Good Morning Everyone :) a big thank you to [info]chiffonwings for the card and [info]elanordh for the holiday gift - thanks so much!

I ran a solid 2 miles this morning, I'm feeling a little sore...hope everyone's holiday was safe and quiet. After my one-day work week last week, I have to go a whooping 4 times this week...craziness! The Giants are playing the Panthers in an hour...if they lose this game, they're done...if they win, they'll still need help to go to the playoffs...I'm going to start stressing later :)

I saw Up yesterday...dude...that was sad...I cried through a lot of it...

Time for an icon set again - been a while, or at least it feels that way. ;) It was fun making all those icons for you, and it's a strange feeling to be done with that. *g* (Plus, I'm proud that I'm all finished - go me. lol) Today will be quiet, [info]takayajd should arrive here any minute to help with the leftover food and maybe some testing of new, shiny DVDs. :D

[info]busem! Have a great day, hon! *hugs*


And looks like I forgot a request, so here's one more icon, for [info]faege. ;)


So, that's it for christmas - next up, new year's eve. I have no plans (yet), but will have to work anyway. Knowing myself I'll probably be tired enough to be completely content with crawling into bed early. We'll see. *g*
Decorated my wall with your christmas cards again:


And as it's SPN weekend - another picspam. ;)

[info]ripper_girl and [info]zeraparker! Hope you had a great day, dolls! :D *hugs*


[info]serenitysangel, thank you for the virtual gift! :D
Also, the last four icons for you - final count is 125. Not too shabby, eh? ;)
[info]zed_pm, [info]anaithis, [info]egotists and [info]xeyra. :D


Today was even better than yesterday, no drama and just food and talking. ;D Pityu, however, remains unimpressed with christmas.
And I am pretty tired, therefor looking forward to a relatively calm day tomorrow. For my extended family I already am the one who never shows up (even if I show up - I wasn't there), so I can just stop trying altogether. :P

Lastly, some pics - Sam Worthington, Viggo Mortensen, Robert Downey Jr, Neil Patrick Harris/How I Met Your Mother, Morena Baccarin, Sandra Bullock, Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley.

Merry Christmas to all of you celebrating tomorrow!

It seems that our plans to go to Midnight Mass tonight have been foiled by the weather. And my plans to give [info]veriond a Christmas present on Christmas day have been foiled by the postal service. :( She'll just have to get it late, I suppose.

Tomorrow I shall have my Star Trek DVD, so expect some crazy spam posts soon. Also pictures. I cannot promise that [info]veriond and I won't dress in our Trek shirts and take pictures with the DVD.

In other news, [info]veriond has introduced me to a pretty excellent show called Seirei no Moribito (which you can watch at the link). Here is her post on the subject, but personally I am most excited by the prospect of my OTP formulation actually existing in the world. Namely, badass and emotionally repressed lady + empathic and emotionally giving dude = OTP. Also, it is a nice contained universe (only 26 episodes and the story is wrapped up), and it's one of those stories where everything is a shade of grey, which is always a thing I like!

Ho freakin' ho

[info]netty2412 and [info]gealach_ros! Hope you had a great day! *hugs* :D


Today was nice, with the occasional slip into family drama, but that's to be expected. ;) Spent a good deal of my afternoon with piecing together my nephew's new Lego stuff. Was surprisingly fun. *g* Some things arrived too - [info]domelom, thanks so much, luv! [info]elanordh, loved the little elf, thank you sweetie! And thanks to [info]poetic_self and [info]utkari02 for the cards, [info]hai_di for the virtual gift! ♥ [info]pokecharm, now that I could unwrap it - thank you for the book! Something to accompany the movie experience. *g*

Some more icons - for [info]wingedseraph7, [info]wive, [info]xtine005 and [info]zeraparker. Last batch tomorrow, I think. ;D


And a Doctor Who cast picspam, with emphasis on David and Freema, but the others as well. ;D

Hello my friends! :)
Very long time no see, mostly due to chaos that has been my life since the last days of Summer. I can't tell you more right now, but I will tell you when I accomplish my goal. ;)

I want to thank [info]pokecharm and [info]atanone for lovely and sweet gifts! Thank you so very much! You made my day. :D :D *hugs* Poke, that was sooooo yummy! And I hope my little something reached (or will reach you soon) too. :D :D
Thank you [info]mlledefer and [info]ladyithildiel for lovely cards. (Ithil, thank you for this lovely little gift) :D
[info]mata090680 thank you for cute icon! :D I love it. :)

And most of all Merry Christmas to all of you! *squishes*
[info]atanone sends her wishes too. Her PC is still broken, and she can't repair it now.

Well friends, I made it home safely on Monday. Thanks for all the well wishes. :) I'll attempt to get caught up on my f-list, but my access to the interwebz is limited here, so it may take a while!

In other, much more interesting news, I saw The Princess and the Frog yesterday! And it was pretty good!

Here are some thoughts under this cut! )

Happy Holidays!

Somehow I don't feel like christmas is right around the corner - it's not like I'm not in a christmassy mood (I so am - got two more cards today, thanks so much [info]domelom and [info]kelsrealm! ♥), just that I feel like I need more time to prepare. *g*
On the other hand, I'm almost done with those icons. *g*
Some for [info]takayajd, [info]tabithas_cat, [info]supacatie, [info]sunrise_sets, [info]sweetnessarose, [info]sweetelfe, [info]the_milky_way, [info]thebellelumiere and [info]taylor_elle. :D

The Kansas City airport has free wi-fi! (P.S. I'm in KC now? LOL.) This isn't that big a deal today, since I'll be leaving for Joplin, MO soon, but on my return flight I'll be lurking in the KC airport for a whopping SEVEN HOURS between flights, so!

In any case, I've had a mad time in airports today: got all the way through the security line at Chicago only to be told I had to go back and check my bag if I wanted to get one of my Christmas gifts home. So...it was good that I arrived three hours early! Ugh. Thankfully, though, the weather is cooperating. My sympathies to folks in the northeast; I hope you all are keeping warm and staying safe!

We're supposed to get a really nasty storm at home in Kansas on Wednesday, so it's a very good thing I came home when I did!

Oy, Monday.

  • Dec. 21st, 2009 at 9:23 PM
Lots of cards arrived today! *g* Thanks so much [info]lessy37, [info]elrawien, [info]sibelle_art, [info]kyizi and [info]ms_erupt! *glees*
Work was a tad crazy, but that was to be expected - dear customer, I'm not out to get you, I'm just doing my job.
Anyway, some more icons - for [info]skydawnjade, [info]stillgerard and [info]stinaschnegge. :D


Been making other stuff as well. ;) bannerses and stuff )

And a few random pics plus Daniel Craig/Bond scans by Lorna. :D Rachel Weisz, Kristen Bell, Ian McKellen, Daniel Craig, Shia Labeouf, Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger and James McAvoy. :D

Good Afternoon Everyone :) well, we have the day off today - we were really buried under snow...I spent a solid four hours shoveling yesterday, I ache all over...but, good news - I have tickets to see the Giants tonight! it's going to be crazy cold tonight, but that's okay - I have to see my team play!

a big thank you to [info]sibelle_art for the holiday card :)

I know I fell off the wagon re: the last spotlight, but here's the last one I can think of: the quote is from 'V from Vendetta.'

update on the run

  • Dec. 20th, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Hey folks. I'm headed home to Kansas tomorrow. (Yay!) I'm hoping for free Christmas internet at the airport, but if not I may be in radio silence for a while. In any case I'm planning to finally do some writing in the airport, so...fic for Christmas? Maybe? I make no promises.

Also, while I'm at it, here is a pretty excellent article about a movie I am not planning to see! BUT! Once I get home, [info]veriond and I are going to see The Princess and the Frog. Since my entire f-list is exploding about this movie, I need to catch up!

Supernatural

  • Dec. 20th, 2009 at 4:20 PM
Happy Sunday! Nothing much to tell here - I'm, for the first time in what feels like weeks, not tired all day. Yay! *g*
So, icons for [info]starbreeze, [info]stardust78 and [info]stephanie_gb. :D


And those mentioned Supernatural icons. ;)

Enjoy. It's dreadful, but quite short.

Did I mention that it's really, really cold? At least I could put my shiny new woolen hat to good use when Pityu decided that he very, very much needs to get out right after I had washed my hair. *g*
Look, more icons. I attemped SPN ones, but I'm so easily distracted these days. *g*
For [info]rua1412, [info]siberian_angel, [info]serenitysangel, [info]rayvin813, [info]ripper_girl, [info]roxy42, [info]shirasade, [info]sibelle_art and [info]spirited_lizard. :D

So the Star Trek shirt I ordered from a cereal box way back in June finally arrived this week! They had to re-order it, 'cause they ran out of science blue. (Of course.) [info]veriond got a command gold one, so the forecast is likely that we'll take pics together over the break!

This, naturally, has caused me to think about what position I would hold on a Starfleet ship, and I have reached the logical conclusion that, in the world of the future, I would be the Catholic chaplain. Why is this logical, you ask? Well! For one thing, it only makes sense that Starfleet would have several chaplains of different religious traditions for a mission that lasts as long as five years. This is pretty standard military practice now, and I don't think that's going to disappear. Also, there will absolutely be women priests in the world of the future.

Now, why in the world the Catholic chaplain would be running around in a blue shirt, I'm sure I don't know, except that blue seems to be kind of the catch-all color. Red is either ops or security, and gold is command, but blue covers everything from science to medical to history and anthropology. So...theology wouldn't be too much of a stretch?

ANYWAY. Here is a meme from [info]yenneffer.

In 2009, fialleril resolves to...
Find a better toph.
Go to beowulf every Sunday.
Eat more jesus.
Cut down on my worldbuilding.
Give up cooking.
Volunteer to spend time with biblical studies.
Get your own New Year's Resolutions:


Eat more Jesus. Pfft. I guess it's a good thing I'm becoming Catholic!

Good Morning Everyone :) I don't have anything terribly exciting to report, but I'm here :) I know I don't post much, I really don't have much to say. Or I do, but I'm saying it to real people...that sounded wrong - but physical people :p my uncle got me tickets to the Giants/Redskins game this Monday, so I'm taking Monday and Tuesday off from work. There's been a good deal of work drama here, but I feel like most of you don't really get a lot out of those posts, so I'll skip it ;) I have a ton of HP icons, so here we go :)
