venivincere	11:37a	Oh, I LOVE a good story! *bounce* You know what makes a good story a great story? It's when, at the end of Chapter 1, Favorite Character One announces to Favorite Character Two that someone is about to kill Favorite Character Three! Or shag him! Or take him away forever! Or marry him off to someone else! Any time the element of suspense is suddenly introduced, the story just goes WHOOOSH and I can't get to the next chapter fast enough. :-D *reads on liek woah* Current Mood: bouncy (Comment on this)

manticoran	9:12p	Erm. OK, I just snagged the above icon from winterfish here. I uploaded it to Livejournal, Dreamwidth, Insanejournal, and Journalfen a minute or so ago. The Livejournal page has just finished loading, whereas the other three loaded nearly instantly. What up, LJ? In other news, while I have commented on this, I think I have failed to mention this in an actual post, but The Good Wife is awesome. Amazing, complex characters, some of whom I don't like but still appreciate, especially including many women. And the women pass the Bechdel Test on a regular basis. I love it. Now for those of you who are lawyers and/or law students *waves at goldy_dollar*, I have no idea how much the legal aspects of this show are realistic or would annoy people who actually know about such things. However, I do think that the show is enjoyable even if one has to close their eyes, plug their ears and go "lalalala" during the lawyer bits. :-D There's enough going on besides the courtroom stuff. In other other news, I'm not sure why I'm still watching FlashForward. I'm still not finding any of the characters particularly engaging, which is usually what kills a show for me (the ONLY reason I'm still watching 24 is Jack Bauer and Chloe O'Brian, although I admit to not having gotten around to watching the last couple of episodes yet). And yet, I'm still watching it. I suppose the mystery is still keeping me around. ETA: OK, I've got to correct at least a little of the above, after seeing all of last night's new FlashForward. I really like Janis. ( Spoilers for the episode ) This entry was originally posted at http://beck-liz.dreamwidth.org/57940.html.

schtroumph_c	9:59p	More gifs!! They're less good, but still fine. I think I'm going to redo the Pah! scene a little bigger, to better see Tony's face. Behind the cut, one from Sub Rosa, when Tony's habit of touching Tim started, and four from Truth or Consequence, the Pah! scene, "It's not what I said" with Tony's smile at that, Action Timmy and scared Tony and Tony looking McGee and Abby singing. Tony's smile in this one? Makes me very, very happy. He loves him a lot! ( Read more... ) Current Mood: creative (Comment on this)

cruisedirector	12:30a	Poem for Thursday and St. Patrick's Day ( Whale ) cidercupcakes came over and suggested that we go to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Originally she was craving their mini corn dogs and I was thinking I might get their Thai chicken pasta without the chicken, but she ended up getting steak and I ended up getting pear-gorgonzola pizza with arugula that was really exceptional; I'm not always a big fan of the Cheesecake Factory, a lot of the time I find their portions and prices inflated compared to the quality of the food, but this was really good, and ridiculously inexpensive since it came off the small plates menu. Then we came back home and (this will surprise no one) watched more Avatar: The Last Airbender! Namely the end of the second season, plus the Halloween episode from early third season with blood-bending, which opens up all sorts of kinky possibilities for the water-benders, really. Anyway, it was a lovely afternoon. My other big accomplishment of the day was discovering that, while I can't seem to find a free Nero substitute that works with DVD Shrink and have created several coasters out of blank DVDs as a result, my ConvertXtoDVD works fine with Windows 7. I tested it burning Eastwick episodes, and went hunting a bit since I was missing the last episode aired in the U.S., and found not only that one but the two episodes that aired in Britain but were never shown by ABC! So I now have the entire series, and I have three to watch -- the twelfth episode, which was aired out of order here so it didn't make much sense, plus eleven and thirteen, which I've never seen. We had barley stew and soda bread for St. Patrick's Day, but since we don't have a drop of Irish blood that we know of among the four of us, my Superpoke Penguin had a more exciting celebration: ( Castles and Shamrocks, plus Stonehenge ) Current Mood: content Current Music: Colbert on the Irish shamrock shortage (Comment on this)

manticoran	11:35p	Also... ... are LJ notifications broken again? *pokes* I'm getting some, but most definitely not all. Harumph.

manticoran	11:06p	What the... LJ just went and changed the icons that appear at the top of everyone's posts - you know, track, memory, report, etc. (OK, I don't know when they did it exactly, as I was gafiating Monday & Tuesday, but still, they did this VERY RECENTLY.) I seriously do not need any more change this week. *hides* *pokes head back out* What ELSE have they done? Where's that community that summarizes LJ news for those of us who don't particularly want to read the whole news post? I thought I had it friended... or are they just not actually updating anymore?

cruisedirector	12:48a	Poem for Wednesday and Paul Gross ( Ecclesiastes 11:1 ) I'm typing this on my finally-repaired new computer, which was fixed by a Dell technician around noon today -- now it has a working memory card reader, so I can get images off the cards I use in my cameras! Yay! And I have established that it can burn CDs and read all my flash drives, so I assume the drives are not in conflict with one another. All I need to do now is figure out replacement programs for Nero and Retrospect, since I can't afford to replace either, having broken down and ordered the newest version of Photoshop Elements. Plus I have to decide what I'm going to do about a scanner since there are apparently no Windows 7 drivers compatible with mine and I can't figure out whether there's such a thing as a generic scanner driver considering that my computer believes mine to be a generic scanner (Acer stopped supporting its scanners before Vista). Any suggestions for cheap/free DVD authoring software or backup programs, and any idea where to find the cheapest decent flatbed scanners? My day was excellent in other regards anyway, since dementordelta came over and brought Paul Gross, whom we had with lunch. That is, she brought the DVDs of Men With Brooms and Wilby Wonderful, and after going out to Lebanese Taverna to pick up hummus and fatayer, we watched those, plus a couple of episodes of Due South because Paul didn't have scenes with Callum Keith Rennie in Wilby, which is a really delightful film -- I didn't know Ellen Page was in it, and I actually liked the mother-daughter storyline better than the gay scandal storyline which was more predictable. Men With Brooms felt like a Due South spinoff in a lot of ways -- ghosts talking, Canadian folk music, Leslie Nielsen, Paul Gross's Oedipal issues with dead mother...has anyone ever asked him in an interview whether he believes in ghosts, or whether he has half the issues with his own father that so many of his characters seem to have? Anyway, I enjoyed that a lot too, though I don't have a clue whether the curling is realistic! Here are some more photos of animals at the National Aquarium on Saturday, including seahorses for dementordelta. Happy St. Patrick's Day if you celebrate culturally or by proxy!

schtroumph_c	10:43p	NCIS Picspam/Review 7o17 Double Identity.

ngaio	7:57p	Note Just a quick note to say that I'm not here right now. I should be back Saturday, probably, but I seem to be feeling rather anti-social and enjoying the peace of books rather than the colours of online. Y'all be good and well and stuff and I'll be back soon, sorry if I'm missing anything important. Current Mood: groggy (Comment on this)

titti	9:46a	I haven't posted in AGES. It's so strange. I don't even know why. You stop writing and then it becomes sranger and stranger to post something, like you feel disconnected and why should people even care. So what have I done lately: - I send in my dracobigbang yesterday. I have not finished a fic in so long. It's exciting to write HP again. - My soul has been sucked by breaking_point. We're looking for players and it's a pretty active game. If you are interested go here. - Formula 1: Shumi I love you, but GO FERRARI!!! Now off to do the Snitch. (Comment on this)

schtroumph_c	4:02p	NCIS Picspam + review 7o16 Yeah, I know, it's late. I still didn't find the trick to do every thing I want without losing my mind. On the other side, I finally got an idea for the nursery rhyme I'm supposed to write for school. (setting: carnival, 5/6 years olds, building a drum, use a known music. I'm going to use the seasons, paint the 'drumsticks', actual chopsticks and decorate the box for the drum in three colors corresponding to one season, ending with spring. I tried to be serious about it, but I think I'm still going to use Rick Astley for the music.) Now, the picspam!
