May. 7th, 2009 07:38 pmSo my paid account expires soon. I really haven't done much with LJ recently. Should I fork over the money, or let it default to the standard unpaid journal complete with crazy ads? I mean, it's not like I use more than a couple of icons, and I'm pretty sure I've posted maybe twice in the last two months.
Maybe I should just buy the two-month package and see where I am in two months?

I'm feeling very special right now.
How special?
I JUST MISSPELLED MY OWN USERNAME. So for the moment I'm stuck with "stobeck," which in the grand scheme of things isn't as bad as say the Apocolypse or a broken arm or the smell of burnt hair, but uh not so great for the ol' ego.
Hi, my name is Alex and not only can't I type, but I also can't proofread! Briliant.
ETA: OMG ALREADY FIXED. DW, I love you so hard.

Dec. 18th, 2008 01:33 amShows this week have been super extra sparkly awesome.
( CHUCK! )
( THE MENTALIST!! )
( CRIMINAL MINDS!!! )
I'm having fun making a topper for a groom's cake for a family friend. It's a couple kayaking. The Sculpey is driving me crazy, though. The oars are super thin, and they keep bending strangely. Plus I forgot to give the bride a veil when I sculpted her face and hair, and now I've got to figure out how to add one without making her look ridiculous. Fun times!
I love living out in the middle of nowhere, but tonight it's not fun times--the local band of coyotes keeps buzzing the house. It's especially fun because the fog outside is so thick you could cut it with a knife, and the coyotes only start yipping and howling when they've completely surrounded the house, so we get serenaded in surround sound. I'm just a few B-movie actors short of a horror film.

I've been so down these last couple of weeks it's kind of ridiculous. But! Cutting myself off from the internet and you wonderful people is not the way to go about life. I know you're dying to know what's been going on with me, amirite? OKAY!

Put iTunes on shuffle, take the first line from the first 20 songs and use them to make a poem. Use the first line of the 21st song as the title.

Nov. 25th, 2008 08:33 amSo like a genius I went to bed at 3:45 AM last night, and woke up at 7:45 so I could tidy my room very quickly before the Pest Control guy came in at 8 AM. I figured, hey, I can always take a quick nap after he leaves.
It's 8:34. He still hasn't gotten here. Argh!
Why did I think it was such a good idea to stay up late? Why?

So. New Star Trek trailer.
I haven't been this excited about a movie since the first time I heard they were making Episode I waaay back in the day, and we all know how that turned out. And I still have my reservations. (Um, WHY YOU BUILD ENTERPRISE ON EARTH, JJ, THAT MAKES NO KIND OF SENSE, ALSO WHERE IS GARY MITCHELL?!)
But still. Oh my god. OH MY GOD, IS IT MAY YET CAN IT BE MAY NOW.

Nov. 11th, 2008 11:32 pmI know I haven't been posting in a while but I haven't really had anything worth writing about.
UNTIL TODAY.
Today I had 70 new emails in my Huntingdon account. One third was Facebook stuff, one third was regular run-of-the-mill spam, and the final third was spam-- from me. My Huntingdon email account is sending itself spam. It's really effing creepy. Normal spammy stuff like "Tell everone about or sale" and "Now you can last longer in bedroom," but also the hella creepy "We have your home video," "We have all your personal info." And the horribly mystifying, "If you read it, you can't make your."
Dear internet, stop freaking me out. Love, Alex.

I hate the Presidential debates.
And not just because my entire family is rooting for McCain, and Danny makes snide comments while Obama's speaking, and Dad flips out about how the filming of the debate is biased because almost every shot of McCain showed the timing indicator lights. (Which, for the record, was true only for one question, during which McCain was standing directly in front of the light. SHEESH, DAD.) That's stressful enough.
What I hate, though, is the fact that NOBODY ANSWERS THE FRIGGIN QUESTIONS. I want to know their answers to these carefully-thought-out questions, and half their answer is spent on the party line and half is spent on discrediting the opponant, and while that's all fine and good, I WANT TO KNOW THEIR POSITIONS ON THE SITUATIONS OUTLINED IN THE QUESTIONS. And while I know that isn't really the point of the debates, not really, I WANT TO KNOW.
ARGH.
