I found this years ago and for some reason thought it was hilarious. Mostly because it's Alan Cumming.
It's a commercial for a fragrance called Cumming. NSFW

(Shortest post win!)

Whoo-Hoo!

Considering I've never written anything before in my life, this is quite an achievement. My story is far from done, I'd say about half way, maybe. But who cares? I did it.


Now to celebrate! With booze!

Hey, look!


I'm all caught up and might just make it. YAY!



From rose_janice 's post here I saw this video and felt really creepy after watching it.

This is considered stalking right? Like, I shouldn't know where Jensen was on Thanksgiving, but I just can't help myself.

Being a fan is walking a fine line.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I have nothing constructive to say so I'll just spam with fake movie previews

Mary Poppins




2012

Jaws:



And the awesome Evan Almighty:


Hope you enjoy!

It's almost the end of the month and I've posted everyday but haven't actually said anything about myself, so here is my first ever meme (stolen from everyone else who was doing it like 2 weeks ago, because I'm not only a thief, but also slow.)

( The boob tube )

And because it's been over a week since I spammed with youtube, this made me smile:


This is just freakin' awesome:


Her LJ if you would like to leave a comment.

My computer is up and running. Yay!

And I did it. I signed up for the friending Meme. Even if it is over and I missed the boat, hey at least I tried.

And you can too!!

The Supernatural "Hellatus" Friending Meme



I was searching around, in no way procrastinating my NaNoWriMo, and found this website: 'How To Write Badly Well.' So there's a Tuesday time waster. It's really pretty great.

But what's really interesting is that he's having a contest to see who can write the worst, or I guess with the most clichés, for a 300 word story. It sounds like it could be a blast. If the deadline wasn't by the end of November I might try my hand at it.


I'm really far behind on my NaNo but I found their 30 minute 'Word Wars' and with that and Write or Die I'm starting to catch up.

I should get back to that. *Waves to invisible friends list*

I hijacked a computer and realized that I missed a Supernatural Hiatus friending meme, thing-y. Which sucks, because that’s exactly the kinda think I need. If it’s still running tomorrow I’ll probably throw my hat in the ring and get this party started!! (That is if I can actually rustle up some friends)

Whooo!

Don’t mind me, I may be a little hyped up on caffeine. I’ve been working on my NaNo and making real headway with bridging the gap the whole ‘no computer’ thing caused. But I have high hopes of actually finishing. Which is just awesome.

Fingers crossed!


Hum, do these posts actually have to have content to count for NaBloPoMo? I say no. I like that answer.

Ok, the company I ordered my power cord from is going to get an angry letter. I paid extra for shipping to make sure it got here as soon as possible. It still hasn't arrived. I could have saved over $28 and went for the regular shipping time which had an estimated delivery date of Monday. With tomorrow being Monday, and still no cord, I just paid for a service that wasn't performed.

Yep, angry letter writing time.

Almost forgot!

This is my obligatory post for today so I don't lose NaBloPoMo, or whatever.

Still haven't gotten my cord. Stupid mail.

I have nothing to really say so I'll just ramble. I'm going out dancing tonight, it's been way too long. I had everything picked out that I was going to wear when my friend called and said that the dress attire was hip hop. What the heck do hip hop people wear? I'll take a stab at it.

Hopefully I'm not too off the mark.

My battery came in but not my cord.

On the bright side I should have over 3 hours of battery power once this new baby is charged. My computer battery used to be really awesome. I could watch full length movies with it no problem. Now it can hardly make it through a pre-view.

Hopefully I'll get my brand-spankin'-new cord tomorrow and make my computer feel all special with the new gifts.

Supernatural day!!! YAY!


( Cut for spoiler predictions )
Now I expect my f-list to update me on anything I might miss with my battery out. Oh wait, that's right, I don't have one. Crap, I really need to get on that. I need people to share my crazy with.

I was expecting to get a lot of things done with my free time now that I can’t use my computer. But it turns out that I have honed my skill of procrastination into such perfection that it is imposable to ever actually not waste time with pointless tasks. In just one day I’ve rediscovered the art of coloring books, and needle point. Yep, I’m just that cool. I can walk the fine balance between little kid and old lady with my time wasters. I wonder what I’ll come up with tomorrow.

New charger should be here Friday. Hopefully I can do something productive before then, or at least get an outline for my NaNoWriMo fleshed out so when I can crack open my computer and type again, it won’t be imposable to catch up.

(My subject line is a quote but I can’t waste juice looking for who said it. I’ll comeback later to give credit.) I think it’s Mark Twain.

Yesterday I decided that since I failed at one medium I should fail at them all. So I started to make a fan vid and besides the program playing glitchy games with me, I think it was going fairly well. Until my charger spontaneously broke in half. Because my computer won’t last longer than five minutes not plugged in, this should make posting every day extra fun.

ETA on the new charger is about 3 days. I’ll have to get inventive.

A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh man, that's great.

Awesome. Ok yeah, I got kicked out of deanlims. Apparently people don't have my same sense of humor.

I just saw that pic and couldn't get the image of Dean stubbing his toe out of my head. Yeah ok, the prompt was tears and everyone went all moody with it. But I needed a lighthearted spin. And I get it, he was talking about his time in Hell, but you don't have to know that. Sure, Dean doesn't say "Fuck" on the show, (except for being bleeped in Ghostfacers) but that just looked like the word his mouth would most easily form. Come on, you know you agree with me.

Original:




My icon:


Hey, that's some nice coloring at least, right?


Eh, to each their own. I still had fun!!! :)

Maybe next time I won't drastically miss the mark (I really wasn't trying to make fun I was only trying to make an icon I thought might actually be used) and last a little bit longer.

Um..yeah, I got nothin.

I guess I can do a progress report.

NaBloPoMo: Two weeks!

The surprise is that I'm still winning! Well, at least I still get the participation metal all the other kiddies get.

NaNoWriMo: Still behind, but not by much. Here Have a doohickey-

I should be at around 25000, so it's not too bad.


deanlims: I'm still trying to get inspired for this week's entry. I have a question about the rules I should ask before I put in a bunch of hours and find out it doesn't count. My fingers are crossed that I don't get booted out in the first round. That would be depressing, but probably for the best (see next point). Hey, at least I liked it and that's what counts, right?


j2_everafter: I decided that my time wasn't sufficiently wasted so I needed something else to help monopolize it. Or their own stupid banner inspired me too much to let it go. I signed up for Sleeping Beauty and I'm kinda really excited about it, but I know I won't have time to really work on it until December, which is sad.

Operation LiveJournal-Go!(Is that really what I'm calling it?): Well this one I fail at I think. I can't shake the lurking kick. I would love to have a bunch of friends, but don't have quite enough activation energy to start it off.

I think that's it. I really, really have to stop using YouTube for every post.

Did anyone else think of this when watching 5x09?


( Cut for pics. No spoilers for unaired episodes )


Also, voting has strated at deanlims. Head on over and vote for the icon's you like. Or just have a look at what people are making.

I wrote absolutely nothing yesterday for NaNoWriMo so that's going to come back to haunt me. Just like all the other days I did nothing. I finally caved and got the icon, which will predictably change to my default once I delete it next month. (Yeah I'm still bitter about that)

I finally sent in my entry for deanlims (and that was an experience; I had to re-teach myself photobucket and got angry at its, and my own, inadequacies), but now I have to make one for next week, presuming I make it through this round, and I have absolutely no inspiration. No that's a lie, I did have an idea but it's not panning out the way I would like. Why don't people Cap old movies?

I would like to comment on last night's episode, but with the way that fandom is exploding I think I'll just stay out of it. (I won't even say that I really liked it. Or the fact that it was a convention for a book. Look at comic book conventions, they're 99.9% male. That's just how it is. Crap.)

Hey at least I'm keeping up with NaBloPoMo. That's something right? It's one thing I've committed myself to that I don't seem to be failing at yet.


If you want to fallow the convention that's going on right now and don't have twitter click here to read what people are saying.

Fingers crossed that it goes well.

Today is Supernatural day and everyone everywhere is reccing this vid.

I'm gonna be different and rec in a theme. Inspired by 5x7 (so some spoilers for that episode.)

Stay classy

The Wincest version.

(Yeah I know, bummer, they won't embed. Don't worry I have more to spam)

Some J2:



Christopher Walken style:


And stripped:


I have absolutely no idea what brought this on.


That is all.

So a few months ago this happened- 'Survey Fail' -and I thought it was just fantastic how quickly we as a collective were able to stop that crazy train before it could pick up speed, and really represent ourselves as the intelligent, learned people we are, despite how others may judge us for our chosen pastimes.  (That came out a lot creepier then I intended.  We like to read and write.  People think that's weird.)

Yesterday this popped up which unfortunately I don't have screen caps for, of the original survey or their written disclaimer that has now been taken down.  I assume the account will be removed shortly and the link will no longer work.  However it was a survey geared toward Wincest fans asking the usual questions of 'what do you like and why.'  The survey itself was fine and I actually would be interested in the results if not only to see where I lie within the preferences of the general population of Supernatural fans.

The problem came from the fact that they refused to identify themselves or where they were affiliated, stating only that it was for a presentation for a class and that they were college students.  As someone who has done scientific research involving participants from the general population this survey wasn't adding up.  But I'm not going to get into that, I'll direct you to here and here for great explanations as to why this survey couldn't have been sanctioned for college research.

The surveyors have since retracted the survey apologizing for any trouble they have caused and stating that they will gather information on how to properly conduct such a survey before attempting again.

Now my initial thought when I found the survey, being the conspiracy theorist that I am, was that Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam found help (very polite I might add) to fix some of the problems from their first try.  But still weren't quite there yet.  (In this little world I created it was hilarious to see a commenter link the survey takers back to the Survey Fail website I have at the top of the post.  How angry Ogi must have been to see his first failure compared so quickly to his second.  But as I said this was just speculation, and I don't really think it was Ogi.)

I think whoever put up the survey handled it very well.  People were polite in pointing out the flaws, and they listened and took a step back to re-evaluate.  It happened so quickly I don't think many people know it happened at all.

But ultimately this made me wonder.  How long will it be before there is research done on how fandom reacts to bad research?

For a few hours yesterday my computer decided to change the little icons next to things I saved in my favorites, to random pics. It was kind of amusing and also frustrating because I couldn't figure out how or why it was doing it. But things are back to normal now.

I found a word count bar that I like. Well I found one and modified another's coding to make it look the way I wanted, so actually now I have two. The NaNoWriMo page had a nifty spreadsheet that I liked looking at that told you how many days it would take you to finish at the pace you were currently writing. However, they took it down so I can no longer be taunted by it. The last time I checked, it was at something like 81 days. I'm still trying to catch up, but I'm not too far behind anymore. Only like 5,000 words.




Have a blog to waste the rest of your Tuesday.




I don't really know what the point is of this site, other than to make fun of photo's and apparently promote their burger joint.  But it's funny and a good way to waste the afternoon. This is one of my favorites.
