The sky: most epic sadface ever. ):
I wish I'd managed a good photo of it. (I will probably be scraping astro-blogs to make an icon or two later. Just 'cause, y'know.)
Anyway. I was going to post some music, and photos, and stuff, but I apparently suck too much to figure out how to log in to my webspace account. ):
Also, I have very nearly 900 paper cranes folded, I recounted them tonight, and I still don't have a wish. (I started folding them the winter my father died. I didn't have a wish then, either, but it was something I could do, when I needed to do something but couldn't. And I've kept it up, off and on, because it helps, to make something and put what I'm feeling in it. And I use candy wrappers and eat the chocolate as I go, which also helps.)
So. If you had a thousand paper cranes, what would you do with them?

Final toll:
The squirrels got one santa hat, two cardboard boxes, and bag full of what would have been kindling if I ever got around to lighting fires. Could have been much worse.
Took this opportunity to clean out the closet, which should have been done ages and ages ago. Have acquired three new plastic tubs.
Also, Christmas decorations are up.
Bah, humbug.
current music: STAR WARS IS THE MOST AWESOME MOVIE EVER.

December Picspam
December is a time for giving, a time for sharing, a time for making dreams come true, and it is in this spirit that we would like to give the gift of another chance to some of our previous poll contestants, who would've originally had a hell of a lot more votes if frigging Karl hadn't been skewing all our polls for months on end. Let's go!
Poll #428 December Picspam Poll!
Open to: All, results viewable to: AllCHOOSE WISELY!
Okay, yeah, maybe Karl didn't take all that many votes away from People Who Look Vaguely Like Ducks, but still! It's my poll, I'll make fun of Jensen Ackles if I want to. MAKE YOUR CHOICE! CLICKY CLICKY CLICKY! <3

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT PICSPAM BEHIND THE CURTAIN!
Hello members! As you may have noticed, we've been having some... er... technical difficulties here at Hot Daily today, which are totally due to issues that are technical in nature and not at all due to any sort of coup attempts that may or may not have been crushed under the heel of my vaguely despotic stylishly sexy boot. No really!
So with that in mind, let's just set aside those last two posts and move forward in a spirit of reconciliation, for even though this month's poll may have perhaps been slightly skewed in one man's favor, the people have spoken, your voices have been heard, and there was, quite clearly, one hands-down poll winner.
I'm speaking, of course, of Tickybox.
( Oh, Ticky, you're so fine! )
And that's it for this month's third picspam! Tune in tomorrow for next month's poll, which will be full of completely legitimate categories, I promise. XD

Crustaceans!
I have at least two surviving babby crayfish because I saw two together! YoY
I also bought three of these red claw macro shrimp today and they are awesome. I would show you my own pictures, but they have vanished into the depths of the plants and probably won't be seen again for a week. I'm excited that they have supressed larval development (meaning instead of having a free-swimming larvae stage which is hard to feed and keep alive, they basically hatch as miniature adults and are much easier to raise) because I'd like to hopefully have a bunch of these too. The whisker shrimp I got a couple of months ago don't have a suppressed development so it will be difficult to get any survivors from the bunch in the Battlestar. I may stick a bunch of them in outside ponds in the spring and see how they do out there since people generally have success raising ghost shrimp that way.

So, if someone had happened to be seduced into reading Merlin fic over Thanksgiving holiday, does anybody know where she could find the show streaming online (in the US)?
Veoh seems to have most of it, but their web player doesn't work right for me, and I'd prefer not to have to download...

Monthly Picspam: Karl Urban
Yes, finally! After months of waiting and hours spent hacking Hot Daily, I have finally done it! Karl Urban is no longer a bridesmaid! Now he gets to claim his place as one of the Hot Daily Hotties...even if I had to steal it for him.
Join me on an adventure I like to call the journey ( from bridesmaid to bride. )
Now I think we nee--
THIS COMMUNITY HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY PEOPLE AGAINST THE PEOPLE FOR THE UNFAIR ADVANTAGE OF KARL URBAN IN HOT DAILY POLLS. STAY TUNED FOR PICTURES OF PEOPLE HOTTER THAN KARL URBAN.

My word count is pastede on yay
Someone claims to have 'won' NaNoWriMo with 2.5 million words, a feat so fantabulous it apparently requires announcing twice.
Unfortunately, checking out his website reveals that he used a less than conventional technique to reach this count:
In order to compile so many words in such a short time, Leach leaned heavily on the Internet. He generated what he calls a “non-linear literary collage” by mining various blogs, chat rooms and fan fiction sites, grabbing whatever words caught his eye.
“The talk pages of Wikipedia and the reader comments on io9.com were my absolute favorites,” he said. “These are my people. I shamelessly plagiarized their words -- even their misspellings and gramatical errors -- at every opportunity, combining the anonymous messages with recycled content from ‘Marienbad My Love’ and entries from my dream journal. I repeatedly cut and pasted and searched and replaced, transforming the various writings into a completely new and unique literary work.”
NaNoers are Not Amused.
Edited to add my favourite reply from the forums so far:
Plagiarizing other peoples' words is not writing. It's plagiarism, pure and simple, contrary to the spirit of Nano.
Not to mention that your pretense is so thick you could stand on it and not worry about sinking for a good three hours.
