Wii Fit Challenge~: You dirty, rotten cheater! [29 Nov 2009|11:28pm] stopthatgirl7 [ music | Nickelback - Never Again ] Time spent: 1:04 Calories burned: 289 BMI: 29.07 This game is a dirty, rotten cheater! ARGH! As an addendum to the "likes to kill you by making you plummet to your death" thing. I learned today in the CHEATING ROTTEN obstacle course game that it also likes to flatten your Mii like a pancake by making logs roll over it. And I cry FOUL FOUL FOUL to some of my Mii getting clobbered by a pendulum; I said to jump, dangit. And WTFBBQ to me supposedly losing 1.1 kilo in a day. A day I spent stuffing my face with grits. I'm going to chalk that up to me having not had dinner, since the aforementioned grits left me stuffed to the gills. I didn't even get hungry until, of course, two minutes after I started exercising (I popped a sweet potato in the oven and let it bake while I was exercising. Mmmm, sweet potato.) Also, my arms and legs want to fall off and diiiiie. *death* 4 comments|post comment

Wii Fit Challenge~: Plummet and Die [29 Nov 2009|12:15am] stopthatgirl7 [ music | Darius Rucker - I Hope They Get to Me in Time ] Time spent: 1:00 Calories burned: 287 BMI: 29.44 Yup, weight went up again, but I ate a Southern Breakfast (tm)--cheesy grits and real sausage and ate ramen for dinner; this is not a shock. It's also not that upsetting, since I'm viewing things as a restart--I slacked off, I did exercises that were ineffective, and so now I'm starting over. I'm not going to worry unless I start going up for a week straight. The cycling game can blow me. I'm not even kidding. I wandered around the area trying to find the last two flags, then said "Fuck this," and quit the game. I had been doing it for about fifteen minutes, and it counted none of that time. asdfghjkl; I'll do the short course; the long courses can SUCK IT. GAH. ( Also, Wii Fit has a perverse love of making your Mii die spectacularly ) 2 comments|post comment

Wii Fit Challenge~: My Mii commited suicide... [28 Nov 2009|12:12am] stopthatgirl7 [ music | LOVE PSYCHEDELICO - Last Smile ] Exercise Time: 1:05 Calories burned: 278 BMI: 29.34 (boooo~. But it's no one's fault but my own. ^^;; And I'm still lower than when I started out, so no complaints yet--ask me in a week) Yeah, I gained weight back, but looking at the last week, I can totally understand why. With the total pigging out that was last weekend and last night (it was a 3-day weekend and friends came to visit last weekend, and yesterday I went out with people to the yummiest Indian place ever and ate far too much cheese naan) and the sheer lack of exercising I've been doing (I didn't do any Wii Fit the whole time I had people here, or the day after because my living room was still set up for having guests and not for me to be able to exercise, so I didn't do anything but walking for five days [busted Balance Board and also laziness] and yesterday [I was so stuffed my stomach cried at the thought], yeah, I can see why. I kinda winced and went, "Yeah, yeah, I get it. No more slacking off." So to make up for it, I made sure to put in 275 calories, since that seemed to be the magic number. I have to get back in the exercising habit, so I have to make things enjoyable. So I did the step dance thing, and the "rhythm king fu" thing and the marching band thing, and the obstacle course thing (I WAS SO CLOSE *sob*). Then for shits and giggles, I did the "cycling" game, and unlocked the longer course. And went, "Heh, let's try that!" ( OMFG MISTAAAAKE~. ) 3 comments|post comment

oh hell yes, I have a Snuggie [26 Nov 2009|09:51pm] ponderosa121 [ mood | touched ] We went down to Salinas to J's sister's new place, and holy crap is it huge. It's got a nifty layout, and infinitely more space than their old house. We hadn't seen Natalie since before she was walking so it took a while for her to stop giving J and I the suspicious eye, but by the end of the night it was lots of carry-me arms, and where Sophie is usually all about her Uncle J, somehow this time I ended up with her hanging on me more often than not. I suspect it was that I was wearing a pink shirt so that boosted my coolness rating. It's interesting to see the ways her personality has changed now that she's a big sister. Sometimes I wish we lived a bit closer in order to visit more often. Anyway, we hung out, ate food, played with dolls, tried to devise a plan to steal their adorable pug, and at the end of the evening I got the bonus of belated b-day gifts. See subject. I have also increased my fuzzy scarf collection by one, so I should probably put out some of the ones I don't wear often out onto the curb. The drive was nice, and J and I talked a lot about the ways in which we'd like to focus on our projects for school and general creative things. I'm back to having a solid idea of where to go with my current assignments so I'm feeling very rejuvenated about them. Which is good, as I need to be doubly-focused this weekend, since I didn't actually get any extra days off, and the lab is closed tomorrow which is typically my dedicated time to go in and work all day on my homework! post comment

Behold, the single most horrifying thing I have seen in a long, long time. [26 Nov 2009|01:29am] stopthatgirl7 [ music | Michael Jackson - Wanna Be Starting Something ] Bayonetta's "sexy dancing." I spent the whole clip of this like this: D: and going, "What am I watching?! DDDD:" Speaking of wrong...y'all have to see this to believe it, too. Chinese card game that rips off...you won't even believe it. >XD 2 comments|post comment

One more month... [26 Nov 2009|01:11am] stopthatgirl7 [ music | Grégory Lemarchal - 5 - il n'y a qu'un pas ] Squeenix just put out the last FF13 trailer. I'd embed, but they're being "no embed!" jerks, so here's a link to the FF13 website, and you can watch it there. ...Yun Fang is going in my party at all times once I have her as a member. Because she is awesome. You can also see the new Cid, and OMFG HAAAAWT. *drool* (trust me, watch the trailer; the screencaps do nothing.) ETA! I love the internet. 2 comments|post comment

Wii Fit Challenge~: Yay, new balance board! [25 Nov 2009|11:17pm] stopthatgirl7 Time spent: 36 min Calories burned: 161 Current BMI: 29.2 I have a new balance board! And it works wonderfully! This makes me happy. Today was the first "Getting back to basics" day, and OMFG, I can feel such a difference doing exercise-exercise instead of "fat burning" exercise. Mainly in that I am sore. I am very, very sore. My inner thighs are mutinying, and when the game suggested I could now do 30 jackknifes instead of 20, I went, out loud, no joke, "Oh HELL no!" Twenty is still pushing it and my abdominal muscles hate me. Also, the game lies like a lying thing. I did the obstacle course thing and was nearly done, and apparently I jumped for real (I was mid-run when a log came at me). This makes the game force quit, admonish you, and start over. And when you start over, it does not count all the calories you burned before. So the "calories burned" is a lie. Bastard. I was SO CLOSE to beating the game; I will make it my bitch, oh yes. XD I am sweaty and gross and when the game said, "If you feel tired, it's important to rest!" I took it as a sign. So the water for my bath is running, and once this is done I will go slouch in the bath and let my stress melt away. And hopefully some of the OW PAIN OW from actual exercise will melt away with it.

x_x [25 Nov 2009|03:19am] blue_soaring I have never had so many WIPs at once EVER. Between fannish glee and original pursuits, I have... TEN on the go at once. Okay, geez, I didn't think it was that many when I went to count. And not WIP as in, paused and will perhaps never finish WIP (though I have a few of those now and it is also a new experience for me) but stories that I'm actively WORKING on. This makes me CAPSLOCK for EXCESSIVE EMPHASIS like I'm HARRY freakin' POTTER. It's enjoyable to have so much that makes me go sdkjls, but I sorta miss my hardcore focus of hardcoreness. I probably am getting just as much or more done, but it feels like less when I don't have a tidy sequential to do list to check off. Talk, talk, talktalktalk. Hello, insane hour of the morning. I think I saw you here the same time yesterday, imagine that. Originally posted at Dreamwidth here. Please comment there using OpenID or ask me for an invite code. :3 post comment

Fic: Quality Assurance - Tony/Remy (1/1) [24 Nov 2009|06:50pm] blue_soaring And now, porn. My excuse is Tony. Quality Assurance Marvel movieverse (Iron Man, X-Men). Tony/Remy. NC-17. ~3800 words. For 'aphrodisiacs' on my kink_bingo card. The syringe was loaded, ready and waiting on the low coffee table beside the spread of cards and scatter of half-empty bottles. ( Read me. ) post comment

in order to avoid homework [22 Nov 2009|04:55pm] ponderosa121 bulletpoints! - Although I managed surprisingly well on cards last year, there's no way I'm going to manage this year. I'm slightly bummed about this, but I think I'll just resolve to send more random letters throughout the year as that's way more fun to receive. - I made adorable cupcakes at work again. I wish I had an excuse to make them at home, or a whole lot more people to foist them off on. - The last two episodes of Fringe made me all excited and giddy, even with a brief Not Sure If Want moment in there. I need to get over my tendency to want to fit things neatly in canon and just write the smushy porn that I want to write. - There is absolutely no way to reply to an anon thread with you as the subject without a) being a dick, b) encouraging the drama, and c) being a dick. I replied anyway. - There is absolutely no way to blog/tweet/mention replying to an anon thread with you as the subject without encouraging the drama and being a bit of a dick, but it made me laugh. Oh, people. - I had this big complicated adventure dream with JDM in it last night. It was awesome. Then I had to get up and go to work, which was less awesome, even though our new brunch cook made me Huevos for breakfast. - Speaking of our new cook, she's been teaching J how to make stuff. Including this awesome grilled tomato salsa which is downstairs right now, calling to me. She's the best. - I severely need a nap, but if I sleep now I'll wake up at the time which I should be going to bed. Conflict. 5 comments|post comment

[FIC] Batman - Batman/Joker - The Frayed Ends [20 Nov 2009|05:31pm] ponderosa121 [ mood | calm ] Spam! Wrote this not long after TDK came out but never posted it. Since the evil twin just wrote Joker/Scarecrow with similar elements, I knew I had to post it as the same time as hers or I'd never do it. Team Porn does Arkham. Arharhrh. The Frayed Ends Batman. Batman/Joker. R. ~1000 words. Nolanverse. Violence. Darkness gathers into a swarm around them and Bruce doesn’t want to let the bastard take one more goddamn breath. ( Read Me. ) post comment

Fic: The Looking Glass - Joker/Crane (1/1) [20 Nov 2009|05:27pm] blue_soaring I have so many shiny new obsessions. I'm going to die waiting for the 34227 comic book movies coming out over the next few years. Yay for evil twins that make my Joker extra shiny and who writes Batman/Joker over here: The Frayed Ends. :D The Looking Glass Batman Begins. Joker/Crane. NC-17. ~2000 words. Breathplay. Joker fit his fingers one by one to Jonathan's throat. ( Read me. ) post comment

[ART] Steve & Tony Warmup Drawing [20 Nov 2009|02:31pm] ponderosa121 [ mood | geeky ] Just a little something to get me in the groove for doing homework. Done without access to my usual brushes so there are several big things that make me go DDDD:, but I didn't want to spend more than an hour on this. Warmup means warmup, Pondy. Avengers. Steve/Tony.

Sad, yo. But also LOL. [21 Nov 2009|01:19am] stopthatgirl7 [ music | Nickelback - Savin Me ] If y'all haven't seen this, well, apparently Microsoft is ripping off Apple and opening "Microsoft Stores." The stores look, well...like a ripped-off Apple Store, and the ubercool Apple Store in Shinsaibashi laughs in it's face. Anyone, some astroturf blogger just happened to have a camcorder with him the day he just happened to go to the Microsoft Store, and on a day when the staff just happened to break out into a completely unplanned and unchoreographed 4-plus-minute line dance to a Black Eyed Peas song. Yeah, this dude wasn't getting paid. Suuure. And was a hardcore Mac guy until his life changing trip to the magical land of singing and dancing techies at the Microsoft Store. Riiiiiight. (We'll just ignore all the talk on being a Vista beta tester on a link ON THE SAME PAGE). Really, all that needs to be said about this sad spectacle is said at minute 2:14 of the video. Watch the woman in the white shirt veeeeery carefully. She says it all, really. XD 5 comments|post comment

Today's Awesome [21 Nov 2009|12:01am] stopthatgirl7 [ music | Ben Folds - Levi Johnston's Blues ] This is a Bad Idea. Other people clearly think this as well. How do I know this? Check out the "Customer images" and customer-given tags. XDDDDDDD And for the best "Passive Aggressive Note" EVAR. Check out the note in the third picture. AWESOME. 2 comments|post comment

Wii Fit Challenge~: The Balance Board is indeed busted [20 Nov 2009|11:47pm] stopthatgirl7 [ music | Les Miserables - Proloog ] So the game tells me I have gained more weight--half a kilo, and I'm going >:( at it. And vowing once again to go back to the muscle training and yoga, since obviously that was what was working. But I am, to be honest, somewhat perplexed, and decide the sudden input of potatoes into my diet must be the factor to blame, sigh, and decide fiiiiine, no more starchy foods. I start up the step dance thing, and it tells me "Please get off the balance board." And I look at it blankly and go, "I AM off the board." After several retries and finally getting it to register that I am not, in fact, standing on the board, I start the game, and it's making me as missing damned near everything. And I'm going, "...OK, you're broken. You are very broken. :/" I have to go into Kyoto anyway, and I still have my receipt, so I'll try to get a new board and see if that helps explain the insane things it's been telling me, like the day it decided I lost nearly a kilo and a half (and the day I went, "You are FULL OF LIES") and why it's decided all of a sudden that I have chubbed up and my balance has gone to shit again. Hopefully, it's more a mechanical problem than me being full of fail. :/ post comment

Things what I have been doing [19 Nov 2009|08:09pm] ponderosa121 [ mood | accomplished ] Attended a benefit dinner last night with J, maiki, and Susan for a non-profit that we've done a lot of work for. Materials that both Susan and I had designed were all over the place and it was really nice to see it all out and looking snazzy. Susan's done a lot to get their informational materials/reports looking clean and professional. I did the benefit's programs, invites, and carried over from last year was a set of promotional posters which I'm still proud of. The project, per usual, made me gnash my teeth at times, but I do enjoy working for them, and it was flattering when people whom I didn't expect compliments from told me they were impressed by the invitations in particular. :D Leading up I had this worry about the pagination on the program booklet since I worked entirely remotely and never saw a proof (or even had time to run one myself!) but everything turned out beautifully and typo-free. By this point, I've done enough recent work to have a solid design portfolio again, so with so few classes left ahead of me it's nice to have that in addition to what's shaping up to go on my reel. I didn't mingle much, as J and I were introduced to some great people early on and there was no incentive to bother straying away from the interesting conversation to rub elbows with people outside my industry. It was somewhat fascinating attending something like this after so long, and also after now having worked on catering from the serving end! The appetizers, by the way, were awesome. I wish we offered some of them on our own menu, especially the warm cranberries and almonds in phyllo cups. Yum. My shoes were remarkably comfortable. I haven't worn actual heels in forever and it's nice to confirm that my knee can handle hours standing around in 3" heels. 1 comment|post comment

[FIC] X-men RPS - Hugh/Liev/Taylor - Boys' Club [19 Nov 2009|05:10pm] ponderosa121 [ mood | lazy ] This was supposed to be anon commentporn, but then it wasn't fulfilling what the OP had asked for so I wrote it for Blue instead. Boys' Club X-men RPS. Hugh Jackman/Liev Schrieber/Taylor Kitsch. NC-17. 3400 words. God, tonight he'd be a slut for it if that's what they wanted. ( Read Me. ) 2 comments|post comment
