Her Life is a WIP

Had one of those OMG So Very Lazy days today. It wasn't even supposed to be that way but because of Teh Strike - this is France for you - I had most of my plans for the day cancelled so just decided to hibernate - sorta - and stay home. Twas a brilliant idea too since babycakesin called me and if not for Teh Strike, I wouldn't have been there! Thank you Annoying Strike, you certainly had some redeeming qualities :-)

Since I - apparently - didn't have anything better to do, I played over at dont_callmebabe's LJ after she asked us what our favourite book cover for HBP was, ie which country has the best one. So I found this site which offers quite a lot of different book covers and in the end, I found two favourites for the sixth volume: as previously established, favourite #1 is still from the United Kingdom - the adult edition. Favourite #2 is from Ukraine. Actually, I like all the Ukrainian ones.

OH Stargate S7 is airing again! I've been trying not miss "Full Circle" and "Fallen" and of course... that's exactly what happened *sigh* I arrived right in time for the briefing scene in "Fallen" and admittedly it has one of ( my favourite moments. )

But! I missed the Blue Robes of True Hotness and that's just so very sad *cries* Oh and I missed nekkid!Daniel which is so very sad too, of course but, I mean - BlueRobes!Daniel *dies*

It also never fails to amuse me how in the same episode I have Blair talking to Daniel. Well, sorta. Jonas is dubbed by the same actor who dubs Blair in TS so when I close my eyes, it almost sounds like all those SG/TS xovers suddenly became reality ;-) Only I'm missing Jim's voice, of course. Well, you can't have everything, right? Anyway, I imagine that Jim is busy somewhere - then I imagine all the hot sex scenes once he's back with Blair... and then I imagine Jack and Daniel joining them and boy is it getting hot in here or what?

I never thought I'd see the day. This morning, I played around with brushes! Yes. Me. Basic ones, but still, my icons aren't unidimensional anymore, they have layers! Well, you know what I mean.

So wait, I couldn't not share because, well, it's actually one hell of an accomplishment for me, thanks. Icon makers always impress me so much and this time? I did something cool with my bases, whee! Lookit, lookit!

( Three different versions of Kato and Iwaki - Haru wo Daiteita )

Astonishing, isn't it? I think so too *rolls eyes* But still, I love those brushes. The Kato/Iwaki icons in particular are really classy - it was hell choosing one to use *g*

Anyway, on to the real subject of my post: Sci-fi Saturday - of the sg-1 persuasion.

( Stargate 9x06 - Beachhead )

Am home early cause I have an ear infection - the pain is spreading to my jaw, ie I can't open it properly, which doesn't exactly make it easy when you need to, you know, talk to people at work *rolls eyes*

Anyway.

I didn’t update my LJ on the seventh so couldn’t wish you a Happy Birthday, rhiannon_jehane, but I’m doing it now so Happy belated Birthday to you. Hope you had a great day full of slash and multi-fandom hotness *g*

I had another relaxing morning and a busy afternoon yesterday - as per usual during the weekends. I was happy cause I got to see the Grande Parade du Festival Interceltique de Lorient [Lorient Interceltic Festival] on the telly, though I was kinda jealous because The Eclectic Parental Unit, who's spending the week in Bretagne [aka Brittany], was over there so they saw it live - they had a blast, in case there was any doubt. But because mom is so very sweet, I got to participate a little when she actually called me from the parade and made me listen to the sound of bagpipes for several minutes - I'm a big fan of bagpipes since Candy and her petit prince des collines but that's neither here nor there *cough*

Something else I found sweet is when mom told me to tell "my friend who lives in the Isle of Man that a small delegation had been present and they were quite good" so yami_tai? I'm passing the message *g*

I also had time to watch SG before going to sleep, so as usual, a review.

( SG 9x04 - The Ties That Bind )

Yeah, that's it.

Also, noelql? I received the DVD! *bounces* Thankyouthankyouthankyou! And tell deannie her French was just fine *g*

PS: Argh! My uncle broke my Comfy Armchair, the one I use when I'm sitting with Clark! Why do they always have to break something of mine when they stay over, WHY! *sulks*

Finally watched "Avalon" pt2 *does the victory dance* Am now downloading "Valley of Darkness" cause I sort of forgot doing it before *cough*

Anyway, "Avalon". My love for S9? Is still going strong.

( Stargate S9 - Avalon pt2 )

Damn, this new season is going to bring me a lot of joy lol Also, I was right in deciding not to read the spoilers *is proud of self*

And you know, each time the dreaded "to be continued" appears I have to blink at the screen because I'm like "But it started only five minutes ago! How can it be over already?" Forty-two minutes? Really isn't long enough *sigh*

And look at that, the episode has been screencaptured. When I clicked on the link to Destinies Entwined, it made me smile because I realised where I was exactly. TS and SG... they go hand in hand quite often, don't they? *g*

Also, I hope there are icons? Cause I need S9 icons! And the 100 Icons thing too - I'm hoping that by repeating that over and over again, it'll happen soon.

Know what? I think I just found Charlie Eppes' former lover. I'm saying 'former' because of course he's with Don now. Back to the former lover thing, I'm not kidding. I'll even give you his name: Daniel Hood.

I've been re-reading Breaking Faith by Jo Bannister at work - I have a long lunch break and when I'm alone at reception I need to occupy my time, so it's fic writing or book reading, sometime both, though not at the same time obviously. Anyway, Jo Bannister's Brodie Farell series has to be one of my favourite series ever. Not because of the mystery - it's actually quite easy finding who did what, except for Breaking Faith maybe, which was special somehow, and incidentally broke my heart too - but because of her characters. I love them more than words can say. And my #1 character is Daniel Hood - he might even be my favourite book character, period. He blows my mind each time I read a new story in the series - and it doesn't hurt that the guy went through awful traumas *cough* I also know I rave about him every now and then on my LJ so it's not as if I just had a revelation, but I suppose it's been a long time. So there.

But I digress. How did I realise I'd stumbled upon an old flame of Charlie's? Easy, thanks to this excerpt:

( Numbers I understand. Numbers keep me safe )

I mean, seriously! Charlie/Daniel, theirloveissomathematicallyhot!

Oh and I've been re-re-watching "Avalon" last night and I remembered why exactly is it that I liked Landry so much right from that first episode: ( click at your own risk - spoilers ) I just really enjoyed that scene, is all *g*

And each time I watch the episode, I find myself rewinding the ( same scenes over and over again and worshipping some lines attached to them even more each time I do )

Is it Friday yet, is it is it is it?

Btw, when is the 100 icon thing going live? Cause I have too many icons that I need to use! Need, I tell you!

And this has nothing to do with the rest but katikat? I just ordered A Portrait of Phillip - it's been so long since I've meant to, I finally did *g*

I know I already sent a card so it might sound a tad redundant, but the Bday post is part of the LJ tradition, so Joyeux Anniversaire to a member of the French Posse, namely the lovely crazybutsound. Hope you had a great day, in spite of everything. You sure deserve it *hugs*

On a different note now and because I'm a TV junkie:

Angel:
Damn, who would have thought that going through three discs would take such a short time *longs for other seasons of Angel* I mean, I didn't realise it the first time because when I obsessively got into the series and started with my Nightly Marathons, I actually had four box sets to watch so it felt like I always had a new disc to feed my little DVD player, but with the last development in my plan on getting the whole show on DVDs, I just bought one little box set and seriously but what was I supposed to do? Watch one episode a day? What am I? Supergirl with Super Will & Discipline? AH! It's a good thing I had a lot to do today - I have yet to watch the last episode, namely Soulless, so I'm not totally done yet. But after that... it's withdrawal time! Unless I go and treat myself with a new box set sometime this week, but I'm not sure it's reasonable - right, as if it ever stopped me before.

But whatever.

Back to the Third and Last Holy Disc, my watching Awakening sorta went ( in five little steps )

Can you tell I'm still having fun with that show? *g*

Nip/Tuck:
So I watched it last night and my love for Christian grows and grows. Sometimes I seriously can't believe I'm hearing what I'm hearing or seeing what I'm seeing, but the guy is just too fucked-up for words and look so lost and I just love it - he's definitely one hell of an interesting character *g* Makes you want to strangle him and hug him at the same time lol

Numb3rs:
Does someone remember the Upload Madness Adventure? Well, I turned to SendThisFile and uploaded the pilot for the umpteenth time over there and gave it away to those who'd requested it in the first place. I still have two links left which are yours for the taking. If someone wants it, drop me a line.

Also, even though snurch_tv fell victim of teh TOS, I still managed to contact someone who had the second episode for grabs and she was kind enough to upload the episode for me, so I'll have a nice little Numb3rs fix soon *bounce* Now I just need to get my hands on the third episode *is hopeful*

Stargate SG1:
I want to solemnly thank thegrrrl2002 for linking me to this post where The Prettiness and Hotness That Is Hooded Daniel was displayed for everyone to see *g* Damn, Daniel in robes is so a kink of mine... and the hood thing? *is dead* Before you click though, bear in mind that it contains pic-spoilers for It's Good to be King.

The Sentinel:
M6 already cancelled TS *sigh* I told you they had a love-hate relationship - I was so happy to have my favourite couple back on my telly, but well, fate was against us lol

The Dead Zone:
New season started tonight - whee!

*points to header* That's like my contribution to Talk Like A Pirate Day.

I woke up this morning knowing today would be a me day and it was good.

Then I realised I'd received a parcel from stacy_l and it was better. ( You wouldn't believe what the girl did for me! )

So I started my day quite well, as you can imagine lol

After ogling at my gifts for quite some time - most of the pics made it to my fandom shrine computer desk immediately - I wish I had a digital camera to show them off - I was in the mood for some SG, so I re-watched Icon.

Boy do I love that episode! ( Not a review as such, but contains spoilers )

Finally, still on the subject of SG. I found this cool site with lovely artwork all around - Lady Littlefox has some awfully cute chibi SG characters - my favourites being Chibi Daniel and Chibi Sleepy Daniel.

Kawai, huh? *pets chibi*

Oh and on something different - I liked reading the reviews for Darklight that aired yesterday. It was as cheesy as it looked apparently - I don't think I would have been disappointed lol Sometimes, badmovies are really cool. They represent a category of their own after all, right? *g*

First, this is a GIP - those who read nicci_mac's hot and hilarious pic-fic know where I stole the caption - and the cap as a matter of fact. And those who know yami_tai know who made the icon for me *g* Thanks to both girls, this is one of my brand new favourite icons!

Speaking of icons - I finally downloaded tons of new fonts, including the one that has to be my favourite as far as icons go, and know what? I made some icons myself - don't laugh, dammit *pout* Those icons weren't created before some stupid but oh so annoying technical problems had been solved, granted lol Thanks again, Tai *g*

Nothing fancy because huh that's me we're talking about, besides to me a cute font goes a long way to make a basic icon looks nice - and yes, I say that because I have no icon skills whatsoever so basic-but-cute is my limit *g*



Nice, huh? lol

( Stargate icons - one could say J/D even *nodnod* )

Yeap basic, but know what? I sure had fun, anyway lol

Also, not to leave SG - I checked my mailbox this morning and found lerefuge's new parcel - you're a goddess, girl, really. I'm not going to stop thanking you anytime soon, believe me!

I now possess four more episodes, namely "Icon" and "Avatar", both of which I've been really impatient to see, and "Suspicion" and "Childhood's End". You can't believe how happy and proud of my little SG collection I am! lol And it's all thanks to one adorable Neige!! *kisses*

Well well, last night and this morning were Olympic time again, even more so than my cousins visited my granddad yesterday and spent the night - so we watched the Olympics all together in the evening, plus a part of the night to see the 'rerun'... what are we gonna watch when it'll be over this weekend? *pout*

ETA: I also changed my default icon, btw - did you notice? The same... but not exactly.

I'm calm, I'm relaxed. You know, it's funny because I'm pretty zen-like in RL, really relaxed and quiet - I don't even know if it comes across my LJ, I'm wondering about that all of a sudden lol-- but as soon as my computer and internet are concerned, I very quickly lose my cool. I know it's not important in the grand scheme of things, but damn, it just gets to me.

Anyway... I watched "Heroes" tonight and I wanted to talk about it - remember it was the first time for me *g* Well, I watched the second part to be exact. During the first part, there was an asylum - made of Auré, Henry, Ali and Momo - settling in the computer room and since I wanted to see what was happening to Clark, I didn't leave and only saw what was happening without hearing it so I'll have to wait tomorrow to watch my tape. But when second episode started, I couldn't resist anymore and left everyone to watch it in peace.

( Let's start with the basics )

( Sam, Daniel, Hammond, Emmett )

Now, about the main event - I have to see I disagree with a lot of the entries I saw. I saw it really differently *g*

( So, the climax )

To make a long story short - as if! - I adored this episode. It was beautiful.

And oh wow! When did I lose control of this entry? Didn't realize it was so long... well, I guess I needed to write it, right? lol

Okay, I have a new kink : Daniel in civilian clothes.

( No, seriously )

( I mean, puh-lease )

Oh and also, I love Daniel with his hair slightly mussed - so adorable *sigh*

That is all.
