this and that
hey, remember when it didn't take an entire week to get LJ comments? remember when LJ used to reimburse you with extra paid time for the inconvenience? i mean, i created my LJ in january, but now my yearly renewal date is in march. that's how much free time they used to give out. i miss those days. apparently, they're saying it's some snafu with yahoo mail flagging the comments as spam. reluctantly, i've switched over to my gmail account for LJ, and sure enough, it seems to be a-okay. but bah. email worlds colliding. dnw. :\
it's been an entire month since i posted last. woops.
house stuff:
you guys, thrift stores are my favorite. i got an end table for $17 and a dining room table + four chairs for $150! /o/ they both need to be sanded and refinished, but i'm so excited by their ~potential~. the dining set will likely end up stained a dark brown, but i'm thinking of painting the end table a bright fun accent color (to be determined once i pick out a couch - UGH SOFA SHOPPING).
i also got a duvet from ikea for $19! \o\ bargains are my faaaavorite, esp after spending far too much on my shiny, pretty kitchen faucet. *__* speaking of kitchens, the granite was installed last week! progress!
items to be completed before move-in:
tile backsplash
crown moldings
bathroom vanity stained
floors
appliances
electrician & plumber to return for final hook-ups
april 1st is not happening, not that i really expected it too. not with that date (HA HA HAR HAR :|). i'm aiming for april 30th now, which really means nothing, because ultimately, it will be done when it's done and no sooner, but it helps me breathe when i (delusionally or not) have an end date in mind.
surely there's some bandom content i should mention... um. i saw panic! at the disco at the roxy earlier this month. it was so great to see them on stage again. especially brendon in all his brendonness. i kind of adore that kid. and at the end, my mouth literally hung open in shock when he launched himself into the crowd. i was really, really not expecting that. A++, boys.
glee! i went to the paley festival's glee panel which was a delight. it started off with a screening of the most recent episode (the one where kurt and blaine FINALLY kiss) which was followed by a q&a with almost the entire cast in attendance. i feel like i have ~things~ i want to say about this show, but my thoughts are pretty jumbled. basically, i feel like while everyone's been distracted with the will they or won't they (or rather, WHEN will they) storyline regarding kurt and blaine, the writers were able to slip in this other gay storyline without anyone realizing. from early on with the flippant comments about brit and santana having sex yet not being in a relationship to the scissoring bit with sweet lady kisses, and then surprise confessions and declarations of love. i cried so much during that episode. i watched it three times and i can't bear to delete it from my dvr. i love kurt (and blaine), but i find myself more emotionally invested in this relationship. and i find it sort of strange that so much attention is still on the kurt/blaine dynamic and their *gasp* kiss! and yet here, these two girls have been having sex since season one (and presumably before) and have said i love you to each other, and yet... idk, no one cares? i mean, not no one, but... *shrug* i guess maybe that's a good thing, in the end. that it's kind of... inconsequential?
what else. the boys of mcr (and their wives) continue to be my favorites. no real 'news' to report there. eta: gerard will apparently be singing at tonight's DURAN DURAN concert! it seems there will be a livestream of it here. TALK ABOUT WORLDS COLLIDING. you guys, when i was 15, duran duran posters covered my walls. nick and simon were over my bed. ♥__♥ this is really weird for me. and a leeeeetle embarrassing when i stop to think about how little has changed. /o\ ah well, once a fangirl, always a fangirl, i suppose.
