We who sit and wait

gwynMy grumpiness continues, as I sit and wait for about 30 separate huge, complex, and detailed files that I have to send to print and proof today, till long into the night and tomorrow night. I hate this hurry up and wait crap, where I'm paralyzed and chained to my desk and completely at the mercy of the production folks.
At least, though, I am not having siezures or going for emergency CT scans or waking up to a dead partner beside me, as has happened to people I know over just this past weekend. I can't believe the terrible things friends have gone through. I did break my little finger, but since I break bones on a seemingly regular basis (though, oddly, I don't really bruise much and the fingers/arms/toes don't really swell), it's not that big of a deal, and hard to tell except for the excrutiating pain when I type (and if my typing is even worse than normal, please forgive me). When I broke my arm a couple years ago, the doctor said he'd never have known it until the x-ray, because there was no bruising at all, and no discernable swelling. Which is weird, because I bruise if you look at me hard, but I think it has to do with how little circulation I have in my farthest appendages. Like, if I'd broken the arm nearer the elbow than to my scrawny wrists, I'd have had big-ass bruises and would swell to pumpkin size. But I'll take a broken or cracked bone, or even a really bad sprain (which, I think, hurt worse than broken bones), over siezures any day!
So, while I wait to wait, I gakked this from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tzikeh because it's mindless and amused me. She listed out shows she has been fannish about over time, and I wondered if I could ever even do that. I know I'll forget some, but what the heck, it's worth a try.
The ones in bold, like tzikeh's, equal shows I didn't just follow religiously, but participated in some way, from archiving to listing to writing to vidding. And also like her, I wonder what ties them together -- because, really, nothing. There's no common thread to what I like and what hits me enough to tip me over into fannishness. This list is about half of what I've watched and loved, but I didn't feel fannish about. Saw every episode of Cheers, for instance, but I would not call myself fannish over it. And this doesn't even go to movies, which is another ball o wax. I'm pretty sure if I saw eps, I'd like Jeremiah and Odyssey 5, and I'm only just started with Carnivale, so am anxious to see if that turns into something good.

Date: 2004-01-20 02:54 pm (UTC)That's just awful ... All of a sudden cancer has hit people I know (or their relatives) at work and on LJ pretty hard. It's bad :-(
I did break my little finger,
Oh no! Glad you're not in a lot of pain ... and your typing is just fine, btw ;-)
Reilly, Ace of Spies
Yes! I adored that series (and especially Sam Neil). Did you ever write fanfic for that show?

And I have this to say about Carnivale - you have to give it the full first season. Do not bail in the first bunch of episodes. If you watch the entire season and aren't hooked, I'll refund your money. ;)

Date: 2004-01-21 01:38 am (UTC)Another Alias Smith and Jones and High Chaparral fan. I loved those two series. They've reshown both of them here (UK) reasonably recently and both stood up to the test of time very well. Another reason that I mourned the loss of Firefly was that it was the closest I've been able to get to a western for years.
