I almost got driven from my room by a moth last night. I don't mean in the "Ew, there's an insect in my general vicinity! *shrieks and flees*" sense. Nope, I'm not one to freak out over bugs. I find them fascinating, often pretty, I've had pet crickets, pet snakes-who-eat-crickets (erm... not at the same time), and I'm pretty much the go-to person ( Read more... )

Okay, so I just had to share this. I was goin' around on various editor-type websites, and ended up reading some quotes from badly-written fanfics. Most of it is the sort of things one might expect, but then, then I came across this. Someone, who shall here remain nameless, had, in all seriousness, written the following sentence:

I finally caved and got meself some more icon space. Yays, I can has NCIS icons! There were just too many that I wanted. :D

But now... I am feeling stupid. Because, despite all my attempts, I still can not seem to figure out how to save animated icons so that I can use them. So many people have them, it can't possibly be as complicated as all that ( Read more... )

Y’know what? Sometimes, Word’s grammar checker really bugs me. Especially when it decides to not only give awful-sounding suggestions, but to be politically correct about it to boot. Seriously. Do not tell me that I ought to say “humanity” or “humankind” instead of “mankind.” I am perfectly capable of deciding which sounds best in the context of ( Read more... )

*shakes head* Okay, so I've only just finished writing an SGA fic, right? My longest story evar. So not only is my creativity about worn out for a while, but I've got a bunch of editing and such to catch up on. So it'll be a while before I write any more fanfiction, right? Right?! You would think so, but you'd be wrong. Argh.

Yeah, you might ( Read more... )

Yes, I've been home from vacation for a while now. No, I haven't been too insanely busy. And yet I've dropped off the face of the earth. Why is that? BECAUSE OUR STUPID INTERNET HAS BEEN OUT FOR DAYS!

Seriously, this internet service seems to be getting  worse by the week. Used to be it'd cut out briefly every once in a while, not really a big deal ( Read more... )

So, we were driving into town the other day, and came to a T intersection. At that intersection, naturally, there is a road sign with an arrow pointing in each direction. You know, the kind that looks rather like this: [ <---> ] Someone had written on that sign. Now normally I don't approve of graffiti, but I had to smile at this one. Under the ( Read more... )

Y'know, baby seals are cute and all, but what we really need to be focusing on is SAVING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!

Ahem.

But I'll get to that in a minute - first, some good news. It appears that three LOTR actors have now been approached about being in the Hobbit: Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, and Viggo Mortensen. Eee! The only one I've heard is officially ( Read more... )

I'm really not quite sure how the avatar I've used relates to this post. I just felt like using it. I'm feeling very random and hyper and exhausted. I believe as a result of a combination of too little sleep, too much caffeine, lots of mental work, and the relief of finally finishing a big project.

So I've at last finished the latest issue of the ( Read more... )

Well, we got our Christmas tree today, which is much fun. And then the tree stand broke when the guys were trying to put it up, which is not so fun. They were trying to fix it, but we finally had to get a new one - it was that or have our tree standing undecorated in a beat-up five gallon bucket in the family room when our family comes over ( Read more... )
