corilannamI haven't been posting much lately, because I've been pretty constantly exhausted for the last couple weeks, and it takes energy to think of random interesting things that other people might actually want to read. So I gave up on the interesting, and now you're stuck with just the random things part.
* My story for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
takethehouse is going suspiciously well. But the deadline is still a week away, which means that there's still plenty of time for my usual panic freeze. I expected it before this, is all. The only bad thing is that I cannot remember what I did with my Ocean's 11 DVD.
* I just found out that as of Sunday, the bus that goes by my complex will not exist anymore. There have been no signs posted or announcements made anywhere a regular rider of this bus might see it -- I suppose the suspicious lack of new schedules for that route was supposed to tip us off. Fortunately, they've rerouted a completely different route, which previously came nowhere near where I live, to service our little street. Unfortunately, it's going to add about 20 minutes to my commute.
This new bus also happens to be the bus that goes right by the Motor Vehicle Administration. I suspect this may be God's way of telling me to get the hell over my panicky nerves and just get my damn driver's license. (yes, in my head, God swears mildly at me).
* Reason #479 Why I Adore Simon le Bon: Simon le Bon: You Ask the Questions
A sample --
Q: Is it true that you nearly drowned on the video set for The Wild Boys?
A: No, it's not. People think that because I was strapped to a windmill and my head went underwater, it was really dangerous, but it wasn't. Of course, when we get asked this question in interviews, Nick Rhodes always says: "Well, we've got the DVD now so, if you pause it, you can keep his head underwater for as long as you want." Which I think is so crass, but he thinks it's funny! He says it in almost every interview. I think repeating yourself is a sign of old age, telling the same joke again and again. Especially if they're jokes that don't make people laugh. Yeah, you've really been trying with that one, Nick, but you've gotta give it up.
* I am now two episodes behind on House. Contrary to some opinion, this is not the fault of the Duran Duran obsession. I did, however, watch NCIS last night, and mentally, I'm still back in front of the television set, staring at the screen and blinking.
* Serenity tomorrow night! Wheee!
