Lost and other things!
Sep. 12th, 2005 11:33 am
Okay, first, does everyone know about ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
propheting's Katrina relief fund efforts? Just want to make sure, because it's such a good cause (and you GET FIC!). Basically, you can bid on D/G authors to write whatever your heart desires, and the winning bid goes to the Red Cross. Most people don't even restrict what they'll write to D/G, so you can get them to write practically any pairing that interests you. Go check it out; some great authors are already up for grabs, so get your bids in (I'm not sure when bidding closes). Jade and I have both volunteered also, so I'll let you know when we're up (should be very soon).
Now on to the frivolous part of this entry.
1) My erstwhile roommates are now gone, and there's always this adjustment period I have to go through when I have company and then am suddenly alone again. There's this jumble of feelings: sadness, relief, loneliness, fear. The sadness and loneliness get canceled out by relief (I really prefer to live alone), and the fear (absent the security that two other people in your house provides) pretty much goes away. Especially as the Brinks people came on Sat. morning and I now have an alarm that could wake the dead when it goes off. My new fear is that I'll forget it's on in the middle of the night, or the morning before I've turned it off, and wander out of my bedroom, setting it off and creating a false emergency for law enforcement people. (And btw, yes, there is a way to turn the alarm on, but leave the motion detectors off. Whew.)
2) Fanart!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
twiddlekinks drew Draco and Cho from "Playing Dirty"! It's super cute, and brings back some fond memories of the writing of that story. <3 Also, it took me until now to find this beautiful D/G drawing by starlettegurly, which she says was partially inspired by "A Bed Made for One." Yay! I'll totally take "partially inspired" by the mega-talented Kara. And last, but not least, here is the Luke/Lorelai by tiny_q that I commissioned for Jade's birthday. Seriously, is it not awesome? I don't know how all you artists do it.
3) My Lost S1 DVDs arrived last week. I'd never seen the show before, and have thus far avoided all mentions of it on my flist so as not to get spoiled. I was spoiled on something (fairly minor) when I was still watching Alias and would turn on the TV too early, but other than that, I began watching with a fairly clean slate. After Jade and Robbie left, I was pretty much glued to the TV. I've now almost finished all 6 discs, and I think I'm either at the finale or two eps from the finale.
( My thoughts so far... (spoilers) )
