Dad, your package arrived yesterday and now it's sitting on a chair in the dining room, taunting me seductively. Mom says I can't open it until Thursday and I just know she's gonna make me wait until she gets home from work, the meanie.

I've been toying with buying more icon space with my LJ Gift Certificate. It costs $10 for a years worth and the Gift Certificate is for $15 and it can only be used once. But I'm seriously considering it. But since I have 112 already, I wonder if I could actually buy more or if there's a limit.

And you all are undoubtedly curious as to my subject line. Well... my friend Stampers has started on her 'Keeper' story on ATACT and one of the characters from the original book series is Dean McIssac, a very attractive young man who happens to be extremely sweet and well intentioned. So, a good target for stalking. He also happens to look a lot like Tom Welling in my mind's eye (thus the userpic), so that just makes him all the more drool-iscious. Now, ordinarily I'm not one to objectify anyone, but I figure us women have had our fair share of it, so now it's the guys' turn. Besides, a bunch of us on there are fully armed hormone bombs as it is.

I was successful in my hard drive clean up yesterday. Well, not a "clean up" in the truest sense of the word, more like some image saving and removal. Now maybe I have some more space. Maybe.

I think mom deleted to rest of the 'Angel' episodes I had waiting for me on the DVR. *grumbles* I hadn't watched them yet either...

And I haven't been getting a lot of comments on my journal recently. I know there are certain lag times and stuff, but it kind of makes me wonder if anyone is reading.

As for today, I need to take a shower, clean the kitchen floor and... that's about it. Maybe I'll actually get around to watching my 'Fushigi Yuugi' DVD's so I can turn them in. But I've said that before...

Trivia of the day: The dark spots on the moon that create the benevolent "man in the moon" image are actually basins filled 3 to 8 kilometers deep with basalt, a dense mineral, which causes immense gravitation variations.

This weekend was pretty full for me. Since I had Friday off, that sorta counts. Mom had taken Friday off too (for a seperate reason) so we went to lunch and then went to my grandma's because we wanted us to try and fing my aunt's old baby book so she could send it to my other aunt. So the two of us went through all of her scrapbooks and photo albums looking for it. It was kinda fun, actually. Then, we went out to dinner when grandma came back from her card game. We never did find the baby book (it was found later on grandma's bookshelf where we didn't even think of looking).

Saturday we did some more clean-up. I culled some of my old wardrobe. Stuff that I haven't worn in over ten years. So needless to say seriously out of date, so I thought, "Why not give 'em away." I also got rid of some of my old (but clean) undies. I mean, I don't wear briefs anymore, so I didn't bother in keeping them.

I also went on a mini spending spree. I was looking for books on web design at Barnes & Noble (which I found, BTW), I came across Rurouni Kenshin 19, Death Note 1, and The Wallflower 5. I got those too. I also stopped by Best Buy and bought the latest two disks of Samurai Champloo. It's strange somehow actually physically holding a copy of DN in my hands when I've been so used to reading it on the screen, but then I felt that way when I got vol. 17 of Furuba.

We may have found an apartment. I mean, ideally we'd rather have a house, but if all we can find is an apartment... so be it. It's not too much beyond our price range and they seem to be pretty nice. But the thing is, whether or not they'll allow three pets. That seems to be the major problem we come across.

I changed my wallpaper. Even though I really loved the Jin one I had (he looked especially good), I switch to Saiyuki. Hey, I figure why stare at one bishie when I can drool at four of them. Here it is, I got it directly from Minekura-sensei's official site:

I have 4 spot free for icons. One is going to the Cloud/Tifa that [livejournal.com profile] flamika will eventually make, one is hopefully going towards another Zel/Amelia one, one is a free one and the other one may go to the "L Lives" one I'm planning on making.

Well, I have to go get my blood work done today for my drs. appointment next week. I don't have to fast anymore, so that's good. I also have to call the vet and reschedule Missy's teeth cleaning for another time.

Mom wants me to help out at the church-wide yard sale tomorrow. Personally, I'd rather set my teeth on fire. I know it's an important fund raiser and all that jazz and they could probably use the help, by my indifference is beginning to win out. I mean, it's Saturday!! The one day of the week I can sleep in!! And I kinda made plans already... Besides, I've already been roped into being there tonight to help with the drop off. It didn't hurt that mom bribed me with food. Smokey Bones BBQ, to be precise. She got a gift certificate.

I made more icons yesterday, but I'm not going to post them since I posted them on my forum and someone had to make an issue of "I can't read the text, so what's the point." Urg. So! It's called 'artistic license.'

*stabs*

Well, I thought they were pretty good...

[livejournal.com profile] elantis, you probably know who it was (that is, if you haven't already been on and seen for yourself).

Talk about totally cheesing me off.

And I currently have 4 spaces left on my icon account. I gotta make 'em count. I think I need another Zel/Amelia icon...
