Check out those nails! I wonder if he's turning inside the car or if maybe he starts getting more control of his wolfy-ness and can just whip them out whenever (since it's daylight and all). Any ideas?

Yahoo! UK's released the second official promo from DH, featuring Harry with wand in hand walking through Grimmauld Place.


I'll have a new post when the hi-res is up.

From this article.

Regarding a proposed amendment to the health care bill covering costs for women for preventive screenings:
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican of Texas, criticized the proposal, saying it would “allow yet another government agency to interfere in the relationship between a woman and her doctor.”

No. Wrong. False. Government interferes in a relationship between a woman and her doctor when it DOESN'T COVER HER NECESSARY MEDICAL TREATMENT like birth control and, yes, sometimes abortion. When it covers preventive screenings without requiring them, how is that possibly interfering?

Ch-Ch-Changes, Skate and more

  • Dec. 2nd, 2009 at 12:22 AM
Guys I am really overwhelmed by the lovely responses on my last Skate post. It was actually quite simple and it didn't convey all the Skate layers. If I knew my list would explode with love I would elaborate more. Maybe I should make this some sort of habit since we still have two months ahead of us because I do have a giant picspam from S1-S3 on my folder. I wish I could update with S4 and S5 pics BUT unfortunately my program (Fireworks) is expired or something and I don't know a thing about photoshop.

Just a tiny rant. I wish I had 100 icons on my livejournal account, but they only accept credit card and the other option is probably too much work. I shouldn't bite the hand that feeds, but this is kinda sucky livejournal.

Anyway, I gotta say that the lovely [info]taperjeangirl is an angel and she actually put my new Skate layout. Like, everything... I didn't even move a finger. And I LOVED LOVED LOVED it. So pretty... and yellow-ish, and Skate-ish. Click to see the prettiness.

I have to say that I treasured my last layout. But I spend almost four years with it. At some point I had to change, right? Next step will be organizing my tags, put a mood theme and then my user page.

rediscovering YA books & an icon meme!

  • Dec. 1st, 2009 at 8:01 PM
after watching episodes of dr. who with juliet_aava last night, i was suddenly reminded of two YA series i read when i was 13 or 14. at first i remembered incorrectly and thought the two were part of the same series, but then i remembered that one involved subliminal messages being transmitted through television sets in order to control the general population. the other involved a teenage boy who was being hounded by an international gang of skinheads, computer hackers and had tons of action. i was getting really frustrated when i couldn't find the 2nd series i mentioned, but GOOGLE IS A GENIUS! \0/

after an hour's worth of research, i discovered that the books were:

1) the demon headmaster series by gillian cross
2) code of deception and code of the roadies by ted ottley => don't read the product summary since the reviewer gives away EVERYTHING in his spoilers

i've already reserved the ottley books at the bibliothèque so i can re-read them and discover how much my tastes have [or haven't!] changed in the last decade ;)

funnily enough, when i first googled keywords associated with the ottley series [like "YA novel series, teenage boy, german villain, mind control"], the first result was "incest in popular fiction" ROFLROFLROFL. even when i'm not actively looking for incest, the universe wants me to read it *grins*

i then spent the next hour googling various YA novels i remembered reading between the ages of 12-14, even though it was 4:30am by that point *facepalm*

and now, it is time for an icon meme!

from [info]dugindeep:
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

1) i'm a big watchmen fan, and the comedian's one of the most interesting and repulsive characters in the graphic novel. i love this icon b/c although the scene it's from is truly horrid, the caption and the expressions on the actors' faces make me lol without fail. plus it has JDM, which makes it a very suitable icon for any posts that involve SIR.

2) haha this is one of the first icons i got after joining the spn fandom b/c the boys keep arguing so much on the show and in fics, and the speech bubbles capture that perfectly.

3) OMG. jared looks so freaking BEAUTIFUL in this icon that i end up staring it for a few seconds every single time i use it! it's from "in my time of dying" if i remember correctly, and both the episode and this icon make me feel all mushy. i just want to hug sam with his floppy hair and intent eyes and rub away the tension in his mouth [or get his bro to do it for him].

4) roflroflrofl OK SOMEONE TELL ME WHICH EP THIS ICON IS FROM B/C I DUNNO. it's HILARIOUS though, and i have a macro that goes along with it. pervy!sam is pervy. and hawt. slirrrrrrrp! *wants to crawl into sam's lap*

5) ah, one of my many american psycho icons! love the book, the movie, christian bale, and how lolarious the caption is - especially since he does that awesome dance soon after this scene \0/
next up, the DEBAUCHERY MEME [info]duck_or_rabbit tagged me in!

4th January...

  • Dec. 1st, 2009 at 11:36 PM


The BAFTA event - I'm not sure if any of you guys were planning on going (If not - you should it's gonna be great!) Anyway just don't book your trains or babysitters etc yet! The tickets themselves are only £7.50 but I know travel and stuff can be expensive and Sinead (aka Nina) has said today that actually the cast have been booked for the 7th...just to let you know there might have been a mistake with the date.

So how many of you guys are planning on gong? Theres only about 250 tickets and as its in London I think they might sell out pretty quickly so get in there :-)

MASSIVE FRIENDS CUT

  • Dec. 1st, 2009 at 3:29 PM
i just went through a massive flist cut. this applies to you if you can no longer see this post.

it's nothing personal; i was just having an incredibly difficult time wading through my cluttered flist. i mean, i had ljs from the harry potter, supernatural, good omens, fringe, flashforward, heroes, twilight, vampire diaries AND watchmen fandoms on my flist; not to mention a few bollywood, pop culture and personal journals. it got to the point where i'd easily have ~600 new posts to go through on a daily basis, and that's just WAY TOO MUCH. so i went ahead and defriended folks who never bother commenting to my own posts, ljs that haven't been updated in a while, and comms that no longer interest me.

since i've just removed ~400 ljs from my flist, i definitely might have clicked on a few names in error. IF YOU THINK YOU'VE BEEN DEFRIENDED BY MISTAKE, PLEASE COMMENT TO THIS POST! this especially applies to the new folks i've met through spn friending memes and anyone who's on my twitter. comments are screened ♥

Epic still spells... Kate and Sawyer

  • Dec. 1st, 2009 at 1:53 PM
So, yesterday I spent my day trying to make a music video (I failed, but it's okay) and while I didn't manage to achieve what I wanted, I remind myself how utterly pretty Sawyer and Kate are. I still think they have potential to be the best ship that graced the small screen (Even beating Mulder and Scully... I know it's crazy, but it's true). It will depend on what Season 6 will achieve, specially with the suckiness of S5 (And in a lesser extent on Season 4). Why do I feel this, you ask? Among many reasons: The whole lost souls seeking for redemption demeanor, the writing/development, the equality they share, the heartbreaking characterization of their lives and even destiny playing a part (Ugh. I hate to use this argument because it's so Jate-ish, but their pasts were so connected that you just can't avoid to think that).

They have the hottest first kiss on the TV story.





They have the most romantic sex scene on the TV story (Cage!sex... On cages... The whole metaphor. Hell, an entire episode dedicated to them. Even a music theme).







They were willing to DIE for each other.







They even broke the mold for each other.







They have several separations. Some even 'tragic'. (Bonus points because Kate kept a promise she made because he asked for three years. The cannon writing supporting she find some peace with Aaron because of what she felt for Sawyer).







The island freaking bend the time and space rules so Sawyer could see Kate again. For what he thought it was the last time (And Josh's expression it's so heartbreaking and... honest. Freaking pure love). Never mind there are parallels with Little Prince (Kate as his rose) and when the island takes away that moment from his is just the saddest thing ever.



They have a beautiful reunion scene (I will ignore the bleak and angst free first dialog on the following episode).



I remembered why I love them in the first place. Season 5 was bleak, kinda of cold, so unlike them (The whole 'maturity' sucked their fun and life) and although Season 6 promise an angst start due one of the most contrived plot ever, they still have it. The chemistry that basically only 0.000001% of ships share (I found them chemistry-less this season at points, but I noticed the closer Sawyer got to be Sawyer the spark they had... so it was off mostly due the writing). The story you kind of wish your favorite couple have it. The story the opposite sides deny, but envy so much it's funny.

And their love story started on a tropical island.

Basically: Beat that.

'ello friends! i spent the day shopping for xmas presents with juliet_aava although both our bank balances are in dire straits, lol. besides gifts for friends [which i am not at liberty to discuss], I PICKED UP SOME AWESOME THINGS FOR MESELF and ALSO REACHED AN IMPORTANT DECISION!

SHOPPING, SHOPPING, CHA CHINGGGG! )

I'M CONSIDERING CHOPPING ALL MY HAIR OFF, YO )

anyway, i have 3 more things to share before i move on to recs & linkspam:

thing, the FIRST:
here is a passport photo taken a year ago. i randomly decided to scan it a few days ago and then figured i might as well post it online.



MUG SHOT )

thing, the SECOND:
[info]leemarchais was an absolute darling and decided to send me a postcard just b/c she could. I LOVE YOU BB! ♥ ♥ ♥



postcards from north carolina )

thing, the THIRD:

FOOD RECS

"Discover Excellence Chili - a unique and sophisticated taste experience from Lindt’s Maîtres Chocolatiers. This harmonious combination of Lindt’s finest aromatic dark chocolate with the well balanced spice of premium red chili will leave you lingering for more. Contains 47% cacao."

MISC

1) my latest edition of [info]quibbler_report can be found here.

2) harry potter stars attend t4's stars of 2009 event: look how cute tom felton, bonnie wright and matt lewis look - especially tom and bonnie! [the draco/ginny shipper in me just sighed happily, hee]. but i've complained about this copious times before and i'll say it again - why do the directors never let bonnie look like her pretty self in the flicks? i mean, just look at her here! why do they keep insisting on making her look like a plain jane? HELLO, SHE'S THE GRYFFINDOR DARLING AND HARRY POTTER'S FUTURE WIFE. stop making her look like a fucking 12 year old.


3) INSTANT CHEWBACCA: this site amused me greatly since i always try to make the chewie sound and fail completely. much thanks to [info]benitle for immediately giving me this link after i made that admission while re-watching the original star wars trilogy ♥

4) swiss voters back ban on minarets: WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT IS THIS? FUCK. I JUST WANT TO VOMIT IN ANGER *PRESSES INSTANT CHEWBACCA BUTTON REPEATEDLY*

5) patrick stewart: the legacy of domestic violence: in which stewart, an actor i admire very much, describes growing up in a household where he saw his father hit his mother, and much more.

6) the '00s: how "idioteque" explains a decade: interesting article on how tracks from radiohead's kid a album explain the events of 9/11 and the decade as a whole \m/

7) the 00's: goodbye at last to a decade of hell: this one's from time magazine and is another interesting read. i find myself agreeing with a lot that's mentioned. thanks to [info]birdseyeview for the link.

8) the real merlin & arthur long preview: i'm pretty sure everyone's seen this already, but i wanted to post it anyway. thanks so much to [info]cherrybina for linking me to this! omg bradley and colin are too cute. taking train rides and looking scruffy with their windblown hair and saying things like "we did strange things in the dark" during the intro lololol <3 i've already dl'd the documentary and plan on watching it within the next few days. I ALSO NEED TO DL ALL EPS OF MERLIN AND WATCH 'EM SOON.

the real merlin & arthur )
