So f-list... I'm looking for a little assistance. I'm debating entering the $1,000 costume contest held at the Superman Celebration this year. I've been browsing the DC character female list and have pretty much narrowed it down to one: Hippolyta

I'm also thinking of asking a cousin of mine to go with me as Wonder Woman because she's already got a Wonder Woman costume and she really does make a good Wonder Woman.

Here's what help I need.

I love the picture on wikipedia linked above. However, in order to make the costume (with the aid of my mom who sews among other things and possibly my aunt), I need some good close ups of her staff and such.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

satyrnfive... do you have comics with this version of Hippolyta that could be scanned or something??

ksl2025 posted a link to a very moving video and I wanted to share it too. Below is the text that she posted...

This video shows the winner of "Ukraine’s Got Talent", Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch.

The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears and she won the top prize of about £75,000.

She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated. It is replaced by a woman’s face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman’s face appears.

She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier. This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out on the monument from within a house.

In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying goodbye.

The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million.

Kseniya Simonova says: "I find it difficult enough t...

How did your day go?


Work was long and drawn out last week (I had my 40 hours in with some change on Thursday and took Friday kind of off). And after today, it's shaping up to be a repeat only worse... Maybe I can take Friday off again.

First, if you are following my NCIS 07x12 Flesh & Blood epic post of epicness, then you should know that there are now five (5) ETAs at the end of that post. They include icons, info on the certain items depicted and I just added something that an anonymous commenter pointed out that makes that final scene even more epic if that is possible. Go check it out here.


Next, I've been meaning to do this for quite a while... I've had a lot of various people friend me of late and I like to find out why you friend me. I tend to look at profiles of those who friend me that I've never chatted with to see what might have brought you my way... So below is a little poll to get some ideas of why people are here.

Also, I would like to open myself up to prompts. Anyone is welcome to leave me a prompt (fic or art). I cannot guarantee that I will write/create your prompt or even how long a story might be and such. But you are always welcome to prompt me and you never know, your prompt might create something awesome.

Now on to the poll...

ETA: D'oh! I forgot Supernatural on the list!!! So if there was a reason I didn't list (because I meant to put a write in box too), then comment and let me know!!

View Poll: Why Did You Friend Me?

First, I signed up at help_haiti by auctioning off a fic of at least 1,000 words for NCIS. Go bid!

Click for My Thread to Bid and Help Haiti!!


Second, I've add icons and info about the knives that Gibbs and Tony had. Go check it out, but be aware of spoilers for 07x12 Flesh and Blood.

Third, my roommate is jealous. He invited some guys he works with at the Mexican restaurant over for drinks. One of those guys is hot and short and very nice... He took a liking to me in a big way. I even got a hug/kiss on his way out the door. And apparently, I'm going to the restaurant tomorrow evening for a drink. I think it is mandatory. :-)

Did I mention he is hot??? And muscled. And short... but short is good for me. And he's from Honduras and speaks Spanish and his English is fairly decent but he is still learning.

Yeah, the roommate is jealous.

You know I rarely do these, but last night's episode warranted it. This episode made me fall in love with NCIS all over again. Really and truly.

So I decided to do a full recap with pictures and thoughts. Hopefully you will enjoy!

Also, others have some great reviews as well:

xanthelj: NCIS: "Flesh and Blood" goes into the emotional aspect with Tony among other things. A great read!

And I hear tell that spoonyriffic will be working on an epic picspam review that will be... well... epic. So I'll link when she has it up.

Now, time for the show... Just note that there are 74 (yes, 74) screen caps under these cuts.

Just saying... I'm still squeeing over the episode. Once I rewatch it, I plan to do a full recap post on it. It deserves it.

For now... Squee!!

But meanwhile, I needed to update a certain icon in light of new information...

Okay... I signed up. Now who else will go join me over there because I need some cheerleader... Come on, you know you want to. If nothing else, you can cheer me along and make sure I write something for each round I'm part of.

Does anyone know what happened to www.ncis-bluelight.com?

I went there for NCIS images for artwork and it seems to have vanished... :-(

Barring that, does anyone know of any other good resources for NCIS publicity shots and episode stills?

2007 was the year I discovered my love for NCIS. You'll notice a four month hiatus during the summer... This is when I binge watched both seasons of Dark Angel and then went looking for more Michael Weatherly. The rest is history. After I binge watched all the NCIS episodes to the current season at the time, I started reading fics. After I soaked up the fandom, I began to write. And I'm still going strong. Thanks to everyone who reads and reviews!

I would also like to thank those who've beta-ed for me in 2007 because without them, you wouldn't want to read most of what I write. So thanks, azraelz_angel, avamclean and satyrnfive! (I didn't miss anyone did I?)

After doing this for 2009, I decided it would be great to go back in time and do previous years to match. That way I can easily scroll through my fic on LJ and get to it.

Okay. I've never done this before, but I thought I would give it go. And wow... my muse was very active in 2009. I would also like to thank everyone who reviews my stories and those that read and enjoy. It's Feedback that keeps a person writing and I have gotten awesome feedback since I started posting on Livejournal. 2009 even saw me venture into posting my own original fiction. I was nervous, but I received positive reviews on that. So thank you very much.
