While I’ll leave the somber anniversary details to others, I just want to say
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
buhbuhraven and Cole!
Todd and Cole have the best relationship I’ve ever seen and I can only hope to find something like that in this lifetime.
*hugs*
Saturday was awesome. Todd and Cole’s baby shower was much fun and I’m pretty sure the baby is going to be the most stylin’ tot in the world. It was so good to see them again and I hope it won’t be such a long time before the next visit. Sunday was NOT awesome. I spent the day at a birthday party…for a ONE year old. Jeez, what exactly is the point of such a thing?!! I was roped into going with my mom to my cousin’s baby’s party. Yeah. Lame.
Moving on, I’ve started to notice some definite vidding trends in certain fandoms. Stargate SG-1 seems to be ruled by 70’s music. SGA is all about trying to “out-cool” the others. LOST is all about A/U. All of these trends have worn out their welcome as far as I’m concerned. Meh. This is not to say that some of the best vids I’ve seen haven’t sprung from these trends (ok, maybe not the SG-1 thing…), but when the whole fandom gets on that (or any) bandwagon, it just becomes a breeding ground of mediocrity. So I say, yes, bring back the simple stuff. Or not. Whatever floats your boat 
Thursday was a tremendously great day. I got to see Todd and Cole in Greensboro. It was sooo great snarking on the Vegas Buffy Homecoming trip and seeing the new baby furniture and getting T.A.G. on DVD. Narayan came up too and just made the trip perfect. After eating more bagels that any one person should Friday morning, the movers showed up and we were on the road.
With a couple of tiny exceptions, my house is set up and ready for visitors. I don’t actually close until tomorrow (Monday), but I stayed there last night and I’m bringing Hobbit today. The new furniture is EXACTLY what I hoped for, though the coffee table was damaged in shipping and the replacement won’t arrive for a couple of weeks. Once I get a new door installed and the table placed, I think I’ll be just as happy as can be.
Come visit me now!
In the past two days I have decided on a house (one called Lake House because it overlooks a lake), been accepted to Marshall University’s School Counseling program to get my second master’s, driven to Greensboro and back* after finding my tax documents from 2002 (with only minor scrapes and bruises), and am fully ready to get my loan.
*Whew*
*I really wanted to see Todd and Cole, but I had to get there and back before the bank closed. I’ll be back soon ;)
ETA: The new Stargate: Atlantis credits are the best opening credits I’ve ever seen. Stunningly gorgeous!
Death on the Nile, one of my favorite Agatha Christie stories, was on tv when I woke up today. This may be a great weekend yet. It started off with a visit from Ben, who brought me a gorgeous Audrey Hepburn calendar. 
We had our usual mexican and then wrapped up the evening by watching a coupla few SGA eps. *swoon*
I’m wishing all kinds of good luck to Todd and Cole today. Here’s hoping for even more great news in the future for those two
