Well, it's a sad day for Stargate Atlantis fans: cancellation newsI'm going to miss it. As much as I ranted about the writing, the show was blessed with a great cast and directorial crew, and has been my fun Friday night turn-off-the-brain-and-grab-the-popcorn show for more than three years. I really enjoyed watching for scenes with secondary ( Read more... ) -

Hoo boy. In perverse reaction to the big workload coming down the pike at me at my office, I just signed up for the SGA fan art challenge at paintedspires. Hopefully, having a deadline and an actual obligation to complete some non-work-related art will get the ol' creative juices flowing. -

procrastination blues
Mostly posting to feature this new icon, which I FINALLY got composited after many failed tries to manipulate Photoshop layers. I know there was an easier way to do some of this stuff back in 3.0 and 4.0. Whyfore you take away my useful tools while adding bells and whistles, Adobe?

Huh. A fanfic writer whose work I've enjoyed just posed a sweeping question that about the fandom the other day that would generate complaints/negativity by the very nature of the discussion, and now her journal is friends-locked. rolls eyes foreverPerhaps it would be wise to avoid stirring up a hornet's nest if one is unprepared to encounter ( Read more... ) -

Ugh. I found out late last night that the roof has developed a leak over my bedroom ceiling, which is now discolored, cracked, and peeling apart. Water also dripped down onto my wardrobe (didn't get at the clothes inside, though) and down the nearest wall, whose plaster now has a ceiling-to-floor diagonal crack. If the wardrobe dries out OK none of ( Read more... )
