Boo! Hiss!  
All I want to do today is sit around and catch up on fandom/chat on AIM.

Instead I have to go to Bentleigh and buy food so I don't stave (at least there is a place there that sells really yummy chips (french fries) and dippin dots ice cream. Then I have to come home and clean the apartment which looks like a hurricane has been through it.

BOO! HISS! DO NOT WANT!

CRAP!!!  
I really need to start looking at my course outlines more closely, I thought I only had to do an essay presentation (a mini thesis defence, basically) tomorrow for New Media and Society but I also have to hand in an essay outline as well, that will require a little more writing than an presentation... I was this close to getting a good nights sleep.

Also my sister is sick (headache, nausea, vomiting, possible migraine but she feels like she is getting a fever too) if what she has is contagious I will not be happy.

Speaking of my sister she is going home on Wednesday, then I can get back to spending all my time on LJ, yay! Also if you are signed up for my Sports Night the questionnaire will finally (I had to get various approvals) posted tomorrow, I'll email everyone who expressed interest when it is up and post to the communities etc.

I have a massive catch-up post to write Wednesday night, I've been to half of Melbourne's major attractions in the last week. Which explains why I haven't been here.

And finally House tomorrow! YAYS!

GRRR!  
I am so over sociology right now.

(And yes the essay was due yesterday, I'm still working on it, I'll hand it in tomorrow.)

And to add to my frustration someone who appears to have some highly contagious nasty chest thing just sat down two tables down from me. They have the most charming barking cough.

I haven't seen the two latest 30 Rock episodes yet, I have them downloaded but I haven't had the time, stop eating my life, La Trobe.

This song is georgeous and other thoughts.  
You and I are a Gang of Losers - The Dears - I love this song so much and it reminds me of Mulder and Scully. My sister who has launched into full X-files fangirlishness since being here with me agrees about this song being very Mulder and Scully.

I have a sociology essay due on Monday and I have barely started but I'm not worried. Yet.

I brought two long-sleeved t-shirts, two short-sleeved t-shirts and a scarf from Cotton On today for $50.00, I win shopping, they fit really well too, I'm going to go back and get more.

My sister and I went to Chapel Street today where she got the most awesome new handbag (handbags are like a fandom for my sister, seriously, I've never seen someone devote so much time and/or money to the acquisition of handbags, she is like the Imelda Marcos of handbags.)

Pic under here. )

(Also my sister can make any hat look good. The hat she is wearing in this picture makes me look slightly well, challenged.)

I'm going to a party tomorrow night, yay, I haven't been to a party in ages.

It is freezing cold and has been for days.

Well thats all for now. I need to go to bed.

I'm still alive!  
I'm still here, just very busy right now.

My sister is staying with me at the moment and man has that lead to some nerdy scenes. Such as the two of us discussing the relative merits of the various incarnations of The Doctor (Ten pwns all.) Each of us sitting at a computer trawling wikipedia whilst a third computer is being used as a video player/jukebox, both of us reading fandom!secrets and discussing them and the list goes on an on. My sister has been fairly easygoing thus far (she has a tendency to get very highstrung and stressed when out of her home environment) and generally fun to be around.

I also have a sociology essay due next Monday and I've started to seriously research/write it which is also taking up time.

Also my sister being here using the internet and some asshole in my building stealing my internet means that I'm currently suffering though 12 days of 64kb hell so flisting is taking forever.

That said I've been kind of glad to miss the House/Wilson fans acting like total fuckwits, God I hate House fandom, I've been in fandom for 15 years now and I have ever seen a group of people behave as consistently ridiculously as the various House shipper groups do.

Also this (X-files spoiler pic) ) caused my sister and I to squee for about three hours straight when we saw it and speaking of The X-files does anyone know if the trailer for XF:IWTB is going to be attached to Ironman in Australia as well? My sister and I are considering seeing it and if the trailer was attached then we would 99% go.

Does someone want to come and clean my house for me?  
I have to finish cleaning my apartment before my sister arrives tomorrow night and put simply, I don't want to.

I'm tired, Good News Week is on, I still have to take a shower and I have to be up at 6am for eight hours of classes.

I still have to do the dishes, clean the bath/shower (all in one) and the sink and the toilet and put away two loads of washing and generally tidy. Yesterday I dusted, vacuumed and did the two loads of washing that are now waiting to be put away.

I HATE CLEANING!

ETA: I'm getting an earache too, my right ear feels all blocked and full and is starting to ache a little, I don't think it is an infection though, it has been really smoggy for the last few days and I'm generally feeling a little congested, I think the earache is just an extension of that.

Ignore me, I'm just generally irritable right now.

I fail sleeping.  
Why am I not tired?

It is 12:30 (not at all late by my standards but still...) and I have to be up at 8am. I'm hoping that if I got to bed with some Arrested Development on that I'll fall asleep pretty quickly because I'm sick of ending up with sleep depravation headaches on Monday and Tuesday afternoons.

Also why do I read about timeslot changes and ratings in the [info]30_rock community, all that ever ends up happening is I end up getting anxious that yet another show I love will be canceled. This is probably irrational but I've been burnt one too many times by various US networks (and don't even get me started on Australian TV networks.) If 30 Rock got canceled I would cry. Seriously.

I finally did something I've been toying with for a while...  
And started a blog devoted to bad porn in fandom.

Well, This Lacks In Sexy.

There are two reasons for this, firstly I only spork about 1% of what I read here and sporking is fun and at university we are encouraged to start writing a blog that pertains to a specific topic so we can improve our writing over time so why not write about something entertaining?

So if you find bad porn funny head over there, I'm gonna try to update daily.
