Let's roadtrip
Nov. 10th, 2008 01:00 pmSo I purchased gasoline for my car yesterday at $1.82/gallon! I can't even remember when it was that low. I guess that is one good thing to come out of this economic crisis.
Have you ever really really wanted to like a CD but just can't? Usually if I'm not that impressed and I listen a few more times then it grows on me but ..... I really really do not like This Is Ivy League. I've got it loaded on my work computer and every time one of the songs from that album cycles through I listen for about 30 seconds and then have to change it. I'm going to have to completely remove it from my player. I can't even make it through the entire album to see if maybe there is one song on there I could like. It's just so totally out of the realm of what I normally listen to that I can't switch gears. Sorry Alex and Ryland, no can do.
It's finally turned into fall around here. Today actually feels almost like winter. We're in the 40s and it's raining. Yuck. Days like this I'm glad I can't see outside from my office.
My fanfic reading has taken a strange turn. Every once in a while I go off on these tangents and read old fandoms but this time I started out reading a Bandom/SGA crossover then a SGA/NCIS crossover then wound up on an authors website and started in on some X-files fic. I've been wandering around X-files fiction for over a week for no really good reason other than I'm stuck in a Skinner mood. (I've been reading het fic OMG!) I did the same thing with Sentinel a couple of months ago. I spent a good week reading Sentinel/SG-1 crossovers. Of course I've never seen a Sentinel episode so all my knowledge is based on fic. The bad part of this is that both X-files and Sentinel are pretty dead as far as new fic goes so I keep running into dead links or unfinished stories marked as WIP. It's been kind of frustrating. It's nice to have such good resources in Bandom and SGA, I know where to go to find the 'good fic.'
