Because amphetamine_47 needed a little pick-me-up:

First--shame on you.

Second--go check out this awesome picspam by wowsugarpuss_ for the Penny/Sheldon storyline. (Don't be fooled, the Raj/Howard/Leonard storyline was pretty hilarious, too).

Went to the library to pick The Time Traveler's Wife.  I put a hold on it a couple months back, and it's now finally my turn to read it.  I haven't seen the movie yet.  Deciding whether or  not I want to after reading the novel.  But first I must finish Carrie Fisher's The Best Awful, which so far hasn't been too bad.  I have the audio recording of Wishful Drinking but haven't actually read-read one of her books before.  I just came off of a binge of Kathy Reich's books that inspired the show Bones (read all 12 in 3 months), so I've been in speed reading mode, and you can't really do that with Carrie's book.  

Any other books you think I should be reading?  I prefer lighter stuff as opposed to books that, you know, force you to think.

It's been so long since I've done an icon update and I had so many that the 202 icons had to be split into two posts:

 A year ago I started my Nano challenge.  Thinking about it now, part of me wonders whether or not it was really worth it.  Yes, I have the majority of an epic written.  Yes, it made me outline the following two stories in the trilogy.  But it also left me with a mess to edit.  I don't have the energy to refine it.  I can't begin to think about starting the next story (or really even finishing the one I spent a month writing last year) because I don't feel like I've done enough with what I have.  

Any one else been in this situation?  Which do you think is better: leaving the plot bunnies in your head or half-finished on paper?

 A few weeks ago one of the supervisors at  the store I work at part-time told me I should dress up as Velma from Scooby Doo for Halloween.  I told her that I hadn't dressed up in a decade.  But this year I figured, why not.  Maybe it'll make work go by a little quicker tonight.  Thus...

crazyvictoria did a meme where you post TV posters for all the show you watch, your favs, whatever. Below the cut you will find the shows I'm watching right at this moment. It varies depending on the time of the year.

 In case you don't watch Castle...

I want to color, but there isn't any new lineart for me to do it.  I want to draw, but I lack the skill to pull off what I want.  I want to write, but am too lazy to type out the scenes floating in my head.  

I guess I'll just crawl into bed and watch last night's Dollhouse instead.

Blah. 

Do me a favor and go break the ties over at voy_stillness , pretty please?

Not much of an update I know, but at least it's something.  I just posted my entries for the second round of 10walls .  This round focused on the themes of sins and virtues.  To see all ten of my desktop wallpapers, go here.  Fandoms include Pushing Daisies, Battlestar Galactica, Glee, Star Wars, Beauty & The Beast, The Dark Knight, and Wicked. 

I.  Love.  Glee.  So much that even though I hate sentences written in that manner, it deserves it.  Z and I both agree that when we die and go to heaven, God better let us be able to sing like black girls so we can belt like Mercedes at the end of "Somebody to Love" or "Gold Digger".  Holy crap.  Was anyone else tearing up at the end of the song?  Just me?  Ok.

Sorry, that's as deep as my journal is going to get tonight.  Time to go back to singing along with the Glee cast.

Warning: geeky talk ahead.  Feel free to turn back now.

So today I watched last week's season premiere of The Biggest Loser (while eating obscene amounts of french toast and sausage, which kind of defeats the purpose of the show, but whatever.  And I can't remember if this was a conversation I had with jade_skywalker or ginchy , but I remember one of them writing a fic where they brought some Jillian into Mara's character, and that's all I could think of while watching the show.  Luke and Mara being the Bob and Jillian of the Jedi Praxeum.

One of the contestants made the comment of "You think Bob is going to be all nice, but he can get really mean.  Jillian is exactly as you think she'll be."  I can see students thinking Luke will be the nice teacher, but I'm sure he lost his temper a time or tow.  And woe to the student who tried to slack off in Mara's training exercises.  I can easily see Jillian as being a brunette version of Mara (which according to gabri_jade 's latest fabulous fic, may not be that far off from the true Mara.)

Anyway, just my musings.  I was seeing scenes of lightsaber training while watching the show.

Also, if you haven't read aaron_allston 's latest blog update, you totally should.  Check out the comments for a fantastic picture of him with rurouni_jedi at Dragon*Con.

Yep, I'm totally watching the Emmys.  (Like I wasn't going to anyway, but you know.)

So I suck at updating here apparently. In my defense, I have been sick the last couple of days. But anyway, I made these last night for 10walls and thought some of you might enjoy at least one of the three:


( star wars )

( glee )

( whatever galaxy you want )

Could've gotten part 2 up last night, but went ahead and finished the book this evening.  Thankfully the last few chapters went by quickly.


(  read as I resort to caps lock in an attempt to properly convey my rage )

First, Abyss update--need to read one more chapter in order to be set to put review part 2 up. Should happen tomorrow.

But in the meantime, the rest of this is a cross-post from 10walls . I made wallpapers today, and I think their pretty, so I'm showing off.  And, just FYI, the last one was made specifically to help me feel better about the way Jaina and Jag are being treated by Denning.  Yes, I'm a total fangirl.  Shut up.






This post has my entries for: a sad moment, comedy show, no negative space, and artist's choice #1 respectively.  Background #2 is from a picture I took.  Couldn't think of anything else to do for no negative space.  That's the only one that I didn't make today.  Finally starting to feel a little more comfortable making wallpapers.

The final episodes of Reading Rainbow are airing today.  So long, incredibly vital part of my childhood.
