Eye exam tomorrow morning at nine-thirty. Grrrr. Definitely not looking forward to sporting my Tenth Doctor/Clark Kent specs or lacking my Edie Sedgwick-esque eye makeup. But I need an eye exam & more contacts quite badly, so sacrifices must be made, alas.

Damn, why don't I ever buy waterproof eye makeup? Waterproof eye makeup & defogger for my specs.

Screencapping continues to be a pain in my arse & there's a good chance that I'm just going to have to do it manually - screencapping is always nice, but doing it manually in VLC is such a drag - tedious, tiring & frustrating. But my caps just . . . vanish if I try to do it automatically, so if I want caps, I'll just have to do it all by hand. Ah, well. I've got some pretty subject matter to work with, so maybe it'll be less of a chore! It'll just take longer to get it all done.

& in less wah-wah-wah, I went skipping off to fanmix in search of Zod/Tess mixes & whilst I came up empty-handed (booo!) for them, I found - & yes, I'm shocked that I'm even going with this; but crack is fun - a really nice Zod/Lois mix! (Again, my shock is almost immeasurable, but Pandora is wicked shippy if you liked those two. & the phone fakeouts & Salvation up until the phonebooth scene are also pretty shippy. I'd . . . read it? & okay, maybe ship it. But I'm too busy scheming on how to promote moar Zod/Tess to think of them.)

I also forced myself to sit through watched Superman II last weekend. It was . . . well, not my thing, but it was nice. & I thought the fortress of solitude looked really Gallifreyan in design, which amused me during all the dull bits, i.e., the non-Zod or Clark bits.

& you know, the weirdest thing? I came out slightly hearteyes for Clark Kent. But then again, I've never been overly fond of Superman - he bores me, actually, & I was a Batman girl as a child. But Clark? Awww! He gets me right in my heart because of that sweet awkwardness he has. I like cutely awkward sorts!

Hmm. I remember once talking with nentari about how Sarah Jane Smith, in her early serials with Three, was very Lois Lane-esque herself, even in her wardrobe & overall look. I definitely saw that in the film & I sort of see it in Smallville!Lois too, even though I don't think she & Sarah are as much alike there. I think Smalliville!Lois is maybe a bit more Martha Jones-esque (especially in Pandora!) than Sarah-esque, but they're still a fair bit alike. But, hey, I loved Martha too, so it's a win-win situation all around.

& I'm pretty sure all of that preamble was just so I could mention how the Genesis song Me and Sarah Jane made me think of Clark & Lois without everyone thinking I'd lost my mind. (well, it sort of does! I think you just have to use your imagination to make it fit a bit.)

I went back to using my Twitter today at wordsindreams' enabling suggestion, since she's using hers more lately. I'm riverdresses there as well, should you want to follow me! (I update way too much there; you've been warned)

Hmm. Sort of want to practise my eye makeup now in lieu of of being able to wear any tomorrow - I know some of it will stay on & make it look like I have some on, so I'd have more of a Nico-esque, rather than Edie-esque look.

Also, LJ fucked around with the tags again, & made it so that any tag with a slash is basically a broken link, so I have to start reorganising my tags soon. GAH, WHAT THE FUCK WAS WRONG WITH THE OLD SYSTEM, REALLY.

Edit: AAAAH OMG, THE MAKER OF SAID MIX MADE A BUNCH OF BEAUTIFUL ZOD & ZOD/LOIS ICONS FUCK YES! ::DANCES:: (It's been a bitch to find good, gorgeous, awesome Zod-centric icons. I DO NOT APPROVE. ::hisses:: brb, swiping & uploading all of them.)

Edit II: I forgot to add above, that after a little thinkythink (& seeing the Zod/Lois icons I flailed about above), I've come to the conclusion that Zod/Lois = Simm!Master/Martha, but somehow, not as squick-inducing for me. (I can read Simm!Master/Martha, but it kind of makes me uncomfortable & I've never figured out why.) Zod/Lois, on the other hand is just hot & twisted, & not like Zod/Tess - that's just evil & hot. So I could feasibly enjoy them more than I ever could Simm!Master/Martha. Go figure.

I loved it! You did a lovely job in summing everything of concisely & interestingly & you gave a good little snapshot of each character, especially Mason, I think. (but you know me! :P) I can't wait to find out if they read it, doll!

(& OMG, I want to go hug Mason & say I'm sorry for having temporarily abandoned him for a Kandorian with arms like OMGWHOA. ::runs to him all wibbly with love::)

I'm so glad you liked it! I trimmed a few bits, but the version I e-mailed them is almost unchanged. I included the bit about other reapers because, with Danielle being Squirrel Girl (and there being a recurring joke about squirrels in the podcast) hopefully it will be a good point for them to crack a joke; on the same note, my mentioning of the post-its (as you must have surmised from my comment) was included for Lillibet and regular feedbacker Peggy, who love them. This podcast is released every two weeks, so we'll only learn if they're going to read it by Halloween - or more likely on the next day which, since it's a public holiday here (All Saints' Day) will give me the chance to listen to it in the comfort of my home. I'll let you know then. I'll also be sure to inform you if the other folks at the Flashing Blade read my description of watching Androids of Tara with the twins, of course.

(I'm sure he'll understand but will still appreciate the hug.)

It was lovely, bunny, it really was. & it made me so happy to see you writing about it!! ::bounces excitedly:: (& WHAT POST-IT JOKES?)

YAAAAAAAAAAY! I can't wait! ::tickles::

(::snuggles him and gives him pretty bottles of gin:: I hope he does!)

*blushes* (No jokes, really - Lillibet always writes her notes for the podcast's discussions on post-its and their colour changes each time, and Peggy being just as much of a fan of the stuff is always asking what colour they are. So, I felt they'd enjoy it if I mentioned Rube's post-its.)

(Now that you've added gin to it, there's no doubt he will.)

::big snuggles of joy:: (Post-Its are AWESOME! I'm glad to see other people appreciating them! ^_^ Post-Its are badass.)

(::feeds him strawberries and gin while lying in his lap:: YAY!)
