Having not had dinner, I went downstairs a little before midnight just now to grab a Slimfast, and I realized that I had been at the computer working nonstop since 9 am. So, basically, about fifteen hours. Damn.

I still feel terribly guilty about going ahead and doing the Phantom 15M, but I was going to feel guilty anyway, I guess--guilty for doing it and guilty for not doing it, since I had promised. So I made myself work on the AOTC 15M for the book, both yesterday and today, before I could work on Phantom, and then just got down to work and tried to get it out of the way and just feel guilty and be done with it. And it was a lot of fun, and probably the easiest "Fifteen Minutes" since Troy, or maybe even Van Helsing.

(And now I really want to go back and see the movie again, because this time I'll actually be able to enjoy it for its cheesy, swoony pleasures, and not cackle hysterically through the whole thing.)

And then I realized that I have class tomorrow, and with it, my first reading assignment. I'm so used to having T/TH classes that it feels weird to have to have things done on a Monday. Also, I was looking over the reading and thinking that it was less than the Milton readings, on average, until I realized that it was three reading assignments a week instead of two. Oh. Yeah. Not less.

Dammit, I totally forgot about Carnivàle coming on tonight. Given the overdueness of the book, I think I may have to scrap plans to recap that anyway--I may have to stop doing Veronica Mars as well. For some reason, I enjoy Veronica more when I don't have to recap it, and I enjoy Lost more when I do. I don't know. But I have a feeling that I need to stop finding things to stuff into my schedule.

Drop whatever it takes — your schoolwork and manuscript and all come way before we do.

Of course, it's easy for me to say, 'cause I don't read the Veronica Mars recaps because I always seem to miss actually watching VM. ;)

snap question

[faithhopetricks.livejournal.com]

The Phantom m15m was great! I'm glad you had fun doing it. I had one quetsion though -- what does "snap" mean? i.e. "RAOUL: OH SNAP." I'm just old.

It's basically the Jerry Springer equivalent of "Oh no you didn't." Usually. Sometimes it's something else, like positive approval. Usually it's the acknowlegement of an insult or burn or something.

Re: snap question

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah--"ooo, burn" was the phrase I started fishing around for. You always explain things so much better than I do. : )

Aw, thanks. :D

[yuki-onna.livejournal.com]

Any idea where I can download that ep? of Carnivale, I mean.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Are you a user of BitTorrent?

[yuki-onna.livejournal.com]

I am indeed, I just can't find anywhere hosting seeds.

And if the direct link doesn't work, http://www.torrents.co.uk/

[yuki-onna.livejournal.com]

Score! Thanks!

Crud I missed Carnivále?!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, it is HBO, and there's like eight channels of it, and unlike network channels, they'll actually rerun it during the week. It's not as dire as if we'd missed a network show. (Maybe it reruns on Tuesday and Saturday? I can't remember.)

[batwrangler.livejournal.com]

It looks like, depending where you are, it's rebroadcasting all week. Ask http://www.hbo.com/carnivale/ it for the full schedule, sort by date, and wade through the December stuff to get to this week's encore schedule.

[mustang-bex1126.livejournal.com]

Hooray for that... cause I ~facepalm~ totally rememberd to record MI:5 (SO awesome show from the BBC) but forgot Carnivale'... D'oh...

AOTC - Shit, can't for the life of me figure out what this is. It is 2 am, after all.

[koritsimou.livejournal.com]

Attack of the Clones.....never mind. *headdesk*

[judas-river.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It's 5:30 am here, so I needed that ;)

I get that feeling sometimes too. I suppose I really should pay attention to it ;D

You have to take care of #1 because no one else is going to. At least that's my philosophy.

I think I can speak for everyone here when I say NO ONE is going to love you any less if you have to let a few things slide in order to keep what's left of your sanity intact. You do what you have to do girl. We'll all still hang on your every word like always.

Eh, you shouldn't beat yourself about the Phantom 15M. It's not like you took forever with it (doesn't sound that way, at least) and besides, you shouldn't work nonstop on the book. You'll wind up insane.

T/TH classes are better than M/W. You've got that extra day once the weekend's over to catch up on shit, so that if you spend the weekend with friends, or doing absolutely nothing at all, you're not screwed.

Probably you enjoy LOST more when you do b/c it is more intense and serious. And therefore more fun to make fun of sometimes ;)

Sweetie, I don't know how you find enough time to do the things you already do. Please box up some of your energy and send it to me. I could use it.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

No! I have none to spare! I sleep too much and I procrastinate even more! I could rule the world if I would actually get off my ass once in a while!
