primroseburrows- I went to bed at 12:30 a.m., go me. Yes, you read it here first, folks. So now I'm trying to talk myself out of talking myself out of going to church. I'm still sleepy like I was last night, and I'm really beginning to think it's Adderall-induced fatigue. I hate that, but darnit, the stuff works for me jobwise. So, anyway, I really should go to church and actually try to be social. I don't have a church up here in the wilds of Northern RI yet, and I've been to this one and I like it (and not only that, they even have a CUUPS group), so, um. Yeah.
- I have a cell phone again, yay! I was eligible for an upgrade (actually, I used
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mr_t00by's upgrade, since he used mine when his phone broke last year). This thing has all sorts of features, like woah, a camera, which I don't really need, but apparently all the new ones have one. - Speaking of cameras, I haven't forgotten the picspam meme. I don't have a camera cable and the port for my SD card doesn't appear to be working, either. As soon as those problems are taken care of, I'll post pictures again. *sigh*
- The first time I heard about this, I pretty much sat back and waited for this. I'm apparently not the only predictable one in the universe. *loves* Also: Prospect of a S&A spinoff = good. I'm not holding my breath, but still. Much with the yay at the very notion. Also #2: Dear Toronto Sun: Please update your picture files. You can even have one of mine. Honestly.
- I'd better stop procrastinating and actually get a passport. Trivia: I look naked in my old one, because I was wearing a sundress with no straps, and it was a head shot (and hey, I was twenty years old, I could get away with dresses like that back then). Also, if the US government is forcing me to get a passport, shouldn't they pay for it? I mean, yeah, if I was going to France I'd say fine, because France would make me have one, too. But I'm going to Nova Scotia, fergodssake, and I'm pretty sure it's the US that cares if I have one or not, not Canada. Without a passport I can go there, but I can't come back. *narrows eyes* Hmmmm. "I'm sorry, work/family/etc., I'm not allowed back in the country. I know, it's a tragedy." *buys warm clothes, dresses in layers, enrolls here, joins travelling fiddle troupe, has weekly ceilidhs, wins lottery, imports family, buys us all houses*
- I finally had to go to the mall last evening, because that's where the Cingular store is. I did my part for Capitalism by purchasing books, how surprising! I got Making Sense of the Troubles: The Story of the Conflict in Northern Ireland (because, y'know, I need another book on Irish history), and also Stephen King's Dark Tower: The Complete Concordance (because the DT owns my soul, say thankya).
- I never noticed it before, but Stan Rogers? Had a sexy voice (is there another word for "sexy", because I hate that word, and is it okay to say dead people have sexy voices?). I never really noticed it until I put "Fisherman's Wharf" (my current favourite Stan song *g*) on my iPod. Maybe it's just me, because I'm a sucker for husky baritone voices. Here, listen:
Stan Rogers - Fisherman's Wharf - I basically have to go to ComicCon New York, don't I? Because, *sputter*
Now I just have to figure out what day and buy tickets formr_t00by and I before they're gone. If they're not already. - Oh, and joandarck? I can't get the whole Barrett's Privateers/Irish Rover/DS/Crossover!Fixit!AU out of my head. I think I might really really have to write it. I'm not sure if I want to thank you for this or run screaming from the room, because I'm thinking serious story, not crackfic, and it's gonna mean research. If I do it, it'll be the first really long thing I've ever written. Now to figure out what's Irish for Kowalski.
- I've sufficiently talked myself into going to church (because I'm NOT a hermit, honest!), so I'd better go get ready. And then, yay, housework!

Tentative yay! at spin-off possibility.

Date: 2007-01-14 05:25 pm (UTC)As much as I love JMS (if you just use initials you don't have to try to spell the difficult-to-spell thing), I wouldn't spend the money for the bus (or train) plus the con plus maybe an overnight. I'd do all that for my platonic!boyfriend, though. *g*

*has epiphany* STAN ROGERS = MERLIN Okay, it's not an exact analogy, but it's fun to think of Cliché!Merlin singing "Barrett's Privateers" ("oh, the year was 787 AD, how I wish I was in Cornwall now").
Tentative yay! at spin-off possibility.
I'm betting it isn't going to happen. This is Paul "I'd do a fourth season if there was one" Gross being all wishful-thinking-y, most likely.

I have that effect on people. *modest*
Web search says Kowalski is from Kowal, meaning blacksmith - which as an Irish name seems to end up as McGowan (again by haphazard Googling.) Okay, wrong way to go about it, it would probably be better to find an Irish name that looks like Kowalski. Oh, that's harder. Well, you could just call him something that's pronounced like "Kowal" but is spelled out using lots of gs and hs, I suppose.... am I getting too involved here? Backing off!

Date: 2007-01-14 09:58 pm (UTC)I would imagine there were Irishmen all over the place back then - the Irish and the Scottish traded populations a lot. But I will leave allllll the research to you, as I am

Stan Rogers ≠ Sexy. He has a sexy voice. Not. The same. Thing.

Okay, but who gets to arm wrestle Martha Burns?
