LJ's new updates are a F^&king pain the the a$$!  /rant

My stocking is up over at fandom_stocking.  You can find it here.

If any of you on my flist have a stocking, you can leave a link to it in a comment here. :)

So, I'm going to try for something resembling a real post! *gasp* I'm shocked too. Honestly though, I haven't been spending much time online lately.

My Kindle is broken. *sigh* Which is why I'm back online again. The screen is frozen and it won't turn on. I've tried the 'Troubleshooting' Tips but they didn't work.

I'm still completely drowning in Harry Potter. I've finished reading all the books. And I just finished re-watching all the movies. Again.

I'm not watching much TV this year either. Mostly just Castle, Bones and Leverage. I hope to get Covert Affairs when it comes out on DVD because I completely forgot about it after watching the first episode. I can't wait for Project Runway: All-Stars to start in Feb/Mar. I truly hope Austin Scarlet wins!

I am totally bouncing in my seat waiting for 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows' to open!!

I am, obviously, still making graphics for landofart but that's about it other than the Holiday Icon post I did last night.

I just signed up for fandom_stocking, I'll post a link to my stocking once it gets posted. I'll probably be handing out Graphics IOU's again this year as well as a few fandom related greetings. I do try to do a bit more personalized graphics for anyone on my flist that has a stocking though. If you've never heard of fandom_stocking I urge you to take a look. It's open to all fandoms and even general non-fandom stuff. It works a bit like yuletide but without as many rules and you can put anything in the stockings: fic, graphics, recs, general well wishes, etc.

For anyone on my flist that's not doing fandom_stocking but would like a graphic of some kind from me:
I am always taking requests here My requests page is open to any fandom, even if I don't know it. (I've done quite a few Primeval Icons) Although, if it's something I'm not familiar with you will need to be very specific about what you want.

Round 2 - Challenge #8: Casting Call @ landofart


- Recast or create a 'Dream Cast' for a Movie/Book/TV Show



( Recast - One For the Money - Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evanovich )

( Dream Cast - In Death Series by J.D. Robb )

I seem to have fallen head first into my Harry Potter obsession and still haven't quite come up for air. I've also been drowning in landofart. The amount of challenges in that comm is seriously INSANE! So an update on what I've been up to...


- I've finished Babylon 5. Loved it! It took a season and a half for me to really get into it, but after that I couldn't get enough! Favorite characters: Michael Garibaldi, G'Kar, Vir, Delenn, Lennier, Londo. And Marcus, Stephen Franklin, Jeffrey Sinclair, John Sheridan. Oh, and Galen. Yep. I did watch the movies and Crusade as well. :D I absolutely love Galen. Honestly, if I had known Peter Woodward was in Crusade I would have watched it years ago!


- I am currently reading the Harry Potter books. Just stared The Goblet of Fire. Gotta say, I'm loving the books. I don't know that I like them more than the movies, the movies and books are different enough that I think I love them both equally. :)

- I've started watching Merlin! :D I'm done with season 1 and am, impatiently, waiting for season 2 to get to me from the libray. I get the entire season at once from the library instead of disc by disc from Netflix.


- On August 11th I went to the CSTS Sreening of Serenity, Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog and The Guild Season 1. Very cool! I'm so going to try and go next year. And maybe have some money to buy  t-shirts and stuff!


- After seeing S1 of The Guild, I decided to watch the rest. So I have seasons 2, 3 & 4 at the top of my Netflix queue.


- I've started using my Twitter and last.fm accounts again!


-On Monday (August 29) I'll be going to the MN State Fair. *sigh* I go every year. I always think it will be fun and I'm usually misrable all day. I don't expect this year to be any different. I just hope it's not raining or boiling hot.

So, I've started watching Babylon 5. It was originally much further down on my list of stuff to watch, but Costco had all the seasons on sale a couple weeks ago, so we bought it.

We just finished episode 9 of Season 1, so I'm not very far into it yet. I'm still trying to figure it out a bit. I don't dislike it, but I'm not sure how much I like it yet. Unless one or more of the characters really start to jump out at me I don't think I'll become fannish about the show. Of course I could be completely wrong about that, it certainly wouldn't be the first time. Most of my major fandoms started out as shows I only had mild feelings for. ;)

hl_kink   is accepting prompts here , all pairings and kinks are welcome. Unsurprisingly most of the prompts are Duncan/Methos, but a few of us have requested other pairings. ;D I'm not sure why I commented anonymously, I mean it shouldn't be too hard for anyone to figure out which prompts were mine. And the Master List of prompt fills is here.

There's a couple interesting discussions going on in kirkspock. Neither one has anything to do with Kirk/Spock, they're more a general fanfic query. What's the most important quality for a fanfic to have? and ESL (English as Second Language) in fanfiction. Surprisingly neither topic has has created drama, rudness or flaming.

I have 8 days to get my Sarah Jane Smith icons done for doctorwho20in20  and I haven't even started them yet. Plus I have to get some icons done for my year_of_chars  claim.  I'm just so unmotivated right now.

I do have a new band to obsess over. XD I've been watching The Voice on NBC. I've managed to fall hard for Adam Levine. Hahaha. I've never listened to Maroon 5 before, but he's hot and I love his voice, so I've been watching Maroon 5 vids on youtube. LOL I'm hopeless.

Oh, OH! I saw Thor last night, in IMAX 3D. It was much better than I anticipated. A good lead up to The Avengers.

Speaking of movies, after seeing Fast Five, I realized the only Vin Diesel movies I owned were Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick. I've fixed that little oversight. I got the first  Fast & Furious movie at Target (I picked up 2 Fast and 2 Furious and Tokyo Drift as well) and I've ordered xXx and Strays. Now I need to get the 4th Fast and Furious movie. Target was out of it when I went before. I have to poke through my DVDs and see if I have The Pacifier, if not I need to get that one too.
