I will be watching the half-time show. I mean seriously. The Who. Of course I'm watching.

Other than that I could really care less. Except to hope that the Saints get their asses handed to them. Nope, not a bitter Minnesotan or anything.

And I don't even like football

Comment and I'll pick three of your fandoms and post the answers to your journal and so on and so forth.

angelskuuipo  gave me Highlander, Stargate: SG-1 and Doctor Who

I haven't done one of these in forever


List five characters you'd want on your side in any kind of trouble. Bonus points for assembling an "Action Team" with complementary skills.

1) Sam Carter - Stargate SG-1
   - Normally I'd choose Rodney or Radek, but Sam is better in a fight

2) Tony Stark - Iron Man (Movieverse)

3) Rommie - Andromeda

4) Sherlock Holmes - ('09 Movieverse)

5) Kerr Avon - Blakes 7


Hmm, it looks like I get my 'bonus points'. All of them are geniuses who can kick serious ass.

Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper on their LiveJournal:
• Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper.
• Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on.




Click picture to see full size

1) It's the newest wallpaper that I've made and I always use my own wallpapers right after I make them.

2) I've fallen totally in love with the EPIC friendship these two have.

3) It has Rubber Ducky Jr (Robert Downey Jr) on it!

4) I think it's one of the best wallpapers I've made, somewhere in the top 3-4 anyway. :)

5) I get a huge stupid grin on my face every time I look at it.

I'm going a bit stir crazy with wanting to see Holmes again, so I'm looking for all the .gifs and vids I can find. There's a fabulous vid over at holmeswatson09  . The timing is just spectacular.

Vid is here

and if you're willing to join robertdowney_jr  there is an awesome post full of Sherlock Holmes .gifs here

I also made icons. 12 Robert/Jude or Robert & Jude Icons

A long overdue update...

On Christmas Eve we got cable internet. YAY!!!! I can actually download things now. XD I have also been spending way too much time on YouTube. Being able to watch videos is very cool. They actually load faster than it takes to watch them, which is a huge step up from it taking 45 minutes to load a 3 minute video.

I'm going to be going to see Sherlock Holmes for the third time tonight. I have a seriously massive crush on RDJ right now. I've even made icons and wallpapers. :)

I got COREL Paint Shop Pro for christmas. I can't install it on my desktop because I don't have a DVD-ROM drive. I was able to put it on the laptop though. It looks just this side of impossible. The instruction manual is huge. I may just not use it until I can get it onto the desktop, which hopefully will be sometime this spring.

I also got a second copy of Queeen of Swords because my first copy is unplayable. The second copy is just as useless. I may have to give up on ever seeing it.

I made a header for my journal and changed the layout to match. Unfortunately I only know how to add a header to the Mixit and 3 Column (or is it Smooth Sailing?) layouts, so it's not as good as I'd like it. I'd really like a grey layout that didn't have the little spiders. I know there's supposed to be a way to add a header to the Expressive layout, but I've never been able to figure it out. I suppose the spiders will grow on me and if not I'll just remake the header with a different color. :)

In memory of family and friends who have lost the battle with cancer; and in support of the ones who continue to conquer it! Post this on your LJ if you know someone who has or had cancer. 93% won't copy and paste this. Will you?

The forbiddenawards  needs nominations. They are accepting nominations in the following fandoms: Buffy & Angel, Supernatural, Harry Potter and Doctor Who & Torchwood.

You can go here to see what has already been nominated and what categories need more nominations.

I read 47 books:

( Books )


Saw 68 movies in the theater:

I made 1358 Icons, all of which are in my scrapbook here. I also made 20 wallpapers and 18 banners.

20 Stargate SG-1 Icons from episodes 6.01 & 6.02 for round 2 of gate_eps20in20 

32 (previously unposted) Miscellaneous Icons made during 2009 for various icontests (Zooey Deshanel, Neal McDonough, fandoms: Stargate, Highlander, Doctor Who)

After seeing Sherlock Holmes I needed to watch more of Robert Downey Jr.'s movies. So, I re-watched Iron Man (again) and watched Tuff Turf and Weird Science (both for the first time).  Since I'm on an RDJ kick, here's a pic spam...

( See the pretties )

Squee!!!

And the Iron Man 2 trailer at the front. XD I love RDJ!

All things considered we had a pretty good Christmas. I spend all day Christmas Eve baking (about 13 hours) and made a Pumpkin Roll and 5 kinds of cookies.

- Christmas Lace Cookies
- Gingersnaps
- Snickerdoodles
- Melt-Away Butter Fingers
- Hot Chocolate Cookies

( Picture of Cookies )


If anyone wants the rest of the cookie recipes I'll post them. :)

I finished my part of the cooking yesterday morning by making potato cakes (more commonly known as lefse).


I got most of what I asked for for Christmas plus a few extra things. ( My Christmas Presents )


We got over a foot of snow between Wednesday and yesterday and last night it rained for awhile then turned to sleet and back over to snow. @_@ I just love Minnesota weather.

A shameful pimp of my fandom_stocking  here
I still haven't finished, or actually even started, the gifts I plan on making. Hopefully I'll get it done before the reveal.

Teasers:


The rest

So, it's time for fandom_stocking. Last year I signed up to be a last minute stocking-stuffer, this year I'm going to have my own stocking. :) It's a great comm, you don't need to be a fic writer to participate and it's open to all fandoms, go check it out.

I've managed to get two of my three icon posts for the month done. I'm hoping to get the last one posted by Monday.

20 Ninth Doctor Icons for doctorwho20in20
20 Miscellaneous Icons for free20in20 (Including: Stock Icons, Dancing with the Stars, Robert Downey Jr., Nathan Fillion, Johnny Depp, Hugh Grant and John Barrowman)

The third set will be from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I really liked it, it was better than I expected it to be. Although, you have to ignore the plot holes that were the size of Jupiter.

( Spoilers... )

Like I said, plot holes and there are more. Lots more. I liked it for the explosions and the 'stay ahead of the disaster' running.

2. I will pick 6 of your icons.
3. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I chose.

Made by musesrealm. It's made with a font that types a barcode in place of letters and numbers. She has one of her own name that she uses occasionally and I thought it was cool. One day she asked her flist if any of us would like one... I also use it as my default picture on MySpace, Facebook and Twitter.


Made by leatharegee Cain/Glitch, my OTP from Tin Man. The only fandom I have an OTP in. 'Good morning, sweetheart' is from a line between Cain and Glitch in part 3 or 4.


Made by felis_astrum  Roger Daltrey drinking a cup of tea. I try to limit myself to just few icons from each fandom, etc. unless I can also use them as non-fandom icons. This one fits that nicely.



Made by maureenlycaon  This is actually supposed to be a Valentine's Day icon, but it works for other things too. :) I love the red heart on the gray background.


Made by vilakins  I think the sun rising/setting in the green sky over the purple water is neat.


Made by musesrealm  We all have times like this. I don't use this one much, occasionally when I sign up for things I really don't have time for.EDIT: Ugh! Once again lj-cut won't work for me. I'm not even going to bother trying to fix it this time. Last time it took me two days to make it work right.

Hee!

Castle is like, the best show ever!
