You know what I'd kill for right now?

A sled.

Seriously, my driveway makes for an awesome sledding hill, and tomorrow my landlord is going to plow it, and the sledding ... it shall be ruined.

*sighs wistfully*

I was trying to think of something to do for Valentine's Day aside from, you know, GROUP HUG. *smishes you all* So tomorrow I think I'm doing my very own smutathon. Toss me a pairing and a prompt (except not right now) and I'll write a little something (probably a VERY little something, but still), since I'll be stuck inside all day and all. :)

In fannish and somewhat fannish news --

1. I'm in love with the SPN director's cuts on the CW site. I told my best friend the Sam-girl about the first one and she cannot wait. :)
2. I bought The Departed yesterday and have yet to watch it. Hmm. Maybe later. (I also bought Sliding Doors and Center Stage since they were both five bucks. Yes, y'all, I said Center Stage. Yay for cheesy ballet movies with awful plotlines!)
3. I am buying The Prestige on Tuesday. I have not seen it yet. I have not spoiled myself for it yet, which for me is a MAJOR accomplishment. Anyone spoils it for me and I poke them with a sharp stick repeatedly.

Okay, I've got a question for anyone who knows human resources stuff better than I do. To get paid for holidays where I work, we have to show up and be on time the workday before and the workday after the holiday. To get paid for President's Day I would have had to go in tonight, but obviously the plant has been shut down. So if they close the plant on one of those two days, do you think I'd still get paid for President's Day? (I don't expect to, but I'd like to, you know?)

Find a very large tray and use it to sled! Steal a tray from a fast food joint - I've heard they're passable sleds.

If your company is like mine, you will get the holiday. They credit you for the work day when they close down. I am not an HR person, but I am a manager who has had to learn this stuff and that seems to be the legal thing to do. /disclaimer the HR stuff often make me so frustrated, because the logical, seemingly legal thing is sometimes not the thing that happens. But I think you will get the holiday.

I think you're the only other person in the world (other than me) who loved Center Stage. Mainly I watched it to see Ilia Kulik, because I'm a huge figure skating fan, and then I fell completely in love with the flick in all it's cheesiness, even if the ballet dancers can't act for shit.

a garbage bag, duct tape, and a dismantled cardboard box can do as a sled if you're in a jam. combine with vodka, and it's all the more exciting. ;)

Are you watching me through my windows?! ;)

Seriously, after careful consideration of what I had in my apartment, that's exactly what I did. And vodka! I shall have cherry vodka and coke during Top Design and then go sledding like a five-year-old! *twirls*

To quote a random icon I've seen, The Prestige boiled down to "WOLVERINE!" "BATMAN!" "WOLVERINE!" "BATMAN!" "Ooh, shiny magic trick." "WTF David Bowie!" "BATMAN!" "WOLVERINE!"

Ahh, the wonders of being shallow. n_n

Happy Valentine's Day!

Don't have a sled, how 'bout a snowboard? :)

And yeah, think you'll get paid. If where I worked had shut down, I would get paid. I think it would be considered "an act of God".

And here's a present. :) Not mine, I read & LOL'd. Hope you like.
