sepiamagpie	1:39a	GUYS GUYS GUYS I've always been jealous of Bernie and his 'bear' friends so I made myself a bear character in city of heroes after being inspired by this other guy and his called Psioni Cub and it's totally cool. Meet... ( Xuan Xuan. She's a bear! A panda bear! ) I think she looks a lot more bear-y than those guys bears. They all just look like big hairy men, they don't even use the teddy bear ears.

rusty_halo	5:18p	Movie Babble & Reaction to Mary Doria Russell’s The Sparrow http://rusty-halo.com/wordpress/?p=2737 * x_los wrote Eighth Doctor/goosnake!Master. And it’s… actually kind of awesome? If you enjoy crackfic, I highly recommend it. * I. Um. I think I want to see Twilight. I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW. But… it’s just… you know… Robert Pattinson is really really cute! Apparently somewhere inside me there still lurks a twelve year old girl, whose Pretty!Boy!Vampire! alert has just been triggered. I will have to hide my face in shame and sneak into the theater hoping that no one I know will recognize me. Or at least claim that I’m there only to snark. :P * I saw the new James Bond this weekend and was disappointed. I’m all for emotional continuity, but it didn’t feel like the movie really went anywhere. Nothing made a big impression, and I was mostly bored. Apparently I’m one of the three human beings on the planet who do not find Daniel Craig attractive, so without a compelling story there just wasn’t much to hold my interest. Casino Royale was so much better. :( * I just read this book called The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell, about a Jesuit expedition to Alpha Centauri (seriously). It was brilliantly written, but I didn’t love it. ( spoilers for The Sparrow and for the Lymond Chronicles (possibly offensive to religious types) ) Current Mood: tired Originally published at rusty-halo.com. Please click here to comment.

rusty_halo	1:56p	*crosses fingers* http://rusty-halo.com/wordpress/?p=2739 Those of you who read my journal regularly are probably aware that, every night before I go to bed, I get down on my knees and pray that John Simm will return as the Master for one of the 2009 Doctor Who specials.* Nothing has been announced yet, BUT… ( spoilery speculation ) * I don't actually do this.

shallow_kid	11:33a	Best "Twilight" review of the day http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Twilight-Rant-They-ve-Got-It-All-Wrong-10945.html I wanted to post choice bits but the whole thing is just too delicious. And for those who want to lol but aren't planning on seeing the movie any time soon, muchos spoilers. ETA: I just called my local theater, which is normally full of extreme fail, and they have Twilight listed as a horror movie lololololol Current Mood: Hormonal (9 Comments |Comment on this)
breecita	11:33a	\o/ http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=80273 You can buy me on your iPhone now. Yay for Samhain Publishing! (Comment on this)
rusty_halo	1:29p	New Server http://rusty-halo.com/wordpress/?p=2738 While LiveJournal was having its whole server migration adventure, I was having my own. I moved all my sites to a faster server this weekend, so if you noticed any downtime, that’s why. It was supposed to be a quick thing, but ended up taking two days. (*sigh*) And my email was out for two days, which nearly sent me into hysteria. You don’t realize how addicted to something you are until you lose it. (None of this was my fault, btw; after two days of frantic back and forth with the tech support guys, they were like “Oops, our bad,” and fixed some configuration thing that I had no access to. Argh.) Apparently several people were worried that All About Spike was down for good. (Awww! People still care!) As always, I promise to give lots of advance notice before I close it, and have no plans to do so anytime soon. I apologize for not giving advance notice of the downtime, but, er, I didn’t really think anyone was still reading. Glad to know some of you still are. Everything should be working fine now, but if you notice any problems with allaboutspike.com, writercon.com, supervegan.com, or rusty-halo.com, let me know! Oh, and if you tried to email me on Monday or Tuesday, you should probably try again; almost everything bounced permanently during that time.

sisterelwood	1:46p	JEFFREY DONOVAN PICSPAM!!! This was a lovely idea brought up by sneer to pass the time while we wait for LJ to get back online. I bring you my favorite actor ever, Mr. Jeffrey Donovan. You may know him better as J.J. Jones from Changeling or Micheal Westin from USA Network's Burn Notice. Heck you might even know him as David Creegan from USA Network's short-lived drama, Touching Evil. Or- maybe you've just seen him around as a guest star on Crossing Jordan, Monk, Law&Order, Witchblade, The Pretender, or Millennium (and that's just naming a few off the top of my head). However you know him, he is a great man and a great actor of stage, screen, and TV. Also? He has his MFA from New York University's Graduate Acting Program. Pretty and a brain- what more could you want? For more information on the man- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0232998/ And now for why you're here- THE PICSPAM!!! ( Jeffrey Donovan this way- NOT DIAL-UP FRIENDLY ) If you desire to see more of Jeffrey (and you know you do) then check out this website- http://jeffreydonovanfans.com/gallery/index.php Current Mood: Horny Current Music: nothing...

j_crew_guy	10:24a	"We're here! We're queer! Get used to it! Don't fuck with us!" Gay organizations must adapt to the new realities of activism or die. A photo gallery of the protests for gay marriage that swept the nation on Saturday. Wanda Sykes comes out at an anti-Prop. 8 rally in Las Vegas. "I'm gay and I'm pissed." Everyone enjoy some delicious, delicious schadenfreude as Focus on the Family, who dumped millions of dollars in the "Yes on 8" campaign, is laying off hundreds of employees. I'm sorry, I can't really feel any sympathy for the employees who were let go who considered working for Focus on the Family as "just a job". It certainly was "just a job". One where employees helped to spread an agenda of hate and intolerance. So, no. I don't really feel bad for them. No more Mr. Nice Gay? Christians were chased from San Francisco's Castro District Friday night by an angry mob. Do Mormons have embedded police officials watching out for them? Obama's change.gov website now features a comprehensive LGBT civil rights agenda, which is more comprehensive than anything we've seen from an incoming president to date. Dan Savage on what he wishes he'd said on Larry King. "Well, amongst other things: When political attacks are launched from churches, political responses will be delivered to churches. If goddamned McDonald's had organized and paid for Prop 8, we'd be marching on goddamned McDonald's. In case of LJ not being back up for awhile due to the move today, I am j_crew_guy on Journalfen and InsaneJournal. (Comment on this)
j_crew_guy	10:22a	Question for LJS fen... With Twilight hitting theaters this weekend and already selling out and another YA vampire series optioned for the big screen, (in this case it's the House of Night series from mother/daughter team P.C. and Kristin Cast), how long before the Vampire Diaries get turned into movies? Or will people get burnt out on movies based on YA vampire novels before they can get around to making a Vampire Diaries movie? (Comment on this)
shallow_kid	7:24a	Small fappings on the horizon Entertainment Weekly, the magazine that's been up Twilight's ass for the past several months posted a wanky complaint about the movie "Bolt" which basically reads as OMG I AM SO SICK OF "BOLT" YOU GUIZE. FUCK ABC FOR SHOVING THIS SHIT DOWN OUR THROATS. WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE AMIRITE!? Commenters respond along the lines of SHUT UP, EW, YOU'RE ONE TO TALK WHAT WITH YOUR TWILIGHT OBSESSION. WE'RE SICK OF THAT SHIT, YO. Doubtful that it'll grow. I can't imagine EW responding to the comments. ETA and sort of unrelated: Okay, I'm mildly fond of my mom and I appreciate that she passed on her love of reading but ... she reads crap. She thinks Eragon is awesome, big Iris Johansen fan, thought The Host was good, etc. You get the idea. I'm ... a bad person and I'm thinking of setting her up with Twilight. Just to see what would happen. She likes sucky books and she doesn't have a romantic bone in her body, and really she's sort of a passive/aggressive asshole and I want to see what Twilight will do to my mom, okay? For science. I want to see if she'll throw it at my head or if she'll become a Twimom. Am I a bad person? Current Mood: Caffeinated (3 Comments |Comment on this)

sepiamagpie	11:08p	More from 2004. It's almost like I'm making sure these are in a nice safe place for future rp purposes. ( 50 Alek Wek icons ) (Comment on this)

missm	7:32p	Birthdays and some LJ stuff Happy Birthdays, some belated, to skipthedemonponders_life,drewsilla, and valerie_z. I just used LJArchive to update the backup I keep of my journal. I've also changed my profile page around a bit with this Greasemonkey script by ciaran_h. It's easy to use and lets Firefox users change the appearance of the new layout to some extent. I hope to see you all, safe and sound, after the server move tomorrow. I wonder how many people will go into withdrawal and hang out at IJ or JF? (Comment on this)

apoplexia	4:07p	Crossover Madness! If you're one of the legions of disenchanted Heroes fans, I have a suggestion that I think will make the show more watchable: simply imagine that the Petrellis are in fact the Bluths. Let's face it, the mother had more than a touch of the Gangys to begin with. And once you start repeating all of Sylar's lines as if he was G(abriel).O.B., you'll find that the show is a lot funnier.

sepiamagpie	10:39p	Oooh. I like this meme. THIS IS MY ONLY BOOK ICON 1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 56. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions. 5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST. "You tell wonderful stories. You can do all the voices and make it exciting and then funny..." Mo crossed his arms over his chest as if hiding behind them. "You could read me Tom Sawyer," suggested Meggie, "or How The Rhinoceros Got His Skin." That was one of Mo's favourite stories. When she was smaller they sometimes played at having crumbs in their clothes, like the crumbs in the rhino's skin. "Yes, an excellent story," murmured Mo, turning his back to her again. Inkheart, by Cornelia Funke, found under a pile of dvds beside my foot. I thought I was going to have to figure out how to do a Schlock Mercenary collection which was on a hatbox about four feet away. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

rotten_fish	3:44p	Stolen from Tehrin I just picked this book up not more than thirty minutes ago.

ourself	8:23p	Dear Simon Amstell, I just watched four complete seasons of Never Mind the Buzzcocks, just to hear you talk.  I want to become a D-list celebrity, just so that you can mock me on your quiz show.  I love you (in a platonic way, because even if you were straight, I think that you would probably make a really neurotic significant other... but I kind of like that.... so I guess that now I'm sad that you are straight, since the possibility of our meeting and falling in love is so great in the first place... I have lost control of my ellipses).  -me PS - The haters are right, though.  It just isn't the same without Bill.  I miss your happy moptop, as well. (Comment on this)

mmanurere	10:51a	Spring schedule... So after taking 12 units this semester, it looks like this spring I'll have 18.5 instead. Physics, chemistry, math (ordinary differential equations), and a couple of music ensembles (master chorale and rock band -- great combination). It looks much more do-able if I don't think about the number of hours spent in a classroom and think more about how the physics and chemistry are both mostly things I've done before. (My physics class this spring is the one I'd be able to skip if my high-school counselor had actually signed me up for the electromagnetism section of the AP Physics C exam -- which I'd studied for -- way back 10 years ago.) I'll also be taking 7 units during the intersession -- which is four weeks long. This looks like the equivalent of doing 28 units during a semester, but the short-term classes have always been easier for me (and in this case they're both lower-division general-ed classes that I should have taken years ago). In the summer and fall, then, I move on to pretty much just engineering classes, with one math and one physics class thrown in. 24 more units (after this spring -- so just summer session and fall semester) and I'll have exhausted the math, physics and engineering departments at AVC completely -- and then it's a matter of figuring out where I can go next.

mmanurere	8:27a	AV moviegoers...(and elsewhere) The CEO of Cinemark donated $10k to the yes on Prop 8 campaign. Between this and their ridiculously unethical anti-union b.s., I think it's about time to avoid that movie-theater chain...but we seem to have a shortage of other options here in A.V.
