I'm very pissed off right now, but to spare you all a rant (with footnotes!), I will say only this. To all of you writers. And especially, especially to writers who write things that appear on national television. Some fucking self-respect. Have it. ( Edit. )Okay. That's a little better.

Alright, I need some help with this.
When I was younger I read an old school science fiction novel, something that I'd place as having been written in the 50s/60s or maybe before. I absolutely can't remember the title, author, or the names of any characters, but I remember the plot.
In the future there's a planet of super elite mercenary soldiers who call themselves Legionnaires and can be hired to fight (and usually win) wars on behalf of clients, but reserve the right to turn down dishonorable requests. One passed over client exacts his revenge by sending a shipment of something irradiated down to the planet's surface, infecting everything. A small group of Legionnaires are away on a mission at the time, and one ship in particular is late catching up to them, so while the rest of his group lands (including his lover, I think) he is still in orbit and told that he has to get away and take revenge for the infected and slowly dying planet. The man does, reluctantly, as he's now the last Legionnaire in the galaxy, but finds out that he'd already gotten too close to his homeworld and is slowly dying of radiation himself. In the course of getting his revenge he finds himself followed by something, a shadow with wings, and ends up getting kidnapped. He wakes up in the care of an old man (I think) and the shadow, a winged, one eyed female alien with a name like Oorl or Quirl. The old man tells the Legionnaire that he's replaced his bones and organs with new ones, saving him from the radiation, and wants him to partner with the alien and I can't even remember, fight crime or something. This may or may not have been a series.
ANYONE REMEMBER THIS? Mon, Oct. 26th, 2009, 01:06 pm

Okay so anyway, health insurance disaster is taken care of as far as I know, graduation disaster is. Going to be taken care of on Nov. 6, since that's the earliest I can get into the CLA office for an appointment for something I already did.
Employment disaster seems to be in the clear for now. The court date was the 22nd, and corporate has a week to pay the landlord all the backdated rent. They told him they were intending to pay today but no one has contacted us to confirm that they did, so we'll see.
Other employment disaster probably doesn't constitute as a disaster, but still no offer from the company owner that he said he'd be making in mid-October. On the other hand, I'm too fucking busy to start right now anyway.
Schoolwork disaster is never not a disaster haha *cancels all weekend plans*
I've been informed that I turn into a raging bitch when I'm stressed out and you know what? Really? REALLY? Is it now my womanly duty to be all sweetness and light for your peace of mind when my life is progressively getting more full of shit every second? Yeah I'm stressed. A lot of goddamned people are stressed, and they're going to be raging bitches about it too. Getting sulky because I'm 'being mean' does not actually make me want to try to be even-tempered, believe it or not. Tue, Oct. 20th, 2009, 05:19 pm

Alright, I'm starting a meme. 1. Post this in your journal. 2. Everyone who comments to that post must do so with images, not words, although you can use macros. The original poster can have a starting image if they like. 3. Have a conversation/tell a story via these images (if you can) 4. When you and/or your commenters get tired of spamming, summarize the conversation/tell what you thought you guys were talking about/let someone else tell what they thought you were talking about.( And get my friends free cable. It's BAD. ASS. )

You'll be greatly missed, Mr. Swayze.
I went to see 9 last night, and I can only imagine that the disturbing horror that was my dream this morning was somehow influenced by that movie and also by Coraline. ( Read more... ) Thu, Sep. 10th, 2009, 09:58 am
