From the Diary of Inmate #23981

  • Dec. 18th, 2009 at 12:40 PM

Tuesday:  Almost had him.  Caught a fleeting glimpse of his tail, but the slippery devil vanished again before I could grab it.  But I’m close now — I can sense when he’s near.  And I will wait for him, watch for him, as long as it takes — until I can confront my keepers with the truth:  There is someone else in this cell with me.

I see why you named him Special Ed, Dolly W.

LOST on Tumblr!

  • Dec. 3rd, 2009 at 6:29 PM
Hey everyone, my name is Crit! If you're reading this, that means you already know about the best LOST community on Livejournal, and I'm here to let you all know that if you happen to have a Tumblr, there's a great place on there for LOST as well that I co-run!

It's called Fuck Yeah LOST!.

There's usually about a post per day of LOST-related goodies. I kept up with the (damoncarltonandapolarbear.com) poster series that has gone on this off season that will conclude soon, I recently posted some bonus stuff from the Season 5 DVD that comes out Tuesday, and I even made a list of its prices at various online retailers for those who hadn't purchased it yet. There's been a lot of fun stuff posted in between all of that, and there's a link to our Formspring on the site for our great users to submit things to us!

If you're on Tumblr, come join the 1900+ other Tumblrers who follow us!

Thanks!
Crit

Lost University Code?

  • Dec. 12th, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Does anyone have the Lost University login that came with the Blu Ray and isn't planning on playing? I have a DVD player, that's it, and no money to get a Blu Ray. I have been waiting to play LU and was devastated to find it wasn't available to me. If anyone has a code and would like to give it to someone who'd definitely appreciate it, I would love you!

some photos from filming...

  • Dec. 17th, 2009 at 11:11 PM
I have been hanging out in Oahu the past few days and decided to spend sometime exploring some of the "lost sites" this afternoon. I started at an airfield in the north (I was skydiving) where I heard that they store the fuselage. I asked the woman at the skydiving office for directions and she gave them to me. She also mentioned that they were filming Lost today, about 10 minutes away. I got pretty excited about this.

30 minutes later I was at the filming location and was really glad I went. There was a major character doing a scene (many retakes) and afterward the character came over to the small group of onlookers and spoke with us, shook hands, took photos etc....

I finished off the day by locating the cockpit to the plane on the other end of Oahu.

The photos (11), which have all sorts of potential spoilers )

Do you think honesty is really the best policy when it comes to relationships? Is total honesty possible, let alone desirable?

This is interesting.
See a few months ago I lied to a friend about something relationship based. See years ago something went down between the two of us and there was intense dramaz as a result and I don't know..she blocked it out or something. Not wanting to revisit that whole drama llama I just told her that said event was with someone else, thus offsetting the entire timeline by 3 years, so she knows I lied.
The moral of the story, if there's no good to come of the truth and you suck at lying. Shut up and use the "it's personal" excuse.

In other news..I'm hungry.

I'm not dead.

  • Dec. 17th, 2009 at 11:41 AM
I know this may come as a shock to you, but I'm not dead.

Here are the Cauldy Notes (screw Cliff):

I have a boyfriend. I really didn't think it would happen -- and to be honest, I'm still not totally sure how it happened -- but I have a sweet, caring, gorgeous boyfriend. We've been together for three months now, and we've spent every single weekend together. We're also planning on going to Tucson together in February (why Tucson? It's warm, cheap, and doesn't require international travel).

I have dolls. I still have the twins, Corensa and Cosmina (the CH Sp. Prayer Choas), as well as Bethesda (PW Goldie), McGee (technically "Tits McGee," Volks DDdy Sasara), the-one-who-will-not-be-named (Rosette Fir), and the-one-I-never-bothered-to-name (Felix Brownie). I also just managed to win two Volks SD16G Kiras.

Before I write to Volks asking them to cancel the second one, is anyone here interested?

I'll only charge true costs -- the doll, shipping from Volks to me, shipping from me to you, and any paypal fees. No profit for me. Layaway is OK, too (with a non-refundable deposit).


I still have my job at the publisher. My insane boss finally gave birth to her baby and is gone on maternity leave, and I actually like my job again. I'm pretty much dreading her return, but I'm hoping I can pull some strings and maybe arrange it so that I'm not reporting to her when she returns.

I moved into my new apartment, which I share with a sane, quiet, responsible female roommate. We each have our own bathroom. The kitchen is open and airy. Our neighbors are quiet. We have a huge storage unit. I have a walk-in closet. It's my personal version of heaven.

...I think that's about it, really. Happy Holidays!

For those interested, here's where I am with the phoenix.

First sketch:



And here's where I am now, wonky tail and all:



I would put it at about halfway done as of now. I still need to fix the tail, and add a few fine details and colors. Which, if you've seen my stuff, you know the colors are where I tend to go berserk. :p

According to the Daily Mail:

Seven months ago Sisso damaged his right wing and although he has been gradually nursed back to health he is unable to fly. Before the harness came along all he could do was flap aimlessly on the ground.

See another sweet pic and read more over at the Daily Mail. Kudos to Cuteporter Jamie R. for this one.

Christmas is going to be a nightmare, no doubt about it.

El Husbando has committed to the idea that, come hell or holy war, we're going back to visit our families. This involves two five hour drives with two cats who are barely tolerating each other as it is (Tussling for territory is going strong - sometimes they squeak during the fight but they're still unharmed. I don't know.), two to three nights on an air mattress in my mother in law's house that I expect will last one with Captains Sharptoes and Needleteeth and their Forever War over here, and absolutely no rest for anyone until I get my unsociable ass back home.

His side of the family doesn't drink either. I AM SO FUCKING DOOMED, YOU GUYS.

Have been trying to extract a promise that everyone gets three months notice at least next year - everyone can come visit US. I am not cool with being the side of the family that always has to pack up and motorcade at any given holiday, and the excuse that other people have trouble getting their shit together to do it themselves cuts nothing with me. If I can do it with a directionless, loveable butthead and two cats, THEY CAN.

Meanwhile, I think I'm finally getting somewhere on the fic again, and have been compiling together a directory/tech document on the fic journal just for shitsies. Also, I like my synths and it's helping me build a real outline for them. I expect I'll need them elsewhere someday.

Lack of updates

  • Dec. 16th, 2009 at 10:08 AM
Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm trying to crank out as many Jayne hats and kits as I can before Christmas, which means I'm knitting in the morning instead of posting.

In the meantime... SQUIRREL!

vegan mouse

  • Dec. 16th, 2009 at 6:28 PM
Wow, week 6 of the challenge already??

This week we're cooking from The Vegan Mouse blog. Owner of the blog, Kim aka KMouse is a crafty girl, with a wonderful etsy shop full of shiny things, and takes the most delicious-looking food photos for her blog. Let's hope we can do her Easy Berry Cobbler justice, shall we?

Well, she wasn't kidding. This was possibly the easiest baked dessert I've ever come across. Just a matter of melting butter in a baking dish, mixing a few wet and dry ingredients and topping the dish with a three cups of thawed mixed berries. Bake, cool and serve. I loved this cobbler - as usual I used spelt flour and again it served me well. The berries were a combination of tart red currants, juicy blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. A fantastic stand alone dessert, but maybe next time we'll venture into home made ice-cream or cashew cream.

See for yourself.

This Just In: Coctopus

  • Dec. 16th, 2009 at 2:07 AM

Well, here’s something you don’t see everyday. Our friends over at National Geographic report that octopuses have been discovered tip-toeing with coconut-shell halves suctioned to their undersides, then reassembling the halves and disappearing inside for protection.

Pretty amazing stuff.

Check out the full story here.

Thanks, Marilyn T.
