In this ComicCon interview we learn that Karen Gillan is a Trekker and Matt Smith is into True Blood. I do wonder about Karen, though. How can she not know any sexy Klingons?

I still haven't seen more than the first ep of True Blood, but of course as a Swede I'm always pleased at attention aimed at a fellow countryman. (Though I was very amused ( Read more... )

My mom offered to take the DVD player, and as I told her, I can't guarantee that it'll work with their old TV, but mine is worse than theirs and the store lady didn't say it would be a problem, so it might. OTOH, my trust in that store lady is not high right now. Does anyone know if there's a problem mixing new DVD/Blu-Ray players with old TVs? ( ( Read more... )

I've spent most of the day at the carneval (more about that possibly later), and at the spex, one of the melodies was REALLY familiar, but I can't remember what on earth it is; I'm not even getting any snippets of lyrics to help me. All I can say is that it sounds vaguely like Wind Beneath My Wings without actually BEING Wind Beneath My Wings ( Read more... )

Here's me asking for help again. I'm going to start a film project with some of the kids next week. They're doing a theme on Viking times, and I'm going to coach them as they divide into two groups and make short films: one is going to do a commercial/infomercial about how excellent it was to live in Viking times, and the other is going to do an ( Read more... )

You know, it feels like all I ever do on this place is beg for help on various issues. Now it's my internet connection. It stops working every evening and has done so for the past ten days or so. At first it was just an hour or so at a time, and not necessarily every night, but now it lasts much longer - yesterday I came home at six thirty, found ( Read more... )

So, I'm in the process of making a short, funny vid. This should be a relaxing activity - except WMM has found a new an ingenious way of annoying me: Timing ( Read more... )

I have started collecting files for the older women vid, and as usual with the multifandom stuff, there are different aspect ratios. Now, I personally don't care much, but I know a lot of people do, and I don't want a silly thing like that to stop viewers from enjoying the awesomeness of the characters ( Read more... )

I think everyone who was going to guess at the OTP meme has done so, so I'm closing the game! :-) The champion guesser is without a doubt bats_eye, who guessed no less than eight of the 30 pairings.

All the pairings of Round 1 were eventually guessed, while four remained unguessed of Round 2:

3. He faked his death. She almost married someone else. Thank ( Read more... )

So, morthel and I were talking about how the same actresses get to play lesbians/bisexuals over and over again, and that led to wondering if the same was true about actors, which led to the conclusion that it's different for men because gay male characters don't get to make out to the extent that lesbian characters get to. And then I mentioned that ( Read more... )

For once, I have a decent sum of money, what with both the Christmas money from my parents and my salary for having worked full time three weeks. I have already burned some of the Christmas money buying films. (Both Narnia films and Dårfinkar & Dönickar, the gender-bendy TV show I adored as a kid. The show is up on YouTube as well, for those of you ( Read more... )
