So, this has been a truly sucktastic week. Too many hours spent in hospitals, too many tears shed and surgeries performed. January can seriously end any day now.

My friend's surgery went well and while there was a short clot scare everything looks pretty okay right now. Thank you all for your prayers and good vibes. Believe you me, they were very much appreciated and felt.

On the way home from the hospital last night the rear view mirror in my car fell off because I was banging on the windshield wipers trying to get some washer fluid out of them. The ride home was fairly harrowing (the hospital is a little over an hour from where I live) but I made it in one piece. Got everything fixed today and am giddy that I can now see out of my previously salt-encrusted windshield. I would spend more than $400 dollars in order to avoid a terrible high-speed death on the interstate.

Today is Dean's birthday and yesterday was National Pie Day and I think I should have pie to celebrate with. Unfortunately I do not have any. I could go to the store and buy some but it's very cold out. But maybe if I had pie Dean would show up on my doorstep. Oh the conundrum.

I got a little writing done in the waiting room yesterday, but not much. I also got a little knitting done but at one point I started dropping stitches left and right and decided that my knitting time was officially over.

I am now going to go stare blankly at the TV, and maybe get my clothers from the laundry room. Only a week until January is officialy over. Thank goodness.

ETA: If anyone has any fantabulous crossover ideas we're still accepting prompts over at the SPN Crossover Challenge. Just so you know.

You know, I bet part of my stress was being internet incomunicada for the past week, or so. Right when I needed the soothing balm of fandom and lj friends I was cut off. Am feeling quite a bit calmer this afternoon.

I watched all of the Firefly dvds in three days. Wow. Television Blathering )

Discuss: The word whore seems to be taking on new connotation as society changes. What is that new connotation (if any), why is it happening and how do you feel about it?

It's thundering outside. That sound still excites me.

ETA: For all you Potter-fans who will be buying and devouring the books this weekend please feel free to spoil me to your little hearts' content. I won't be buying the book, may never be buying the book and would dearly like to be able to understand the flood of fic that is about to be unleashed upon this corner of the internet. Harry Potter spoilers make little liptons happy.

Things have been rather hectic, of late. The office has been moving up to another floor and seeing as work is the only place where I have an internet connection I haven't been able to get online much at all since last Thursday. I'm sure I've missed all sorts of important things.

Am having a good ol' hippie freak out. The New Chick is in the office now, the one who'll be taking over my job come October and she's loud and brash and inappropriate and impinging on my territory. I'm all knotted up and nervous. I kind of want everybody to just go away.

Thank goodness for the all the Firefly goodness I've been watching the past couple of days.

Hopefully all connections will be up and running again tomorrow. *crosses fingers and toes*

Hey all. *waves*

Am feeling distinctly anti-social as of late. Probably has something to do with losing my job. I've been "laid off". Good side: I have till October to find a new job. Bad side: I only have a job till October. Hence the whole 'want to curl up in a ball and ignore the rest of the world' mentality.

The weekend was spent sprawled over my chair, sweating, watching brainless tv. I saw cheesy made-for-tv movies on ABC Family and The 4400 and the Tonys. I want to go to NYC and catch David Hyde Pierce and Alan Tudyk and Tim Curry in Spamalot so badly. Then I want to hang out with them and Hugh Jackman and James Earl Jones and Joanna Gleason and Dan Fogler and then I want to go and find Casey and Zeke and join the Resistance. Yeap, that's all I ask of the universe, though, if it could just get me plane/theatre tickets and accomodations I'd happily settle for just seeing the musical.

Word Origin of the Day: Empathy - Although "empathy" is a natural human emotion, the term itself is relatively new, first popping up in the early part of the twentieth century. The German author T. Lipps coined the term Einfuhlung in 1903 to refer to this condition of human nature, which popularized the notion and prompted a separate coinage in English. It comes from the Greek word empatheia, literally translated as "feeling inside."
