bedlamsbard: natasha romanoff from the black widow prelude comic (dreams of freedom (girlyb_icons))
The Plague (a.k.a. The Common Cold) has decided to make its presence definitively known as of, oh, last night. Hate you, Plague! Will be going to get Dayquil/Nyquil later today, though I'm never actually convinced that it works that well. Until then, well, at least I have a lot of Kleenex.

Need to go back through my browsing history for the past week and put together a list of all the BSG vids I watched, to keep from losing them all. -- even though I'm still using Delicious, I now don't want to add anything to it because I love the recently bookmarked Delicious toolbar a lot, and if I add new stuff, then the stuff that's already there will go away. I wish there was a way to customize that toolbar aside from "recently bookmarked" or "most visited", and wow, I just realized there is, so I'll do that later today. (As you can see, I am totally on top of stuff today.)

Other things to do later today, aside from thesis stuff and a giant chunk of Greek because my Greek professor hates us (she probably doesn't, she brought us Laffy Taffy last week): cut up this mango, make biscuits, e-mail my first and third readers (stopped into my second reader's office after class today). Ugh, school, hate you. Go to library and print MacKay article and scarf pattern. Make dinner; eat. Read more of the Meyerson book.

...actually, since this post is still open, will make vid list now.

Why, yes, I did write this post over the course of many hours in between classes and homework. (Also, yes, I've seen [livejournal.com profile] dualbunny's BSG vids, I just have them on the external hard drive and I don't want to dig the links up when I...already have them.) And now, to do school-related things.

...also I think I may have run into a pile of vids/commentary that does not match up with my own viewing of the show, woe. I think it is a very good thing that I was not actually watching this show while it was on the air, because I suspect I would have either hated the show or hated the fandom or both. I'm also actually pretty glad I took that year, year and a half long break between the front third of S4 and the back two-thirds, and that when I went back into it, I watched (nearly) the entire run of the show from the miniseries to Daybreak, because I don't think I would have handled it that well the first time. Going back through it meant that while I was invested in the characters, I wasn't going to be shocked and spoiled and personally aggrieved by their choices. Also, I'm older and more mature, or something. (I am a whole TWENTY-ONE YEARS OLD. The last time I watched this I was NINETEEN. That extra two years? Clearly a great improvement. By the time I am twenty-five I expect to be zen and calm, or something like that.)

I am intrigued by magic loop and am interested in trying it, because I have sock patterns that are deliberately designed to be near impossible to knit on DPNs, but (1) it looks like such a hassle and (2) I'd have to buy new needles, since I don't have any needles with a 32" to 40" cord, let alone US1s (my preferred sock needle). (Actually, I think I might have a US8 with a 40" cord, but the only yarn I have is sock yarn.)

/random knitting thought

Not that I have knitted anything in a few days, mind. I am bored by my current project and am probably going to rip and find something more interesting for my mother's Christmas present. (In case you were wondering how far behind I was on the Christmas knitting: just a little.)
