Is it madness?

I have a plan for some different pictures tomorrow, but it's late and so I decided to take a picture of my new DT Lagoona with my SS Lagoona. (Btw, now I really want the 13 Wishes Lagoona, since she's the saltwater version and so can look like a totally different doll. xD)



( Couple more pictures )

I'm a bit annoyed because the cable has been acting up the last couple of days. The picture gets big pixely bars over the picture, and the sound cuts out. Scottie called the cable company early this afternoon about it because it got worse and the picture was worthless and the sound completely disappeared. They said they could send someone out tomorrow, which was annoying, but he set up an appointment. But then the tv went back to normal as the day went on, so we cancelled the appointment. But tonight the tv started to act up again, and then shortly before Helix and Grimm came on and started recording the tv turned into a soundless jumble of pixels. -_- I think both of those shows are On Demand, but I'd rather record it and watch it or watch it live because the On Demand stuff always ends up coming through at the wrong aspect ratio so it doesn't look nearly as nice because we end up watching it weirdly zoomed in or stretched. Bleh. I'm glad that it didn't happen on SHIELD, but Grimm is my other favourite show on tv right now so that's a bummer. I wouldn't say Helix is a favourite show but I am invested in watching it and was looking forward to seeing more of what's going on there. So to cheer myself up I decided to take the above doll pictures. n_n'

We're having some rather drastic temperature changes (it has gotten a lot colder in the last couple of days), and we think that's what's causing the problem. It's happened before! I hope that is the only problem, and that it works itself out, because I don't like having strangers in my house and also just because it's inconvenient to have to wait around for a cable guy. :P

I bet this is related to the other night when I couldn't connect to the internet! Also, the internet isn't really working now either. e_e

Work was frustrating today. There were computer issues that started on Thursday that were supposed to have been resolved that day that weren't actually resolved, and continued to be a problem today. I was listening to the end of Storm of Swords, and it was giving me all the feels, but all those feels were RAAAAAAAAGE. (I still have 10% left of the book) Once I was too agitated to continue to listen to the book, I tried listening to the radio. Everything on the radio was awful. For some reason, everyone wanted to play 80s and 90s music on stations that usually play current music, and I have anti-nostalgia for most of that. So that was a lot of DNW DNW DNW. For reasons I haven't posted about yet (and really, I probably won't because it's not what I normally post about, but it's just some incompetence from IT), I don't even have my own computer right now so I don't have my own personal music to listen to. While I was attempting to find anything to listen to on the radio one of my coworkers had his wife and baby stop by. And stay. The baby started squealing and crying. I was just like REALLY? REALLY? Really.


I haven't been in the best head space this past week (dealing with some PTSD issues for some reason), and I have been sleeping poorly, so I was also more easily irritated than usual.

(Sorry for the grumbley nature of the post!)

I really meant to work on my sculpt tonight but I ended up feeling rather under the weather instead. Bleh.

But I did watch some tv! I wrote out my thoughts about the shows, put under cuts just in case. :3
Helix I actually watched last night.
I thought it was interesting to finally find out what they were talking about with the White Room. Scottie totally called it that the outside was what they were talking about. xD
Me and Scottie were both amused that Dr. Farragut just used a compass to get back to the line. Take that traitor military dude!
I'm assuming Dr. IVIT's head is alive somehow, since they went through the trouble of showing us that the frozen monkeys were alive since they were screaming when they were set on fire.
Not sure yet what Dr. Hatake's play is yet, looking forward to seeing what he's up to.
(I realize that's a SHIELD quote, but I don't think Helix has been terribly quotable. And well, monkeys?)

All the love for Agents of SHIELD!
I was so amused by Stan Lee's appearance in the show! That was awesome. Scottie said that might have been his longest speaking cameo, and he might be right. xD I figured he had to show up at some point!

Poor Simmons lol. I excel at prep but I am awful at improv so look at my extremely detailed backstory! Don't you want to know what marine life we looked at? *pout*
I can sort of feel for her though. I tend to over-prep everything, though I don't think I'm as bad with improv.
I was excited that Mike's character was finally revealed (as Deathlok)!
I was so amused by Coulson and Ward trying to work the holotable.
Agent May is as always a badass. xD I was also amused by this scene:
May: Oh yeah I totally told Coulson about us *flings self out of train window*
Ward: Wait wut?!

I am so looking forward to next week! Lorelai and Sif! I mean, it's not Loki, but it's still Asgardian. And Lorelai is the little sister of the Enchantress, which is pretty awesome. xD

Face-Off
I'm not sure what to say about this episode. I think the seed for the show (the guitars) was a bit hard for the artists to really get their heads around. At least that's what I'm assuming. I didn't really like anyone's look very much. I really liked the idea of the 2nd place makeup with the clear chestplate with the ribs and heart and things underneath. I was most struck by the abstract guitar makeup that won, but I wasn't entirely sold on the concept. It was a bit wierd.
I was a bit unsure about it because it didn't really say guitar in any way. I also liked it better than the others because they didn't have a set of guitar neck horns like so many others. I guess I prefered the too abstract over the too literal.
I was surprised that the angular red makeup ended up on the bottom. I didn't think it was great but there were probably other's I'd have picked instead. Not that I'd have picked it to win either, but I thought it was more of a middling look.
I wasn't surprised at all that the rockabilly makeup ended up on the bottom, especially after the horn fell off during inspection. She had to know that she was going home at that point. I feel for the girl because she was clearly having issues and anxiety sucks, but you still need to be able to get the work done regardless.
Anyway, a sort of meh episode this week, which is disappointing.
This gif of Hiddles playing the guitar is more satisfying than the guitar episode of Face-Off to me


I'm mostly caught up on tv so far, though I still need to watch the last episode of Lost Girl.
