Snow, Snow and More Snow
Apr. 15th, 2014 07:33 pmDo you believe it? Snowing all night and into this morning. Got 2-3 inches and it did not melt as it did in some areas.
It has been a few days and my life, as usual, has taken another turn. I was reading my way through my X-Files fan fiction and was half way through a story. I cannot remember if I said this before, at my age the memory is a soggy sponge. On a Sunday I tuned in to Blood Ties, the vampire tv series based on Tanya Huff's books and it was the pilot and it gave me a taste for finding the book and reading it. So far I am half way through book four. I will likely go on.
It is unlikely I will go back to X-Files anytime soon this year. Next year is another story...we shall see. I sent feedback to Tarlan, Aries and Josan, and finally made contact with Sleeps With Coyotes and told all of them I had reread their stories and still loved them and found out that all of them have left fandom and got a life. I am the oldest of them all and retired with time on my hands and they are all leading incredibly busy lives but all were kind to the old pest.
Diet is back on track, down 32 pounds. Life is good and will be better when the snow melts and goes away and stays away. I want to see flowers.
Spent an entire morning this week reading up on Game of Thrones. My eldest son is hooked on it and wants me to come and watch a marathon. I watched something in the first season and it was dark and they killed off Sean Bean and I don't get HBO. I bought him the books and said thanks but no thanks. Then I took one of those Buzzfeed tests and accidentally chose Jon Snow as part of my persona and it would not let me change it because it was the last question. So, of course, I went to search and see who Jon Snow was...and so I went to google. Interesting stuff, I read up on all the characters and story lines and how the books differ from the show. Great over view of the show and now I don't have to watch it but will understand comments about the show and when spoilers show up on blogs I will know what they are talking about.
Spending a fortune on TV channels and find nothing I want to watch. Thank god for books. There is not enough time in my day. My list of things to do is huge. I am so suggestible. Dr. Who #9 first two episodes were on a few days ago and I immediately wanted a marathon. I have the disks and I was so tempted but I also wanted to rewatch my Pros disks, I want to finish the Tanya Huff books, I need to enter all of the new books I have bought into my library software, I want to watch the new disks of Firefly, I should go swimming, I want to collate all my emails between my sister and I, I want to download all my Live Journal entries. I am five months behind...and I do not trust websites....everything dies or disappears and it would bloody break my heart if my journals vanished overnight. Live Journal is now owned by Russia...who knows what they will do. I was one of the first adopters of Live Journal which meant I had it free for life but I still paid to have that confirmed for sure because I poured my heart into it. I am very verbose. Stream of consciousness sort of stuff unless I am upset and then my rants have a purpose. Live Journal is for those sorts of rants and anything else my grasshopper brain throws up. My emails are always long, my journal entries are always long. I wish I was a writer, I love writers but I cannot plot, I am too long winded, too much information.
I have to learn how to use Ebay and Paypal so I can sell some of my Starsky & Hutch memorabilia, my Conan comic collection, some of my Elvis stuff. I must downsize. There used to be charities that would take gently used teddy bears but these days with germaphobia rampant you cannot get a home for much loved bears. I will keep mine and my son can pitch them in the garbage after I am gone. Records and record player.
Will shut up now. NCIS is on...and Gibbs is a cutie.
