THINGS THAT ARE AWESOME:
1) Star Trek: Voyager, season 6! After the season premiere OF HOLY RAGE, it has been an entire season of gleee! I don't get it. Happy pills in the replicators? Don't know! Don't care! Photonic fleas! Am happy!
2) OMG,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angel_grace sent me Jake 2.0 DVDs!!! OMG! WITH COVERS! OMG. I have been waiting for this moment for yeeeeeears. Jake 2.0 for my very own forever omg yay! This gleee is shared with the rest of my household, because now we can delete the series off our DVR and start recording Golden Girls again.
3) Good things are happening to my friends. This pleases me.
4) I spent my afternoon averting disaster with difficult buyers and charmed them to death, by alternating my "hee hee! I am a harmless secretary!" voice with my "MWAHAHA, revel in all the things I know about COMMON AIR SHAFTS and DAMPERS and FEATHERING CONCRETE!" Yes, there was rocking, and I think it's all due to this cat macro that is my computer background. (My job? Deals a lot with buyer walk-through inspections. A LOT. Every day, someone says this to me. Well, pretty much.)
5) I have a sekrit nefarious fandom plan that is SEKRIT and NEFARIOUS and making me very happy. But I can't implement it until I finish real estate school. The joy, however, continues.
6) Did I mention that Voyager is full of silly Happy Voyager-ish joy lately? Because it totally is!
Too tired to watch new 'lantis! Save for weekend, yay.

[gratuitous mood theme post]
taraljc made a Jake 2.0 moodtheme! And is letting me use it! AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING.
(familyarchives? I haven't forgotten your Jake fic request. It started getting plot-ish and out of hand, so I think I may scrap it and just give you the usual plotless fluff to which you have become accustomed, rather than making you wait ten years.)
As for the rest of you -- did you download the episodesficgate put up and BECOME ADDICTED yet?
( things I should be doing right now, a list, made public to better shame me: )

Jake 2.0 Episodes for YOUUU!
Feb. 22nd, 2007 04:22 pmficgate is MADE OF AWESOME, and has uploaded the entire series to yousendit. That's right. ALL THE EPISODES of Jake 2.0, so that you can have them for your very own, learn what all the buzz is about, and finally get me to stop hassling you.No excuses! You know you want to!
Episodes 1-8 are here!
Episodes 9-16 are here!
I expect to see pointing and clicking, people.
I am feeling rather LONELY in my Jake 2.0 obsession of late.
Fortunately, they are running a marathon of the first half of the Jake 2.0 series tomorrow on Sci-Fi! (And it is PRESIDENTS' DAY, which means that THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WANTS YOU TO WATCH.)
Taking a cue frommeyerlemon, I have decided to beg the internet with LOTS OF ALL CAPS to WATCH and LOVE and then geek around fannishly with me afterwards.
Reasons you should watch:
1) Christopher Gorham is THE CUTEST GEEK EVER... and he has accidental technology SUPERPOWERS, and sometimes gets all dorkily RAGEFUL and kicks ass. It is absolutely everybody's sekrit fantasy. Just mine? WHATEV, it's an awesome fantasy, and once you watch IT WILL BE YOURS TOO. He can post to LJ with his BRAIN.
2) There is ridiculous GEEK ROMANCE. There is NO HUMAN WAY that you will not squeee, I PROMISE.
3) SPIES. SPIES, PEOPLE, SPIES. There are even CRAZY FORMER SOVIET SPIES.
4) Women, liek, run the NSA. POWERFUL WOMEN, who are totally hot and incite crazeh fear into hardass army Generals.
5) Guest spots by ZELENKA and CARSON BECKETT and BOOMER and DUALLA and just about EVERYONE ELSE in the Vancouver Actor Mad Lib Scene! And most of them? Play nefarious people who are kind of SPIES.
6) There are only 16 episodes total! It is not a lifetime commitment! This marathon and one in March and that is ALL I ASK!
8-6 Monday. You have a DVR and a lust for hawt geek SPIES, I KNOW YOU DO!
And a bonus: If you watch Jake 2.0? I will write you ANY JAKE 2.0 FANFIC YOU WANT. That's right, peeps. One-time only offer, for the good of the CAUSE.
THE POWER OF LITTLE RED COMPELS YOU.

"Call me Valerie."
Feb. 17th, 2007 05:35 pmIn the episode of Bliss called "Office Mangement," Executive Director Warner from Jake 2.0 is seducing a geeky young COMPUTER TECH.
So much wrong omg.
Also in the category of "wrong": the Mormon sister missionaries knocked on our door while we were watching. This isn't the first time they've come over while we were watching Bliss; it's like they have a sense for when we're sinning more blatantly than usual.

JAKE 2.0 IS LOVE.
Jan. 29th, 2007 04:27 pmErm, I have no clever subject line, obvy.
Watching Jake 2.0 is like this endless stream of "Hey! It's that guy!/girl!/zomg!" It's like a fandom nursery. In "The Prince and The Revolution," there's Dee as a bratty college student/international assassin and Carson Beckett as someone who disappears people. Love eet.
There are, of course, things not to love about Jake 2.0. The opening monologue is only okay if you laugh the whole way through (because it's clearly ironic... right? He is the ultimate geek-boy upgrade, okay?), and the monologue also heralded the beginning of The Jake 2.0 Era Where Jake Is Suddenly Invincible. It's not that I don't love him as James Bond 2.0, but the transition was a little sharp. And where the heck is Sarah? I forgot she disappeared for so long, and Diane doesn't even get to gloat, because she's stuck in the lab with No One Talking To Her, for the most part.
I'm kind of freaking out about how the pilot episode was deleted off my DVR, though, and I think it missed taping an episode last week, because OMG IT IS JAKE 2.0 AND MAY NEVER AIR AGAIN EVER, AND MY LIFE IS NOW INCOMPLETE! Think someone in authority would release it on DVD in exchange for sexual favors? I'm super cute, I swear! I do yoga! I'm not above whoring myself out for a good cause! *leaves post unlocked, just in case*
Edit: Ohhh... yah, so, my DVR missed "Middleman," or Sci-Fi neglected to air it, and that's where my confusion about Sarah stemmed from. Got it. Andfamilyarchives has pointed out that this post makes me seem really bonkers, but that shouldn't really surprise any of you. As you were.

Jan. 27th, 2007 03:18 pmOMG, don't compliment strangers on their leather jackets, no matter how spiffy they look, because they might start telling you very excitedly all about how calves and lambs and things have BETTER SKIN for coats. Ack! LAAAMBS!
Life headlines:
1) I finally broke down and bought Sims 2 for the mac, and it has been just as detrimental to my life and sleeping habits as you would expect. I created a Jake 2.0 house, and it's totally RAD, lemme tell you. Kyle and Sarah are diligently slutting their way through, erm, each other and everyone else in range, Diane keeps blowing off her scientific career to trail after Jake, and Lou is smarter and stronger than everyone else. Poifect! (Should I assume that, as a general rule, any fanfic ideas inspired by actions of my sims will be really bad ideas?)
2) I am to get my wisdom teeth yanked next week, so Plan B -- scooping them out myself with a sharp fork -- has been put on hold. I have to use general anesthesia (TUBES DOWN MY THROAT WTF EEEEK I AM SO AFEARED), or else have multiple surgeries (in which case my office might implode in a Hellfire Of Inaccurate Spreadsheets, so not an option). Doctor claims that because I'm allergic to anti-inflammatories, my recovery will -- and I quote! -- "suck." Are doctors allowed to say that? The surgeon is a woman, though, so my fear of waking up pregnated has been assuaged. (I watch too many movies on Lifetime. I have to stop doing that.)
3) I slept last night for the first time in more than a year without trazodone, and now feel like I've fallen into a parallel dimension, where everything is the same except the color contrast has been turned up a little higher.

things that are awesome:
Jan. 13th, 2007 11:25 am1) princess_philo posted this ridiculously awesome cabled knit handbag pattern that I plan to rip off, like, as soon as I can get myself to a craft store and buy some handles. So kewt!!
2) A little gold link chain fell off one of our display easels and I have been playing with it nonstop for two days, and it is still amusing me. Eventually it will become a handle for a fancy dress handbag, I think, but for now, I am a science experiment to one of my coworkers, who has no idea how a child, let alone an adult, could be amused by a bit of metal string for hours on end.
3) JAKE 2.0. OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! I love this show so hard! Jake/Diane/nanites OTP FOREVAR!!! :) *deep breath* I squeed myself into asphyxia last night over the Jake 2.0 minimarathon on scifi, I swear. That episode with the friend's wedding in Seattle? Has 'shippiness that rivals Lois & Clark, I swear. FANDOM MUST NOW COMMENCE.
Things that are not awesome, FYI: Scary realtors calling and freaking out at me over the phone. WTF, people, with your entitlement issues. *freaks out with fear* I am sending whammy vibes at this woman that she decides not to bring her clients by later as threatened.

Jan. 5th, 2007 01:28 pmBestest thing the first: JAKE 2.0 on Sci-Fi tonight!! I have been elated about this all week, because it is THE MOST JOYFUL SHOW EVER and I have been kicking myself for not obsessively taping that one poor half a year that it was on the air.
Bestest thing the second: ... I GOT MY RAISE!!! And there are details and compromises and I didn't get scheduled time for real estate classes and my overtime privileges have been curtailed but NONE OF THAT MATTERS because they TOTALLY gave me more than I ever thought they were going to!! And I get a suhweet bonus if I get my real estate license (on my own time, since no scheduling help) by April 1.
I am so buying a breakfast bagel for lunch.
And then TONIGHT, I will take sister out to celebrate, probably at The Only Sonic Restaurant Within The State Of Oregon That Just Opened Only Two Miles From Our Apartment Because Gira Made A Deal With The Devil. Then home to watch Jake 2.0 and work on bestest thing #3: FABULOUS socks I'm knitting from expensivo Socks That Rock yarn that I got for Christmas! I'm designing the pattern as I go, which involves a lot of ripping back and re-knitting the heel turn until I find the one I like best. (Dutch heels? Not so much.) After doing sock knitting on two circular needles (which I admittedly thought was The Best Invention Evarr at the time), I can't tell you how blissful it is to be working on bamboo dpns (also for Christmas from The Second Set Of Parents). No tangling and searching for ends and... it's just delish. The colorway is awesome, and there will be pictures when I'm done and a pattern if anyone's interested!
