tempestuously: ([geass] will be the death of you)
Well, I fixed the issue I was having with no camera drivers. That issue being that I'm a moron who forgot that most programs post-2000 come with pre-installed drivers. At least I can finally post pictures of my haircut.

Checked out the "Breath" Geass vid and while I'm a bit jealous because that has always been my secret project, I think it needs a little tweaking. I'm not a fan of downtime in vids unless the music is really slow. If you have screaming, you need action. "Breath" is a song meant for an action vid. I admit my ideal use for the song would be a SuzaLulu focus because the song is so very Suzaku, much like "Bent." Because really "start hating" is the perfect lead-in to Ore!Suzaku freakoutery. Can't say I wouldn't go for the same ending though. XD

ETA: Um, doujin, can we not have adorable kiddie flashbacks in the middle of sex? k thnx.

I has a plan for the weekend:

1. Make new Geass screencaps while listening to AS end tracks
2. Make pretty AS and Alexiel icons
3. Catch up on Toward the Terra
4. Review the Geass fic I've missed (excluding rape because no)
5. Finish whatever memes I set up for myself
6. Scan at least one doujin

And now for your long-delayed Geass introspection of the week via Celiss as always. Today's subject: Suzaku and how everything he is he owes to Zero/Lelouch. Also how Zero keeps Suzaku from destroying his own personal ideals and thus, in his own special way, preserves Suzaku's sanity up until 22. It'll make sense, I promise. )

Oh how I miss being able to randomly listen to my drama CDs or browse through fanart. I've decided to compensate for my lack of time by cutting my hair in half. [livejournal.com profile] quebelly is coming down to assist me with this. She promises there will be hair magazines and such. It will be good. I haven't seriously cut my hair in years, but I'm just sick of being too lazy to do anything with long hair. Once I cut it, I'm totally going to die it RED again. Because my being a redhead fucks with the time and space continuum oh so good.

I haven't ranted about music recently so I will. I hate the "Because of You" duet by Clarkson and Reba. I love both singers, but they sound horrible together. Reba makes the song too old, and it loses all meaning. I never much liked the song when Clarkson sang by herself; it's too much of a wangsty message song. But I really hate it whenever it comes on the country channel. It makes me physically ill, and I have to turn it off right away. I don't care if your issues with life and love have traumatized you. Tell someone else.

I'm still trying to get used to Vista and failing. I don't like the way everything practically blinds me. I also just realized that I probably lost my promotional Geass background and now will probably have to use fanart porn. Or the horse pic. I really really want to know what's going on in the horse pic aside from the Geass boys riding through the fields while stripping off their jackets and damn well flirting each other like fruity poofs. Back to Vista hate. I hate how it has to question everything I do, and I'm too lazy to figure out how to make it stop.

In other news, I decided to ditch my old layout idea and make one for SuzaLulu confrontation scene featuring "Bent." When I can reinstall Photoshop that is. Grr.

Well, that's that. The laptop finally snapped one side completely. My boss warned me this would happen. It basically fell back down on its front too hard yesternight, and now it's fairly busted beyond repair on that side. I don't think I shall ever be able to remove it from its backing construct again. I'm going to have to start saving up for a new laptop. Life sucks.

Now back to trying to find gender-swap festival without spoiling self horribly for Geass. Also to make icons. Lots and lots of icons.


ETA: My resolve to remain unspoilered is quickly deteriorating. -_-;;

ETA2: I suck and gave up and am now spoilered. Wah.
tempestuously: ([blackcat] *wankwank*)
I'm currently typing this with my laptop pushed up against my headrest because my laptop can no longer safely support its screen and my desk is buried underneath manga. I should really buy another bookshelf. Boss says he's going to try to make something to help this situation, but I might have to end sending the damn thing in to the manufacturer for repairs. I'm so pissed. I also hate typing like this. It hurts my back. Maybe I need a book or something to raise the laptop up to my level.

I have invited a new member to our epic Otakon quest and secured another day off to better manage said quest. Someone needs to remind me that next time I want to come up with my altruistic ideas, I need to do it at least a month in advance. Hotel bitch better have ordered his tickets or I'm going to cut him.

I had a conversation with coworker. It went badly to say the least and now I'm fairly sure she's trying to avoid talking to me. Score. I don't think this is going to fix the problem at all.

I probably won't be venturing out to [livejournal.com profile] quebelly's house for fireworks mayhem tonight since not only do I have to work tomorrow morning, but my hope that I would have someone else to make sure I don't get lost on way to the assignment decided I could handle things on my own and is cool with just meeting up. Just peachy.

I have no fandom news worth note today. I just want to say that yesterday clearly sucked in every way possible and I apologize to anyone who had to speak with me.

Oh goodies to restore my brother's computer and the fate of all family sanity, I must set up the router once more. I forgot that as awesome as Comcast is--FUCKYOUVERIZON--it cannot function without its precious router OTP or something. Perhaps it missed my rant on the necessity of significant others. This probably means that I shall inevitably explode my Internet for a day or two. But if it's not up again by this evening, it won't be until Sunday.

Should my computer survive this operation, I will be altering my icon keywords so that they're more spiffy and less "so and so made this icon."

Time to throw down as Jaden/Juudai would say.

EDIT: Victory. Now for Xenosaga II. Yar.

No, I did not get to write today. But I will! I also have to plot through my camp idea so I can do something with that soonish. Instead, I spent the day searching for Harry Potter materials. I found me the shirts stuff, but the tie was a hard find. I'm still so-so on the one I finally selected. I could have found something closer, but it cost $30 and seeing as I'm a woman, I couldn't justify spending that much on a tie I'd wear once. My father also freaked out at me for suggesting it. I wish I could find a Hogwarts patch. All in all, I spent around $30 on the ensemble, if Tom and I don't have at least three in our group, I shall cry.

I have a nifty pic to upload later of Sasuke-neko and Nikki going at it. Sasuke's eyes are glowing this horrifying green the whole time. My brother and I kept joking at calling it queasy Sharingan, this occuring right after Dad watched last week's Naruto episode and insisted Haku was a female. This is the most surprised I've seen him since he went on about how hot Shuichi was in an anime store, and I had to point out Shuichi was a guy. I cheered him up by telling him Haku makes many boys question their sexuality. Then I scared him some more by joking that ANTM's Kimmie makes me question mine. XD

I would kill to know why my computer is being so slow, especially the Internet. Loading any image pages or camp-related things are murdering the poor thing. It has enough memory and I'm not running anything resource-demanding. I don't get it.
