This is the second part of end-of-year mega quiz, containing 10 rounds of 10 questions each. The quiz includes spoilers for several recent films, TV shows and books, so you participate at your own risk.

Once again I am screening the replies to this post and will be awarding the Tiara to the person who gets the most questions right, rather the first person to answer the questions as I usually do. The winner will be announced on the 10th January, so make sure that you make sure your answer has been posted by 5pm on 9th January (UK time) to make sure you don't miss out in your chance for the virtual sparklies!

The quiz was premiered live at my Buffy Christmas get-together in December and people who were there are ineligible. Congratulations go to [info]aaron1972 for winning the live action version of the quiz and many thanks to everyone who contributed questions.

PS: [info]multiclassgeek, Mozo's section was "Classical BSG" (as in BSG and the classics) rather than "Classic BSG (as in the original series). Sorry for any confusion that caused.

Part 2 of the quiz will be up tomorrow and will be screened like this part.

End of Year Mega Quiz Part 1 [21 Dec 2007|08:36am]
[ mood | busy ]

Christmas Mega-Quiz part 1

This is the end-of-year mega quiz - split into two halves this year. The first half will cover two weekends as I am away over Christmas itself and then have a houseparty immediately afterwards. This half has 15 rounds of 5 questions each, only 10 of which I have written myself I'm pleased to say!

The quiz includes spoilers for several recent films, TV shows and books, so you participate at your own risk.

I am screening the replies to this post and will be awarding the Tiara to the person who gets the most questions right, rather the first person to answer the questions as I usually do. I will tot up the points once the Christmas madness is over and post the answers and the winner on the morning of 3 January, so you don't need to reply straight away - indeed, it would be easier for me if you all did just one reply each. I'll need a little time to do the maths so I suggest that you make sure your answers have been posted by midnight on 1 January (UK time) to make sure you don't miss out in your chance for the virtual sparklies!

This quiz was premiered live at the SFX forum's Cottage Meet last November - people who were there are ineligible and I would be grateful if they could restrain themselves from setting up sockpuppet accounts simply to enter! Congratulations go to Llama God for winning the live action version of the quiz and many thanks to everyone who contributed questions.

CTQ 31/3: Christmas Mega-Quiz Part 1 )

Part 2 of the End of Year Mega Quiz will go up on Friday 4 January. It will also be screened, but will only run for the usual week.

For some bizarre and inexplicable reason [info]violet_wizard and I went to see "Bratz the Movie" this afternoon. Though I can't remember any of the songs, I have been left with a strange urge to go out and buy lipgloss.

Suzi Quatro's a what? [13 Aug 2007|06:41pm]
[ mood | Amazed ]

A Grandmother, that's what.

I was at the dentist's this evening and as the hygenist was scouring my gums with a brillo pad (as they do) I was half listening to someone interview Suzi on Radio 2. Suddenly I heard her talking about how her Granddaughter comes to see her shows these days and I was gobsmacked... well, not literally - the Hygenist isn't quite that sadistic!

Now logically speaking I know that she's old enough, but I can still remember when my age was still in single figures and she was the bad girl we all wanted to grow up to be (Marie Osmond being pretty much the the only alternative role mode at the time). I just can't believe that now she's more St Winifred's School Choir than Devil Gate Drive.

2. Do American Schools really teach pupils that the Black Death started in Europe as an early form of Germ Warfare ?(AKA, I just watched "Welcome to the Hellmouth")

3. Does anyone want to go to Asylum 2 with me? (AKA, yes, I'm pathetic and friendless)

4. Why does Sky Premier think I want to watch Munich every night this week? (AKA, thank God FX have a Dexter marathon tomorrow for those of us with no life)

Hints and Tips [09 Aug 2007|02:55pm]
[ mood | nerdy ]

Over the last couple of days I’ve been fiddling around with various tools to post entries to, back-up and transfer journals and just thought I’d let you know which ones have worked well for me:

Just Finished Reading the LJ-Biz Update [08 Aug 2007|02:44pm]
[ mood | angry ]

Hells teeth, the LJ mess is just getting nastier and nastier. I don’t want to leave – whilst those of you who went through The Harem relocation will know that I’m a “burn your bridges” sort of person, my friends and communities are here and they aren’t anywhere else in large numbers – but their recent “clarification” is driving me ever closer to having to leave on principle even though I’ll suffer for it and they won’t.

For the time being I’m cross posting between journals, but only answering quiz replies on LJ because trying anything else will fry my brain. For the future, I just don’t know. My paid journal still has several months to go, so I guess I have some breathing space at least.

Damn you LJ – why are you making it so difficult for me to be lazy?

Now I've got one, maybe one day I'll have the nerve to actually post at those comms that I lurk at over here!
