All right. It looks like the ayes have it and we'll be doing a crossover challenge. WOOHOO! It also looks like most people would prefer something that's more TV based than not. Now I just have to decide what would be more likely to get a lot of people participating, something extremely broad or rather narrow. I'm leaning towards the broad end of the spectrum, but let me know what you think.

My computer decided to be weird and suddenly it renamed my external hard drive from F: to G:. Now, this wouldn't be a bad thing except all of my music is on there and now none of my programs know where anything is. If anyone knows some sort of trick that will either 1) give the external drive back its nomenclature or 2) fix the bad iTunes locations in one fell swoop please, please, please let me know. I will sing your praises to the heavens.

I've started to notice a bit of fannish drift on my f-list. Which isn't a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination. New interests are always wonderful things and anything that inspires the creative juices is always tops in my book. It's just kind of funny because while other people find their fannish world extending I find mine narrowing. There are all of these new shows out there and I can't seem to find any ganas to sit down and watch any of them on a regular basis. I used to watch so much TV and now I watch hardly any at all.

It's a funny old world, it is.

Brrr, it's cold outside. That reminds me of when I was living in So. Texas there was a family who was coming up to MI so that their little son could have surgery over at Mott's Children's Hospital. Before they left they asked me what June in MI would be like and I think I told them it would be warm and generally pleasant. When they got back to TX they remonstrated me over the warm comment because when they were up here it was chilly and raining. It was a language problem, of course, because "cold" in TX doesn't mean the same as "cold" in a place where 8 degrees over freezing can seem like a tropical heat wave.

And that was a bit of random nostalgia brought to you by our sponsors. =D

ETA: Wow, right when I was going to post this LJ went all wonky. Plz to not be doing that too much more often.

Been feeling very talkative this week. Sorry for all the spamming.

Ate at a chinese buffet for lunch. They had broccoli in their stir-fry. This reminded me that broccoli is not chinese, it's italian.

I was also reminded of a chinese buffet I ate at in So. Texas. It was in a town called Weslaco and was the only chinese place I'd found in over a year. I was introduced to it by a nice couple of the Winter Texan variety (older people who spent their winters where it was warm but left before it became too warm). Ate there a whole lot as that was around the time I became ill and couldn't do much beyond sitting and eating. The food was good and they had all sorts of random desserts, including a freezer filled with ice cream that you could scoop into your own bowl.

I miss South Texas sometimes. Especially on days like this, cold and grey and snowing (just a little). It was a good time of my life, difficult and rewarding.

Had a dream the other night about the end of the world. Nothing much happened, the Mum watched tv and I decided to make pancakes. Then there was artillery sounds from down the hill (somehow my parents' house was on top of a big hill) and I told the Wrestler to go load the guns (my grandpa's old .22s). Then there was a whole bit where I demanded to be taught how to shoot but a small town sheriff came out and told me I couldn't shoot those weapons on a residential street and I was all 'It's the end of the world and my brother is going to teach me how to shoot a gun, damnit!'

Oy, I miss the Wrestler too, all far away down in Chile. I'm looking forward to him coming home so that he, the Big Lug and I can finalize our plans for taking over the world.

Am utilizing my old default icon because it's appropriate. That's a picture of the Da, the Big Lug and I fishing in the boat my grandfather made. Wow, that picture is probably 20 years old by now.
