But I think I'm really getting into Smallville again. I'm totally shipping Oliver and Clark Kent and I'm getting plot bunnies where Zodd gets his powers and discovers Clark Kent and uses his powers to try and steal Clark from Oliver...you know stuff like that...I think it helps that the guy they cast for Zodd is HOT. :) And kind of evil but...could maybe pick another destiny. I also really love Tess. I'm even shipping Clark/Lois hardcore on the show. But truly, I think Clark/Oliver makes a lot more sense! they keep having heart to heart talks and wow does Oliver look great!

P.S. my original intention of my post was to ask for fic recs for Oliver/Clark or Clark/Zodd...I looked for archives yesterday but...I didn't have much luck. :(

I had a lot of fun reading on Saturday. I also had a blast giving out candy over Halloween. I waited to watch Merlin until after 8:30 my time which is pretty much when we ran out of candy. It was all around a fun day. And now I'm playing catch up on Sunday with homework. I think I would have been done by now but once I started the Star Trek story I had to finish it.

Vids

Hurt by ash48 (vid:recs:spn) INSTANT REC!!! This blew me away, I loved the pacing, the clip choices, and how the vid comes together at the heart wrenching ending.



In other news, I saw Pandorum on Sunday and I had a blast. It was scary, I loved the concepts, and I can't stress just how creepy this movie was. I actually had a nightmare about it which was awesome! Not many movies in the sci-fi/horror genre are actually that good. This was one of the better movies in terms of production values, acting, plot, and concept. I appreciate it when it looks like the movie creators put some effort into the story and visual effects.

I'm also slowly but surely catching up on Smallville, someone on my flist had said season 9 is better and they were right! I've been really enjoying season 8 and so far I'm hooked on the story they set up for season 9 it also helps that I really love the Justice League stuff aka Oliver Queen, Lois Lane, Choloe, the new really really hot guy (played by Brian Austin Green formally of Sarah Conner Chronicles and 90210) and I love Tess. Um I guess Clark is okay but I realized I'm pretty much watching the show for the women and special effects. If someone had asked me four years ago if I could ever love Smallville I would probably have laughed and said no way in hell...not sure what changed since then but I think the story lines are more interesting.

I think I may go exercise and when I get done re-read my paper. Right now my eyes are glazing over the text.

I think I'm so nervous about this assignment because on one of the module activities I lost .25 points out of 2 and I still don't know why? (I wrote to the professor asking what I did wrong so I could do better on the next assignment and I haven't heard back) I also never got an answer as to whether or not the bibliography and appendix counted towards our total page count. (I asked early Friday too)

Seriously, this is not how you're supposed to run an online class...

again if anyone can help me by beta reading my paper I would appreciate it. It's only 10 pages, well technically 12 with bibliography and appendix. I'm barely over the 10 page mark on text...I'm thinking I may need to add some filler. or I'm missing answering something...

ETA: found someone!

Would anyone be willing to read through my midterm paper for past/present tense problems? It's due today at 11:55pm Central time...and I only have 3 more sections to write before I'm done. Basically, I'd really like another pair of eyes to read over this paper is worth 25% of my overall grade.

email me at amalthia at gmail.com if you have the time.

I'd appreciate any and all help,
Thanks!

I can tell it's the first week after my period. It's like clockwork. I'm irritable, can't concentrate on anything, none of my favorite things keep my interest long.

So tonight instead of moping about the internet I'm going to watch Star Trek (the new movie) or Number3...I hear season 6 has been good so far.

In other news, I finally found a librarian that manages more than one person, that will allow me to job shadow her for 3 hours tomorrow morning, for my midterm paper due this Saturday. I was beginning to worry I wouldn't find anyone in time and I started looking last week! I think maybe I'm dreading my paper this upcoming Saturday but not sure why 10-15 pages really isn't that long when double spaced.

I'm also debating on re-watching Voyager (still need to find torrent) but I'd re-read the Just a Guy Series this week (like in two days because I could not put this story down!) Now I'm kind of interested in seeing Voyager and Highlander again. I'd forgotten just how much I enjoyed the two series. But now that I've finished reading this epic I'm not sure what to read next. (I hate being between stories)

On the work front, it's hard to stay motivated. I'm now learning how to read line edits. The technical writer marks in red ink on projects/reports/tech memos and my boss is the one that normally takes those and makes the changes in Word, however she's leaving for vacation at the end of the month so she's teaching me how to do this and so far I'm sucking at it. I can't read the handwriting 99% of the time and not all the marks make sense. But I figured if I ever get good at this it's one more thing I can add to my resume. My list of things I can do is increasing daily. (I think that's a good thing)

Ultimately, I'm worried that I'll never be truly happy or find a job I enjoy. I can't tell anymore if my lack of happiness makes it harder to enjoy work or if it's my workplace that makes me unhappy.

I don't think ice cream can fix whatever it is that's wrong with me. But I'm going to try.
