Can I just say? ( spoilers for doctor who 4.02 )
It's looking like series four maybe won't suck!

Stole this from carrielh...

Oh my fuck, my smoke alarm has been beeping intermittently for the last hour-and-a-half no reason what so fucking ever. It's three o' fucking clock in the morning! And it's not evenly spaced beeps, or anything, either. I timed them. And sometimes there's just two beep and other times there's, like, seven in a row and my building supers are away on vacation and the replacement dude is only available during business hours and IT NEEDS TO BE SLEEP TIME NOW. Fuck.


ETA: And almost fifteen minutes later with no beeping, I am willing to conclude that livejournal is magic. Yay!

When you see this post, quote from Doctor Who on your LJ.

Well, carrielh posted this meme in her journal, and being that I am currently in the midst of a major DW addiction (although I have managed to not rewatch Utopia or The Sound Of Drums again. Well, not in their entireties, anyway), I could hardly pass it up. So here are two quotes for my sweet, lost OT3:

DOCTOR: Rose! I've just remembered!
ROSE: What?
DOCTOR: I can dance!
ROSE: Actually, Doctor... I thought Jack might like this dance.
DOCTOR: I'm sure he would, Rose. I'm absolutely certain. But who with?

and

JACK: But closing a rift always leaves a scar, and that scar generates energy, harmless to the Human Race--
DOCTOR:But perfect for the TARDIS, so just park it here for a couple of days right on top of the scar and--
JACK: Open up the engines, soak up the radiation--
ROSE: Like filling her up with petrol and off we go!
JACK: Into time!
ALL THREE: And space! (high-fives all around)
ROSE: Whoo!
MICKEY: My God, have you seen yourselves? You all think you're so clever, don't you?
DOCTOR: Yeah.
ROSE: Yeah!
JACK: Yep!

( and one more, non-ot3-flavoured quote from Utopia )

And I'll have the new episode tomorrow! Hopefully!

I have now watched Utopia and The Sound Of Drums three times each. Since Monday. I-- I think I need help? Or fic recs.

You know what I hate? People who come into the store where I work and just wait expectantly. Because obviously I must know what they want by now, right? I mean, okay, sure you come into to the store fairly often and always get the same thing, fine. That much about you I can usually remember. But d'ya know how many people come in every weak or every day or every minute and buy the same frakking thing? Many, many people. And d'ya know how much of my rather shoddy memory I want to devote to remembering everyone's orders? Somewhere in the vicinity of NONE AT ALL. God. Do these people not get that I hate my job? And yes, I do remember what some people get, but that's usually because those people are nice and pleasant and talk to me like I'm an actual human being, they don't just stand there with their self-importance fairly oozing off of them and making stupid comments about how they know I can get it if I just try. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

...

Okay. I think that's gotten it out of my system for now. In other, much happier news, yay for the finding of apartements! Gotta focus on the positive.

Hokay. So, I have a couple of questions of varying importance.

Firstly, how does one add a banner to one's lj? Is this something only paid accounts can do?

Second, um, -ly, is it possible to make a website (such as, for instance, a television network's site that is showing streaming episodes of their shows but only if you happen to be in the States) think that I am in the States? I seem to recall reading once that there was a way to do so, but the specifics of such an undertaking have escaped my memory.

Thirdly, what the hell else was I going to ask? Seriously, I know there was something else I wanted to know. Ah, well, I'm sure it will come to me at some point.

I'm a bit behind the times with this, but I have never made a picspam before - I almost made one for The Pretender, but I chickened out got too busy with schoolwork - and I wanted to take my time. Hanyway, this was originally inspired by hobviously's picspam of awesome, and was further inspired by bantha_fodder's subsequent picspam. So, onward:

1. This is a picspam.
2. It's skewed towards girls, because girls are really really pretty.
3. Everything that is included was found in my randomly-updated My Pictures folder, so there's some new and some really old.
4. It is not at all dial-up safe.
5. It's incredibly random.
6. EVERYONE should make picspams of awesome, because they make me happy. And, y'know, the world exists to please me.

( The one who lives inside my mind... )

This picspam has been brought to you by:
Don't Die In Me by Mirah
Dazed, Beautiful and Bruised by Catatonia
March Of The Sinister Ducks by Alan Moore (I think?)
and, um, the letter Theta.

Well. That was fun.

What could make OK Go on treadmills even better? OK Go Lego on treadmills. Awesome.

Noah Grey's photography is some of the most beautiful stuff I have seen in ever. From the somewhat eerily stirring, to the amusing, to the utterly adorable, it's all just gah. So pretty.

This was just too good not to share.

I can't tell if the guy in the pink shirt is the awesomest one, or just really annoying.

Current as of page 228

Oh, Meredith. GET CANCER AND DIE. kthnx. :)

And I actually thought Derek and Addy were pretty cute together. I was almost starting to like him. But then Meridith had to come along and suck all of my Derek-non-hatred away. Oh, well.

ETA: And how could I forget? ISABEL EVANS + PAPA WINCHESTER 4EVA!!!!!!!!!

I used my TWoP login for this meme, as it's more of an actual name, but then I thought I might as well try it with the English translation as well, and I can't decide which of them I like more.

( This one definitely has a better reward )


( but this crime is just so me )

WAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!ONE!

SO I WATCHED DOCTOR WHO AND IT WAS ALL FINE AND EVERYTHING WAS LOVELY EVEN THOUGH I REALLY, REALLY MISS CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON BUT TEN WAS ALSO AWESOME AND CAP'T JACK WASN'T THERE BUT I'D BASICALLY HARDENED MYSELF TO THE FACT THAT HE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS EPISODE WHILE STILL HOLDING OUT HOPE FOR HIS RETURN EVENTUALLY AND SO EVERYTHING WAS FINE, BUT THEN! THEN, I WENT AND READ MY FLIST AND AND AND THERE WERE COMMENTS ALLUDING TO THE NEED FOR IT TO BE SPRING NOW AND THIS CONFUSED AND FRIGHTENED ME BECAUSE I HAD (PERHAPS FOOLISHLY) ASSUMED THAT THIS WAS THE START OF THE NEW SEASON AND SO WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE SPRING?

AND SO I WENT TO TV.COM BUT IT APPARENTLY SUCKS AND TOLD ME NOTHING AND THEN I WENT TO THE CBC AND IT TOLD ME VERY LITTLE OTHER THAN THAT THERE WAS A SECOND SEASON AND THEN I LOOKED ON THEIR NEWS PAGE AND THERE WAS THIS SPOILER IN A HEADLINE AND SO NOW I'M ALL EXCITED ABOUT THAT AND REALLY WANT TO TELL SOMEONE BUT I'M ALSO STILL ANXIOUS ABOUT WHEN THE SEASON IS SUPPOSED TO START AND CAN'T STOP CAPSLOCKING ABOUT EITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS. AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE HOW BIG OF A SPOILER THIS IS BECAUSE I'M TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS TO THAT SORT OF THING AND, I MEAN, IT WAS IN A HEADLINE, FOR FRICK'S SAKE...SO, I DON'T KNOW. BUT I HATE BEING SPOILED MYSELF AND I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE SPOILED, IF THIS IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING OTHER PEOPLE DON'T KNOW AND DON'T WANT TO KNOW, BUT I REALLY WANT TO SHARE MY GLEE AND HAVE OBVIOUSLY HAD WAY TO MUCH CANDY TODAY.

El-jay has increased the userpic space for free accounts. So, to celebrate I bring you...( Five Firefly icons )
Enjoy!
