I redid the poll, this one works, if you couldn't previously you can CLICK NOW.
Why did the Olson twins not play Wraiths? They'd not even need make-up!
ontd political barely gets a promille of the ontd comments and I'm still listening to Let Down all the time, Thom Yorke crashed the Copenhagen summit.

If you think I'm paranoid, you don't know me. Nevertheless gremlins decided nobody (me included) could take/view my last poll, LJ support hasn't replied and my chair just broke off half of my toe nail, so I recreated it, sans le riveting insomnia.
PLS TAKE ZIS POLL!
This is not a test! This is serious! So there is no fun option like "I don't read anything by you" or "You write?" or "I can't read" or "Who are those people?" or "Cam from Bones, yum", no matter how apt these points would be.
Poll #1501002 141
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 21 What would *you* rather read if *i* wrote it:
Robson Green's Extreme ... Swimming
( tight little buns, flat belly and wide shoulders )
PS from an unposted draft: I Nikola Tesla.

Wasn't sure if anybody needed them, but: if you do NOT currently have a paid account, I can give you a 10 dollar voucher so you only pay 10/15 instead of 20/25 dollars for a whole year of LJ. If you don't use it, it gets returned to "me". I only need your LJ name, not even email, and might just mail them to randomnly if there's no interest here.
ETA: since I can send them out until the 15th Jan. 2010 you'd be able to wait with activation at least that long as well.
ETA: I sent them so some of you, though it only offers me mutual friends, so I still have many left.
ETA: I thought Cameron's Avatar was a different film to Avatar-The Last Airbender? Weird.

Trying for the nth day (month) to fix the one/ly present I need to give, I of course ended up betaing a story all afternoon, my first beta in a long time. For a minute there, I felt a slight connection with fandom.
"Of course", because after clogging all drains with paper- and candle-making, ruining my wardrobes after a decade of not daring to betterise them - and other manic craft outbreaks - this is exactly what I did(n't) need (to do) right now.
I might actually post a fic of my own again!
Under a pseudonym, of course.
Okay, okay, I can't blame you for not believing me. Have some fandom snowflakes; they are quite nifty and include Discworld, Top Gear, SPN, ST and Merlin.
More details on Joe's film-in-progress.

Because people are still getting into the start of this:
LJ was going to make selecting either male or female gender mandatory,
like most sites I know (eg. Goodreads, Hotmail/Gmail IIRC).
For the first time I wonder if selecting female would have given me less adds,
but I think it'd only have been more about weight and depilation instead of sex.
They already backpedalled and claimed it was a mistake and they WILL NOT do that.

how explosively dangerous is the remains of the mixed wax that i didnt accidentially pour down my ffffffff drains?
dangerous because it contains not just normal wax but also some graveyard candle wax which is "only to be lighted outside", crumbles into softisch smelly lard and turns the mix into granulated ... stuff, like badly cooked butter, when mixed with water (as i said, the bit that s not now clogging my drains forever oh gahd dammit). i ve had self-made left-over candles sputter metres high and wide before
help?

| » mood: adio mondo | | » music: The opera, the opera - do you like the opera? |
CLICK to read my philos- oh, sorry, my thinky thoughts! ;) Original size of my postage-stamp small note made during the opera, because although I fumbled and daringly switched on my mobile, the actors had switched places in the meantime so not even a blurry memory-enhancer was possible. And I needed it because I'm not into bondage and hate subjugation, and though this wasn't the second and was meant to be something completely different - the guy is the buffo - the fact that the young man was played by a woman resonated more (with me?) than any of the open couples.
Now, it's a well known (and mostly true) cliché that gay men like opera. But I can't imagine it's because of the homosexual imagery, because that is mostly lesbian, as - at least today - women sing and play men, ie. the reverse of the classical theatre situation. And yet it was a basically heterosexual couple that had a completely non-sexual scene that was turned into a bizarrely intimate session.
( Inspector Rex, Louis de Funes + Matt Lucas )
I'm posting this because - if you're still reading - it stirred the first interest in writing such a scene or anything intimate in ages. Various couples were considered and discarded, because the associations (from various kink fics) would not be right. The suspended, dreamy scene wasn't about even the most harmless SM, and John (yeah, yeah, haven't found another must character yet) doesn't enjoy being at anybody's mercy.
And that is why I need a superlative camera, like Bond's. That's not just an empty phrase (anymore) they really come stamp sized, yet zoom across 500 metres of stage and audience in the dark. You see why I need it, right?
PS: in case you're wondering why and how I could or did ( running inside the opera is strongly encouraged )

Thanks to hellblazer I found out that THHGG's Arthur Dent - as in the late Arthur Dent, ie. the first and original one, not the lateST - is James Bond's cousin, the lateST Bond in this case. I couldn't believe it wasn't a spoof for a while because to me both men are very well known and very dear in seemingly very different ways.
Thanks to Jace Hall via idee_fixe I found out that - everything crossed - Joe Flanigan will get to do his Western, and with cool co-stars like Robert Patrick and Samantha Mathis!
Thanks to a - bronchovaxom induced? - cough and rain, I won't go shopping again. My haunted, haphazard home-improvement is still being attacked, or is that meant to be tackled:
-> guess what it is meant to become?
ETA: Carlo Rota (again) Phil LaMarr, Marc Blucas and Pitoc in one ep?! Who, how, and why yet bad overall?

I received a little surprise gift in my LJ, thank you anonymous, I treasure every single flake of snow in my life :)
ETA: it would be cool if a certain number of them got one a snowball, and even more enabled you to build a snowman - or snowcat - did I ever show you my snowcats - okay I know they are meant to be cookies but I'm tickled by the Tyler Durden aspect plus I want snow more than cookies, don't gasp.
To make up for the pictures I scared you with recently, here are some wonderful women:
As mentioned in gaffsie's more contemporary post, it's already the norm for women on screen to kick-box, shoot and be tough these years. Aeryn, Buffy, Faith, Bones, Eowyn, Jane Tennyson, Kate Beckett, Lara Croft, Miss Bianca, Mrs. Frisby, Martha Jones, Morgana, Nikita, Ripley, Sam Carter, Sarah Connor, Sarah Jane, Teyla, Veronica Mars, V heroine, Warehouse heroine, Women's Murder Club lead, Xena, Zoe ( intriguing images )

Did you all get the Grammercy 111 photos of Joe? Despite skip -990, I saw no mention of it, but it's been half a year, Firefox keeps insisting I do not HAVE a friends page, and somehow I seem to have mislaid a few journals?
All the photos I saw show a similar angle; here is a nice large one (slightly edited) with added pointy finger:

ep 10 - Heat (aka Warmth):
The ship keeps heating up, so they all have to undress until naked female soldiers (previously unseen) find the sprinkler system that Rush had hidden from them, even though Young had done nothing but watch him day and night.
ep 11 - Space (aka Room):
The ship starts shrinking, until they all end up in one room, very closely pressed together. Chloe "makes friends" with the two guys she's previously overlooked. So does Matt. Ron is not amused.
ep 12 - Wheat (aka Food II):
The ship starts sprouting plants, due to the hydroponics having merged with the system. Eli has to eat it all, because Rush has hidden the scythe. Camille locks herself in a closet with the transfer stones until Young breaks down the door, thinking she's also gone to "be friends" with his wife.
ep 13 - Death (sudden unexpected cancellation enforces the 111th ep to be pulled forward):
The ship finally falls apart, and Rush has hidden all the duct tape. Chloe finally "makes friends" with Eli (Matt doesn't) and Young "reconnects" with TJ because he realises Rush will never return his feelings.

No need to see DW:TWoM but watch the Dr. Who trailer for the Christmas Special! You know I never ever watch those and abhor any spoilers, but this teaser I recommend (for peeps who kinda like whom I like) ... I guess I'm late again since youtube even has fan footage that's 6 months old.
Are we waiting for our cue or in search of an audience? As I said last time, it's been six years since I started my "live journal", and the thing I miss most might - surprisingly - is the genuine ( LOL; these days I blink ) How is that for you? I remember friends also having had the LOL-saying tick, but not the blinking ...
I've been reading a few hundred books the last two years, and I also watched a lot of shows I never mentioned, amongst those SG-U (but only after the story I posted six weeks ago). The show is beyond the pale.
( Caps - incl. Carlo Rota from 'Little Mosque on the Prairie' - and why I took them ) I think because it seems like the only link to what we had 3-5 years ago.
ETA: article by a professional +former fan, polite but right.
ETAAGAIN: ( about Bobby )
His character, by the way is in NO WAY horrible or an asshole or those "u" words I can't remember now I read in the comments of the article above. Rush is not comparable to Picardo's character, let alone to McKay's rudeness. He is unSENTIMENTAL (pls. ignore horrible love interest angle that surely will come) which is my one epiphany this year in that it's what people mean when they decry a character as unEMOTIONAL. And there are so precious few of the former and they are always mislabled, see even J, while the main cast (esp. here, or see Carson Beckett) wallow in sentimental platitudes, and to simply point out that those are hypocritical in the face of facts makes a character bad or cold while at the same time giving the sentimental ones the excuse to have been forced to do the only sensible thing while still being the "emotionally adult" ones!

Dear anonymous,
thank you so much for your gift! Please forgive my slightly delayed response, tricky times. I've racked my brains to come up with something in return. I have all sorts of drafts (incl. pictures and songs) still in the making. I'm enabling anonymous commenting, disabling IP logging and screening comments on this post so that you can tell me anything that you might fancy.
In the meantime, and working along the statistical probability that as a reader of this journal you might like J, here's a little picture.
