Save Farscape banner of the day:

That's the one I use on the Spacecast board. Nice eh?

Etana's going through school-related difficulties so it looks like I'm on my own with the site for a bit. Ulp. Need to throw a few more things up there like TBZF's New York con report, with photos. Also need to kick that fabulous Pioneer Press article out to a few papers! Tomorrow.

Had really almost nothing to do today, bleah. Hopefully tomorrow will bring Good Things, like a response on the Project from Hell, and another short project I'm taking on for Gia, and help with Thierry's project costs (ahahahahaha! -- really enjoyed those).

Poor Kate having trouble with her paper.

I think Paula may be right -- I need high-speed Internet access at home. Unfortunately this appears to mean upgrading my computer, so NOT an option unless Daddy gets all quixotic with one of his and/or the company starts selling them off again. Not even close to being a top priority, particularly if I want to go to Scotland...

Missed my chance to throw in my $0.02 on the Kyoto protocol, rats.

Discovered the Gazette style guide today and it's a riot. Sample entries include:

dead bodies. The word "dead" is probably unnecessary.

apostrophes. The apostrophe is a dandy little punctuation mark when used properly. One way not to use it properly is to try to make plurals with it. It's "the 1930s," not "the 1930's." (However, "the '30s" needs an apostrophe at the beginning of the numbers, because it's an abbreviation.) You try to keep up with the Joneses, not the Jones'. And anybody who would write "two bus's" keeps her Barbies in shoebox'.

Brightened my day enormously, let me tell you...

Point of pride: cooked last night. However, failed to do yoga this morning. One day I will get all my ducks in a row (and then they will probably be run over by a passing motor scooter).

I shall pass the time with Internet quizzes. Hah. Take that, stupid slow CD burners!

What's your sexual appeal?

Hmm, not bad!

Definitely one of the lesser known of mythical bests, you are described as having the head and legs of a cock, the body of a serpent, and the wings of a bat (although there are wingless varieties). You were the blame of hundreds of thousands of deaths in the middle ages. Your breath and even gaze was deadly. Hundreds of basilisk hunts were organized to get rid of you. The hunters would carry mirrors so that, if they encountered you, they would have you look in the mirror and destroy yourself! Weasels were also reputed to be able to kill you, as they could resist your deadly gaze. You were a potent symbol of death and in some cultures the embodiment of Death himself. In Christianity, the Basilisk was linked with Satan.
What mythical beast best represents you?

Current Mood: contemplative

I refuse to believe that I'm a schoolgirl in bed. I demand a recount.

Damsels are hard to find in a modern world with screwy ideals! You're probably a romantic and you might even have a broken heart because, SURPRISE! The world isn't a fairy tale. I'm not saying you should change because that would be awful. Stick to your guns, be patient, and wait for that godamned prince-metaphor to come because, damnit, you deserve royalty and not some second-rate wannabe.

Hm. Still suspect, but better, thank you...

Current Mood: satisfied

What Farscape Character are you?

Current Mood: pleased

I, too, am Secretly Evil...

(or maybe just a wuss)

Current Mood: surprised

OK, Spacefem gets my vote:

Just as I suspected.

In even better news...

Which guy are you destined to have sex with?

Heath Ledger: You like them with a drop dead gorgeous smile, cute accent and from the Land Down Under.

Who is your Ideal Lord of the Rings (male) Mate?

and not what I would've picked (OK, I cheated, I got Saruman the first time).

OK, cheating BAD now... but I don't care. Well, not EXACTLY cheating. Just choosing the other of 2 equally likely options. (What do I have to do to get Boromir? Oh. Rats. Not an option.)
