Packing like a Sorcyress

1532:
Managed to cull the hats into the things I actually regularly wear. Even though it breaks my heart to do such a thing, since I do love my hats, quite dearly. Also, I really need to start doing the mom thing more often, and wearing a backwards ball cap --I have two perfectly good ones. (Would have three if I hadn't lost my Sweeney Todd one like an idiot)

At any rate, that's one of the two really hard clothing things done. Next up...shoes, and those don't squish *nearly* as well.

1619:
NO I DID NOT GET DISTRACTED BY ALYS PLAYING EVERQUEST WHATEVER MADE YOU THINK THAT HAHA

1651:
So, a little bit of exploration re: that bacardi commercial I posted has led me to discover the fun that is Matt and Kim. I'm still sitting at three songs --the ones they've got official music videos-- but I like what I hear. Getting my hands on their album is a must; I keep putting on Daylight to clean to, and dancing around like an idiot instead. It's *very* fun.

Also, I mean, they strip down. In the middle of Times Square. In winter. For a Music Video.

What can I say, I'm a little bit of a sucker for girls who don't shave their armpits. Unshaven legs I can take or leave, but please leave the hair under the arms, it is totally lovely.

((yes, I am a little bit of a freak sometimes))

1700
Also, it bugs me when people whine about musicians selling out. If Matt and Kim hadn't sold out by having their music in that commercial, they would have one less fan who enjoys their stuff and would be willing to go see them play live, if they came anywhere near Boston. (Though I am looking for excuses to go to New York...)

Plus, selling out = enough money to eat and make more music that you'll enjoy. Or whine about. Whichever.

(I am not actually a music fan, just a person who listens to music sometimes and likes it.)

1701
RIGHT WORKING RIGHT!

1719
Notetoself: Don't read YouTube comments. duh.

1724
I have a lot of zip ties, and am not really sure why this is. Also, I'm rapidly approaching the point where I need an actual tool bag for myself, fucking *glee!* even if I lost my totally awesome knife damnit damnit

1736
Seriously, making a cohesive list of everything left I had to pack was a really quite clever idea. Well done, Miss Kyress1. NOW DO THE THINGS ON THE LIST!

1738
Notetoself, do a Sorky2 vocab sheet sometime. Need to have on it: Pumpkin Time, some names of mine, Milk Crates, ponies and monkeys, other things I say a lot, fwen. Similar to my acronyms cheat sheet.

1755
RIGHT THAT WAS AN INTERESTING YET POINTLESS DIVERSION. Back to the accounts.

1805
I do not know what is up with my left hand these days. It just insists on baubles --doesn't feel right without three rings and some bracelets, or something equally warped. WHY DO YOU SO WANT FRIVOLS, SELF?

1816
Also, judging by dad's tentative plans, I have less than forty-eight hours left in Maryland. BOOYAH!

1817
Things I need to do during the daylight hours tomorrow: Return Larry's sound equipment, go to the post office and send presents to people. NTS: Make sure I have addresses. Also, bank. Also, at some point I need to order my birthday present for myself.

1822
Hmm, wonder if the package center is hiring. It would certainly ensure that I actually get all my mail when it comes, and not, oh, in mid summer for packages sent in march. *rars at Lesley*.

((Those cookies were still delicious though!))

1840
The beginning of "Board of Governors" from Jekyll and Hyde always sounds a bit like the music from The Weakest Link to me. More cracktastic artists than myself (or at least, more familiar with the J&H secondary characters) would be drawing this. "Henry Jekyll, you are....THE WEAKEST LINK. GOODBYE!"

...Hyde would like it to be know that he doesn't approve.

1843:
..........ohmygods, Henry Jekyll/Herbert West. They can try to out 'scientist' each other. It'll be all delightfully sociopathic and WONDERFUL. Both of them are all like "It's for a good cau-AUG MY LIFE IS BEING RUINED SHIT SHIT!"

Yes, I know there's only like one person out there who'll appreciate this, but whatever. THAT'S REASON ENOUGH TO POST IT!

1848:
......does that make Hyde Dan? Because...no. Not at all. I'd say maybe Hyde corresponds to West, but Hyde's a lot less concerned with results. Arg and damnation.

1907
HA! I SAY HA! TAKE THAT SHOES! YOU ARE NO MORE A PROBLEM!!!

((That's how I know I'm a chick. Seriously, I have way too many shoes to ever be a boy.))

1927
It's always nice when this project looks doable, instead of "oh god oh god"

2004
Iiiii don't want to do the rest of this. Like, at all. Someone come pack for me?

2012
Still left to sort through/deal with: Notebooks?, Blank papers, Presents, Writing stuff, Wearable clothes, Laundry, Props box, Electronics, Business Cards, Pocket Stuff, Desk

Still left to pack: Photos, Weaponry, Jewelry stuff, Jewelry, Buttons, Love letters, Food, Top of Dresser, Legos?

ARGSAUCE!

I should just post this, and have more entertaining bits and pieces later or something.

MOOP!

Postscript: Found my diary. Yay!

1: This is totally the Katters' fault, as are many of my names (See: "Sor") The first time I ever heard her pronounce "Sorcyress" she was doing so with a k sound for the c, rather than the s sound I'd been using. It's...a thing that I split names down the middle (also her fault) so I chose to shift the name from Sor Cyress (Pronounced Sigh-ress)to Sor Kyress. (Kai-ress).

2: Pretty much the same as reasons stated above.

I know all too well what it's like to have too much. I cut back on all of my clothes this past year and am concentrating on patterns. Like I need one more block tee, long or short sleeve.

I'm sad to say a bunch of my old hats from the 80s had to be thrown out recently. The hat box got crushed and they were too dirty, smashed and abused to be brought back to life. :(

That is seriously sadface! Hats are wonderful.

Yeah, eventually I'll start to cull my wardrobe...the real problem is the slowly increasing amount of costuming I'm bringing into my world...aiee!

My brother owns over 40 pairs of shoes. I think we're within 5 pairs of each other, but his are nicer.

Your brother is insane. So am I, for what it's worth. For all that I absolutely need all my shoes, I really can't imagine why someone would need more than like...four pairs --sneakers, boots, sandals, and maybe some form of dress shoes.

I think it was the punk kids of the 70s who came up with the idea of selling out, because punk was all about rawness and authenticity and "hey I've never played before but I found this guitar in a dumpster, watch how awesome and real I am" (as one of my professors put it). This despite the fact that a not-insignificant percentage of them were posers who did actually have serious instrumental/vocal chops because they were previously members of the progressive rock bands whose excessive song complexity and length punk was largely a reaction to.

Zip ties are very handy things to have a lot of.

I think the notion predates punk somewhat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who_Sell_Out)...

[identity profile] macaroniandtuna.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a good point, I wasn't even thinking of The Who. Still, the punk kids seem to have been almost obsessively concerned and worried about selling out.

I had some trouble because I kept losing count, but I think I'm currently at 16 mostly functional pairs of shoes. And I'm pretty sure that a pair of mine is at least 50% bigger than a pair of yours. It's possible I have too many shoes to be a boy, too, though...

[identity profile] kdsorceress.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm unsure if I'm beating you or not...lessee...sneakers, sandals, army boots, stripper heels x3, pirate boots, steampunk boots, black boots, chucks...I think that's all the ones I've got in Maryland right now. We're not gonna discuss the shoes I left in Boston for the summer. >.>

So, ten. Ten plus an extra or two. Aiee?

I finally started packing for D*C around 2AM tonight… I have to be at con for my first staff shift at 9AM.

Glad things are going equally well for you :)

[identity profile] kdsorceress.livejournal.com 2009-09-03 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, you live in the city you're packing for. And I technically don't even leave for another 31 hours. I'm totally good.

Unshaven legs I can take or leave, but please leave the hair under the arms, it is totally lovely.

I agree with that opinion.

Also, that's one heck of an ending for a music video.
