stuff is now posted at my Tumblr:
Wow, I never post anymore
Dec. 23rd, 2009 08:54 pmBut, I did update the website AND we got the new podcast episode posted. Awesome.
Here's my uber cool all black and white outfit topped with the Rorschach bracelet I got from
wikiwikiwick for Christmas! ( That's a skirt, actually. )
( Here's my Christmas tree. )
( Presents! )
I'm going to post pictures of the other presents I got after Christmas (mainly more of
wikiwikiwick 's, unless my sister gets me something)

Dec. 2nd, 2009 11:32 amHey fellow lj friends. Do you have Wishlists? I have had a couple but never posted links to them anywhere (or emailed it, that seems like a dickish move), I use them to keep track of stuff I want to buy. Like an "ideal shopping cart" if you will.
Have you ever had something bought for you from a Wishlist? Were you surprised? Was it awesome?
Also, feel free to pimp out any wishlists you have. What? I'm bored and like to see interesting crap people want to/will buy.
I had thought of making this a community post at
wptjeh , but we have very few members, and no one ever posts/comments. Do you think it would be a nice idea? Maybe someone will get generous and buy stuff for fellow fans. (I know there's a gift exchange going on in Twitter. Maybe that would be better? But the thing about Wishlists is you don't have to hand out your personal info.) Thoughts??

Happiness is a working hard drive
Nov. 3rd, 2009 09:12 amFuck my diet. I'm going to eat left over pizza washed down with coke for breakfast as I back up everything in my formerly defunct hard drive. That's right: IT'S ALIVE!! Zombie hard drive FTW!
This must be what happiness feels like.
LMAO my lj now looks like a completely detailed log of my descent into madness. At least it's entertaining...

You know what happened last night? My hard drive crashed. It died. For good. Which hard drive, you say? The one in which I had all my movies, and my music. And all the website stuff. Including the podcast stuff. EVERYTHING I HAD IS GONE. FOREVER.
And I think I broke up with the guy I was seeing. In any case, I'm not pleased.
I'm just sitting here, waiting for whatever else is in store for me. Because life has a habit of kicking me when I'm down. And then spitting on me, stomping on me for three minutes... and then kicking me again. Sweet.

Hello, fellow Watchmen fans.
Oct. 11th, 2009 04:03 pm Your challenge, should you chose to accept it, is to start a chronologically correct (except for the year of course) re read of Watchmen.
Start tomorrow, October 12th, and read only what is narrated in the corresponding October 12th journal entry. Then do the same for October 13th, and so on.
Of course, not ALL of Watchmen has been meticulously dated via journal entry, so you are going to have to use your judgment in those cases. Go by day/night intervals or just time yourself between entries. For example: Chapters 3 and 4 are Dr. Manhattan-centric. Rorschach's final entry in Chapter 3 is October 16th (after visiting Moloch) and the next one is October 21st in Chapter 5 (at Molochs' again). So you will have 5 days to read those chapters as you prefer -all at once, a few pages a day, etc.-
Since it's all for fun and no profit, you can do whatever you want, obviously. But it would be awesome, wouldn't it?
Would anyone be interested in doing some #Watchmen tweeting during the re read?

I had this nightmare a couple of nights ago, but I scared the living daylights out of me, so I am going to share it with you. Of course, this was mostly scary because as I was dreaming it, it felt like it was actually happening to me, so you might read it and go "... meh"
I was in my old apartment with my sister, one that was tiny and on a 5th floor and had only the one, paper thin door to exit through, and into a very narrow corridor. For some reason, we were already scared and running/hiding from something or someone. I hadn't been disturbed by the dream up to this point so I can't remember much of what happened until then.
As we were starting to calm down, I hear a fumbling at the door. Not a banging, but, like someone trying to open it or something else. So I sneak over to it and look through the peep hole only to find some average yet creepy looking figure standing there. I freak out and lean against the door, telling my sister that there was someone out there. Then I suddenly hear more noises, and the door starts to budge a little. So I look out the peep hole again... and there are more people out there! Like 5 more. And now they are all trying to get the door open. I start yelling frantically at my sister to come and help, and to hide the dogs (idek) and every time I look back out there are more and more creepy looking figures outside! I woke up when the door was starting to give, completely terrified.
Thoughts? o.0

Kinda bored
Oct. 3rd, 2009 02:48 pmI think I might do NaNoWriMo this year (again). I have a very cracky story that I know I would have fun writing, and I will never do it unless I get into something like this. Yes, I am NOT a writer, I am aware of this.
I had fun last year but my story wasn't nearly as cracky, so I'm really looking forward to this insanity.
I have also decided to go back to school next year. I have no idea what I want to study -something free and fun.
What is everyone else up to?

Look how I procrastinate
Sep. 24th, 2009 03:12 pmBecause I already did this with the Director's Cut and the theatrical dvd covers, I couldn't just skip this one.
If you can't laugh at yourobsessionsfandoms they will, I don't know, eat you. Or, something.

Sep. 22nd, 2009 10:46 pmIt's been a while since I did a proper Watchmen Spam in my journal. This merits a post. An unlocked post.

ETA: People, stop whining. Yes, they're trying to make more money. It's bad enough that the movie sort of tanked in the box office, it deserves to do well. Sure, some asshole, fat cat, movie business exec will get even richer, but then everyone else involved in it will gain some more respect for it. Also, it will be EPIC. And AWESOME.

I'm buying this. I need to start saving up some money. It shall be mine.

What has been up with me...
Sep. 14th, 2009 12:26 pmWell...
I'm still dating the guy I met earlier in the month and it's going very well. I'm very excited, considering I haven't had a date or a relationship in a couple of years. I wasn't looking for it, which is obviously the exact time when it finds you. I'm not complaining, of course.
I also started hanging out with a close friend again, like we used to back in the day. And we have so much fun together, it's insane.
But, I have neglected my girls (Team ShortSchach) and missed them so much :( I hope I can catch up with them during the week, and get the podcast stuff done also. You know, right now, the JEH void is working for me. At least until I get back into my usual routine or get a hang of the new one (if it lasts). I should train one of you to do editing in case I get too behind with work or something. After all, Summer is approaching here, and what if I want to enjoy the sun? Hmm. I think I can do both (or all three if you count work), though. Don't panic! :D
