A surprisingly organized day.
Oh my God, I've been so productive today.
Including, by the way, entries for the past three days. Here, here, and here. I feel like such a dumb-ass. Although they sound like they were written on the day, they weren't. Okay?
But, man, productive today. So very productive.
First, I organized my email. It's something I've been putting off, but I worked it all out very nicely. Cleaned up some mailboxes, fixed up filters, organized madly...it's all fabulous. Then I updated some pages, as I do. Not as many as I could, but enough to make the Sunday seem right.
And then I got down to work.
See, we've been buying a lot of cards for the BtVS collectible card game, because, well, we like it. So today I sat down on the bed, pulled out all my cards, and cleaned up my decks some more.
Right now, I still have a Giles deck and a Willow deck. Once I get a level one Kendra, I could have a Kendra deck too, but that's in the distance for me.
So my Giles deck became a Giles and Cordelia deck -- heavy focus on smarts and charm, with challenges that like smarts and charm too. Won't do too well against a heavy butt-kicking force, but there are a few cards that make you switch from butt-kicking to smarts, so, y'know, I will kick it there.
The Willow deck is a Willow and Oz deck, for a lot of smarts. Lots of smarts, and that nifty werewolf challenge. Plus, y'know, Oz. It has to be.
If I could, I would've made a Giles and Oz deck and a Willow and Cordelia deck, because, well, come on, but Oz only gains charm when he's with Willow (those anti-slash bastards at the gaming company...why I oughta...), but, well, I do have to admit that Giles and Cordelia are something of a weakness for me, so be damned if I'm going to break them up.
Well, until I get a Cordelia deck. Then, y'know, all bets are off.
So once I did that, I was still in my "Must organize world" mode. So I grabbed all my comic books, grabbed a couple of boxes, and organized those suckers.
I am a bad comic collector, though. I don't bag, I don't board, I just stick them into boxes and occasionally forget to do even that. They pile up and get damp and it's just a mess.
But since I buy them to, y'know, read them, I figure the enjoyment I get out of them is more important than the collectability of them.
Was briefly tempted to re-read through Grant Morrison's X-Men work. And then maybe The Invisibles. And then maybe Kill Your Boyfriend again. But resisted. Resisted most of my comics -- I knew I'd never get any work done otherwise.
Boxed them, organized the area they sit on, and just generally made things nicer. I still have a huge pile of old X-mens from Sheila in a suitcase from our trip to L.A., so I'm not fully done, but most of my stuff is carefully put away.
I say most because I'm dead positive there are two issues of the Iceman miniseries that are missing. And it's aggravating me. Grrr.
Once I finished that, I dyed my hair (and the purple took so it looks very nice, although it's more of a burgundy than a purple), I painted my nails, I made the bed, and I got everything together to go to work tomorrow.
I also read Rising Stars, J. Michael Straczynski's comic. We just got the second graphic novel yesterday and I wanted to re-read the first one before I read it. So I read both today. And Top 10 by Alan Moore again because it's just amusing.
I've been geeking out all day. But I've been seriously organized. It's disturbing.
