Eternal…. Literally is all shiny

Eternal…. Literally is all shiny and new. I’m moving right away from black backgrounds now. Well, not totally, but for most things. I put my other ‘official’ pics from the weekend up at Con Woman, too. Haven’t got my own pics developed yet, and I don’t know how well they’ll come out. Well, I’ll just … Continue reading “Eternal….

Eternal…. Literally is all shiny and new. I’m moving right away from black backgrounds now. Well, not totally, but for most things.

I put my other ‘official’ pics from the weekend up at Con Woman, too. Haven’t got my own pics developed yet, and I don’t know how well they’ll come out. Well, I’ll just have to wait and see.

I think I’m off to London tomorrow. I hope I am. But I need a lift – can’t afford another train fare. We got tickets for the Four Star Mary tomorrow night, and James Marsters is supposed to be appearing with them at some point. So it’s down a day early, and crashing on Luna and Noxy’s hotel room floor for the night. Though since I don’t know yet if I ever got a room sorted out for Nocturnal, it could be that I’ll be doing that all weekend. Which would save me a nice chunk of money.

Right then, gotta pack. Meep.

Haven’t finished EL yet, but

Haven’t finished EL yet, but I’m making progress. Which is good. May well get it all done and uploaded when I get home from work tonight. Here’s hoping. Looks like I might end up with a project which is bigger than I originally expected. See, Barry wants to do a website for the character of … Continue reading “Haven’t finished EL yet, but”

Looks like I might end up with a project which is bigger than I originally expected. See, Barry wants to do a website for the character of Nina, played by Rachel Grant, who is the Sci Fright presenter on the Sci-fi channel. Not wanting to tread on anyone’s toes, he’s been trying to get in touch with various people, including the actress herself – who has been very helpful and friendly. Then yesterday, he got an email from the Sci-fi channel, who think it’s a good idea and want to talk to him further about it! Which is extremely cool, but causes me to feel slightly panicked – I’m the one who’ll be doing the design (from his basic plan), coding, graphics, etc since B hasn’t even attempted a website before. I need to get him to learn html so he can at least do the content and then update without me having to code it all up after he’s written it. Meep!

I’m getting the feeling that these odd search results are propogating themselves. Today I have:
sock pics
ftp btvs
pic. of enchilada.com
pvc trousers uk
holey toe and heel socks

I am going to finish

I am going to finish re-doing Eternal… Literally today. I am, I am, I am. Maybe. *g* No, really, I must. It’s so nearly done. And then I can get cracking on S&S. Yay! Oh yeah, and I should update Conwoman with the new details for Wolverhampton and Glasgow. Must remember to do that. Um. … Continue reading “I am going to finish”

Oh yeah, and I should update Conwoman with the new details for Wolverhampton and Glasgow. Must remember to do that. Um.

I’m bored.

Have had a whole shitload

Have had a whole shitload more search results for Emily (not putting her full stage name this time, cos it’s clearly just encouraging people *g*), some more for enchilada and one for size 4 feet pics. Which I have. The foot size, I mean. And I spose that this could count as a pic of … Continue reading “Have had a whole shitload”

Was going to say something else. No idea what now. Oh well.

*sigh* ARSE! Umm. Calm now.

*sigh* ARSE! Umm. Calm now. Found out last night that the James Marsters events in Wolverhampton and Glasgow, that I’m going to this coming weekend, are going to be, well, James Marsters-less. A TV show he’s filming changed it’s schedule, and now he can’t make it. It’s good that he’s working, but it’s a total … Continue reading “*sigh* ARSE! Umm. Calm now.”

ARSE!

Umm. Calm now. Found out last night that the James Marsters events in Wolverhampton and Glasgow, that I’m going to this coming weekend, are going to be, well, James Marsters-less. A TV show he’s filming changed it’s schedule, and now he can’t make it. It’s good that he’s working, but it’s a total bummer that he’ll be missing these extra appearances. I’m disappointed, and I’ll be seeing him at Nocturnal the week after (which so far, he’s still going to). Just think of all the people who’re going to this because they missed out on N3K tickets, but really wanted to see him. :-( He’s going to do mini-events another time, so hopefully a lot of people will get to go to those. It’s well cool of him to make the effort to do that, I think.

I know, I’m silly to be all disappointed…. but I wouldn’t actually be going to this event if it hadn’t been a James Marsters one. Part of me is bewailing the money. But I’m still glad I’m going (cos they aren’t cancelled!) because Amber Benson, Robin Atkin Downes, and now J August Richards (Gunn from Angel) are still going to be there. So it’ll still be a great weekend. Just not quite the one I’d intended….. *g*

I feel really short today. It’s because I’m wearing my DMs, instead of the boots I normally wear (4 inch soles / 6 inch heels). It feels very odd. I’m wearing the DMs cos I had a refresher driving lesson today in preparation for driving around the country this coming weekend. Went on the motorway – great fun! And the instructor reckoned I’m just fine even though I haven’t driven for a year or two, which is good. 1000-mile-weekend-trek, here I come!

There’s something odd going on

There’s something odd going on in the bathroom. Yesterday morning I dyed my hair red (it only really shows up on the roots, cos of the fading black-now-more-brown dye). Washed off the dye, like you should. Rinsed out the bath. And yet, every time I’ve gone into the bathroom since, there has been bright red … Continue reading “There’s something odd going on”

Washed off the dye, like you should. Rinsed out the bath. And yet, every time I’ve gone into the bathroom since, there has been bright red hair-dye in the bath! I rinse it away, leave, next time I go back, there’s more! What’s going on? Where is it coming from?!?!?! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh……………….

I wonder, are there any

I wonder, are there any *small* cats around here, apart from Willow, and Bunty next door? There is currently a monster ginger tom prowling around at the bottom of the garden, and the majority of the other cats I see are pretty damn big too. Maybe it’s the country air. ‘Praps that’s where Worf has … Continue reading “I wonder, are there any”

Maybe it’s the country air. ‘Praps that’s where Worf has gone – to lord it over a colony of other outsize moggies……. And OMG, the tom just turned to look this way….. he has a ghost face! That’s scary. He’s ginger all over, except his face, which is off-white. Wow.

Ummm. The Buffy and Angel

Ummm. The Buffy and Angel season finales are on tonight. And I’ve just been thinking, that considering those shows are just about the only thing I watch on TV (the only ones I watch regularly week-in-week-out at least), and that the majority of my websites are based around them, I don’t talk about ’em that … Continue reading “Ummm.

Ummm. The Buffy and Angel season finales are on tonight. And I’ve just been thinking, that considering those shows are just about the only thing I watch on TV (the only ones I watch regularly week-in-week-out at least), and that the majority of my websites are based around them, I don’t talk about ’em that much here. Apart from the sites, I spose. I don’t talk about the eps I’ve seen, or anything like that. Maybe it doesn’t seem strange to anyone who’s not me, but thing is, I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Buffy. And I mean, here, writing this journal, living where I live, doing the job I do. No, scratch the probably – I definitely wouldn’t be. If I hadn’t got into Buffy, I don’t know that I’d have had the creative impetuous to do more than the basic simple website that Dark Angel’s Tower was, I don’t think I’d’ve started writing again, I never would have had the fun that is writing fanfic. I never would have moved up to Yorkshire, because I wouldn’t know my Barry, or Megs, or any of the fantastic people I’ve met through this whole Buffy / internet thing. In fact, if I think about it, I wouldn’t have known Char, and I never would have spoken more than two words to Russ at work…. in which case they most likely wouldn’t have both joined the mailing list where they met, and instead of being married and having a baby, they’d still be on opposite sides of the planet. And my god, that paragraph got long and involved. LOL.

I added a few more links today, to GB, and also to Sam, Lar, and Kassie, who I know of (though don’t know well (unfortunately, cos they’re cool people)) through the Buffy fandom. And I spose reading their blogs also partially sparked off the above train of thought. Though I think I’ve been way luckier than them. Probably it’s because my sites and fics are so-so, rather than remarkably good or bad, but I’ve never had any of the hassle that they seem to get. But it’s extremely shitty that the hassle happens. Live and let live, damnit!

Just took this IQ test. Scored 147. Go me, I’m a genius. *snort*
