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.

Honestly, they never would have made it out of LA.. Driving through collapsing buildings, flying between collapsing buildings. Not gonna happen. Then they get to Yellowstone. The plane would have coughed a died when it was enveloped in that ash cloud. The Earth's crust could not shift 1,500 miles in just a couple hours.

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.

1. Comment to this entry saying 'ICONS!'
2. I will pick 6 of your icons.
3. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I chose.

ithildynchose

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.

The first of the breed specific abilities has been implemented. YAY!! And it's a useful one!

As of the State of the Cave 10/04/2009, the new pink dragons are able to influence eggs. Using a male pink you can influence an egg to be male and a female pink can influence an egg to be female. More breed specific abilities will be added soon. :)

I went to the 70th anniversary showing of The Wizard of Oz. It was really cool to see it on the big screen. I enjoyed it much more than I do watching it at home.

What else have I been up to...

Last weekend we had a yard sale. We made $126, so it was definitely worth the hassle. We have enough stuff left that we're going to do it again this weekend (starting tomorrow).

I'm hoping to get tickets for the Michael Jackson 'This Is It' showing. It all depends on how expensive the tickets are. I know his record company (Epic Records) wants the tickets to be like $25-$100, but AEG (who is putting it on) wants to keep them affordable ($10-$20). So, we'll see.

The season premire of Dancing with the Stars was this week. I think my top 5 for this season are:
Joanna Krupa, Aaron Carter, Donny Osmond, Kelly Osbourne and Mya

01. If you'd like, comment to this entry saying 'ICONS!' and I will pick 6 of your icons.

02. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I picked!

An odd assortment of icons...

Servalan, made by vandonovan as part of a set of Blake's 7 icons. All of them are pretty, but I like this one best.

Rodney McKay from Stargate. He's deathly allergic to citrus. :) Icon by vilakins

Ringo Starr and John lennon. This picture is so cute I just had to make an icon of it.

Two and Jamie. Probably my favorite Doctor & Companion duo. Definitely my favorite Doctor Who fic pairing. Made by babel

Blackadder, made by rosedark_icons. I love Rowan Atkinson and Blackadder is my favorite of his characters. He's just such a snarky bastard.

Methos! That's reason enough to love the icon. :D A 5,000 year_old immortal, he really is 'old enough to know better'. ;) Icon made by musesrealm, one of my favorite icon makers.

This is after I fiddled with the picture in photoshop.

Michael Jackson

It's two months later and today would have been Michael's birthday. It's time for the tribute post I promised.

Poems written by Michael Jackson

Planet Earth

Planet Earth, my home, my place
A capricious anomaly in the sea of space
Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter, in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart, soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul

In my veins I've felt the mystery
Of corridors of time, books of history
Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood
Have danced the rhythm of tide and flood
Your misty clouds, your electric storm
Were turbulent tempests in my own form

I've liked the salt, the bitter, the sweet
Of every encounter, of passion, of heat
Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste
Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste
In your beauty I've known the how
Of timeless bliss, this moment of now

Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter, in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid
Cold as rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart, gentle and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul
Planet Earth, gentle and blue
With all my heart, I love you

Untitled

Those are
moments when
fate is
unsealed

Nothing is
impossible and
we are healed

We can soar
we can fly
walk on fire
navigate the sky

In the light
of a
flickering star

There is
no
distance
nothing is far

Those are moments
of innocent guile

In the glow we are
suspended a while

Those are moments
when babies smile

A picture of the Mary Tyler Moore Statue....

Quoted from Wikipedia:

In early May 2002, Moore was present as cable TV network TV Land dedicated a statue in downtown Minneapolis to the television character she made famous on Mary Tyler Moore. The statue is in front of the Dayton's (now Macy's) department store, near the corner of 7th Street and Nicollet Mall. It depicts the well-known moment in the show's opening credits where Mary throws her tam o'shanter cap in the air, in a freeze-frame at the end of the montage.^[35]

A slightly fuzzy picture of me

I went to see Tim Sigler (a local musician) perform tonight. Most of those pictures came out fuzzy as well, but I managed to salvage one of them.
