Daily Pilots Post: Casual Friday
Jan. 7th, 2011 09:59 amFriday has a name. And the name that it has, besides Friday, is SPAM DAY.
In other words (words not stolen from Dr. Horrible): Today's post is a free-for-all! Tell us what you're up to right now, what your plans for the weekend are. Introduce yourself if you're new to the comm/ship. Post pics or gifs. Share unpopular opinions. Talk about the latest book you read or movie you saw that reminded you of BSG/pilots.
In other *other* words: What's up, Shipper Nation?!

*heavy sigh*
Why is it that the "so close" moments make me as sad as they make me happy somedays?

I'm reading brokenmneumonic's Fractured, finally, and really enjoying it. Also making icons for iconic_lee. (Which needs more icons (http://community.livejournal.com/iconic_lee/23638.html)! Go make some!)
And I think I might actually be able to finish my quilt, finally, next week. I'm pinning the border on this afternoon, possibly sewing it as well. Then I'll just need to tie it together. I've been working on this blanket for a decade. Literally. I can't figure out if this means that I'm going to have to keep patching it as time goes on or if I'm going to be so sick of working on it that if this doesn't work out it's going straight into the trash.
You know. Same old, same old. :)

no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 03:43 am (UTC)The children's book is a very short piece, that deals with separation anxiety. A mom is going out for the night, and her baby is nervous, so she gives her a blanket that used to be hers, talks about it a little and promises to be back in the morning.
And. These are (hopefully) my jobs. I'm not going into an office, but this is my work. I'm just lucky that we can afford for me to work at such piecemeal stuff. And take so long at it.

Date: 2011-01-08 03:45 am (UTC)I'm giving my husband two weeks to go through the first chapter, and if he doesn't manage it, I'm going to be asking around for someone else to do the beta for me, 'cause as much as I appreciate his feedback, I also appreciate it actually getting done.

Date: 2011-01-07 10:54 pm (UTC)I saw Black Swan the other day and I kinda liked it. It's funny, I liked it more when I left the theatre and less as time went by. It was an interesting movie and I think Natalie Portman is a shoo-in for an Oscar nod.
I've been reading the Harry Potter books and well, more on that later. I want to reserve my final opinion until I've read all of them.
In TV news, my biggest sigh of relief right now is that Grey's continues to kick ass this season. So far not a single bad episode and that says a lot, IMO considering all of last year sucked big time. Can't wait for Fringe to start over again. Oh, and the Top Chef All Stars is pretty damn good too. Super exciting stuff. BFF gave me a collector's edition of Six Feet Under for Xmas and I have to work myself up to watching it, but I hear it's excellent.
Any way, in fandom news .... I'M WRITING! I'm so excited. I'm writing every day and yes
That's about it. I do miss BSG a lot, tbh. I don't feel that there are any shows on TV right now that are as epic as BSG. I love Fringe, but ... doesn't even come close to OUR show.

Date: 2011-01-07 11:20 pm (UTC)I have a writing plan if not any actually writing.
I really want to buy yarn.
Tomorrow, I'm going to go sit in the cold and watch the Seahawks play the Saints.

Enjoy the game. Maybe the cold will inspire your knitting. :)

Sherlock: "Why would I do that?"
John: "Because you're an idiot."
So fun!
