In grad school, no one can hear you scream.

It's the first week of class and I should not be so stressed.

~ Oh my God the reading! I should buy stock in eye drops!
~ Oh my God the papers! Imma have to kill a tree with all the papers I have to write.
~ Oh my God the money! Loans barely cover rent, not food/phone/other. I can only substitute Tu/Thur and even then there's a two month wait for a paycheck.

But you know what we're gonna do? We're going to fight. Like men. In tights. I love you. *hugs*

. . .

Annnnnnnnnnnnd, I'm back.

Bummer about SGA. I only realized reading other peoples' links that they hated S4. I thought that was the strongest season since S1. I don't even remember S3 at all. I am skeptical about the movie, especially written by JoeM. I bet David Hewlett is just going to go crazy with new projects, and that's kinda exciting.


Link soup:

spn_summerlove started posting two stories a day. Head over and get your het on.
sg_flyboys a John/Cameron thingathon is gearing up for round 2.
abandonedplaces full of . . . abandoned places. Neat pics.
start_writing resources for writers
lilithsaintcrow author and very interesting. (Check out the villains link!)

Your turn! Link me to somewhere/someone cool, please?

(If you haven't seen it before): This (http://www.opacity.us/) is an awesome site if you're interested in urban decay and abandoned places. The photography is amazing and there's lots of it to go through, with a lot of variety in the locales and style. It's really inspiring.

I'm not really a fan of Lilith Saintcrow's books, but I think she's interesting.

This (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation) is also fabulous if you're into videogames. Even if you're not, it's still funny.

Okay, opacity is cool and I could spend an hour I don't have checking out all that awesome. That is definitely going into my favorites. I just ran across that LJ site, and I didn't think about looking for more.

I have one of Saintcrow's books, and I think I got through chapter two before I got distracted by an old favorite instead. I really like her journal though, she blogs about a lot of neat stuff - writerly and non.

I wish I had the time, money, and platforms to play more games! But if hell freezes over and I get the chance, I'll definitely check out that site. : )

Thanks for the links!

Yeah, I didn't realise people disliked S4 either. I thought it was great in the end, though how much of that was my low expectations to start with, I don't know. But there were some great episodes in that bunch.

Something great, hmmmm. Pretty artwork by Tim Marrs (http://timmarrs.co.uk/). And recently I've been reading Nick Hornby's blog (http://nickhornby.campaignserver.co.uk/).

And Hello (http://www.myspace.com/blackbunnymusic) by Black Bunny is really cool, imo.

I fell out of the fandom a little bit too last year, so I didn't realize all the hate was still on. I was never a fan of Weir or the actress, so I enjoyed Carter taking over. This year, I was just looking forward to Robert Picardo and he hasn't disappointed yet.

That is some pretty art! And I really liked Hello, I'll have to check the rest of their page out when I go to campus for reliable internet tomorrow. Thanks!

I'm glad you liked it. Lead singer Brandon Wilde's solo work is good too.

I have no coherent comment because: RAMSES. My sister and I crack on that movie all the time (with love, with love). Ramses is a stone cold bitch.

[chase-acow.livejournal.com]

Totally with love! : ) I don't get to use that icon enough cuz he just has the most awesome bitch faces. The icon maker had a whole post of them, and it was hard not to steal them all.

[skipmcgee.livejournal.com]

Ramses totally had the best lines too - "You know, your mother made that coat for you. Right before SHE DIED." HAH.

Dude there are more?? Any chance you remember where? I'm totally gunning to satisfy my Ten Commandments icon needs.

Good luck with grad school. What program are you in and what is your area of study?

[chase-acow.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I started FEMP (Fire and Emergency Management Program) last January, and I've finally got some classes with emergency management content. So, I'm busy, but happy. I was getting tired of program evaluation and personnel management.

I'm only of the only females in the program and most of the guys are more into fire services so it's fun. Hot firefighters, with no pun intended. : )

[rhianona]

ooo that sounds like a lot of fun! also sounds like you have at the least, some inspiration!

And I haven't forgotten your b-day fic. I just have a couple of fics that I'm way behind on getting done that I need to do, even though I've half-written yours.

*gulps* Why do I have a feeling this is gonna be me in 6 weeks? *re-thinks decision to go to grad school*

[chase-acow.livejournal.com]

I think the good is going to totally outweigh the bad, so don't rethink just yet! : )
