Laughter Through Tears

Having stuff is fun. Moving meant I needed and wanted to get a whole bunch of new stuff, and there's still more stuff I'm waiting to get later. My wardrobe being a sad thing meant ordering still more stuff online. This week I lost my sunglasses, and realized I'd been wearing the same ones since twelfth grade, so I permitted myself to get a new pair* -- more stuff. There is some little stuff I also want to get, like folders to put my important papers in order, and a thermometer to find out, once and for all, what my natural body temperature is. Stuff to hang on the walls, to brighten up the living room. A storage device to back up my computer, since my old flash drive doesn't have enough space anymore. Having stuff is nice, but buying stuff makes me nervous.

In much better news, I did some writing this week. It wasn't anything earth-shattering, but I was browsing isurrendered and thinking about my meme reply, and I wanted to write some episode summaries. I wrote up a whole season and most of another, just tiny little blurbs like you see in TV guides, but it made me so ridiculously proud. I might post them eventually, but if I post an episode guide I want to also post something with more substance. I think it might be fun to fake-liveblog the episodes. Not now, though, when I'm already mostly consumed by school.

I miss my computer. Nothing is quite as relaxing as playing Sims 3 for a couple of hours.

*Getting new sunglasses in mid October might now seem very sensible, but my eyes are inexplicably sensitive, and this summer is running late. We might get another whole month of heatwaves, and even when it's cold we can have really sunny (but still chilly) days.

So, approximately eleventy billion years ago (read: ten days) marina made up a new meme.

THE MEME
1. Comment to this post with "I surrender!" and I'll assign you the basis of some TV show idea. (Science fiction show, medical drama, criminal procedure, etc...)
2. Create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them
3. Add in any actor photos, character bios and show synopsis that you want.
4. Post to your own journal.

marina gave me the prompt: "Scientific-mystery-of-the-week, any genre, set somewhere outside North America (including outer space or whatever)."

The End (no teaser image because I fail at photoshop), an extraterrestrial scientific exploration drama/psychological mystery:
