[humdrum] Gibberish

[mmexlibris]

'Twas brillig and the slithy tove, did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
~ CS Lewis, Jabberwocky

I am full of gibberish of late, and it's not the highly polished kind that makes the literati sigh.

My sleep schedule is messed up.  Either I'm getting too much on the weekends, or too little during the week.  I can't seem to hold a coherent thought in my head for longer than it takes to order at Starbucks.  I'm wading through my days, wondering if they're going to renew my contract at work, and deeply unmotivated to either a) start looking for a new position or b) figure out a way to make them want to keep me here.  I have had enough of corporate bullshit shenanigans.  And office politics are so not my style.

Politics in general are not my style.  I cringe from drama.  It makes me miserable.  Physically miserable.  Which is probably why I'm not going to be the happiest squirrel in the forest for another month or so.

Aaaaand I need to wrap up Gothic Winter Tale.  I should post about that again.  Grr.  After I finish this stupid training.  (Yes, they haven't renewed my contract and they're assigning me training.  My life of wtf, let me show you it.)

Tell me something fun?  Rec a film or show?  Leave me prompts?  Something?  Anything?  Bueller?

I'm feeling the exact same way, re: sleep, job, blah. It's as if I've lost focus on whatever it is I'm supposed to be focusing on. Could blame this on the winter blues, but I don't actually hate the weather (yet).

Lost focus is part of it, but right now, it seems like I'm waiting for something. Without really knowing what that is. Frustrating.

In short, I need to go make art.

*hugs and leans on you*

I'm feeling the same kind of way, my throat hurts and I still have a paper to finish up and my discussion class is kind of boring.

I probably shouldn't link youtube when I'm in class, but Primeval is a really fun watch that vivien529 got me watching, dinosaurs and a good ensemble cast.

Have some pretty Gary Oldman.

~fans self~ That MAN, homg. Thank you for that!

That reminds me I need to pay for Vlad's account so I can add all those yummy icons that Saph found for me.

Ugh, I hope your throat feels better soon. ~sends tea~

I've seen Primeval, it's adorably cheezy. Office dino! I wants one!

[ceitfianna]

It really is, but its a fun sort of cheesy. British shows seem to be so good at crazy cheesy.

Yeah, I don't know why my throat's hurting but after class I'm going to get lunch and tea.

Edit because I forget words sometimes. I'm not really awake, can you tell?

~snugs~ It's okay, in my state, I didn't even notice. <3

Yeah and honestly this discussion class is useless, because I want to learn programming but her explanations don't help.

At least I have progress on my thing that's due tonight and only about twenty minutes of class left.

This (http://cleolinda.livejournal.com/847151.html) might help jumpstart you; it's a bunch of really interesting discussion of Dracula, sparked by Cleolinda's reading of Leslie Klinger's The New Annotated Dracula. Which I have a copy of and am hoping to read myself during break week after next, because I too need a bit of jumpstarting as far as Dracula pups go. I hate when they die five minutes after the app is approved. :P

* There's actually a really good theory that Dracula isn't the one who kills the crew of the Demeter--he doesn't have to kill in order to feed, and why would he want to put himself in danger by wrecking his own ship? The theory is that it is, rather, the superstitious, excitable Romanian first mate who realizes that there's a vampire on board and starts killing all the sailors "tainted" by Dracula before they could potentially turn into vampires themselves. In fact, Klinger notes that the captain's vision of "He--It!" "could have been... a genuine observation of a very nervous... Dracula, pacing the deck with worry that his transport was about to founder." Klinger also points out that the crew of the Czarina Catherine gets Dracula back to Transylvania without incident.

DAMN IT. THAT'S MY STORY RIGHT THERE.

~FLAILS~ STUPID DAY JOB.

Fabulous post, btw. Thank you thank you for linking.

Isn't it great? I stuck in my memories for future reference. There's some really interesting discussion in the comments that might come in handy.

~still reading~

Oh Van Helsing, you so funny.

[remindmeofthe.livejournal.com]

LOLcat Van Helsing! I love it.

Today one of my patients was a 30ish pound HYPER German Shepherd puppy who was more interested in playing than sitting still for vaccines.

And since it was slow and the owner was in a good mood...

We totally wrestled for a while.

Sometimes my job is kinda awesome.

(Also he gained 9lbs in the last three weeks he's gonna be a MONSTER pup)

HOMG GONNA GROW INTO THOSE PAWS...
