Distracted By Something Shiny

Hello all! Quick update - Feeling better cough-wise, not 100%, but finally got someone to take some action on a treatment for me. Body is failing me due to many days in bed and inactivity - very bad for the arthritis. Boo that, but it'll stretch out as I get back on my feet, I think. Hoping to maybe get to see The Hobbit some time in the next week, as I haven't felt well enough to go yet. (it's driving me up the walls not to have seen it yet!) Missed most of the family holiday gatherings due to sickness, but other than missing the kids (and not getting The Nephew's project finished) I was mostly okay with staying home for that stuff. Did attend a small fraction of the extended family gathering and that is a whole story unto itself. Also have some therapy stories for you and hopefully my sister will relay enough of her trip this weekend to see The Hobbit with The Nephew for me to make a post on that. I did not get around to Christmas cards this year, but I bought them, so I'll save them and try again next year!

Anyways, I was going to put up pictures of Zippo, The Christmas Queen, for you all, as I did that over on Tumblr, but LJ doesn't seem to want to let me upload any new photos to my scrapbook. Anybody know what's up? It offers me my all-ready made scrapbook albums or a Dropbox option (for which I do not have an account) but no 'upload from computer' or whatever. What's the deal, LJ? So, until I figure that out, it means I can only post pictures I already have loaded. Which I guess means I just have to spam you with every Christmasy picture I have in my scrapbook! Enjoy!


Our Christmas tree from years past!

I hope to be back around these parts by the turn of the year, fingers crossed and all that. I just haven't wanted to push myself, but I miss you guys muchly. Hope you are all well and that the holidays treated you splendidly, as you all deserve it!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

OBAMA WON! Like you all don't know by now, but still...WHOOT-WHOOT! AWESOME. I was getting a little nervous last night, I have to be honest. I was thinking about if Romney/Ryan won and made some cuts to government services for people. Which then of course led me to the thought of 'What if my mother has to move in with us?' It's a nightmare I have often actually. But we won!!!! Now I can rest easy and also, no more robocalls! Today was the first time in a month that I woke to find the answering machine light not blinking.

I think we should all celebrate like Obama’s Anger Translator and DANCE!!!!!

Check out some of the other ones, like Key & Peele: Obama on Halo 4. These dudes are hysterical.

My sister also sent me this little snippet from an article about negative politics awhile back and it made me laugh. Craig Ferguson ended up talking about this on his show the other night and I thought I’d dig it back out for you all. Politics has always been a cut throat business, hasn’t it?

( From a story about past negative elections. )

And for those of you outside of Michigan who watched that hysterical West Wing video, I thought I would let you know that Bridget Mary McCormack won her seat on the bench. And now I don’t have to think about politics again for at least a year, right?

Just wanted to pop in say Happy Holidays to all my peeps.

These pictures were taken last Christmas. These are two of my three cats - Papa Bear in the first photo and Roo in the second photo. My third Cat, Krycek aka Big Buddy, refuses to pose for anything unless he's caught unaware and asleep. ;)

So, during a discussion with someone else, it came up that I both watch "Supernatural" and enjoy Supernatural Fandom with my RL best friend. It has happened a few times that I got shocked reactions from my Fandom-Peeps that I would share my secret fandom-ness with a RL person - namely The BFF.

But the thing is, I met The BFF through Fandom. And it was her that got me into "Supernatural" in the first place. And that led me to wonder how everyone else got started watching whatever their current obsession Show is.

( So, here is my story, about how I got started watching Supernatural. )

And now I have Supernatural in my life...and I stumble alone in the dark no longer.

So...what is the one show you are watching right now that you would declare to be Your Show? And how is it that you discovered Your Show in the first place? Do you share it with anyone in your RL?

Also, I just excitedly realized that this is the kind of question you can repost in your journal! So, respond in my comments or answer in your own journal and ask your flist about their Shows.

In Sum: I heart Supernatural.
