Haven't done a meme in a while. Stolen from ladymercury_10:

So what have you been up to? / Major life changes? Same old same old?
Yup, same old, same old. Still employed, which is a tough thing right now since I work in the oil and gas industry and there are layoffs aplenty. My current project is chugging along, but it could go belly up for all I know.

- I followed f_march_madness this year, and it's the first time I've actively paid attention to it, and I was very pleased to see that the the bulk of the characters that made it into the later brackets were women. This is solid proof that all of the awesome characters in TV and film are female. :-) The last two characters in the final bracket was an impossible ( Read more... )

So today I was looking around on the Internet for a collapsible coat hanger, like the one Toht uses in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (We all know the scene from the movie). I couldn't find anything commercially available so I wondered it it was possible to make one ( Read more... )

The "Meanwhile in the TARDIS..." scenes got me thinking: are they canon? They were written specifically for the DVDs, not any particular TV script, so they're not strictly deleted scenes. On the other hand, Steven Moffat wrote them and his word is kind of like law, canonically anyway.

This applies to all fandoms, really. All of this extra material, ( Read more... )

So I spent my weekend at the local comic book and entertainment expo. A lengthy title for what's basically a convention at heart. The media guests are the main draw but there are tons of comic book artists and other exhibitors that are also part of the package. This year was the biggest one they've done by far and no offense to the organizers, who ( Read more... )

Hee, Aaron Douglas is coming to the local comic book con in April! Now I'm totally tempted to rip-off procure The Bridge bus shelter ad near my house. I wonder if he and Tahmoh will have to share a panel? I'd die if the con offered a photo-op with the two of them.

I mentioned the same con to my co-worker today, since she recently got into Twilight, ( Read more... )

Yay, my photo-op ticket for Tahmoh came in the mail today! I'm one step closer to an awkward encounter with him. I solemnly swear to ninamazing that I will say, "You're really tall" to him. ;-) So, I have my weekend pass, and my two photo-op tickets, one for Jewel and one for Tahmoh.

But I've come to realize that going to cons ain't for the penny pinching ( Read more... )

At my last book club, I'm not really sure how the topic was brought up, but one of my friends asked why bother to write fanfic when you can write original stuff. I'm pretty sure I was the only fanfic writer in the room, though one of the other girls does read fanfic. My friend made it sound like writing fanfic was lame or just for crazy people. The ( Read more... )

My gosh, April is going to be geektastic, at least for me. First the official Stargate con in Vancouver in the beginning of April then the local comic book con at the end of the month.

And Jewel's slated to appear! Yay! I was kind of hoping she might appear at the Stargate convention, but now I don't have to go anywhere to see her. :-) I can get my ( Read more... )

Much to my amusement my friends and I ended up watching Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog yesterday at our monthly book club meeting (Yes, I'm in a book club; try not to faint). The girl hosting had bought, not pirated, the episodes from iTunes and had just finished watching them with some other friends that afternoon. Oddly enough, I had decided to ( Read more... )
