legion the things i'd give for a cookie

[seperis]

If I grumble, it's for a good cause.

Planned days off are awesome; taking off for sick child, not so much. I mean, not the caring for sick Child ("Mommy, go away."), but the fact I like to have a plan. If the plan is sleep, eat, sleep, eat, read my lj, and sleep, then by God, that's a plan. But now, there is no plan. There is, however, catching up on comments, which is nice, since most of the time I don't get a chance to respond to the latest ones or really think them over until the weekend when they are probably forgotten by the poster.

So I have achieved not so much productivity as make-work. I need a project.

Okay, this is twofold: one, class gave me evening structure. I had something due! I had to work! And that it was deeply fun to do was really a bonus; two, my work on the guide at work is coming to an end and I'm freaked out, because no one else, and I say this without arrogance, simply fact, knows enough about HTML, CSS, or Adobe to continue it, or is willing to learn. Not to mention the testing work I did on the program. I'm worried. It's not my responsibility, but--it's mine. I don't mind giving it up to someone who will love it like I do, who will enjoy it, who will take responsibility for it and work at it and think about how to make it better. Gah.

ITunes

...why is itunes now randomly going back and making me find my library again? For the third time since I moved to this computer?? Did I do something wrong in set-up? The last time it happened--oddly, on December 1st--I immediately saved the library in case, but seriosuly, this is *annoying*. It's happening every two *weeks* and I'm officially tired of having ot go back and re-do my library like this; I dont' remember every change I made and every new playlist I created or what was on it. Hence the fact I save playlists as my memory.

Bored

Um, point me toward something interesting? Seriously. Sick Child is now watching X-Files off tapes we inherited from someone. Also, taking a second to revel in my Child's awesome--he's watching X-Files! He's asking about the little grey men! He's following the conspiracy. I kind of want to cry with the sheer joy of it. Strangely, he didn't care for Space: Above and Beyond and I'm still wary on Battlestar Galactica after the first season. He's whimpering about how the lack of Dr. Who is oppressing him! He is an entitled fan!

I have done my work here.

For BSG I don't think season 2 is a good idea for anyone under the age of 12 to watch. It has a lot of violence and some of it is sexualized. I love season 2 of BSG I just don't think a kid would really understand it very well and again violent.

The latest thing wot sucked me in is Jericho (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho_(TV_series). I guess I have a...thing, for apocalypse stories. Can provide if you want, just holler.

I am sure that it will shock you that I'm suggesting reality TV.

It's not my fault that it solves all world problems!

For Child, start torrenting (or even Netflixing) old school Who. Almost guaranteed to be child safe, and you've got a long while before running out of material (even without the First and Second Doctor episodes that BBC lost or burned their copies of).

ETA: It is entirely possible you may appreciate some old school Who, too. Just Netflix any of the eps with Tom Baker as a starting point.

I say he's not quite an entitled fan until he tells Russell T. Davies "I HOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE" for harshing his squee, but it's something to aspire to!

It is *nods* It *really* is - feels your pain. I hope he's well in time for Christmas.

any and all children of mine will not only underSTAND the XF conspiracy, but will be able to hold forth on it in great socio-politico-cultural detail, and be able to whine with GREAT entitlement on how exactly the last season or so betrayed all that went before.

your child is made of win. again i hope i can do half so well with mine. i am hideously proud of you both, sight unseen. because as a unit and as individuals you give me hope for humanity.

*wonders how much it'll mess up her kids to inculcate them with "Lexx" before they're ten*

i miss Kai and his awful 80's-hair wig...
