stripedtabbySo, some personal things first. I applied for unemployment, and got granted funds. I need to keep a log of three possible job applications that i've applied for, every week, for audits. Not bad actually, specially with the holidays coming around. I kinda want to apply at the chocolate store, because i've started to have this weird fascination with cooking and being a chef. I dont know why, it's just one of those phases actually. i'm looking forward to calling a secondary school called Mid-Valley Academy for a teachers aid. they're asking for someone with an associates in art. so, why not. only concern there, is that this is a secondary school, and it's for the difficult kids. I don't know what to expect really. But hey, it's a job, right? I also need to apply for finaid, and see if i can go to school in the spring semester. I really need to file that asap. I'll call up Dad tomorrow. and, i want to take a jewelry making class. i really loved the metal work i did a few years back. i like working with my hands.
GnG:
i need to set aside enough money to award the winner of the last contest. :| i'm such a horrible mod, i swear.
Supernatural
Tomorrow is the next episode of Supernatural! I'm torn with this season, so so much. I'm either going, "DEAN DEAN STAP IT. STAP IT" or going, "BOYS. BOYS STAP IT. STAP IT" Leviathans. YEA. What happened to that plot? I mean, yes, I do enjoy the monster of the week plot, because its Season One and Two all over again, and it's nice to see the boys just hunt things. BUT. THE LEVIATHANS ARE KINDA TAKING OVER SHIT EVERYWHERE. That's a big plot that they're not addressing. Not at all. I also miss Cas. For the writers to say that, "Oh, the boys will grieve cas in the episodes" and then just, give us everything except grieve Cas? Castiel fell for them. He sacrificed so so much. He killed his brothers, went against God to protect the only friends he had I would really like some plot now, thank you. Tumblr is a horrible place to be during Fridays. I've learned to stay away, and am thankful that I don't follow too many SPN blogs because of the shit wars that happen every Friday night and don't get let go until the following Friday. Either way, the fandom is pretty awesome. I'm hoping to do more and expand myself with them.
The Walking Dead
Can I just say how much I love this show? Seriously. I can see where I'm at right now in the graphic novels, and I love all the other filler that's been happening. I think it's fresh to have that original storyline, while still using the novel. It gives for better suspense and growth and just all sorts of aldkfjaslkdfj. Also, the kills of the week are fucking amazing. The Well kill? OH GOOD GOD. That one still gets me. I love how graphic they are. This would never fly on the local channels, so I'm thrilled that AMC picked it up. I can't wait till next Sunday to see what they're going to do.
Dexter
HOLY HELL THIS SEASON. I can't stop gushing over it, I really can't. Sunday's episode had me grinning like an idiot the whole way through, I can't stand it. The big bad, is amazing. And crazy and perfect and fuck those who complain about the religious overtones. That is the point of the season. People that complain about a key feature in this season, clearly aren't watching the same show. Dexter is the still the same. The big bad's Kills though, creative genius, its scary really. Also, a familiar face was in this episode, and it made it that much fun. So so much fun. This Sunday is going to be interesting, super interesting because I want to see how they'll set up the next Kill for the Big Bad. HNNGH.
Grimm
It's starting to get interesting, seriously. I didn't think I would enjoy it, but, they are finally introducing a hint of a plot, and I might stick around to watch it. I like cop shows, and I like supernatural things. Like I said before, this is a perfect mix of the two. Don't see myself getting too too involved though. My mom enjoys it, so that's why I make an effort to watch with her. Gotta love that bonding time.
Okay, so this is it. Back at the end of August, I signed up for a mysterious thing called GISHWHES code name: Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen. I started a catch all blog, to decode all of the strange twitter riddles that @mishacollins, @missjeanlouis and @whatisgishwhes were letting out. September comes along, and I'm finding out connections for the golden number, marcel duchamp, modern art and hints of a scavenger hunt. 300 followers later, and we come to the end of the beginning.
Misha releases an email, saying that we're participating in a grand event that will become a world record. The record we're going to make and break? The Largest Digital Scavenger Hunt Ever.
Also, for almost a month of trying to connect imaginary blocks, it simply turns out, that the first riddle mentioned, was the answer we were looking for all along. "Guinness" as in Guinness beer and oh, look at that. Guinness World Records.
It's all very confusing, and everything, but, this is going to be so much fun.
So, what's happened with this so far? WELL. The main site we've been watching, gishwhes.com starts to redirect you to:
greatestinternationalscavengerhunttheworldhaseverseen.com
yea. its a mouthful.
there, we were asked to join officially in breaking this record. So, me and my sister, along with a few choice people have teamed together to win this thing, and spend three days in a fancy hotel in Rome, all expenses paid, and eat a lovely dinner with Misha Collins.
we have a team of 10 (and out of 6000 participants, this is pretty awesome) and each one, was a key member in the first initial findings of gishwhes. We are a strong group, and the communication between us is amazing. I've only met these people, but, I can tell that we're going to have an interesting week to get things done.
Now that I've gushed again about the beginning of the hunt. Can I just say that the RULES of this game have me going What the actual FUCK and I should expect this, this is Misha Fucking Collins
Let me just, copy+paste a few of these rules:
5.Complaining: Any whining, whimpering, yelling, screaming, crying, tantrum-throwing, challenging or contesting the judges or contest results will result in immediate disqualification and revocation of your GISHWHES citizenship. Seduction, however, is allowed under certain circumstances.
14.Leashes: No photo or video of a submitted item can show a leashed dog. Leashed cats and leashed Iguanas, however, are fine.
17. Leashes: No photo or video of a submitted item can show a leashed dog. Leashed cats and leashed Iguanas, however, are fine.
19. Shaving: During the term of the event, Men can shave everywhere except a quarter-sized circle on the left cheek. Women, armpits only. For both women and men, leg hair must be allowed to flourish.
23.Kosher Foods: From the time The Hunt begins, to the time it is finished, you are not permitted to eat raw or steamed okra, (deep fried is acceptable), liver pâté (of any kind), or salt cod. If anyone on your team is caught eating any of the offending foods during the Hunt, your team will be docked 30 points.
24.Prostitution: You are not permitted to sell sex for money during The Hunt unless you live in Amsterdam, Nevada or with your therapist.
27.Attire: Any and all attire is allowable except for Ponchos and ascots.
As of right now, my team isn't official, and we're just hoping to be put in the same team. I am simply waiting for an email from Misha, and an update from the site, in order to get my ass in gear. This calls for a update on my chalkboard. Woo!
Okay, I've been writing this one damn journal for over two hours now, and i'm pretty sure that crossposting settings are going to hate me for having so many cuts.
Anyway, I have to do dishes right now. Also, I need to start uploading my art onto this thing again. Oops.
Also! Anyone that has a Dreamwidth is welcome to friend me! --> stripedtabby.dreamwidth.org <--
