Imaginary Gardens

Remember how - if you waded through my sea of Tumblr links - there were some links about how there'd been some sort of plot against Misha Collins and fandom instantly went full-on GRR ARGH MAMA BEAR? And remember how I couldn't find out what the plot had been?

Yeah. It was this. Seriously, that is just mean. Are alright, "mean" doesn't even begin to cover what this is, but I'd probably burn through my keyboard if I tried to write all applicable words down. And I'd probably have an aneurism coming up with them all. I'm just sitting here shaking my head in horror and shame and disgust and THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL, OKAY?!?

Also, I made Fanart. Well, picspams. And macros. And "MUST. EXPRESS. FEELINGS." fanart-picspam-quote-meta-man-ape-gone-wrong thing. There's Supernatural, Doctor Who, Stonehenge Apocalypse and Firefly, some of them all mixed up like a Turkey stuffing. ( Read more... )

Quote of the Day: Christpher Paolini, Brisingr (As much as it pains me to quote him and his series - and by gods, it pains me. It's on par with quoting Stephanie Myer for me.)

Perhaps no one religion contains all of the truth of the world. Perhaps every religion contains fragments of the truth,and it is our responsibility to identify those fragments and piece them together.

* Jacob Glaser, Stonehenge Apocalypse

I've recently zipped through Dharma and Greg's Season 1, because light-hearted comedy about nice people who love each other is perfect and just what one needs sometimes. Strange to think that the season is 14 years old now...

At the end of each episode, the executive producer Chuck Lore would leave a little text tid-bit for the pause-button quick. They're lovely little musings, totalling 13, and can be found below. Enjoy.

Nanowrimo: Writing so much easier now! Wrapping up things! Sort of. I mean, there's still Icarus to worry about, but that's mainly behind the scenes and a lot of "and they looked for him and didn't find him until aha!" Wow, it certainly feels like we're drawing on the final leg. \o/

You know what I hate? Accidentally high-lighting the image of the back cover for Nano and discovering that it's 100000 times more awesome with the colours inverted than in its original form. This after all that PDF binding and uploading and htmling and printing and binding.

I'm trying to save my sanity and not slip into compulsions so I'm not redoing all that stuff. However, I am posting the new back-cover (it's blue and black! this works better with the front and spine! and is legible!). I'm also printing and rebinding it tomorrow. Squee.

...and now I'm having doubts. Whatever, keeping both versions. I always pick the thing I like least anyway, because I'm self-defeating that way. Yays.

( The new back cover )

In other news, my internet is being an utter bitch and it's frustrating.

In further and even more other news, I've cleaned out my work space, turned in my hard and CD copies of my thesis, gotten my grade on the official paper and called the lady who's supposed to help me get my whole Master's certificate thing rolling. She's in tomorrow, so we'll see what kind of progress happens on that front.

If you missed the previous post and want to read about movies based on real-life serial rapists and killers in Canada (gaaaaaah!), have at it. It stars Misha Collins, which is the only reason I watched the movie (entirely in 0.0 mode).

I never thought the movie would get under my skin in any way but I've been mentally ranting about it - or rather the crimes behind it - all day. ( And watch me go on and on about it again! )

* "Ready for War", Throw the Fight

Life: Spent the whole day working on the References section. From home, because I didn't set the alarm on last night and I suck. Work was achieved, at least.

Nano: 354 words behind. The distance is decreasing, but omg, kill me now.

How to pump-up the word count: instead of saying that clothes were found for Icarus and he then got dressed, say that Chip and Saunders argue, Agatha finds clothes and then Chip proceeds to toss each item one by one. It's given me 700 words. (Don't tell anyone.)

Icarus' shade of eye-colour is somewhat like this butterfly or the Indigo Bunting only more. Or, y'know, whatever outlandish things I can describe them as.

Social life, I has it not. That's because I'm on the last week of my SBB course - thank all the gods everywhere - and we're working out butts off with the Project Management assignment (today was a 9:00-5:30 marathon) and also squeezing in some Law assignment. ( I know people! We hang out at school! ...I have no life. )

I've been getting more jabs than a pin cushion at a dressmaker's. ( All things healthaliscious and bodyliscious. )

So I'm watching Season 3 now. \o/ ( Lampreys? In my Supernatural? More likely than you think. )

( Ruminations on the tragedy of lost potential and heroes. )

( Lyrical music mesh! )

Links of the Day are waaaaaay behind but it's already the wee hours so I'm a-gonna sleep, Heroes be-damned. It can wait. (You hear me, Heroes?!? That's how disappointed and non-squeeing I am with you of late. You're on the flipping back-burner, you are.)

*** I found a video but I lost it. Trust me, though, these buggers produce buckets of mucous in mere seconds.

I was going to post some fickle statement about some random crap but just hung up with Ma** and I have Heroes waiting for me.

I was quoted 8 times on heroes_meta's 3x04 post! \o/ Whoo-ee!*** This is my squee for the day. And week. (Second only to Heroes 3x05 squee.)

** Apparently I'm not allowed to say "I'm tired" because I'm always saying this. Well excuse me if working on a case anaylsis for 5 hours straight - eating my lunch 'fore the 'puter - and then discussing it for 2 hours and then taking a 30 minute break before a grueling while of Abdominal Training followed by Ye Grocery Shopping and Ye Feeding and Hygiene ritual brings us to 11 pm leaves me tired. Apparently I'm a shitty lightweight.
*** FTFU. I need pats on the back and ain't no one just handin' them out. Life's hard work and I want a little "whoot" aimed at me once in a while.

It's Saturday. I've cleaned the house, been to the market and had the requisite kibbeling and stroopwaffel lunch, asked questions galore at the knitting store and hung out at the computer lab trying to work and, eventually, working. Until, that is, I got kicked out (they were closing).

So here I am, feeling utterly exhausted and guilty over work and eyeing the laundry like it might just decide to wash itself if I pout hard enough. (No luck so far.) So instead of anything else, I'm going to cuddle under my comforter - btw, I miss my old apartment's couch liek woah - and have lemon flavoured tea, chocolate-covered cookies, and Batman Begins (about 2 weeks behind schedule).

In other news, and before the imminent zoning-out, I was reading The Editing Room's Abridged Screenplay of TDK earlier, and ran head-first against a wall against the funny. ( Explanation goes here. )

BAT-BALE
I had to save you! You need to be in the next movie!

HEATH LEDGER
Yeah... about that...

Reading that one line and all those little elipses bloody hurts.


So, to end on a happier and more hopeful note, here's another quote:

* Common phrase.

A serious question: should I pimp these picspam-, stick- and twig-analyses out to folk via ninth_wonders? (And how does that work, anyhow?) I mean, does it not-suck? Would folk like this? 'Cause they took ages to make and maybe folk would like to see this sort of thing.

And because I am obsessed and cannot stop myself, here's an addenum on the Sylar&Spike similarity post: both have a moment of disturbing sexuality with their mother.

( I kid you not. )

I also added a few more trenchcoat!screencaps, with gentle mocking, on the previous post.

(   )Random thought of the day: How the hell did Mohinder know Sylar gave him Zane's DNA***? I mean, he had no Certainly-Zane!DNA to compare it to, or Sylar!DNA for that matter, and definately no sequencing tools, not even the lowly Southern blot. (Unless we go back to the theory that Mohinder snuck into hospitals and labs by pimping himself out to the nurses, but then, when? He was galavanting cross-state with Sylar that whole time!)

* Sir Thomas Beecham
** A heartbreaking little fanvid, described by its creator, arfalot1, as "sort of about how Sylar is both scary & heartbreaking, and about his choices of eeevilness."
*** Parasite transcript: "Zane was killed three days ago--the same day I met you. And you thought you were so clever giving me his DNA."
