1. 7.08am. How am I ever going to get back on a normalish sleep pattern for work next week!?!? D:

2. I'm not sure the "things that make me happy" meme is supposed to be SO heavily fandom-related, but honestly. My fandoms make me happy. *indicates new default icon* Anyway, MANY things made me happy today...

3. Oh man, I AM OBSESSED. There is really NOTHING SADDER than discovering a new (old) song (彎彎的月亮) covered by Emil on youtube - and realising that one of the two versions available on Youtube is cut off at the beginning and the other at the END and THAT WOULD NOT DO. So I spent ages ripping the MP3s (including downloading the videos at one point because the MP3s were ripping WRONG), and then splicing them together. A number of times, because I kept saving the file wrong. YES. I AM THAT SAD. But the song is SO PRETTY. ♥

4. LOL, the alarm I set on my phone to wake me up on weekdays JUST went off. O_O

5. I should download stuff from Megaupload at this hour ALL THE TIME. For serious - usually it creeps along at something ridiculous like 10-15KB/sec; now it's downloading at over 250KB/sec. :P I just downloaded the newest episode of PD and another one of DH in 20 minutes!!

6. Speaking of DH: OMIGOD NEW SEASON )

7. And let's have a mini-picspam of photos that have made me happy this past 24 hours: cate & meryl & julia oh my! )

8. I was contemplating doing that time capsule meme that's making the rounds - and then decided that I really didn't need to be reminded of how little my life will probably have changed by this time next year, and that I would probably be to blame for that. Sigh.

9. BEDTIME OMIGOD. MUST TRY FOR YOGA AT 3PM. I MUST.

10. Translating Chinese song lyrics into English is just so... hilarious. Doesn't 'A Sailor On The Sea Of Love' sound remarkably, REMARKABLY DODGY? Yet, that's what I'm listening to now. And honestly, it's a gorgeous ballad. HONESTLY. *weeps*

1. I went to bed at 5am on Saturday morning and got up at 3pm. Maybe I'm starting to hit a slightly more normal sleeping pattern... Yeah, right.

2. Had a crack-tastic Julia!flail session with [info]weazel_luv - ah, Google alerts, how I love thee - before heading out for a birthday dinner celebration at my aunt's place. Ate way too much unhealthy food, and clearly STILL didn't sleep enough since I spent some of the party asleep in the armchair in front of the tv. WTF, I SWEAR I'm a narcoleptic of some sort. How else do I explain these random bouts of just falling asleep?!

3. Music meme, tagged by [info]athenaraven - all I listen to these days is Julia Murney, or showtunes, or Julia Murney, and occasionally some (shock!) Julia Murney, so clearly this is going to be a LITTLE bit biased in one direction. I've tried to include some other singers though. Like Skipley - pretty much the only singers who've managed to oust Julia from my CD player in recent weeks - and Jason Danieley, just because I can. :p Songs (all handily uploaded for crack-sharing!) and tags behind the cut (obviously).


4. To wit - does anyone on the flist have Emily Skinner's album? There's no human way it's going to be in the shops here, and I want to hear moooooore. As much as possible, lol.

5. Fandom collision! Julia does a voiceover on Stephen Colbert's Tak Jansen Adventures! RANDOM. I'm terrible at spotting her voice though - I want to say she's Grief Counsellor woman. Yes? No? Murney fans on my flist, please to be confirming if that's her?

6. Edited to add: I uploaded the Enchanted soundtrack for [info]book232. Anyone else who wants it, have at it! :)

reasons why [info]athenaraven rocks my socks!  
OMG. ILU, [info]athenaraven. In more ways than I can say. I was supposed to work on fic, LOL, but have instead spent the last hour more than happily scanning through pics of Kristin and Idina and Julia and ♥ ILU. THANK YOU, AGAIN.

I present a mini pic-spam, BECAUSE I CAN. MUCH CAPSLOCK TO FOLLOW.

cheno & dee & julia oh my! )

YOU WANT PROOF OF HOW TXF2 PROMO PICS HAVE MELTED MY BRAIN? CHECK OUT MY FAIL > HERE <.

BUT SERIOUSLY. HOUSE/CUDDY/MULDER/SCULLY OT4. YOU KNOW YOU ALL WANTS IT.

Tagged for a meme, in a manner of speaking, by [info]athenaraven:

The rules are easy, just post 10 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 10 people everyone (;D) and force them to post this meme on their LJs. Because it is good. Everyone needs a little happiness once in a while.

1. You guys. For serious. To all the folks, old and new, ILU! :)
2. The new XF promos. Dude. They couldn't be any hotter.
3. ALL ATTENDANT FLAILING: my concentration at work is shot to pieces and I no longer sleep, apparently. But I've never been happier.
4. A shiny new paid account and 100++ icons! *tackle hugs[info]alexia88 for our matchy indulgences*
5. JAY CHOU SONGS - no sign of video from our concert yet, but I found a short one of Jay playing the gu zheng for Fa Ru Xue from his US concert. WIN WIN WIN. I LOVE THAT INSTRUMENT. I LOVE JAY.
6. Idina Menzel's new album and all the live concerts I've been d/l-ing
7. Movies of win are going to be released over the next few weeks - like Juno, and SWEENEY TODD, and OMG, CJ7 with Stephen Chow LOL.
8. WICKED!
9. Getting wired back into AIM again. Anyone else on it? :)
And of course, 10: Just being a fangirl again. I've missed communal!flailing!

Sigh. There will be music pimpage a little later tonight - I owe people lots of stuff! And I'd rather stay home and flail, but I have tickets for a show and have to leave in, like, five minutes.

SPAM ME WHILE I'M AWAY, LOL. KEEP MY INBOX COMPANY.

I've never made LJ friends so quickly before, but whee, [info]my_vicodin for some proof, hee.)

11. What's something weird you enjoy that gets you odd looks from other people? Singing to myself. Seriously - I sing when I'm walking on the streets, sometimes when I'm out skating or running. I'm sure I look like a total spazz.

12. Your religious beliefs. None. Well, I'm an agnostic more than anything. But no organised religion, thanks very much.

13. Your favourite foods! JAPANESE. Sushi, sashimi, hand-rolls are all LOVE in my book.

14. Tell me the story behind your LJ username. I don't even remember how it came about - but I did use it for the XF fandom way way way back when, so when I was casting about for another nick for House flailage, I remembered it and here we are!

15. Your favourite moment in House. Moment? SINGULAR? *cries* I mean, I love so much of the smart stuff, like in Three Stories or No Reason, but well, if I had to CHOOSE: I think I'll have to go with the injection scene in Who's Your Daddy. MICROBES FTW. So. Much. Sex = LOVE.
