State of the Liz

[sisabet]

This is the first moment I have had today to even get online, much less check LJ. Oh -yeah, and there is to be much less with the checking of LJ which sucks cause I want to read con reports and every day that goes by where I don't do a con report is a day that is going by where I don't do a con report.

I clobbered myself with the coat hook on the back of a stall door in the bathroom just now. It was kinda bad and for a second there I was worried about getting a black eye and how would I explain it? Cause who would believe that I gave myself a black eye trying to open a jammed stall in the women's restroom? And then I realized that every single person who has ever met me, or spent any time with me, or even if they just observed me walking across a room -- none of these people will find this story hard to believe at all.

I was supposed to babysit tonight and I was concerned because the child is actually a real, live baby. Now, normally I babysit Darling Ally and that is cool. She will be six next week and we can hang and watch movies and read Batgirl comics and play Superhero Barbies and all is well. But, I just don't know what I have in common with a five month old. Sure - I like feet and he just discovered he has feet. Cool. But I just don't think that will fill four hours of conversation. Maybe I am wrong?

Anyway - my services are not needed so maybe I should just use that time to work on a con report? Or watch Dr. Who again? Cause, even with Captain Jack being so incredibly wonderful and truly God's Greatest Gift to Slashers, I am *all* about Doctor/Rose. So there. So really, really really there. OMG. I am there. ROSE!!!!

::takes a minute::

I'm still trying to get my Premiere vid uploaded and my LKBVs on the site. just_eunice is not only a patient roommate - she is a SAINT for walking me through all of this.

Hi. I love you. I am sorry about your coathook incident and etc. I miss you. I am so glad you have Doctor/Rose and the wonderful Captain Jack. (I have no clue, but he is clearly Very Special.) In news of me, I am turning into a really scary CKR fangirl, but I swear it's not my fault. I think I have a virus.

Captain Jack *is* very special and I have no doubt that you are falling into a deep and everchanging CKR-virus state. If it includes an unexplainable desire to suddenly SEE Hard Core Logo right this instant even though you have known about HCL for years and years and not felt this way... I think I also have it. Or I just hung out with Zen too much. No way. One *cannot* hang out with Zen enough. Must be the virus.

Exactly right. It included singing "Monster" to myself intermittently Tuesday evening at work and then downloading Zen's LKBV when I got home and positively *mooning about* to "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" all Wednesday afternoon at work before realizing that WE HAD THE DVD AT WORK and checking it out immediately. Yesterday I needed some happy and decided I needed to watch him as Sandra Oh's love interest in Double Happiness, which I hooked up my VCR and did (having also snagged it from the shelf the day before). He's v. young and adorably goofy and occasionally charming but he's not in it enough for it to be a love story (it's a family story), so I had to move right on the the *true* love story, which is HCL. Which, yeah, I've known about for at least two years (since "Monster" premiered at VVC?) with no desire whatsoever to see it. He is the Hottest Thing Ever in that movie and I sympathize entirely with Joe Dick for being in love with his character and they are SO all about each other why can't Joe just please please please get what he wants??? I brought the DVD back today, but I just checked it out again because I think I need to rip it to my computer just in case I need a fix before I purchase my own copy. OMGTHEY'RELOVEISSOFUCKEDUPANDBEAUTIFUL! I also have a couple other CKR films for the weekend. Because better safe than sorry.

Fuck! What is the matter with me? This is so evil no it isn't, I love it. Oh, except that I was reading HCL/DS crossover fic last night. Now that truly was evil, except that the very wrongness of it was what lent any punch to an otherwise fairly bland, if, yeah, okay, kinda heartwarming, story. What will this virus mutate into next? Anyway, I think Zen is some sort of Typhoid Mary, for sure, but it only makes me want to hang out with her more. I think I get to see her tonight!

I sure wish I could be in the same room with you and sisabet the first time you see Hard Core Logo. That would really be something. (:

That's it. I'm watching Ep1 of Dr. Who tonight. I blame you. And morgandawn. And wolfling. But also you.

Okay, it must be Mercury in retrograde again. I have a brand-new, eight-inch-long, purple (gorgeous) bruise, from my knee down to mid-shin. I have NO IDEA...

I watched Aliens of London through Dalek again last night. Just pacing myself for Jack. But yeah. It's *totally* Dr./Rose, isn't it? Sigh.

I've also been obsessively watching Street Cafe on the VVC DVDs. Oh. My. God. I've been mentally composing a gushing fangirl email to Jill, Kay and Kathi. And I thought their LA Confidential vid was good. It pales in comparison (and *only* in comparison).

Sure - I like feet and he just discovered he has feet. Cool. But I just don't think that will fill four hours of conversation. Maybe I am wrong?

Well, the "I like feet"/"Hey, look! Feet!" interaction only takes about five minutes, including piggy-wiggling, but the great thing about five month olds is that they're not so big with the short term memory, so five minutes after that, you can do the whole thing over again, and it will be just as much fun as the first time. Well, for him, anyway.
