Has anyone else had a Twisting the Hellmouth go really, really wonky on them. Mine is loading very, very slowly. I've tried all the technical fixes from my end, and before I email jrabbit, I want to knot if it is just me. Thanks in advance for the info.
I could spend days playing at
www.hubblesite.org and not get bored. The images there are mind blowing, as well as jaw droppingly beautiful. It's abstract art by God.
As seen on TVLJ...
List all of the television shows you have on DVD, no matter how obscure or embarrassing. Even if you only own one season, list it. Let's see who has what!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - all seven seasons
Angel - all five seasons
Firefly - complete series plus Big Damn Movie
Torchwood - series one and two plus Children of Earth
Doctor Who - series one and two (so far)
Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated - complete series
West Wing - seasons 1-3 (and part of season 4 on tape)
Bones - seasons 1-3
I may have season 1 of Quantum Leap and Will and Grace in storage, or I may have donated them when I moved, I honestly can't remember as I never watched them. I also may have the complete Highlander series and season 1 of Heroes in copiedalternative form in storage, but I haven't watched more than a couple episodes.
I also had the complete series of ST:TOS and ST:TNG on VHS, but I think they've been taped over by this point, and I refuse to pay the highly inflated price Paramount charges for the DVDs. I also have access to my mom's tapes of Beauty and the Beast at this time.
This has been all over the interwebs for awhile, but I saw it on Felicia Day's Twitter, and it reminded me I wanted to share.
Yeah, that doesn't get any less cute, the more I watch it.
Also, since I can't figure out how to embed it, I will simply warn you that
this photo may possibly contain lethal doses of cute.

I apologize for any trauma that mental image causes.
So we will talk about Bones instead. In an attempt to give no more spoilers than the preview/ teaser all I will say is that the storyline required Booth to continually spout words like Hellboy, demons, the devil and horns, plus Booth now owns a black leather coat.
--Cut-- Click here for more --Cut--So I signed up as at
fandom_charity if anyone is interested in procuring my services. I'm available for your various and sundry Angel/ Buffy, Harry Potter, Torchwood and Bones needs. Or if you're a big spender, I'll knit you socks. I'm asking for donations to the Red Cross or Doctors Without Borders.
Of course I'm LNF enough so as to be considered microscopic, but who doesn't need a pair of socks.
Besides
fandom_charity there is also
help_haiti which allows people to auction their services (that sounded dirtier than I meant it too). If you're feeling the post holiday pinch and you can't give as much as you'd like, go whoreoffer yourself up for bid.
So according to Pat Robertson, the people of Haiti deserve to suffer because of their pact with the devil.Putting aside the fact that over 80% of the island is Catholic (which is not Christian enough apparently), and the fact that people communicating from the island keep reporting on groups of people gathering to sing hymns for comfort. I don't know what god this knucklefuck believes in, or what bible he reads, but it certainly isn't mine.
Mr. Robertson, you disgust me. And I'm pretty sure the Big Guy's not going to be too pleased either.
My Girl!BFF whom I've known for 24 years is in Haiti with her daughters doing mission work. If you haven't heard, there was a 7.0 earthquake in that country this afternoon. Her mother hasn't heard anything, and the State Department info line is flooded. Even without the natural disaster, her electricity, Internet and phone service is shoddy at best and this makes it worse. The silence is unnerving.
So I'm a little worried right now.
If everyone out there would say a prayer for her, her daughter and her host family it would be greatly appreciated.
ETA: Received word this morning that she and the girls are okay. Thank God.
Here is a lovely little gem that I saw both on Torchwood and World's Finest rec lists, and it is quite a fun little romp. Superman/Batman crossed with Torchwood in the best possible way. Every character spot on.
The Justice League of Cardiff is a Stupid NameI did not, under any circumstances, buy Series One of Doctor Who. Because that would be wrong. If anyone was to point out the fact it is sitting next to me, I would point at it and look flummoxed. It's not like it's that much of a stretch.
The Tweat-peat of Bones was amusing, but no great secrets were reveal. Hell not much of anything was revealed. Yes, I'm on Twitter. I find it as much the same level of lurking potential that LJ does. Before anyone gets excited and decides to follow me, I've made a grand total of two tweets since I got it a month ago. If that doesn't deter you, send me a PM or an email, since it is under my real name, not my fandom name, and never shall the twain meet here in public.
I totally missed
this last night. I fail as a fangirl. Sigh.
I did wax nostalgic during the teaser for NCIS: Los Angeles when they showed night shots of LA. I miss my show.
Merry Christmas to you and your families. Peace and joy in the New Year as well.
Half way through tonight's NCIS, my father comes in from his shop and asks me if the episode was a repeat. I told him it wasn't, and he was puzzled by the fact it seemed familiar. I reminded him that the same actor who was playing with fire as Gibbs' Dad was playing with fire as Booth's Pops a month ago. He was pretty sure that explained it.
Somewhere, a crossover writer is using this information as the basis for a fic that will make Booth and Gibbs related. I'm making bets with myself as to how long it will take.
In other news: I don't wanna go back to work tomorrow.
The nice thing about the nap I took was that it made my headache go away. The not so nice thing, I am wide awake at half past midnight.
Dave in that vest during the episode of Bones tonight. I nearly crawled through my tv to get to him. See I have this thing about guys in suits, and *burble*
I'll be in my bunk!
So the way my counter is set up at work, customers often put their wallets down so they can rummage through them. So I often catch a glimpse of pictures of smiling children or spouses while the credit cards or cash are sorted out. Today, while a woman was rummaging for coupons, I did a double take when I saw the picture in her wallet. On second glance, yep it was James Marsters. I blinked a couple times, and went on with helping her.
Sadly this wasn't the thing which stands out most about my day. That would be the $6000 mink coat which was returned from another store (we don't carry real fur at out location and the nearest one which does is several hours away). The reason for the return, she didn't like the garment bag it came in. Uhm, yeah, I got nothing either.
I'm going to be an Auntie. Darling Brother and Darling SIL is having little Bit! EeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee! *bounces*
Maybe if I start it now the blanket might be done by the time the ickle bit is one. *is notoriously late with crafty things* I need to look for yarn!
*is going to be an Auntie* SQUEEEE!
So, now that I am back in my home town, I find myself reminiscing about high school and those I used to hang out around back then. Now, I firmly stick by my claim that I kept in touch with the only people who I wanted to keep in touch with (with the exception of M), but I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't look up one of my old team mates simply to allow him to have his 'I told you so' moment.
You see, TeamMate was a HUGE Doctor Who fan, and as this was way back in the early 90s, I was in the midst of my ST:TNG obsession. So I would constantly banter with TeamMate over who had the better show, with a few of TeamMate's various friends adding their two cents (Star Wars, pre-prequel 4eva) in. This went on for the better part of the four years I knew him, and I never backed down from my position that Doctor Who was lame, and I would never, ever watch it, and also ST rulz!!!!
Fast forward *cough*15*cough* years. It has been almost a decade since I've really followed any of the Trek fandom, and I still haven't seen the last Next Gen movie. Meanwhile, I got sucked into this little show called Torchwood, which happens to be a spin off of, that's right, Doctor Who. So this evening, after seeing various fics, vids, and appearances of said Doctor on Torchwood, I started looking into getting a hold of Doctor Who on inter-library loan. It's almost worth finding TeamMate to let him have his last laugh.
Beer in the Rear Chicken It turned out very, very good with the meat falling off the bone juicy. Added extra sugar to the sauce, because it was pretty acidic, and threw in some cumin and cinnamon to balance the brightness, but the recipe is definitely a keeper. Also nice because it wasn't a recipe you had to sit and watch.
We now return to our regularly scheduled fangirl-ing.
Dear Customer-
Using 'Posh' British enunciation with a Midwestern American accent does not make you sound sophisticated. If you want to impress me, sound like you know where you're from.
Still giggling two days later-

So my nieces visited tonight, and I vowed to cure the older one of her thoughts that Edward was dreamy.
So I introduced them to Buffy. After viewing 'Welcome to the Hellmouth' ("Hey, what's Booth doing there?") and 'The Harvest' and I received the payoff.
Niecelet the eldest: "I think Buffy could kick Edward's butt." Success!
Destruction, mayhem my work here is done.
