March Madness = Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

March madness is upon us. At work we can wear sweatshirts or T-Shirts today of our favorite NCAA team in the tournament*. It was diplomatically stated in an email - "favorite" team, but this place is a sea of blue, so you kinda know that favorite means UK.

I don't happen to have any UK sweatshirts that I can find - although I did want to wear a sweatshirt today. I mentioned yesterday that I could dig up my LSU stuff and I was greeted with shocked stares and one of the PIP reps pulling me aside and telling me quietly that I probably should not do that. I don't get it - I mean, it isn't like I said I was going to wear a Duke** t-shirt or anything.

So everywhere I look, there are people in royal blue. I've already had two people congratulate me on trying to support the team today - I am also dressed in blue. Inadvertantly, I really didn't think about the color of my sweater this morning - I just like blue. My blue is not quite UK blue, it is more of a cerulean ;) Cerulean blue is like a gentle breeze... and I have bonibaru to thank for putting that phrase in my head, but to be fair, "Pusher" is never really out of my mind. It just kinda hangs around in the corners, pokes it head up occasionally when I need to channel Scully's "You Bastard!" and then goes back to the shadows.

People are in a great mood today - this time of year is like Christmas for so many people. They even brought in Krispy Kreme for us this morning. I'm down with anything that keeps me in fresh doughnuts. Go team! Yay.

*if you are outside the U.S., I don't know if this makes any sense to you. I'm referring to what is basically the National College Basketball tournament - if you live in a town that does not have a pro-sports program, college sports can potentially become very important. In a nice normal town, that is. Lexington is not normal. Hell, this state is not normal. College basketball is extrememly important, even if you don't follow sports, you know what is going on in the SEC at the very least and this freaking town shuts down during University of Kentucky games.

** Okay, it's been ten years, over ten years, and we still hate Duke. Normally, I could care less about this whole UK thing and hell, I probably like University of Louisville more at this point (and I have to be very careful who I say that to at work) but even I can't stand Duke. It's a thing

cesperanza makes me think. This would be really cool, except I am lazy and like to not think.

I'm sorry for the spammage of late, but I am both bored with my work and am lacking focus to complete any of the work, because it is boring - so we get this - I am becoming a habitual poster without anything to show for it but extra posts.

I am going to make thebratqueen's baked oatmeal this weekend because I can.

Everyone wants to vid right now. So how come none of us are? Maybe I should make a poll instead of just issuing a blanket statement like that. Perhaps there are a lot of people currently happily vidding and maybe there are a bunch of people just as happily not vidding, but none of those people are me. So, never-mind about the poll, cause this is all about me. And I want to vid. Maybe. Probably. I feel like I should be vidding. I think.

Eh, what do I know? I can't even settle on an idea. At this point there is a new vid in my head everytime I get into my car. I actually had to take all of the CDs I had in my car away and I only have 2 now, since the purpose of the car music is just to get me from work to home without blowing a gasket along the way. I went from not having enough ideas, to not having the right ideas, to having an idea and no song to now I am having so many ideas to so many songs that I should probably write some of this down, actually...

I also should make note of the VVC auction since now I am having vid ideas for fandoms I don't even watch. Which would be weird, but sdwolfpup is having vid ideas for Angel seasons she hasn't watched so I think there is a level of LJ osmosis. The ole, "Yes, I may never have actively seen your show, but guess what - I have the perfect song, concept and I know exactly what it should look like as well" factor. Which would be cool, except I have enough fandoms currently, thank you very much and I see no reason to watch this show, so then if I wanted my vid to exist - theoretically I could buy a vidders services from that fandom and describe what I see in my head - how the song relates to the POV and the protagonist and what to here and at this part and so on.

Except that is hard. I can't explain my vids very well, or it is hard for me to phrase my ideas so that they are accessible or even sound like good ideas. Lum gets them, but we share a brain. Also - she doesn't vid in this fandom. Dammit. Actually, I really don't know anyone that does.

So - tonight - I am deciding on something and going with it. Also - if the thing I decide on is not the Cordy funeral vid - then I need to think seriously about dumping that complete project cause, dude - it is wrecking me. I would have done all this last night but Sid-The-Dog-Faced-Boy was having an existential crisis and required my constant attention and physical presence on the couch. Apparently if you are a Beagle-Mix, existential crises can be solved by intense napping while watching A&E.

Related question: This "With Malice" show - is it the British CSI? Also - I think Sid may need glasses. He can smell the bunnies but not see them and they are right there. I can see them and he can't - this is just wrong. The rabbits are starting to laugh and point. Which pisses me off. Damn rabbits, making fun of my dog...
