I've recently found some great links for times when you feel like procrastinating. I take no responsibility for loss for productivity, but I just have to share them here:

+ My Mini City is pretty awesome. You create a city, and then it grows every time someone clicks on the link! Please visit my city and help it grow!

+ Have you guys heard of set? It's a card game in which you have to find sets of cards that have certain matching or non-matching features. You can play it here: (Set Daily Puzzle). You can also play it at the New York Times here.

+ Shot is pretty addictive. It's a very simple puzzle game where you have to knock balls off a table by colliding them. The aim is to only have one left.

Oh, 'Lantis. I'm going to miss you.

I tried to write some of my favourite moments, but there are just too many! There were so many great moments in my shiny, shiny show!

Behind the cut are 10 of my favourite scenes, but I know that I've missed so many. I basically went through my screencaps, and said "ooooooohhhhhh, I LOVED that scene" at fairly regular intervals. Then had the painful task of trying to keep my list to only 10!

I'd love to remember some more of the great scenes. So, dear friendslist, please spam me with your favourite scenes, quotes, screencaps, fic links... anything and everything related to SGA. Let's focus on the love!

Oh my god! Does anyone else have the DVD of "Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog"? Mine arrived today, and I'm currently watching "Commentary! The Musical" - that's right, the commentary is a MUSICAL! It's hilarious! Joss Whedon, how are you so awesome?

It's just... I think I'm in shock! Nathan, Neil, Felicia, Joss, Jed and others all sing. And the songs are so weird. Explanations can't do this justice. You can read the lyrics here, but I don't even think that would do it justice. You should buy the dvd!!.

Seriously, it's worth buying for this alone. I haven't even looked at the other extras yet. I hope they're just as insanely weird funny.

PS noorie, your presents arrived today. Thanks so much - I love them!

Callum Keith Rennie is a good influence. He's given me the inspiration to finally start making icons again! There are 28 in this post. They're mostly Hard Core Logo icons, and there are also a few from Last Night and Due South. Paul Gross and Hugh Dillon also make an appearance!

Happy new year everyone! I hope you all had a great New Years Eve.

Mine was very nice. I had a small gathering at my place with a nice group of friends. We had some drinks, played cards and pool, and walked down to the beach to see the fireworks. Best of all, I woke this morning feeling great, with very little stuff to clean up.

For me, 2008 was a pretty great year. My trip to the US and Canada was the main highlight, and the Armageddon expo where I met David Hewlett was also wonderful.

As for 2009, I have some not-very-exciting resolutions:

Anyway, guess what I'm watching at the moment? Merlin! I'm currently up to episode 4, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm not yet at the level of love that most of my friendslist seems to have, but I can see myself falling for it! Gaius is pretty awesome, Arthur is quite hot, Merlin is such a cutie. I don't like seeing Anthony Head (when did he drop the Stewart?) being such a jerk though.

Oh, and empressvesica and ria_kukalaka, I received your Christmas cards yesterday. Thanks so much! ria_kukalaka, I LOVE the Doctor Who magnets!!

And Happy Birthday onecheekyhobbit! *hugs*

The first time I watched Hard Core Logo, I was doing other things at the same time. I watched it again, and this time, I REALLY watched. I just have to say, I love that movie so much!

( My second viewing of Hard Core Logo - including a question for those who've seen it. (Under the cut, I also mention the end, which you really don't want to be spoiled for...) )

PS Can anyone please link me to a script of the movie?

The "How Much Do We Have In Common" Poll

Here's how it works. I've used some facts about me (including things like movies and tv shows that I love) to create a poll. I'd love to know how many of these things we have in common. So, please fill in the poll, and tick the box if you agree (or if the fact is also true about yourself).

(I think this would make a fun meme, so please feel free to copy this idea if you want!)

[Poll #1319759]

Day 5 of the "things that make me happy" meme:

+ My parents came over this morning and helped me to pick some of the seemingly never-ending supply of apricots!
+ I watched an awesome episode of Boston Legal.
+ I think I've finished my Christmas shopping.
+ I went to the Carols by Candlelight with a couple of friends.
+ I'm really getting into the band Kent. Thanks again clight000! *hugs*
+ terribilita pointed out this article, which suggests that they're going to make sequels to Hard Core Logo!!
+ spacemonkeyluvn linked to me some recipes that use fresh apricots. YUM!
+ Only two days of work for the year!! (Actually a day and a half, because we have a bbq lunch on Tuesday, and won't return to work after that!)

Day 4 of the "things that make me happy" meme:

+ I washed my bedding today. I love sleeping in freshly washed bedding!

+ I received some magnets in the mail from the lovely and ever generous birggitt.
+ I received a virtual gift from larian. Thanks so much, honey! *hugs*
+ I found this post, which links to lots of Hard Core Logo meta. I can't stop over-analysing that movie, and it's great to see that I'm not the only one!
+ A friend is coming over for take-away and dvds tonight.
+ Some of my icon-muse may have returned!
