It's Not Easy Being Green

Okay, I told steeleblue I'd post this last night but I got lazy and didn't.

So my computer's poor hard drive has completely died, and until recently I was mostly on my iPad, which is hard to post from. I've got Mitchell's computer set up now, so I'll try to get the other two SPACE tour posts up, but I won't be able to finish the masterpost without my own iTunes and Photoshop, unfortunately. So I'm dependant on waiting for Mitchell to fix my computer.

Meanwhile...I have a job interview on Tuesday! Also, this:

Funniest thing on TV this week: ( Community spoilers )

So I'm doing Cookin 101, in spite of the outcome of the poll and all that, because it turns out the other class is a) much further away from me and b) on an inconvenient night. Thursday nights work better for me than Wednesday nights.

So I've been thinking of taking a cooking class and lamenting the fact that I couldn't find one to do in Canberra, even with all my Google-fu.

AND THEN, yesterday, a flyer came in the mail for a previous tenant of my apartment - and it was offering a whole bunch of courses, including cooking classes! It's like a scientific coincidence that I will choose to interpret as fate! There are two classes run by the same guy that are the same price and go for seven weeks. Now, the obvious choice would be Cooking 101, but I REALLY want to take the "Cooking for Blokes" class because:
a) I don't like the idea of being excluded based on my gender and
b) it might be a good way to meet guys.

SO WHICH CLASS SHOULD I DO?

[Poll #1781143]

Keep in mind I'm also actually unemployed right now, but I do have a fair bit of money and this course costs much, much less than even my rent for one week. It works out at less than $50 a week.

Best Week Ever poses the question, is Darren Criss perfect? I created an account to type "Yes".


See?



Been laid off, I have 4 more weeks in my job and I'm in Melbourne for most of next week. I need to look at jobs. I knew this was coming, I'm much less upset about it than I thought I would be - which is partly because there's a much, much bigger payout than I thought there would be (redundancy package of two weeks and long service leave for about 7 years). Still, it's upsetting, I do love my job.

I'm going to take a moment to do a couple of rants.

1. I am sick of everyone in the USA, in the state Darren is in, whining about not being able to go see Darren. It's true, I could have gone to see him in America, but I would have actually gone into debt if I had. Not being able to see him because you can't be assed to go out in the heat, or didn't know about it (the information's been available for ages - if I'm in Australia and knew about it, you could've), or it's a whole three hours away, or you had to work (TAKE THE DAY OFF) is just not good enough, and it makes me angry. Hell, I'm angry at MYSELF for not going and I would be actually broke if I had gone.

2. I'm enjoying this meme so much.

3. I put too much garlic in my bolognaise.

4. They're trying to demote/fire me again at work, which is frustrating and a bit demoralising, but I need to start looking for other jobs. This is scary to me. I love my job, and I don't know if I'd be good at something else.

5. Throughout the entire Six Flags Fiesta Texas show Darren has a bit of hair sticking up on the right side of his head. I reeeeally want to squish it down. It's adorable, but also frustrating.

Starkid at Leaky Con audio masterpost. You'll never guess what I'm listening to right now.

LAUREN LOPEZ IS IN 'STRUCK BY LIGHTNING'. WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY? (Q&A in which Chris confirmed.)

Sound check from St. Louis and the whole damn concert.


This is probably my favourite live Darren version so far. Firstly there's all the Joey love at the beginning, which makes my heart melt; then there's him in this video, with the wind rippling his shirt, all intent and big-eyed and gorgeous; then there's the fact that it sounds amazing. Maybe the best it's ever sounded.

Adventures in child care: 6:15 pm, 15 minutes after closing time, and three carers, two mothers, and three kids are all crowded around a puzzle trying to finish it before we can go home for the weekend. Possible this should be "Adventures in mild OCD tendencies" instead.

My throat hurts BUT I have Deathly Hallows 1 on DVD. Gonna go watch the extras when I get home tonight!

Went to melissajane24's birthday dinner and had ice cream, which made my throat not hurt so much, and am now at baldie_troll's. Getting somewhat desperate for home internet. Possibly very desperate. I can't even remember which shows I watch anymore, and I WANT THE NEW HAWAII 5-0 DAMMIT.

I can barely hear him in the videos from this event, which sucks, but this is just Darren being adorable and making up a song.


I WISH I COULD HEAR IT BETTER. It sounds gorgeous.

The Phelps twins were lovely. I had so much fun on the weekend. Natalia Tena is kind of bonkers and amazing, and Stanislav Ianevski is a hottie, and the Phelps twins are funny and very sweet. It was totally awesome.

Also last weekend on March 26th I saw ( The Adjustment Bureau )

I'm literally only posting this for my fellow Aussie convention whores, because we know a girl who asks it at every convention ever.

Also, yes, I had two - a teddy bear called Kuma and a rag doll called Doll-doll. Doll-doll is almost in pieces but still with me, and Kuma went out with the sheets at a hotel in Korea and I never got him back.
