"we deal in lead friend"  
So my one uncle is moving to Colorado. Again. Lets see how long this move lasts.

Anyway, the entire east coast family met at the farm. That's seven, including myself. Eight if you count the aunt's boyfriend. Not too bad, our times overlapped for only a few hours.

NOW, the health inspector's here. The 'rents were a little freaked out yesterday about this. But as I was typing this up, Mom came in a told me she may be freaking the inspector out a bit - metioning her trip to the White House to talk about the future of farming, the awards for environmental excellence they've won, and other assorted name drops. GO MOM. :P




Fandom wise, I haven't had much time to do anything. Or post anything I should say. I wrote those notes for a fic (apparently I'm producing every like two years or so?) that I then left at work. I've had some AWESOME conversations with people about various genres. I've been living with my Dad this summer, and actually have someone that I can pick apart movies/TV with - mom has never really gone for it. There's also my favorite couple at work that I wait on. I sat down with them on my break and discussed Avengers/Whedon & Promethus/Aliens. Then we discussed noir and westerns - he's trying to start their ~15 son on both. We were discussing our favs of course; they're not particually fond of John Wayne. WTF? And they've started him on The Good, The Bad and the Ugly - which is STUPID. Do you realize how BORING that is if your not into westerns and are age 15? gah. Start with The Cowboys, or Silverado, or YOU KNOW MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. :D They liked that idea, cause then, as I always recommend, you can compare it to Seven Samurai and start on Kurosawa :D

I put in an app for for [livejournal.com profile] pentapus's round 2 of Treehouse ReverseBang. WE WILL SEE.

I have both my [livejournal.com profile] dc_dystopia fics to read and make art for :D Currently downloading Microsoft Office to the new computer so I can read them!

I have to catch up on [community profile] thefandomzoo entries. NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY.




Off to make turnovers/samosas for the company picnic next weekend. I'll make the dough and filling today, bake them on Sunday morning.

Oh, did your co-worker find your notes?

That's terribly cool that you sat with those people and discussed film noir and westerns. I am so loving the Mag7 -> Kurosawa suggestion. Clever girl.

How are you liking the fandom zoo (besides needing more time)? Fun? Challenging?

I don't know, Monday is my day off! I'm working at my dad's office in a temp job so I REALLY hope she doesn't hand them to my dad :/

I <3 this couple. I can talk about everything under the with them. And now that I have a functioning computer again, I'm going to do that Magnificent Seven/Seven Samurai picspam I've been ploting for YEARS.

Fandomzoo is a whole lot of fun. Not terriably challenging, but a lot of fun. I like that I can use *anything*, not limited to a show or a genre or something.

Did you hear that sound? That was my supersonic squee. I'm pretty sure dogs in Ecuador heard my squee. *waits for picspam*

Re: ...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
YES. *fistpump* I've got at least two people interested in this idea now. IT'S COMING. Obviously, it requires a rewatch of both movies. Not that I'm complaining :) expect by end of summer!

I <3 YOUR ICON. I NEED TO GO SNAG A WHOLE BUNCH OF YOURS, NEXT CHANCE I GET. (remind me why I thought it was a good idea to delete my M7 icons?)

Re: ...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
You need more M7 in your life! Pick me, pick meeee, I can supply that!

Feel free to pilfer any icons, including my personal ones. I'm all up for sharing everything! When you do that picspam make sure you share it here:

Re: ...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
TOTALLY. part of the problem is sort of leaving fandom (in general not just M7) :/ I used to be more active, even ran a M7 icon challenge over on LJ. i maaay be easing back into it. maybe more meta and art than attempts at fic this time around?

You have this awesome B&W icon of Vin on the roof - totally stealing that. And I saw the daybook last night! totally going to stalk that one and troll the memories.
