Feb. 2nd, 2012 12:06 amI'm knitting! I've just found out I'm absolute pants at purling (which doesn't even make sense because that's just a reverse knit), but the knitting's going. I'm going for a few inches a day, trying to get a scarf done by March 1st. At least that's my optimistic goal.
But here, my novice knitting let me show you it!

HUGS & KISSES EVERYWHERE
Mar. 28th, 2011 01:53 amI always fall down shocked the few times this happens on these things because I'm like nobody on the interwebs, but thank you for whoever started a thread in the anon love meme.
Meme! To break up the monotony of depressing posts that I've felt like writing:
Step 1: Put iTunes (or whatever media player) on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line (or first and second line if it's completely impossible) from the first 15 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. (instrumentals and mashups skipped, obvs.)
Step 3: Strike out the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own!
It's only fun if you play =D
Some songs have some sung/spoken words at the beginning but these are the first lines of the first verses:
1) I took my baby on a Saturday bang... "Black or White" (Michael Jackson) guessed by ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
amadi
2) Grew up in a small town and when the rain would fall down, I'd just stare out my window... "Breakaway" (Kelly Clarkson) guessed by inkstone
3) If you wanna leave, I won't beg you to stay, and if you gotta go darling, maybe it's better that way... "Don't Turn Around" (Ace of Base) guessed by amadi
4) I said baby, I love the way that you hold me, and you touch me like you know me, see I don't want nobody else...
5) To the left, to the left, everything you own in the box to the left, in the closet that's my stuff, yes, if I bought it, please don't touch... "Irreplaceable" (Beyonce) guessed by inkstone
6) I got that hit, the beat, the block, you can get that bass on the low, I got that rock and roll, that future flow... "Boom Boom Pow" (Black Eyed Peas) guessed by such_heights
7) I know I do some things that make you so confused, one minute I'm so in love but the next I can't stand you...
8) I'm going backwards through time at the speed of light, I'm yours, your mine, two satellites, not alone, no we're not alone...
9) Hey, slow it down, whataya want from me... "Whataya Want From Me?" (Adam Lambert) guessed by amadi
10) The seaweed is always greener, in somebody else's lake... "Under The Sea" (Little Mermaid) guessed by littlebutfierce
11) My love, there's only you in my life, the only thing that's right... "Endless Love" (Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey cover) guessed by yifu
12) H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A, fo' shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA... "Izzo" (Jay-Z) guessed by inkstone
13) Babe, I wanna wake up in the morning to your face, I'm fucked up by your love I swear, and that's a game, tell me deep down that you feel the same...
14) Missy be puttin' it down, I'm the hottest 'round... "Get Your Freak On" (Missy Elliott) guessed by inkstone
15) I've been stuck in the struggle, and I've been wonderin' if I'm ever gonna bubble, I'm gettin' caught up in the touch, instead of usin' my muscle...
Good luck!
ETA: I'm really excited that y'all get my mainstream sensibilities =DD

A lovely bit of snark!

mercredigirl annotated bits of Great Expectations in the style of western annotations of 'foreign' literature. It is awesome.

Oscar season is a time when members of Hollywood are celebrated and reward for the work that they do. But it is also a time when we see just how male centered the movie industry really is. As Allan G. Johnson points out, "If you want a story about heroism, moral courage, spiritual transformation, endurance, or any of the struggles that give human life its deepest meaning, men and masculinity are usually the terms in which you must see it," and since the vast majority of Hollywood films are about these narratives then that might explain the overabundance of stories about men's lives.

White Collar: THEY GAVE US A KIDNAPPING!!
Feb. 24th, 2011 02:40 pmYou know you're fandom when kidnappings are the best thing on TV.
Things I loved:
( like Mozzie I bring all the hammers...err spoilers )
-This entire episode.
If you'll excuse me I'll be watching it again. Thank you White Collar, I really needed all that happiness.

I'm having a sound-war with my next door neighbors.
I'm pretty sure me and my giant ass speakers are winning.
The RA will probably come down the hall soon.

[HalfAMoon] Extraordinary Mentions
Feb. 13th, 2011 08:02 pmI've had mad amounts of fan shouting up my fav ladies of the last year. A few bonus extraordinary picspammy mentions, just cause you can't ever have enough love :)
( when saving the world is always on the to-do list )
( when saving the world is always on the to-do list )
OMG YOU GUYS I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN WITH THESE!!
THE SHORT VERSION: When I'm feeling a little down, I watch a Faith episode.
"Faith. Her name alone invokes awe. "Faith". A set of principles or beliefs upon which you're willing to devote your life. The Dark Slayer. A lethal combination of beauty, power, and death."
I remember discovering Buffy, ridiculously happy about it for a reason I couldn't identify back then (do they still call it girl power?) and thinking that it couldn't possibly get better. In walked Faith. It was love at first sight.
Coming in as what was essentially The Spare, Faith takes over and rocks the scooby boat. She's messed up and she knows it, and her character arc is all about learning to forgive others and herself, learning to be okay with being Faith and not what anyone else expects her to be. Above all, her persistence- whether it's to be bad or to be...well, not bad, is the most impressive thing about her. Her left hook's nothing to sniff at either ;)

Jan. 23rd, 2011 06:13 pmI was watching Xena (squee-inducing camp for all!) when I came across this news on the interwebs.
An NBC Wonder Woman pick-up!
An NBC Wonder Woman pick-up!
A mere two weeks after every network passed on it, David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman has been lassoed in by NBC. The pilot features Diana Prince as a harried crime fighter/corporate executive saving Los Angeles from itself.Alright, NBC. Don't fuck this up like you did Undercovers (and don't think we've forgotten that you still air Outsourced).
Dropping by to say...
Jan. 21st, 2011 11:51 pmYou should probably watch The Good Wife (CBS).

less than coherent.
Conclusions so far:
Eliot is Batman.
( tiny spoiler )
Parker.
I badly want fic with Sophie as ( another tiny spoiler ) and somehow this means she and Michelle Obama interact.
Make it work fandom.
How in the world am I supposed to survive the hiatus?

I really need this show not to be cancelled, so please tune in during airtime whenever you can. There's a whole meta post in there about the cancelling of a show with two black leads and the repercussions and bad excusing that would result. Hopefully someone with more word spoons will write it soon. But really, watch during airtime whenever you can.

I love my reading list; a good lot of you are nominated over here: From anonymous, with love - the anonymous love meme from meloukhia.
Now go love on each other =D
Good things can come anonymously.
[ETA: There's an index now!, courtesy ofdingsi]
On that note, I recommendsynecdochic's weekly Monday pride meme (anonymous commenting is enabled):

synecdochic's weekly Monday pride meme (anonymous commenting is enabled):Mondays, every week, let's celebrate ourselves, to start the week right. Tell me what you're proud of. Tell me what you accomplished last week, something -- at least one thing -- that you can turn around and point at and say: I did this. Me. It was tough, but I did it, and I did it well, and I am proud of it, and it makes me feel good to see what I accomplished. Could be anything -- something you made, something you did, something you got through. Just take a minute and celebrate yourself. Either here, or in your journal, but somewhere.
Code Push!
Oct. 3rd, 2010 09:31 pmSo I have a bit of a selfish stake in this code push.
Color themes, I have lots!
My two styles babies are Compartmentalize and Practicality.
*loves onninetydegrees*, my primary handholder and beta and patcher for both styles.
Hopefully more color themes will be created for them by the next code push but they are fully customizable at the moment, so I hope users like them :)
Other awesome things in the code push that I'm more than excited for:

Other awesome things in the code push that I'm more than excited for:
- Polls - we'll be able to submit poll answers without having to leave the page! I was just hanging around
![[site community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/comm_staff.png)
dw_suggestions so this is a wonderful thing right now. - A collapsible cut tag! I thought the expandable cuts were nifty, being able to collapse them back is like jam on sliced bread. The awesome doesn't stop!
- Renames!
Spies & Wizards
Oct. 2nd, 2010 07:04 pmMy Follow Friday was a bit heavy, so let's lighten things up with some fluffy TV!
Undercovers continues to be very fluffy and pretty.
Steven/Sam/Leo are adorable and should just get in bed, already. I also love that the boys acknowledge that Sam is in charge, at all times. femDom!Samantha may be my new kink.
(gif from lungful)
There's very little more I can say than I'm glad it exists, a real breath of fresh air from the usual overdramatic fare (not that I mind drama, just that it's nice to know I can tune in to something easy to watch).
A lot of the complaints about this show is that there isn't enough tension or angst or drama or darkness. I get that it's fandom instinct to search out tension and ship it but it is possible to be fannish about light and fluffy shows.
I say bring on the sweetness. And now, there's a Dreamwidth comm @![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
undercovers.
All Undercovers related posts are welcome.
( Merlin was all about the boys this ep. )
