Last week I saw "One Day" with Anne Hathaway and there was one part where she had this cute pixie cut.



And it reminded me of Audrey Hepburn.



And my hair has just been annoying me lately, but I don't know if I really want to go that short...

or if I'd even look good with a pixie cut...

or bangs...

Gha! But the hair is so annoying I'm ready to just grab the first pair of scissors I can find and hack it off so it isn't flopping around.

And tell 'em n_e_star sent you!

This is just one of the sweetest things I've seen.

I have this nasty throat crud, with a headache and pimples sprouting up all over - ick!

But other then that I've had a very busy month, creative wise.

I wrote:
8 drabbles (BSG, Due South, Sleeping Beauty, Tin Man)
3 stories (BSG, The West Wing)

I made 54 icons!!!

I'll be back with my remix rec post later, but first you need to drop whatever you're doing and go read - Your Mechanic's Hand (The Permission Remix)

This is the best Simon voice I've read in a long time and his interaction with the crew is amazing and it's the backstory I never thought about and it's AWESOME!!!!@!

Yesterday was filled with diazepam and needles, today was filled with poop and puke (the little little guy I watch has a cold plus got his frenulum clipped), so here's hoping tomorrow is better.

And, with 7 and a half hours to spare, my remix is done!


Boo yah!


As of Friday morning I was stuck at 350 words, but then I had a second idea and completely rewrote the thing!


Yey for giving up!


And now I shall go play in the remix madness and you can too!

I finished "Battlestar Galatica" today.

Even though I knew what was in store, after Lee turned around and Kara was gone I spent five minutes yelling "WHAT?" at my tv.


My Dad did too.


And just before that Mom wandered in, asked who the guy in the tub was and, upon learning it was Sam and he was about to jump into the sun, then said "So this means that she can go off and be with what's-his name... the Adama kid like she was suppose to".

Question for the West Wing Freaks on my f-list ('cus I'm sure one of you will know the answer).

Was Danny around when the whole "Josh music triggered PTSD" thing went down?

Also, I know there was the one episode where the crew went to the opera, but were there other music type events?


Stupid left brain is demanding facts while the right brain screams "just write the story already!"

What am I but a sheep after all?

The Fan Fiction Personality Test

The Mindgamer

Everything is possible, nothing is ever really over.

Fanfiction is a creative outlet for you. You don't intentionally write it, it just happens. You find inspiration in several fandoms, but are not obsessed with only one.

You like to explore "what if" situations. What if this character had never made this very choice? What if this event had taken place sooner, never, elsewhere? What if these people had never met?

You are likely to write Alternative Universes, fan seasons or sequels and just follow your (sometimes pretty strange) plot bunnies.

Okay, that is scary accurate, and on that note I'm off to finish the intro chapter from my BSG/PotO AU ;)

All U.S. Internet Providers will be policing downloads by July 12, 2012

"File-sharers, beware: By July 12, major US Internet service providers (ISPs) will voluntarily begin serving as copyright police for the entertainment industry, according to Cary Sherman, chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The so-called “six-strikes” plan is said to be one of the most effective anti-piracy efforts ever established in the US."

The article goes on to give details. After six notices, internet providers will decide to throttle a person's internet speed, or cut it off altogether. I don't know if they will crack down on torrents only, or if it is up to the internet provider. I get the sense it is up to the internet provider. So some people could get away with downloading non torrents, while others might get their internet service cut off. I urge you to click it and read, as we all know people who download.

No more downloading eps of your favorite shows for vidding, gifs, or fanfiction art. No more downloading screencaps possibly. I'm so sorry my friends. I don't even know if BT Guard will work to protect you, but I would google it if I were you. It is a professional service that supposedly can protect you from the invasive eyes of your internet provider.

Just, my friends, please make each other aware. Please be aware of the date JULY 12TH. Mark your calendar and double check with your internet provider by then. If you start receiving notices of downloaded activity, this is why. And your internet service could be throttled or cut off.

Shamelessly snagged from tanyareed

They have called this day the Eleventh of March! And whomsoever of you gets through this day, unless you are shot in the head or somehow slain, you will stand at tiptoe when e'er you hear the name again, and you will get excited at the name March the Eleventh!

We happy few, we few, we band of brothers. Our names will be as like household names. And those who are not here, be they sleeping or doing something else, they will feel themselves...sort of crappy. Because they are not here to...to join the fight, on this day, the Eleventh of March!

OMG! IT'S STARTED PEOPLE!!!!




If you truly call yourselves my friends then you will go over and vote Molly Hooper for Sherlock!!!

Holy cow, you guys! I wrote original fic!

(Okay, so I "wrote what I know" almost to the point of it being a Mary-Sue, except I don't want to be in that situation, so... Yeah, whatever.)

Her Mother must be getting desperate to give her this bracelet. After all, family history claims that seven generations of women had worn this bracelet the night they fell in love.

I just watched a couple of episodes of classic Star Trek and I have two interesting observations.

1 - in the fight scenes there is very little fighting that goes on, there is, however, a whole lot of slapping.

2 - Spock will mind meld with anything; random bad guys, a grumpy McCoy (okay, this was mirror!Spock), passing space probes with AI...

My next exam is March 15, but the 14th will be a travel day, so I have 25 days left.

I still have to do:
3 3-6 page info booklets to write and format
1 rough draft of the Complications project
197 Questions spread over 8 worksheets (which works out to 8 questions a day)

I can do this.



I can do this.



I boy, I really need to do this.

Back in the summer Doctor Who had just ended and BBCA was starting to air Battlestar Galactic and my dad and I said, "Why not?"

So we watched the mini-series and that was awesome and every Saturday night was another two episodes, so now it's Feb and we're nearing the end of season 3 and things have started to bug me.

( More rambly thoughts this way... )
