So I had a whole thing about the Oscars on Monday and didn't post it, and now it feels irrelevant. So. moving on. (except how i find it hilarious that Jared Leto couldn't even get his statue out of the freaking building without damaging it. dude, were you drunk already? lol)

I'm blacklisting all Cap2 stuff at this point - I remember how many clips Disney/Marvel released for IM3 and TDW and I am wise to them and their spoilerrific ways as we get closer to release. I think I know all I need to already. *frowny face*

Today was Little League opening day, as well as the first game of the season. And it was sunny and warm, and quite lovely though I got a bit sunburned on my cheeks. Kiddo got one of the few hits for his team (because pitching is terrible so almost everyone gets walked). Spouse got lured into being scorekeeper which is some kind of karma for something, heh.

My rewatch post of BSG: Six Degrees through Hand of God

Longmire review, ep 8 "Henry goes a-tracking"

Saw TDKR on Saturday. Catwoman is awesome. Bruce is awesome. Actually all the characters get great moments. Me and hubby now really want to see the IMAX version.

Otherwise, fannishly, I've been trying very hard to work on this NPT Ficathon draft due Wed. It is still eluding me to some extent, but I think I have some of it going finally.

Just read that Sally Ride passed away. So sad. She came to UCSD when I was there, and she was one of my roommate's professors, but sadly I never met her. :(

ETA: Attention Team Basestar, we have a date for Battleship! I almost missed it in my flist, so just trying to spread the word, since it's coming up very quickly on us!

The Battlestar Galactica "land" comm NEEDS YOU. Or actually TEAM BASESTAR needs you! We are underscribed and while Cylons are superstrong and work well in a team, we work best with OVERWHELMING NUMBERS.

or at least even ones.

Twelve Colonies is a "land" comm, based on whedonland and its ilk - it's a game community with games and puzzles, challenges, fic writing, graphic making for points, and at the end of the round we play Battleship for victory! You don't have to be particularly talented at anything (trust me, I submitted a header made in Paint last year!), since it's mostly participation that matters.

Team Basestar needs you. SIGN UP HERE

(If you've played before, you still need to sign up. We started from scratch. And say I sent you. *g*)

It's super fun! Feel free to ask me questions if you're interested.

(Um, so, my first DW fic? Hopefully it's not too awful)


( Encounter )

Someone on the Ellen Show's Facebook posted a link to the Facing Kate/Fairly Legal Promo I put on YouTube. The hits, they have ASPLODED. (relatively. y'know. For me.)

Otherwise, as I vaguely promised last week at some point, here's the wrap up on my twelvecolonies challenge stuff:

- one photo image blend

- three song parodies called "Kara's Favorite Things", "Cylon Number Six", and "The Ballad of Anders"

*snicker*

( My artistic skillzzz - the image blend )

( Three song parodies )

And yes, that last one is really long. I got just a tiny bit carried away.

argh! How am I supposed to sing the twelvecolonies song for our epic battle when I can't find the microphone for my computer? Perhaps we should've thought about this BEFORE the last minute, Liz? What secret, dark cubby did I put it in that I can't find it now?

I don't think I've seen it since the LAST 12C parody song-fest, so it could be anywhere. damn. I don't have time to look for it much more either, since I'm away this weekend. bah. I have a mic in my camera attached to the laptop, but I think it's pretty crappy. mm, decisions...

Don't forget the Epic Battle Cylon brothers and sisters!

We have returned from four days (sans internet, ONOES!) on the Big Island of Hawaii. It's been beautiful and sunny with occasional political campaigning (the primary election is very soon and there are signs EVERYWHERE).

Oh, and the car accident. It was actually kind of hilarious, since no one was hurt. We stayed with relatives over there, and one of them managed to back into our rental car. In their own driveway. OOPS.

And yesterday, while walking on the recent but cold lava field in the south, where there is nothing but black rock for five hundred meters in every direction, kiddo picked up a chunk and threw it. It landed PERFECTLY on top of hubby's head. I saw it coming down and couldn't believe it was going to hit him. So we decided to leave that island before someone landed in the hospital.. hee.

Alas, no hot lava sighting this trip, but I do have some cool pics of other stuff to share once I get home to upload them.

Fannishly speaking, I scribbled on my Big Bang and THANK THE LORDS OF KOBOL the deadline has been extended because the last part was going to be a load of hasty crap. I also keep getting slightly confused with Black Sails, since I've reached the part in the plot(s) where they run parallel to each other, but the character mix is different ('wait, D'Anna's where again??').

I also need to work on my picspam for Twelve Colonies in the next day or two -- I have the pics but I need to do something a bit more interesting than shove them into a table. bah.

Phew! I finally cracked the dreaded 25K for my mininano. YAY.

Now to put it in some sort of readable fashion before the deadline tomorrow. (a.ka. add more words since I have part of the ending taking up some of that minimum, and not the middle.)

It is not, shall we say, a masterwork of literature. :)

For any Paramore fans: amazon is selling the MP3 download of Paramore's Brand New Eyes album for 3.99 !!

I'm waiting the results of the twelve_colonies. HOW MUCH FUN WAS THAT???? Also, I am a bad Cylon for completely frakking up on two of the games there at the end -- writing ones at that. SORRY TEAM. MASSIVE FAIL.

Tee VEE time!

( FlashForward and Forgotten and other shows beginning with F )

Ok, I'm sorry, I find it utterly hilarious that Woody Allen is calling for Roman Polanski's release.
