(o, this uncertainty is taking me over)

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.

(& yes, I deleted one comment because I replied to the whole thing OOPS. D:)

Did I tell you that I read Fire and Hemlock? I did, & now I have an ebook of it - it was okay, I did like it, but I was left slightly, girlishly, unsatisfied by the ending.
Also, I liked the story of Harry Potter once, but even my friends who liked it agreed that the writing was le suck.

& you have (o,you! :P), & EEEE! Of course they'd like you, & not just because of that - it's because you're so awesome! :D ::tickles:: Awwwwwwwwww. & I'm so glad that you DID share it with me & YAAAAAAAAAY, SO HAPPY TO RETURN TO YOU, MORE OR LESS! ::huge meows & snuggles:: I KNOOOOW, RIGHT? :D :D

I never read Fire and Hemlock myself, so I cannot say anything about it. The books I mentioned in my feedback are rather good, though, as is the Howl series - though I have to confess I only watched the animated version of the first book and read the third. That one stars a red-haired, bespectacled bookworm, though, so I have to love it. :P
As for Harry Potter, I really like Rowling's writing, as she's quite good at descriptions and character development. It's the movies that annoy me.

Subtlety is my middle name. *pauses* No, wait, that's Isabel. :P Aw, chucks. *blushes* SO HAPPY YOU'VE RETURNED, EVEN IF ONLY MORE OR LESS! YAYYY!

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

I've not read anything of hers beyond Fire and Hemlock, & I don't think I knew she'd written Howl's Moving Castle. Bad me! ^__^
& as for Harry Potter, you know I hate it, so I'll be el silencio. ::nods like a monk::

O, RLY? :P ::huggles you:: & I AM TOOOOOOOOO! ::DANCES ALL OVER YOUR ROOM::

[nentari.livejournal.com]

It's one of her most famous books, you know. That said, I haven't read it either (only watched the anime version) but I read the second sequel, which stars a red-haired bespectacled bookworm - needless to say, I identified with her. :P
I'm involved in Harry Potter RPGs, you know. Usually playing hot guys.

Yep, it's definitely Isabel. :P *DANCES WITH YOU*

I have to say I was only able to show the girls the first half of Genesis of the Daleks, as they got these very bad report cards and have been grounded ever since. As a result, I haven't updated the Flashing Blade gang on our watching sessions yet - and it might be a while until I manage to do so anyway, since Tony is suffering from exhaustion and is going to take a short break from podcasting.

I iz laaaaaamesauce. :( Heee, it's expected! :D
Well . . . I still hate it. :|

IS THIS A GOOD THING THEN? ::PARTIES::

Awww, that's sucky. on both counts. I hope Tony will be okay!

This fortnight's edition of Professor Dave's podcast is out! Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to send them my feedback regarding their topic (Die Hard), but they read an e-mail for me! Basically, Rhys (a 15-year-old kid who is their #1 feedbacker) wanted to thank me for reminding him how awesome Diana Wynne Jones is, as listening to my feedback in the previous e-mail made him go back to those books. Lillibet commented on how awesome it is that the listeners are now sending feedback to each other, which made me both beam and giggle.

You iz nooooot! Isn't it just?
Don't worry, I still love you. ♥ (My hot Harry Potter boys, if you want to see them, can be found here - that's my InsaneJournal, where I post the RPG-related stuffz. And you might notice that one of the boys has a veeeeery interesting name...)

IT MEANS THAT, IF I REMOVE MY MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME FROM MY OWN, MY INITIALS SPELL P-I-E. :D *TWINKLE TOES*

I'm sure he will - he just needs a little holiday, that's all.
