Fuckity.

My afternoon has not been good. First I found out that the remodel/addition won't start now until likely second week of September. This means no painting of the house till next year, and no furnace in the colder months. But they only just got the permits, and it wasn't like they could keep a crew around waiting for the city to deign to give me permits, so they're on another job till early Sept. I am so, so bummed. But at least it gives me some more time to haul things out of here.

Then I found out from Morgan Dawn's posts that Imeem has baleeted a bunch of vids from numerous vidders' sites, including mine. I'm missing at least two I know of, my BSG vid for Digging in the Dirt and my LoM vid for I'm Immortal. Even if it's a glitch in the system, that means my comments and view counts are gone. Dirt was the most-viewed vid on the site.

And to top it off, I just realized I'm coming down with a cold. So I'll be in full-blown worst phase travelling to VVC. And no one will want to come near me because I'm sick! Gah. OTOH I got to watch Charlie Jade tonight and have tasty pizza and whine about fandom with movies michelle, gattagrigia, and feochadn, which is always nice.

In honor of the characters of color, I give you my Native boyfriend Eric Schweig (okay, ONE of my Native boyfriends), as Pike Dexter in Big Eden. I worship him.

Ugh, my sympathies on the suspicious deletions. Every time I think, "Oh, Imeem's not so bad, all the cool kids are doing it, I should too" something like this comes along.

I hope you are mostly over the ick by VVC!

You probably won't be very contagious by Friday. I'll still talk to you.

Few posts are as worthy of that subject line as this! :( Sorry hon. Here's hoping tomorrow goes better. (And ingest lots of OJ and vitamin C.)

As I am just getting over the cold from hell, you're stuck with me at Vividcon. I do not fear your germs. :)

I've never ever heard of anyone's remodeling going according to schedule. I don't know what it is. Much sympathy on the delay for no good reason.

As for VVC, if I were going, I wouldn't let something silly like a cold get in the way of spending time with you. You're not so contagious once it's full-blown anyway.

And I still need to find out about Big Eden from you. It looks very interesting.

And Charlie Jade. That was the other one we wanted to get information from you about.

I am happy to give fountains of information. what do you need/want? Charlie is not so easly available, but Big Eden at least is widely available here.

I saw feochadn's post. We're going to get Charlie that way. After we've seen them, I'm going to be looking for recs.
