There's still the Doctor. From what little I understand of him, Time doesn't hold him. He's beyond its reach. The Doctor will always be there. And Peri. I'll always have Peri.


...okay, I ship them. A LOT.

Tess is completely unable to tell when Liam and Conor are messing with her head. It's cute. <3

I'm behind on my word count, but if I hit 32,000 tonight and average 2,000 words a day for the rest of November, I can still make it! ...let's see if that happens. :/


Good news time: I have almost finished my RL Christmas shopping! I'm doing it all online but that's irrelevant! My mom is the only one I haven't bought for yet, and I'm pretty sure I know what's I'm getting her. (Related: FLIST. WISHLISTS. Pls? :O ) Animorphs is apparently being rereleased in 2012 with new covers and (possibly) somewhat modernized content! There are new Doctor Who spoiler filming pics on the Internet!

That's a lot of exclamation points!


UNRELATED: Please assure me that other people on my flist who are not me play/have played/are aware of the existence of the game Egyptian Ratscrew? ...please?

...I need to stop spending money.

(Today I bought two Discworld books plus the Doctor Who "The Beginning" DVD set. All excellent purchases, but still, I need to stop spending money.)

(In related news, I am still waiting for my signed copy of the xkcd book. Or even a shipping notice, I would take a shipping notice happily. COME ON, RANDALL. Please? I realized when I ordered it that I would probably regret ordering a signed copy, but I thought that would be because of the price hike not the interminable wait. *sadfaces a bit*)

(Also in related news, omg how much do I want this shirt? SO MUCH.)


...um.

I actually wrote fic last night! *flail* Okay, it's under five hundred words, it's Ghostwriter fic of all things, and it probably sucks -- I haven't yet looked at it in the light of day -- but, still, I wrote something.

Anyway, meme!

01. Comment to this entry saying 'ICONS!' and I will pick 6 of your icons.
02. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I picked!

Have been spending absurd amounts of time hunting Doctor Who filming spoilers. I hate that we still have so long before we find out what kind of Doctor Matt Smith really will be. I'm excited about him.

My life continues to be boring. Job hunting, bah humbug.

I have, however, gotten caught up on Torchwood! spoilers, I guess, if anybody is even more behind than me )



Still have Psych, Pushing Daisies, Kings, and Dollhouse to get caught up on, but I'm getting closer! ...it's irritating how far behind I am in everything.

Grabbed from [info]kawaiispinel and [info]allfireburns.

1. Reply to this post with 'Icons!', and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will - allegedly - create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.


Keywords: cookies!
by [info]nikiness

Once upon a time there was a [info]metaquotes post that involved the phrase "We're having hot lesbian sex. And by lesbian sex we mean tea. But it's still hot." This amused a great many people and inspired a great many icons. Teh Niki and I were discussing it, and we were both amused by the phrase, and one or the other of us said, "It's totally about us! Except neither of us drinks tea!" So at some point in this conversation I suggested the substitution of cookies, and she made the icon, and lo, you have our relationship in a nutshell.
Also, the cookies are chocolate chip, if there was any doubt.

Keywords: The X-Files - chicafrom3
by [info]fandomfrom3; don't take, plz!

There's another story behind this one, and again it's weirdly convoluted. My first solid introduction to online fandom was the official X-Files message board, way back in the day when I was very young. I needed a screenname, thought about it for a while, and finally impulsively decided to name myself after Kristen Kilar, the vampire wannabe Mulder hooks up with in the second-season episode "3". Rather than actually try to register a variant of "KristenKilar" or the like, I called myself chicafrom3. The name stuck, and still does, as you've noticed. This icon's really nothing more or less than a nod to the origins of my screenname -- Mulder and his vampire love interest.

more icons! )

> Today we cleaned house. Sort of. Ish. My mom cleaned out her room and I cleaned out the living room and made a dent in the mess that is my room. I even threw some stuff away, be proud of me. Also I reorganized my library and discovered that I can no longer find my copies of So You Want To Be A Wizard and Men At Arms, and am going a little bit crazy trying to track them down again.

> I watched The Aztecs on DVD while cleaning. ILU, Barbara Wright. Marry me, pls?

> I want this shirt.

> I also want new ARD:U. UPDATE THE SITE NAO PLS GAIZ?

> What's the lolcat spelling of guys? I think I do it a different way every time, which probably isn't right.

> As of today I own Turn Coat! I'm very excited, people have told me that it's a major game-changer, and something about Thomas, idk. But I bet it'll be an awesome read. Yay Dresden Files!

> The Tony noms are going to be announced May 5th! *flail* Do want to know. [tos] better be nominated for some awards, I'm just sayin'. Also Lin-Manuel will be one of the people announcing the nominations, so that's just plain awesome.

>I always have things to say listed in my head and then I sit down and make these lists and forget half of them. Sorry?

I don't know if I can wait 'til fall for more new DW on my television computer screen!

Planet of the Dead, OMFGYAY )

So I think I need to rewatch to see if it holds up once the shiny-new-glee is gone, and I have a sneaking suspicion there are probably plot holes and other irritants, but right now I am riding high on squee and glee and I LOVE MY SHOW GUYS.

Fools! I will destroy you all! Ask me how!  
Snagged from [info]atrypical:

(1) Choose an episode of anime or television series you have on your computer. Make sure you're certain you want that one, you cannot change or mind once you skips this step. DO NOT TELL YOUR FLIST WHAT YOU CHOSE.
(2) Make note of how long the episode is here -> Length of episode(s) = A: 24:09, B: 24:09, C: 24:27, D: 23:59 Length: 42:01.69
(3) Ask your flist to choose a time between 00:00 and whatever the length of your episode(s) is are. Be specific, (ie: 19:11, 21:09, 02:42)
(4) Make them an icon using THAT FRAME ONLY no matter what it is. And remember, you can only use that ONE episode you chose previous, even if the person posting isn't familiar with it.



Snagged from [info]morgeil:

Picspam time! Pick one of my fandoms, comment with a character or relationship or episode (or tell me to pick my favourite), and I will do another post with some awesome pictures of said character/relationship/episode.


Also, Doctor Who spoilers are making me a bit flaily, guys. It can be new canon tiem nao, plz?

So far today I've called Artist Arena to switch my concert tickets to the Friday show, sent off resume/references/letter to three theaters with job openings (an ME position, an assistant ME position, and a light board op position), and submitted "The End Of The Road (Is The Beginning Of Your Life)" to [info]fic_tossed for a review. It's kind of sad that the most recent Whofic I've written was in September '07.

And! Artist Arena just e-mailed me again to tell me that the deal's been upgraded and now they'll be refunding the full cost of the tickets, so I'll be going to see the Friday show free of charge. Which is kind of awesome, yo. I mean it's not awesome that they're this desperate to get people to switch to Friday, and I feel bad for the people who can't switch and who might wind up getting turned away from the door on Saturday, and HoB kind of sucks for overselling their show, but I'm going to see the Pogues for no cost. That's kind of awesome.

Also that one Harper vid I was talking about several posts a month or so ago is very nearly done.

All in all, a good day so far.

Prompt submission for [info]lgbtfest closes at 5PM EST today, so if you have any prompts you'd like to see written, get 'em in.


Also, I am bizarrely cheered up by the fact that pretty much every time I see a picture of Matt Smith, he's wearing a hat. I really, really want his Doctor to wear a hat. I am becoming more and more invested in the idea of the Eleventh Doctor wearing a hat the longer we go without official word on his costume, and the more photos of Matt in hats that I see.
