This is problem with living in England the good shows are cancelled before you've seen episode 2.

It's taken me a whole series of on/off watching to get into moonlight, and just as I realise I'm hooked you tell me its the last ever episode?

*is not happy*

Maybe I should take advantage of having to wait so long for shows to wash up on my shores, dig a little deeper and I'll know if they've been cancelled already. Still despite all logic i'm still watching Deifying gravity even though I knew from episode 2 that it was doomed.

Stormy night

Should I worry?

Any advice my friends? Should I be worried? I live in a shared house, someone I live with has swine flu they also don't know know to clean up after themselves.

I don't know what to do. I have flu like symptoms but I'm convinced its just a regular cold, I've had it for weeks I did have a fever but it's long gone, I don't feel that sick. I don't want to infect anyone with swine flu but I can't afford not to work. If I miss even one day of work not only will I lose the pay I will lose my entire Christmas bonus. Anybody got any advise?

Harper

Writer's Block: Seeing stars

Which character from any film, television show, or book would you most like to take on a date and why?

Submitted By [info]blue_mariposa88


View 2275 Answers


It should come as no surprise to most of you that the fictional character I'd most like to take out on a date is the 10th Doctor. Why? Because he's dam sexy as I'm sure you'll all agree, even his nervous ticks like rubbing his neck are endearing, and you know he'll be faithful and always look out for you. What more could a girl want.?All of time and space? You can have that too!

If the 10th Doctor is unavailable than I'll happy except Seamus Harper from Andromeda, cute, smart , funny and loyal friend, he's a keeper as they say.

The weeks TV roundup minus spoilers.

I think I'm all caught up on my fandoms now

House was undoubtedly the best I loved it. Greys Anatomy was actually slightly disappointing it wasn't bad, but for a two hour première I was expecting more, but it was bordering on slow and dull. Maybe it peeked too soon on the last season ender, that couldn't have gotten much better.

The big bang theory was good too, not excellent, just good, but this show consistently maintains the quality of its episodes, it never peeks or falls it just maintains a constant average of good quality fun and I like that.

Castle I am slightly behind on I've seen half of the season 2 premier, it was ok. I'm not in hurry to catch the rest, but I will.

Flashfoward. I was convinced this was going to be my new obsession, but after actually seeing it, I think not. Don't get me wrong I thought it was very good, and will totally watch every episode, but I don't see me falling in love with it like Andromeda, or Doctor Who.


Bones is under the cut because it borders on spolierish but not by much )

Hereos and Lost I have officially given up on. I never even finished the last season on either series. If someone wants to tell me that I'm wrong and should give either, or both of these another chance please speak up now.

Writer's Block: Most inspiring teacher

Who is the most inspiring teacher you ever had and why? How often do you think about what they taught you? How has it changed your life?


View 926 Answers


Mrs Ubee, she was my teacher right the way back in infant school I cant have been more than 6 then, but over two decades later I still remember her name. As I recall I wasn't that fond of her at the time, and thought she was a bit mean, but I later came to realise she was the only teacher who saw potential in me and pushed me to work harder and do better. She also didn't seam to suffer for the aliment every other teacher had assuming my poor spelling meant I couldn't read, she was I think the only teacher who put me on the highest reading level, so I didn't have to read dumb level one books at school, when I was reading my dads books at home.

Maybe if my other teachers had pushed me like she did I might have done considerably better at school, but as long a I did average nobody bothered with me, my class, my whole school I think was full of underachievers (it was that kind of area) so I was pretty much ignored. You had to be smart or dumb to get attention in my school and I was neither.

I also had a teacher named Ann in university, she was also wonderful, she went home one night and wrote up a new lesson plan for us because a few people in my class were interested in learning about blood gasses, it wasn't on the curriculum and we didn't need to know it, but we were interested so she went out of her way to teach us.

My computer hates me

I've been working hard on my very first LJ mood theme I was almost half done, and I was proud of what I'd achieved so far; today I go to open the file to finish it and its GONE!

I have a folder named Andromeda mood themes where I put it, but the two sub files Rommie (the one I was working on) and unfinished have gone, completely vanished from my system their not even hiding with my deleted files in the recycle bin they have just gone.

What I do have where my folders should be is 3 killers albums that have copied themselves from my I tunes folder and these files all appear corrupt.

Three days I spent working on that mood theme, three days and all of it gone. I've set my computer to scan all my files and checked the whole drive myself, plus gone over the contents of my recycle bin three times, but my mood theme has just gone, my best guess is that the i tunes files overwrote it. I'm very upset right now.

Writer's Block: What if calories didn't count?

If a magic genie told you your calories wouldn't count for 24 hours, would it change what and how much you ate that day?


View 1264 Answers


Not in the slightest. I have always and will continue to eat what I want when I want it. I do not believe in diets, I do try to eat healthy most of the time but I'll never deny myself something I really want. When doing the weekly food shop I check to see which pizza is the healthy option and buy that and I do look at food labels and try to pick pick healthy things but if i see something and think oh that looks nice it's going in the basket.

To demonstrate last night I ate one family sized bar of milk chocolate and an obscene amount of gummy bears for desert because I wanted that more than the fat free yoghurt in my fridge.

What have you done in the past day, month, or year to protect the environment? How often do you think about sustainability issues?

I signed a petition for The Prince's Rainforests Project  the other day, and I recycle anything the council will take. I worry my new TV has no off switch so lives on standby. I checked it really doesn't have a off switch.

Also I bought a large handbag and one of those cloth bags which I keep in there to cut down on my usage of plastic bags, though I still forget to say I don't need a bag unless they ask most of the time, but I'm working on it. I'm also thinking more about what temperature I should be washing things at. That's at all I do though.

Andromeda, colours

I want to show off my new pretty things




These are all things I have brought this month (and yes that's 3 Doctor who novels at the back)
Two handbags, two dresses , 3 books and a top, Total cost <£100 (not too bad)

This is much more than I would normally buy, much more, and I had to buy work clothes on top of that. That is not my fault they approved my dresses I bought for work until they decided they were too short 1 month later, so I had to get a new ones.I've treated myself these last two months with a TV and rather expensive haircut and now this stuff but I've been an angel the rest of the year. Plus the dresses are so pretty.  The dress and handbag on the left look slightly more black than the lovely purple they actually are.

I must not buy any more new stuff now though till Christmas. I feel bad for buying this much when I have a debt collector letter next to me, but this wont cover a fraction of what I owe and when i get the nerve up to ring them I can offer them a decent amount a month to pay them back even if it takes me 4 years. Also I have paid my bills and will not starve or get in any more debt, so its really not that naughty right?

A Doctor Who fic - When words fail

Title: When Words Fail
Pairing: Rose/Ten ll
Rating: G
Notes: Inspired by [info]linnea_1  's fic More than words.


I’ve been sitting here at my Torchwood desk for over a hour now staring at a black piece of paper, but the words just won’t come, funny of all the things I thought might one day defeat me a piece of paper was never on the list. It’s not until someone clears their throat that I realises I have company “What’s wrong?” Susie asks.  “You know I’m getting married soon Susie?” I tell her,  at her nod I continue. “Well I’ve got to write my wedding vowels, but it’s impossible. How can a few words over a couple of minutes ever express the depth of my love for Rose? How could a whole life time? There just aren’t words to tell Rose how very wonderful and special she is.”

 

And the rest )

Chuck


So I have a new TV obsession Chuck. This is of course all [info]chicafrom3 's fault. I'm not exactly sure how, but its her MO. I would not watch Dollhouse or Pushing dasies if not for this woman. She raves about shows so enthusiastically that I feel I must l watch to see what's so good. Clearly she has done this about chuck but I had forgotten, this must have been what compelled me to leave the telly on and keep watching even after my show had finished.

Anyway I caught a random episode on Virgin one and loved it. Luckily the fact the it was half way though the second season failed to confuse me at all, and I picked up what was going on right away. I tuned in the next few weeks till obsession completely took over and I hit the net to catch up on all the old stuff. Except I failed to stop until I hit the last episodes way ahead of Virgin Ones run. Opps. I caught up on two entire seasons in three days my people whist working 9hr days! Thats 36 episodes in 72 hrs. I feel this is impressive. I also feel that maybe I should not be so proud of my obsessive tendencies.

I have the week off this week and the urge to make Chuck icons. Unfortunately the DVD I saw in HMV has vanished when I returned to buy it, and season two isn't even out till next month! There must be screen caps though out there somewhere and I will find them, and you will have icons!

Also someone remind me to make an 'I don't have an icon for this fandom yet icon' I can see it will come in use.

Yes that lucky Claire person that got this dedicated to her would be me if you were wondering.
I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin Sorbo back in 2004 at The Kevin Sorbo event (which was more a males of Andromeda event as Steve and Gordon were also guests)when I got this signed. I had a gold ticket for the event and got to meet Kevin at a meet and great type thing, when he came to my table which I shared with what must be the two biggest Kevin Sorbo fans in the universe. We talked about Andromeda's scheduling in the UK, he was quite impassioned about it. You could tell he genuinely cared about the show. Steve and Gordon also came to the table Steve pretend strangled me! Apparently wearing a halter neck top was a bad good idea.

Ps [info]_snitchbitch this is totally snag-able for Andromeda web if you want.
