liptonrm_backupYou know what's frustrating? Trying to accomplish actual work while at work and not succeeding because the program is being a little bitch. It's also frustrating that they're not paying me solely to read fanfiction, but that's a little unrealistic, don't you think?
Wow, how awesome would that job be? It would be so awesome that it's no surprise that it doesn't actually exist because the sheer weight of it all would spontaneously form a quantum singularity and all life on the planet would be instantaneously crushed.
I, of course, saw Dead Man's Chest over the weekend. It was all sorts of ridiculous fun and dirty!Norrington was hot hot hothothot. I enjoyed what they did with Elizabeth (girl pirates rock! \m/) and the ending was great on lots of levels, I was so happy I wasn't spoiled for it, not BSG season 2 finale happy I wasn't spoiled but still, the giddy surprise was gleeful.
This is the perfect opportunity to remind everyone of the A Pirate's Life For Me ficathon. Now that you've all been piratically inspired you can share that joy in fic (or icon, or vid, or what have you) form. Yay pirates!
Speaking of, I had just noticed that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
writerj had posted a pirate story and when I went to read it I couldn't because his journal had been deleted. J, if you're out there hon, I hope everything's okay.
Yesterday I got a call from the Mum who was all a'tizzy because she had learned that Patrick Stewart was coming to Ann Arbor in October to perform The Tempest. Upon learning this I hurried to send out the word and everyone I contacted was all excited and stuff. A few hours later I got another call from the Mum informing me that all of Patrick Stewart's performances were already sold out. WTF U-M and the Royal Shakespeare Company? Single tickets don't even go on sale until the end of August and it's already sold out? Ya'll kinda suck.
Finally, I still love my new apartment even if the quiet can be a little unsettling at times (I have contemplated laying salt lines by the windows and doors but rock salt costs money). If worse comes to worse I'm sure my action figures will protect me. ;-)

and namechecks you in his latest entry, which is his Pippin pirate story.
Taking mental health day today. Soon I will go to the grocery store to purchase actual food. Then I will change my sheets. Then I will partake of a spot of fun with my new fictional boyfriend, pictured above.
P.S. SUCKS about "tempest"!!!!
