You know you're committed to fandom when you're searching for footage of horses running in order to enable a project. (Uh. That is to say - does anyone know where one might find footage of horses running to put in...oh, say, a vid? Maybe from that Viggo Mortensen movie with the horses? FINE, I am told there is minimal/non-existant wild horse running in this movie. *sadface*)

*chews lip*

Also, is there anyone around who say, loves Star Trek and loves making fabulous art who might be interested in wee shenanigans? *looks around?*

People! Torchwood is back! Apparently has been for the past five weeks and I'm only finding out now! Crap. Nevermind. I haven't managed to finish watching 3x01 - I have to go meet Karen and Pedro in about half an hour, but dude! Ianto is such a girl! And Jack such a guy.

"I don't like the word couple."
"Me either."

Like hell. And Jack has a daughter! Well, I still remember him mentioning in chapter one how he got pregnant and how he wasn't doing that again. The woman called him dad. My brain does not compute.
Damn it. I have to go and take a shower.

Also, I can't believe I never got around to mention how much Michael dying hurts. I can't quite get around that, you know? He's dead. How could he be dead? He was amazing and perfect and he's dead. *sighs*

I'm contemplating my mp3 player. Specifically, I'm contemplating a significant tune update. See, I have an old Iitronics thing that holds maybe 150 mp3 tracks, slightly more when they're in wma format. So I need to periodically update it. This isn't something I dislike doing; I like being able to keep track of my digital media, and 140-150 tracks is enough that I never get bored while still being able to manage it. If I were ever going to buy an iPod, I'd buy a Shuffle.

I am going to play with < strike > now, and decide what I'm going to ditch! I'm a bit embarrassed by how much stuff is still on here from my SPN-JA days. I mean, I haven't watched SPN for months and I'm still listening to Kane, what's up with that. Except, well, I like Spirit Boy and Rattlesnake Smile! Shut up!

current track list in capslock because it was easier to type that way )

I love me some Kylie Minogue. Also, I think it needs some Ricky Martin. And Britney. OH GOD I need to put Toxic on there. Toxic is Britney's best song, y/y? *hearts*

(Goes without saying I don't understand people who are too cool for school with the music, right? Right! You can be too cool for school and a pop whore!)

Title: Deep are the thoughts of a child
Rating: PG
Pairing: McShep, established relationship
Spoilers: Series 4 and 5 in general
Summary: A little follow on to These childish things. John and Rodney are baby sitting again. Well, kind of.


It doesn't hurt Uncle Rodney. Not like when I burneded my finger,” Torren explained. “That really hurt. Even Uncle Ronon would have cried then.

Howdy.

Torchwood got an amusing write-up in the Times Review today.

Why did I never notice it was silly before? How could I not have noticed that? What did I think it was — normal? This is not normal. It’s the bloke from Tonight’s the Night saving the Earth from a souped-up basement in Cardiff ... Torchwood has a level of inbuilt ludicrousness so large that it may even be the bedrock of its existence.

Well, it amused me, anyway. :D

I really like this one icon thing. No fuss! It's great.
More comment from sibley's post about Vietnam:


Ralph Hitchens:
the Vietnam War “was lost more than two years later.” Largely because of Watergate

That’s pretty much a Dolchstoßlegende right there, dude.

I’m curious — how old are you, roughly? I was born in the 50s, so grew up during the Vietnam War. My memory is that by 1968 it was widely perceived that the war was militarily unwinnable, for precisely the reasons TF Smith gives above:
in the postwar 20th Century, a counterinsurgency war by a foreign power within a third-world nation is doomed to failure, because the locals always have more skin in the game than the outsiders.
My memory also is that by 1968 there was *already* a considerable Dolchstoßlegende developing among the pro-war civilians and at least some military leaders. They couldn’t believe that the US was losing to a bunch of gooks, and they were fervent in their belief that the only thing stopping a US victory was domestic reluctance to BOMB MOAR.

This is why I’m asking how old you are. Are your ideas about what went on in the Vietnam Era based on personal observation, or on what you’ve heard from others, or on historical research?

Gackt Spam

A decent GACKT is an integral piece of jewelry.

Now people with an average income have a chance to have a GACKT as well.

And all that due to the low prices of our designer GACKTS.

Lots of stylish GACKTS to choose from.

Just a GACKT away.



The source article is well worth reading; it makes you go 'hmm', and then 'um, quelle surprise.'


In other news, my new bag of coffee that I only used once is MISSING. Now see, I live in an apartment with two bedrooms, one bath, a kitchen area, and a living/dining room. HOW COULD COFFEE GO MISSING? And yes, I've looked in the freezer. It's the first place I looked, in fact.

Hi guys!

Sorry that I haven't been around. They put mom on some antibiotics for the stomach bug she'd had and she had a really bad reaction to them. She ended up back in the hospital for several days but she's home now and doing much better.

And, she didn't lose too much ground because I stayed right on their butts about getting her up and moving while she was there. Another good thing, they did her follow-up swallow study and she did much, much better this time around. With her increased strength, and the oral exercises she's been working so hard at, it's really improved how she's doing. So, yay!

With the hospital, and her being sick up until then, I've been swamped and wasn't able to take much me time. I'm hoping that will improve now, I miss you all! And I really miss play-time. I know my brain needs it.

We came so close this week to getting to do something really neat. )

PS
I know I missed birthday wishes and I am so sorry. If anyone posted anything would you mind giving me a nudge? I'd really love to see them. :)

PPS
I've got five Dreamwidth invite codes if anyone still needs one. Just let me know. :)

This has kept me up all night, and I know a show shouldn't keep me up, but it was driving me crazy. I kept reading reactions about episode 5, and the difference on how Jack's actions were received is amazing between the people with no children and the people with children.

The STXI Obsession Recs Master List is freshly fluffed1 and all sparkly spiffy updated. It's gotten a trifle... long. As in, it may be in excess of 200 links now? I dunno, just that I've been working on tagging things in and making up the recs post and adding to/polishing the master list and it's now 6:30 am and I started sometime around midnight and my eyes are kinda crossing so maybe I should stop now?

Right. Also, I love this icon. ♥

Originally published at Memoirs of a Nobody. You can comment here or there.

Mostly a note to myself, but maybe if I make the notes public I’ll get my ass in gear and make them:

YGO - Bad Reputaton - Kaiba Family - Still downloading the damn episodes to find enough clips of all four.
Kingdom Hearts - ?? - Roxas and Riku
DCMK - Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny - Lost the cast list, and still need to re-down clips for some.
DCMK - Won’t Back Down - Remake - Need to get the newer BO episodes so that I can remake with better clips and no subs
Gift - ??? - Sora/Palpatine - Need Palpatine clips as…not a star wars fan

Well the Main List officially exceeded LJ's post limit at the last update without me realizing it, so that now has a link directing you to the Dreamwidth list (which has identical content to what the LJ list had, just, ya know, more). Now I need to decide if I want to split it up and, if so, how, and so on and so forth. In the meantime, an embarrassment of riches below the cut tags. Namely:

12 Gen
17 Kirk/Spock
7 Kirk/McCoy - Now with it's own section!
2 OT3(s)
3 Other Ship/Slash
1 Vid
4 Resources/Meta

This is the first time I’ve done anything like post my ‘plot bunnies’ but there were some particular ones which just would not leave me alone (they were keeping me up at night when I was trying to SLEEP –glares-) and I don’t think I could do them justice. Sooo here they are, my plot bunnies.

Also, HOPEFULLY, my linking etc will have worked this time, i really am terrible at this whole posting stuff that aint comments lark :O

After avoiding all doctors for six months I finally decided I'd go get the labs done. I had been feeling overwelmed by doctors and appointments toward the end of the year. So yeah, cholesteral is good 160 total, A1c is lower than it's been since I was diagnosed with diabetes though not where I'd like it. And the urine tests were all normal normal. So yeah, taking care of myself seems to have not been a failure. So now I have to make an appointment with the new doc.

The Kaiser in Tracy was really quiet. Not sure if it was because it was Thursday morning, but it really couldn't have had more than 10 cars in the lot. I got to park under one of the trees.

I'm not sleepy, which is not good since I have a friend coming to help me with planting and moving furniture in the a.m. Need not to be half awake then.
