HI GLEEKS! I went to the Most Fearless Canadian Contest where Cory Monteith and Sir Richard Branson were judges. I am forever grateful to the power of Google Alerts for telling me that Cory would be at this event, because I would not have known otherwise. I didn't have a chance to go to the event in the morning at Dundas Square for the Raise the Roof Campaign (to eradicate homelessness), but I'm happy that at least others had a chance, like [livejournal.com profile] jadarz. :D

My recap will not be as amazing as [livejournal.com profile] jadarz because she has the coolest camera ever and mine hates it if it's not 100% sunlight and no shadows, so being in a dimly lit club with lights flashing around is not ideal. So my recap will be light on the photos, BUT! I did take some videos during the events and edited them together to make a short mini montage. Also... Cory was forced into a dance-off and it was quite hilarious (when I wasn't dying of second hand embarrassment). ;)



Cut for pics, videos, and my recap! )

As far as old school sci-fi, it's Star Wars hands down. For new shows, I gotta say Battlestar Galactica and Doctor Who. ♥


I also need to talk about How I Met Your Mother season finale, because it was all kinds of awesome. I don't have the energy to do a huge meta/essay on my thoughts, so let's look at some pretty caps that I took to illustrate the fun parts!

HIMYM: 'The Leap' - 4.24 Pic!Spam )

Okay, so bed now. That pic!spam too way longer than expected.

It's time I did some spring cleaning since it is, well, spring. I didn't do a very large cut, just the people who I haven't spoken to in a long time, or people who haven't posted in a long time. I also cut people who still post regularly, but I felt like we didn't have that much in common anymore. No hard feelings. You can unfriend me too, whatever you want. Just keep in mind, the majority of my posts are friends only, so I doubt you'll be seeing much.

How do you know if you were cut? If you can't see this post, then you've been cut. It's been fun guys, see you 'round! :)

Version 15.0: James McAvoy - 'Come On, Come Out'
Song:
Come On, Come Out - A Fine Frenzy
Layout Template: (#25) 'Your Biggest Flan' by [livejournal.com profile] thefulcrum,
with some size & colour alterations
Best Viewed: 1024 x 768

HA! My last header/layout was short lived. (Less than a month!) But to be fair, I have been working on this James McAvoy theme for a while now. It started as just a wallpaper , but then I wanted to convert it to a header. But I wasn't sure about the size, so I fumbled around with this template and decided I wanted it at least 900px wide. I'm not a huge fan of really narrow headers, which then makes your entries have to be really skinny too. Probably because I write a lot, and if it's all condensed it looks like even more writing. I like it all spread out.

I started out with this image, and then used textures by [livejournal.com profile] tihana as well as some of my own creations. I'm probably still going to be changing some of the text colours because I'm not quite happy with the dark grey. I wanna match the font colours to the header.

I'm still at a loss as to why I still don't have a James icon. I suppose that shall come too, eventually. Anyway, I hope you like it. I think it's prettyful! :D

I finally got around to changing/finishing changing my layout. I used the css codes by [livejournal.com profile] thefulcrum though I didn't use any of her headers. I was originally going to go with Gwen/Jack or a Doctor/Rose theme but I stumbled upon this pic of Alexis Bledel and just HAD to use it. It's gorgeous, and I've never seen it before. I also kinda want her dress. So without further ado, I present to you my new layout:

Version 14.0: Alexis Bledel - 'Aspettami'

On a negative note, I'm crazy pissed that tonight/tomorrow is spring forward in daylight saving. I lose an hour of sleep! I LOVE sleep! I want to marry sleep! Stupid time zones and saving light...

Originally uploaded by blissful.pics

I've had a Flickr account for a long time now, but never uploaded anything because I wasn't confident enough that my pics were "pretty" enough to be on there. I snapped a few pics of some lilies we got at the Welland Farmers' Market on Saturday and they actually turned out really well! This one is my favourite of the batch. It reminds me of fireworks. :) Click the pic for more of that set.

Oh, I know, I know. Another icon meme. But I think this one is fun. Please join in! :)


Comment and I'll pick seven of your icons, and then you will explain why you love/are using the icon (who doesn't love talking about their icons, seriously) and then post your explanation/this meme in your journal for other people to squee about their icons, and basically it will be a huge squeefest of love and 100x100 square pixels.

I'm a little on the fence about last night's Heroes. This is going to be out of order because I was too tired to make running notes.

Heroes: 2.04 - 'The Kindness of Strangers' spoilers )

Today is Tuesday! Which means Gossip Girl on CTV at 7 (I have yet to watch a whole episode from start to finish, not sure why, but I'll try to tonight.) and Pushing Daisies on CTV at 8!! I'm excited for some kissing-through-celophane!! ;)
neonbliss: Peanuts1: John Boyega & Daisy Ridley (Default)


Holy crap, you guys!!! Join in on the fun!
I never get past the 4th or 5th challenge on these things but I love them anyways.
Please join! And if you can't make icons but still love the show, then join anyways and vote! :D

It never seems to be a long enough episode of Heroes. I end up looking at my watch and it's 9:50 and I'm like, WHAAT? But I wanna see more!!

Heroes, 2.03 'Kindred' spoilers )


ETA: I was watching Journeyman last night and after watching so many other tv shows that discuss the issue of time travel (Doctor Who, Heroes, etc...) you'd think they'd address the idea of messing the time/space continuum a little more. I always assumed that if you mess with something in the past (especially when it comes to saving someone who is supposed to die) it can mess up the future really badly. When Dan goes back and saves these people's lives, the world is different because yesterday they were dead and today they are alive, but they never explain how the universe makes up for this imbalance. I doubt I'll be watching this show that much more because it kinda bores me, and these anomalies in the show bug me too much. Just my two cents.

Umm, so my new mood theme kicks all kind of ass!! It's Doctor Who themed with Rose/Ten AND Billie/David. AND it's ANIMATED!!! I'm so in love with it. (It's by [livejournal.com profile] lambietoes who is seriously amazing. Go see more of her stuff, like now!)

I miss Ten and Rose together. I absolutely adore Martha, and while I was devastated that Rose is gone and Ten is all sad and mopey, I'm glad he has Martha now. She's pretty awesome too. But yeah. Ten/Rose mood theme FTW!! \o/

I am a lemming, but I really think this is super cool!


neonbliss: Peanuts1: John Boyega & Daisy Ridley (Default)
I have had the most unproductive weekend ever. I have a 5-6 page research essay due Tuesday and I have barely looked at it. Whoops. Instead, I fiddled around with photoshop. [livejournal.com profile] buffyx was talking about Kate and Leo in a new movie and while I have never 'shipped them before, I was getting all nostalgic and then suddenly I was searching for Kate and Leo pics and I made a manip of them in bed! WTF? Lol.

Why, you ask, did I do this? Well, because apparently manipping random celebs is WAAAYY more important that school. Pffttt... Yes, I am weird. Embrace it. :P

I am so completely obsessed with her. I actually had a really random dream about hanging out with her in Galactica's observation deck last night. I am very much enamoured by this icon (by profoundly_grey). It's so Starbuck and Kara mixed into one. She's so beautiful. I remember starting watching BSG and reading all the hype about certain characters. When I first saw Kara I wasn't really bowled over by her looks. She's not conventionally beautiful, and I think that's why I love her so much. By the end of the mini I was ready to jump on the Starbuck love train. I love her strength and how beautifully frakked up she is. She's just totally made of awesome. She's one of the few women I'd seriously consider switching teams for. And I'm not just saying that; I would! ;) [livejournal.com profile] estel_sparks made me do this pic!spam. I decided to do a little pic!spam. Warning: Not very dia-up friendly, just so you know. :)

Hola my friends! I've been working on putting together an archive of my fics posted on LJ. It took me a little over a month to do, which is kinda ridiculous considering that I don't have that many fics posted, but I'll chalk it up to procrastination mixed with excessive schoolwork.

My new writing journal can be found at [livejournal.com profile] deadendstreeet. So far I have 12 old fics posted in the fandoms Alias, Veronica Mars, Doctor Who and Grey's Anatomy. Most of you have probably already seen/read them, but for any newcomers, it's a nice way to find all my fics in one place instead of going through my memories.

ALSO! There is one new fic I posted today in the BSG fandom entitled, "The Comfort of Strangers". It's Kara/Lee and can be found at this direct link.

Enjoy!
