Dude, where is everybody? This is my sixth post in 27 hours and I've received only one comment. Come on, people, I'm bored!
Once I again I think you should all go vote for hotness in the Who Would You Do? contest. I'm pleased to report that Henry Ian Cusick is doing quite well, and that Stephen Colbert has entered the running. Unfortunately I forgot to vote for Audrey Tautou today. Or Neil Gaiman. He's getting added to my list tomorrow. And there is lots of worksafe delicious picspam, so go check it out (said picspam includes hella sexy pics of Amber Benson, Sophie...). It's not too late to start nominating.
In other news, I started my file purging project yesterday afternoon. There's now a hip-high wall of files outside my office waiting for the giant recycling bin to arrive. Since said wall is located in front of the window that faces into the building, I could almost stand around pantless in my office and no one would know. I'll try to remember to bring my camera tomorrow so I can show you. The wall of files, I mean. I'm not going to take pictures of myself without pants because that would just be silly.
I got a lot done at home last night, too. Played Prince of Persia for an hour--now I'm 70 percent through and have been playing 4 hours. I think if I really work it I could possibly finish it in around 5:15. Then I pretty much finished cataloguing books. I may decide to catalogue the unread books, too, in which case I'll have a lot more to do, but I'm also going to pack those shelves last of all the books, so I won't have those to do for a while. I packed up my desk drawers, most of which fit in one box with room to spare. I packed my stuff in the bathroom (well, put everything of mine that I don't use daily in my blue tupperware bin and threw out old stuff and set aside things I'll never use for the Party Favors box at the party). I started organizing in the pantry, putting away some dishes and packing up the humidifier and rearranging so it's possible to actually turn around in there.
And later on, I played some Guitar Hero and rocked the hell out, getting five stars on three different really tough songs. I now only need to get five stars on three more songs to have conquered the medium setting. Then I'll need to do all the bonus songs, but if I can get five stars on "Cowboys from Hell" or "Bark at the Moon" I can do anything (those two and "Godzilla" are my last three, but I'm really close on "Godzilla"). I've found that I do the best when I first sit down to play and skip around among the songs, rather than working on one song over and over. I try not to do a song over more than three times, because then it's not fun anymore and it probably won't get any better. And if I play for longer than, say, an hour, my fingers just can't handle it anymore and it again gets to be unfun. So, I do better in this game with pacing and limits. Slowly but surely, I will become a guitar goddess. (Though last night Jorn said I'm already his guitar goddess, and that was really sweet and made me blush.)
Someone's graduating on the Harvard campus sometime today and it's pouring teeming horrific bucketloads of rain. Yesterday's commencement was I think the undergrads, and tomorrow is the law school, but I feel bad for whoever's trying to graduate today. Ugh.

RL stuff is keeping me away and when I do have time I'm skimming and randomly commenting. Sorry if you're feeling neglected. You do know that I love you, right? *hugs*
