...or better, checking if I've done it properly, since I'm practically asleep.
Sorry for the lack of content (interesting or otherwise) but if it works, then I'll post the snowflake fandom challenge thing here as well :D

hugs all!

ETA: \0/ I did it!
(well, the lovely programmers here at DW made it so even I could do it succefully ;)

I've started being on line a bit more recently (I finished my second MA, too, that may account for my time being so consumed), but I used to post to DW and LJ with semagic in one simple click, and now I'm using my old desktop and semagic is not set up and I can't remember how to do it, or where I found the info. This is to say, I posted a couple of times on LJ, I'm not ignoring DW (wish everyone was here, in fact), but I need to sort the posting thingamajig.

In other news, I have a cold! YAY! Not. Been a week now, got emails to reply to and stuff to do and my head is all wrapped in thick wet cotton - that's how it feels, anyway. bah :)

hugs!

But but..where is [personal profile] lorelei633 gone? :(


For Supernatural fans, two films you may like:

FRAILTY
(two boys grow up with a father obsessed by demons)


STAKELAND
(young boy learns to kill vampire-zombies)

I really felt the Supernatural vibes in both films, and loved watching them (Stakeland can be slow paced in points, but I still enjoyed it). Made me all nostalgic about Supernatural and those first years of total adoration for it...I want to see next season nao :D Made me all the more nostalgic for all the great fanfiction I've read:)

If you watch these films, let me know what you think :D

Happy birthday (tomorrow!) to [profile] smilla02 :)

I'm a bad friend, never around these days, but once again, I do apologise and it's not lack of concern, just too much to deal with :(

I'm writing my thesis (I ended up writing something like Cronenberg does Victoriana, gothic body horror type thingy..I say!) and I have a slipped disc in my back, so things go up and down - if you know anyone wanting to get rid of a zero gravity chair, let me know! I need one, badly :) (second hand, third hand, etc)

(also if anyone has suggestions/advice for losing 30/40 kilos sensibly but steadily - considering that physical activity can't be too strenuous due to above slipping disc - please let me know :) it's either that, or surgery, and I don't want surgery on my spine :(

Thank you all for sticking around, I keep promising to be more around, but I think it'll have to wait past the summer.

I am however, looking forward to see the new SPN in September, Game of Thrones' second season and the New!Torchwood! which I missed last Thursday! (lots of painkillers, early sleep)

Thank you to [personal profile] caras_galadhon for the virtual chocolate pressie :) :) :)

Supernatural
Watched the season's ending, at last! Not a completely unexpected twist (for me anyway, the elements were all there), but very very nicely done. Don't know what or how fandom has reacted, though. Will try and look about.
Looking forward to next season :D


Game of Thrones:
watched the first series, can't wait for the second (spring 2012! ARGH!)
Not a fandom yet but ohsoclose :D

Professionals film:
bbcs news report the film as in preproduction, and I read rumours about casting...Gerard Butler & Jason Statham for the Lads, Gary Oldman or Liam Neeson as Cowley...oemgee. I don't know what to feel, laugh or cry? Wait and see, of course, but still...Pros film!

Mum's recording:
I found 30ish minutes or so of a recording of mum singing old partisan songs, after lunch, me and her sitting at the kitchen table. She was the storyteller. I miss her so.

In other news...still very much RL busy:( also, my back is hurting and I can't sit at the pc for long, so I end up doing work and that's it, no time for fun/fandom/LJ :(

hugs to all

Back, sort of. I'm away for the next few days, but I have watched SPN's last few eps (!!!), I'm watching Game of Thrones, I missed the latest DWho, and I have 26.000 words to write in a month... I'll browse the f-list and pepper it with comments asap, and shall post stuff when I come back...in the meantime, HUGS!

OH, AND!!!
Once a Thief (the series, Nick Lea, I. Sergei and S. Holt) is coming out on DVD! Another \0/ Dance of Joy.
It's announced on this site tvshowsondvd.   :)))
not dead 'm writing
I have my laptop (nicknamed Zaratustra, Zar in short) baaaaack!

*dances a happy dance*

I've been in a really major funk in the past month or so. For one thing, there are circumstances related to my mom's passing which are making my mourning and bereavement lasting longer and I'm still dealing with that with alternating results (so at times I'm okay and at times I'm not).
For another thing, the HD and the fan in the Zar crashed, so the laptop was at the doctors for a while. I said, well, I shall use my old desktop, and I did for a few hours (I still use it regularly for drawing and music)...until it made a big puff o'smoke! So it went at the pc hospital too.

But I have it back! \0/

I'll go catch up with SPN and everything else I can catch up with. Also, I watched the first three eps of Games of Thrones and I really really liked it! I mean, apart from Sean Bean ;) Haven't seen the latest Fast and Furious but I'm looking forward to it :)

If you think I missed something important, please point me to it!

All for now, back soon! :)

Came back yesterday from Cardiff, where vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org happened! It was pretty much amazing, and I'll put up a report asap/in the next few days:)

There was much squee, old vids, new vids, vidding panels (for vidders and non-vidders alike) and lovely people :D
There are plans to organise a third VIDUKON in two years time, so if you're interested in a songvid-based convention in the UK, please keep an eye on the con community :)

Everything else is fine, I'm just tired-tired-tired: end of term coincided with the con, so the past week has been intense.

But! Since the con was in Cardiff, I had some Torchwood-squee moments, stood near the fountain-thingy, walked along the docks, etc etc, aaaaand visited the Ianto Memorial (spontaneous collections of pics and writing made by fans). It was touching :)

hugs to all, vid-con report soon :)

Having the longest flu ever ...(oh I hate the flu/cold, it turnes my brain into complete mush! And my nose is so sore...:(
/whiny


BUT!

Was watching the film Jonah hex, and guess who pops up unexpectedly (he's also uncredited)?

Jeffrey Dean Morgan!
Just a small part, but still significant, and oh but it was a joy seeing him :D

Hope you're all well!

I should do more, and complain less.

Just browsing around quickly, I went to see a atheatre show yesterday (something based on Dickens' ghost stories), which was okay fun (love the theatre in principle), but then going back home I fell - the pavement's fault, I didn't see see the huge hole! - no big harm, but I messed up my right calf muscles/tendons.

Grrr.

Anyway, downloading SPN as I type.

Co-living is...interesting. Better than I thought on the practical level (easier, I mean). On the personal/intimate...uhm. I don't know. There's a strange 'distance' there. I'm not worried, just...I don't know. He's sincerely affectionate, but distant at the same time?

Maybe it's just me and one of my moodytimes :)

There's just so much to do!
Okay, my time on LJ is done (I'm afraid for the day). Hugs to all!

Just a quick note to say....I've managed not to watch this film until now (18 or so years later?) and not to read the book.
I cried like a baby. It's like King Kong (watched the original once, the black and white, and never after that first time, it broke my heart).
This one kind of broke my heart too.
Basically, the last 10 or so are one of the most intense scenes I've ever watched.
I'll watch it again (and yes, I'm aware of a number of issues, but filmic wise, the power of images and music to convey so much emotion, such intensity...)

I'm all shivers.

Have you watched it? Recently, at the time? Liked, disliked?

SPN latest

Just managed to watch the latest SPN episode...

Read more... )

I haven't read reactions yet, I'll do it now :)

TV watch

Bedlam ep2
still liking it, still watching it, still giving me that dose of TV horror I like (which I use to get from SPN, sigh)
more here )


SPN latest ep (6.14 I think?) Haven't read anyone's comments yet!
Read more... )

I haven't watched Outcasts past ep. 2, lack of time :(
And I missed Glee. Oh well.


In other news, thank you so much all of you for your support, I was really panicking the other day: your words did help a lot, THANK YOU. Will settle down, hopefully :) Fact is, TartanMan is sort of a stray-cat, with all the baggage of strays. But he's also lovely (to me anyway ;)

But thank you thank you thank you, ljers: you are wonderful :)

Now, I'm off to assemble a temporary thing for clothes storage AND research Victorian letter writing. Tere will be Batman Lego playing later :)
(default)
EEEEEEEKKK!

My partner (TartanMan or KiltBoy) is moving in! With me! In these next coupe of days!

I mean, I'm ecstatic about it, but also...PANIC!
I just didn't expect it so suddenly, from one day to the other. I made it clear I liked the idea (heck, the first thing I've done when I had the house keys was to make a copy and give it to him)...but in his typically bear-like ways, his hints at things changing were just that....hints!

I repeat...EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!

PANIC PANIC PANIC

*breathes into bag*

Nope, doesn't work... PANIC!

And yes, inside I'm probably smiling. But right now Panic is foremost, LOL

Happy birthday to [personal profile] deathisyourart! :D
We don't talk much, and practically at all lately cause I'm not around as much as I used to, but you're a great person and I enjoy your posts :D



Haven't watched the latest SPN yet (later tonight) so I'm not reading comments, sorry. I try to stay spoilerless now my love for the show has faded, so I enjoy the most of it :)



In RL, I'm very busy learning about Graphic Fiction and Its Mysterious Ways: it's fascinating, and I love writing scripts, I just wish there were no essays due, and instead there are :D

Hugs for all!

Outcasts ep2

I didn't like it as much as yesterday...can't say exactly why. It felt..reduced in scope.And I want more Mitchell, I guess. But I want to know what happens next. Besides, Eric Mabius is always a pleasure to watch :)


Bedlam ep1

Ohhhhh, niiiiiice :) I like basic, classic horro themes, and I didn't hate any of the main characters (even though the characters are all very much stereotypes). Will Young is extremely cute, and is it slash I foresee? Perhaps. I liked it and will make sure to watch next episodes. It gives me, horror-wise, a similar vibe to first series SPN. Which is good :)

What did you think?


Apart from that, I played Lego Batman lots today. Because today was one of those days.
(default)
Outcasts: cool! :)

Well, for the moment, it looks like a solid, enjoyable sci-fi serial! Yay \0/
I truly enjoyed, looking forward to see ep2. However...
question! )

That said, thanks TPTB for plus1 channels, cause I'm now off to watch the Rocky Horror Glee-fied :DDD
