We started talking about MACs today at work, because Coworker B is huge mac fanatic, and coworker N is as well, but didn't know about coworker B. The latter has been trying to get me to buy a mac for my next computer for months. Except I have enough PC only compatible things that I am resistent...ideally I want to be wealthy enough to have it all. Please to arrange. Anyway, we were talking about the G5. liquid cooling. That phrase kinda makes me hot. Wee.

I had the perfect start to my day today. Brownie, coffee and that gorgeous Anne Rice wank that anniesj linked to this morning/last night. Rice now has the status of being the wankiest person ever and it makes me gleeful. Anybody who can say with a straight face that if you don't like what she's written you're obviously not reading it, you're projecting your own issues...Hee! It's so beautiful. It was the absolute perfect way to start my morning and I hadn't even scratched the surface before i had to get ready for work.

And as I drove in to work, I was kind of drowsy in a contented, cat-like way. But then I got in and answered danawoods post about - what people will be watching this season. Which was, naturally, a total excuse to talk about ME and MY opinions and...well, hey, that's always something I love. Even if I don't think I said anything I hadn't said in my or other people's LJs recently, but sometimes I like to talk to hear myself talk. Write to read myself...writing?

Anyway, that made me peppy. Wee!

Also, I start many paragraphs with 'also'. I've noticed this recently. HOWEVER! I continue on! So, I have a grudge against timezones. And Fate. And the world.

Dear World,

GIVE ME MY FOD BACK! DAMN IT! Also my Kovsky, who is not completely stolen but is on limited time and mostly text messages. Thank you for potentially restoring my Twat last night. Do not go completely stealing Arrie, I am already apprehensive. But right now? GIVE ME MY DAMN FOD BACK!

with suspicion,

swmbo

In a related note, I am very disgruntled at these things called "time zones". Ros is in the wrong one. And I am suspicious that Arrie will be in the wrong one as well, once she starts her University classes. And Vi's been in the wrong one for ages. It's hard enough to get meshy schedules as it IS...then people start hanging out in timezones that are HOURS different than mine and I flail and flail.

flowery_twat and I are preparing to recruit a force to Fodnap rescue Ros. I am quite suspicious of you, my dear kita0610. Because of people who are conveniently 'asleep' or 'not home'. mmmhmmm. When the lone communication I received from Ros has been "I have been bad! Send me to Kansas!". That sounds like a coded plea for rescue to ME! I told Twat that I would hop a plane and spearhead a rescue mission ASAP. SHe reminded me that if any rescue attempts hinged on me being on a plane that left the ground that the entire endeavour was doomed. Oh. Right. Damn. Kita, please love on the Fod for me. Because somebody needs to and I am tired of CRYING MYSELF TO SLEEP through missing. Tears have been soaking my pillow. Absolutely soaking. I had to get a new pillow.

And in final news, tomorrow is the Lost. And I am excited. Because I was gonna write up all my comments on the episode back when I first saw the pilot - the good, the bad and the absolutely cracktastic - and then I ... didn't. Shush. I'm often lazy. But this is a second chance, hurrah! Also conveniently broken up into bitesized hour long pieces! So I'll give it a try.

This is long, and rambling and...yeah, what else did you expect? I'm feeling my oats today! Or rather, I'm feeling my peanut-butter chunk brownies and perfect coffee. And I had another coffee story to tell but, yeah, this is already too long. It's the coffee story that NEVER WAS!!

*massive hugs*

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the_royal_anna !! I hope you have an absolutely fabulous day, from top to bottom, and get spoiled to pieces in your own imaginary bed and breakfast. *HUGS*

And 'limited edition' Crunch bars with Peanut Butter? God, so good.

So I was thinking. Shush. And it created this post. On it's own! I had nothing to do with it! And so the first half is me musing, and I politely put it behind cut tags cause I've already taken up tons of flists today. And the second half is just convos/meetings/discussions at work today and some people like 'em and some don't. I, however, am recording them for my own posterity. That's POSTERITY, not posterior, KOVSKY. *grumbles*


Anyway, fitofpique was spinning me up to new heights of excitement with all of her squeeing with joy about Lost airing tomorrow.

( ramblings about television and fandoms and swmbo's related appreciations....sort of )

And this turned into a kind of love letter to fandom. I had specific points I wanted to make, about the different kinds of interaction I've had with shows and other viewers in the past and I made some of them but others have slipped my mind because instead I've just been overcome with more excitement and happiness.

Because I love people and I love communication and I love the interaction that these shows bring. And I love the fandom that exists on so many levels and I just wanted to thank all of you, those that are here now and have been there in the past and anybody who'll be there in the future. And I really, really hope that Lost lives up to what I want it to be, and that there continues to be shows that do but really, I know that you guys will live up to it. Because you're there if the shows are good or bad or indifferent and that excitement, your enthusiasm, that makes my own appreciation a thousand times richer.

And I kinda like you for that.

But on the other hand, I want to know - shows you've gotten into ONLY because of fandom influence? Would you stick with them if your fannish support went away? Shows you tried to get into because of fandom and failed? Shows that you did NOT want to get into but couldn't help yourself?
