amezriHm. Been avoiding internet/computer activities the last few days. Not sure if that's making me feel better or not. I haven't checked the flist in ages, so I hope everyone's okay. If there's something I should read, link me.
Spent a couple hours this morning downloading Firefox extensions and a couple themes. Tweaked Winamp and Firefox a bit and skimmed e-mail.
Saturday I was at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queenmaab's. We watched like 8 episodes of Dead Like Me, worked on plushies, and watched her husband play Resident Evil for a while. It's always a good time over there, so I'm glad she invites me over. I had brought over a crap load of felt to -- in my ridiculous overestimation -- make a plushie or three. Yeah. I barely got most of one done. What I did finish didn't look bad, though, and it looks pretty close tot he doodle spaggel drew.
When I left QM's house close to midnight, I didn't realize there was a crazy snow storm going on outside. If I had, I might have asked to stay over or something. It was insane. I had to scrape ice off all my windows before my hands froze and that didn't really help much since the wind blew the powdery snow all over. The roads were really crappy, but between 4WD and driving half the speed limit, it wasn't too bad; at least, I didn't spin out or anything, so that's always good.
Sunday I spent the day crashed on the couch and finishing up the devil plush. I'm not totally happy with the way the legs were attached and how I had to finish some of it, but overall, I think it looks okay. I took some pictures yesterday afternoon, but don't like the way they came out, so will try again in a bit. I watched way too much tv, but can't remember what I watched, probably because it was all really crappy. Played Soul Calibur 3 with the brother for a while.
Oh.alorarose - I was watching some dog agility challenge thing on TV and one of the dogs was named Sinjin. oh.my.god. I just about died.
I-CON finally posted an updated guest list. I was a bit on the fence about attending, but now? I am so going. Ron Glass is going to be there. Shepherd Book! Heeee! And Carmen Argenziano aka Jacob Carter/Selmak from SG1. Oh. And Kevin sorbo and Marc Singer will also be there, but whatever. There are also going to be a few voice actors, among them Brad Swaile, who voiced Nightcrawler on X-Men Evolution, so I'll probably be in line for him. *is kurt fangirl* Plus, there are the usual scientists and authors. Should be a good year.
cassiejamie is coming (I think...?) and seijitataki and his friend. I'm hoping the SG-C will have a presence there 'cause, well, the free ticket would be cool, but the con on its own isn't very much, but the SG-C crew are fun and this year I might actually hang at the table a bit more.
Ugh. Crap. I just got a call from my aunt. I just got bitched at for not talking to my dad because he has issues and I should help him out. And I should go back to school and some other bullshit that I didn't really listen to because she was practically yelling at me. Ugh. Whatever.
