So, this is a bit of an incomplete list because I suck ass at keeping track of anything of my own on LJ. O_o;; Still, gotta start somewhere.

The WIPs, are just, well...I like starting things that I don't finish. They're there for the curious, but don't expect a lot of come of them. ( Read more... )

To give you an idea of how dull my life really is, when I actually accomplish housework I feel like I've conquered the world or something. XD

Over the last two days, I have:
1) Done the dishes (And by "done" I do not mean, "thrown away", because that's what I tend to do with pots and pans that are particularly difficult to clean)

2) Cleaned the kitchen. (Seriously, I mopped the floor *_* Which I haven't done since...like...February.)

3) Vacuumed the living room, hallway and bedroom. (I don't vacuum the office. Mostly because you can't see the carpet in the office and vacuuming is impossible if you can't at least see the carpet.)

4) Did all the laundry and went grocery shopping! (Seriously, I loathe grocery shopping. First, you have to navigate a cart around a place that should, in all honesty, possess a traffic light and rules of the road as well as vehicles with child restraints. Second, you have to pay, which always makes my wallet weep. And third, then I have to haul all the damn things I bought up three flights of stairs and put them away myself as I've yet to create minions have children who will do it for me. And the child husband I do have only makes grocery shopping take five times as long, so I leave him at home.)

5) Then I cleaned and mopped the bathroom!

Seriously, this is more than I've done to this place since Feb, and I only did what I did in Feb because there was an apartment inspection.

And! I made cookies!

In other news, I'm still reading Egypt book. And, according to J, when I summarized it for him, I butchered everything. But! It's more fun reading this than it was trying to read the stuff for that one ancient Greek class I took. In which I read a lot of 'primary sources' and went -_- Really? You're shitting me right? Today! The part of Alexander the Great will be played by a huge man who fights Persian tentacle monsters and untied the biggest knot known to man according to Plutarch! (Not really, but there was the same level of reality to what I was reading at the time) Which makes complete sense as it was widely believed that his father was Zeus because his mother dreamed her belly was hit with lightening bolts!

It's much easier when you can read and not have to worry about trying to figure out what the historical reality might really have been. Because Alex the Great? It's kind of like reading about the history of Superman, should he happened to have been a real person and not a complete fictional entity.

I always had an ongoing dialogue in my head in that class that would start with, "Today on Alexander the Great Conquers the World! The Persian campaign, can one man single-handedly kill every warrior man person in the middle east just by looking at them with a sword in his hand?" It was supposed to be a class on comparing and contrasting primary resources to obtain a better understanding of events. Which would have been perfectly fine if you weren't comparing ancient so-and-so's idea of Alex the great as Genghis Khan meets Superman to another ancient so-and-so's idea that Alex the great shot lightening bolts out of his ass because he was just. that. awesome.

Happy Birthday tygati!

I hope that, in spite of everything, you had an awesome day. <3333

Nipped from...well, everyone practically. XD

List 10 of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, and if they're so inclined, to draw conclusions about you based on the patterns they've spotted.

And! I'm doing two because I know what my tastes are in characters of the male persuasion. ^_^

1. Harry Potter -- Neville
2. Digimon -- Joe
3. Firefly -- Simon
4. Bones -- Zack
5. Star Trek reboot -- Chekov
6. Buffy -- Zander
7. Big Bang Theory -- Leonard
8. Harry Potter (yes, I have it twice, bite me) -- Percy
9. DwtD dragonverse -- Kip (Okay, there are a ton I could pull up from Q's stuff, but Kip is the one I reread the most often, so he gets put on the list above say, Lowell or Edison or Elton (Pretty!))
10. Angel -- Wesley

1. Star Trek reboot -- Bones
2. Harry Potter -- Sirius
3. Gilmore Girls -- Luke
4. Firefly -- Mal
5. Star Trek reboot -- Kirk
6. Digimon -- Davis
7. Supernatural -- Dean
8. Pride and Prejudice -- Mr. Darcy
9. PatD -- Ryan Ross (Seriously, I find this name hysterically funny as I happen to have brothers with those names)
10. LaSTtH -- Talon

XD I feel like I should make some kind of diagram square of fun male character traits that I like (although, they could just as easily be female traits. In fact, that could be fun...but I don't read a lot of stuff these days with a ton of female characters and unfortunately, these things are generally not what I notice first about female characters I'm watching on TV. Although Temperance is totally a top right square kind of gal and I have a girl crush on her for it.).

Top left corner -- innocent but downtrodden w00bie-ish puppy

Top right corner -- socially awkward nerd/geek/outcast who is his own worst enemy in any given scenario

Bottom left corner -- surly grumbly bear with emotional chip on the shoulder the size of Canada

Bottom right corner -- Happy go lucky (almost to the point of suicidal) emotionally stunted smart ass

ETA: more because tygati is contagious too. :D

TMNT: Raphael, Michelangelo
Fushigi Yuugi: Chichiri, Tasuki
X-Men: Wolverine, Gambit
Mighty Max: Virgil
Fruits Basket: Kyo, Momiji, Hatori, Shigure (seriously, I could probably list all the Sohmas, but we'll go with top four ;3)

Darn it. Have to go to bed and don't want to. ;_; /whine

ETA: from aggybird: Don't forget to change your livejournal time zone to Asia/Tehran. Iranian censors are currently searching for blogs with Tehran local settings in order to find and shut down sites protesting the election. The more blogs set to Tehran time, the bigger the haystack. Every little bit helps.

To do that, go to your info profile page, and up by your username at the top left corner, click on account then click on display. The time zone is right there.
