Catching up with grammarwoman...

[grammarwoman]

Catching up with my flist after a weekend is a fun, but long, task, especially with all the recent additions of "gosh, I love your writing" people. (That is, people whose writing I love, not the other way around.) So yeah, that's done, and I thought I'd braindump the random bits I've collected for the past week or so.


I've been working on my eating habits and actually trying to pin down why I put things in my mouth. It's a little maddening that I haven't done this long past, because all too often the answer is not "Because I'm hungry", but instead "I'm bored" or "I need a treat" or "I want to be chewing on something" (oral fixation, yep) or "I want to be tasting something sweet" (...you all have dirty minds.) Between that and being slightly busier at work, I'm managed to cut way back on the snacking. Now to conquer that deadly period between arriving home and dinner.

While I continue to love and adore my DVR and kick myself for not having gotten it long past, it does have one huge drawback -- I find myself obligated to watch the things I've set to record. I'm almost completely unable to just delete things without viewing them. So instead of going outside for a walk or working on the job hunt or any number of other useful things, I find myself plopped down in front of the TV. Again. Some more. At least with most shows having finished their seasonal runs, the unwatched stuff isn't piling up as fast. Now I just have to be stern with myself that Useful Things must be happening at the same time as TV watching.

Because vidding is a scary hobby that I'm afraid to get into, I want someone to make me a BSG relationshippy vid set to Cake's "Love You Madly" and use the scenes of Apollo's hallucinations about sliding under the surface of the water. That way, the idea will stop haunting my brain.

For samwize, a bumpersticker that I saw recently that I thought you'd appreciate: "Don't pray in my school and I won't think in your church".

The Emperor has been on a movie kick again, burning through a lot of Pixar offerings. I think "Toy Story 2" may be better for wee kids than "Toy Story" -- the latter has some weird/scary parts with the toys' revenge against Sid, as well as a lot of toy violence. I'm probably a bad mommy, anyway, for letting him watch them.

Is Aaron Douglas, AKA Chief Tyrol from BSG, married? I just read an interview with him from a year ago where he mentioned his wife, but a while back I heard a podcast where he’s soliciting BJs in his hotel room, so...Yeah. My brain wonders in mysterious ways.

Hi, my name is grammarwoman, and I love porny fanfic. And porny RPF. Because my brain was broken in my youth by softcore cable offerings and bodice-rippers, and I was writing pornfic in my head (starring me and various others, natch) before I had even heard the terms "fanfic" or "Mary Sue". What has this to do with anything? Um...got any links you want to share? *grin*

Watch TV while on the treadmill? That is what I do. :D And I still have 5 hours of Law & Order: SVU, 5 hours of Desperate Housewives and 5 hours of Brothers & Sisters recorded and waiting. We just don't have time to watch TV these days when the baby wants to go, go, go.
