feeling: drowsy and slightly achy, though the pain killers are kicking in
listening to: Denwa Shite Iwachan, from Ah! My Goddess... well, sort of
I have THE cutest nephew on the face of the earth! The kid does celebrity impressions like a pro, and he's only 6 weeks old! XD Ok, back when he was only a week or so old, he did a great Elvis by doing that upper-lip-curling thing the "king" *koff* is known for... and his thick black hair and sideburns (I kid you not, sideburns! hah) just made it that much more convincing. Then just yesterday, on his sixth-week birthday, he did a killer Spock in his sleep... I was holding him, he stretched, and his elbow was kinda balanced on my hand so that his forearm and hand stuck straight up vertically. Yes, that was a redundancy... sue me for wanting to emphasize the coolness of this. :P Anywho, so his hand stays up in the air when his arm relaxes, and his fingers fall into that classic, spilt-between-middle-and-ring-finger, \\// position. And he held that position for a good minute before his arm finally fell... and slept like a rock while we all laughed at his unbelievable cuteness. XD Oh, and he snores too. Just had to throw that in. It's incredibly adorable.
Well, a sort-of update on the computer crap I blogged about the other day... sort of. After posting here, a friend of mine on ICQ referred to me a program called Recover98 which comprehensively scans the selected drive and, on occasion, can rescue lost files. And, a few of my lost files did return using it. ^_^ Also, I checked my third disk on a different computer the next morning, and it appears unharmed - so my two monstrously long fanfics appear safe, thank GOD. The small downside is, the files I did manage to recover were mostly old school papers and stuff that I no longer have any real use for, and 3 of my favorite smaller documents are still gone. But that's not really a huuuge loss, much as I'll miss them... one was just something I used as a venting/ranting journal (long before I learned of Blogger heheh), another was a brainstorm file for that awesome dreamed-up anime story I mentioned a few blogs down... those were fun to read and play with, but I can survive without them. The third, though, called 'FF Short Stuff', contained a few small things I was working on that could probably qualify as FF7 and FF9 fanfic - small little character-vignette-type things for Aeris, Red XII, and Tifa, respectively; a few songs, mostly popular music I apply to the aforementioned characters but also original lyrics, though I can probably write them again... that kinda thing. A dialog or two, semi-formal brainstorming, the like. The big one in that file, though, was a sort of music video script I was writing for FF7 - a bunch of little made-up Cloud-and-Tifa scenes set to the lyrics of "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion. Because I'm a sap. Shut up. :P It was halfway done, and I was having a ton of fun with it.. and now it's gone. I don't know whether I'll be able to remember all of it to do over. Oh, and there's one more file I think I lost but I don't even remember - character descriptions/histories for a FF7: Next Generation deal I was gonna make a fanfic out of. But in all honesty, I was planning to redesign those characters anyway. So, there you have it, the casualties in detail... not as big a loss as I first thought. So that's kinda cool.
In other news, I'm quite enjoying my 3-day weekend. It's even better since no class Monday means no English class until Wednesday (it's a Monday-and-Wednesday-only class), and we're watching a film on Wednesday and wrapping it up the following Monday, so there'll be no English work assigned for at least another week. BooYA!! *does a happy dance* Also, tomorrow is the day the Daria movie, Is It College Yet?, will be airing, and I plan to tape it, cause as I mentioned before, Daria just rocks... and tomorrow is also the day I'll be taking Mitsu, my pwetty fishie, to school with me. Welcome to dorm life, little finned one.
