Changes aren't always for the better
May. 14th, 2005 02:36 pmLiveJournal have disabled logging in as a community, and there's no way to switch user when using http://www.livejournal.com/admin/console. So rather than pasting in one text file of commands to change the URLs for the moodtheme of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
lukelovers, I have to use http://www.livejournal.com/manage/moodthemes.bml, and paste in the URL 132 times. And the stupid thing doesn't work half time and wants to inherit moods from others and won't save changes.
Grrrr.

6 RotS icons.
( RotS spoilers )
I thought that the text on the first three was singularly appropriate.
Comment, credit is nice but not necessary, not hotlinking.

May. 13th, 2005 08:38 pmEvery Thursday my local cinema sends out the film listings for the next week.

Also, I got a free bus ticket this morning because the machine to make the tickets wasn't working. It was amusing to watch everyone's reactions to the driver's "Free bus today!"

And I finally talk about Star Wars
May. 12th, 2005 09:26 pmI can hardly believe it's one week till RotS. I was sorely tempted by the novelisation in Eason's today, especially as the cover sticker said, 'Get a FREE Star Wars paperback with this book!' but when I checked the small print and found it was a free NJO book, the attraction waned somewhat. I did just peep a little, though.Only the first couple of pages.
Shopping list for my cinematic viewing of RotS:
Blanket. Use: Hiding behind in the scary bits.
Grow out my fingernails. Use: Chew off in the tense bits, ie the Duel
Tissues, extra strong, lots of. Use: self-evident
Gag. Use: To stop me from screaming 'NOOOOOOO!' or 'ANAKIN, YOU MORON!!' at the psychological moments.Or, indeed, 'Growl, Jedi, growl!'
Anakin plushie. Use: weeping into as I leave the cinema. Do you think that they'd market them with a growling soundbox? Hey, a fangirl can dream...
I left a couple of pages of my fanfic that I'd been proofing in work today. On an embarrassment level that has the potential of leaving fanart lying around when the minister comes to visit, although he wouldn't know Natalie Portman as Padme Amidala if she came up and introduced herself. Worse still, I buried the electricity bill somewhere among it, so if the fic goes in the bin it does too.
( I am 45% normal. Meme gakked from sollersuk )
Hey, I'm less weird than I thought!

Or in other words, my journal has been All About The Who for the last month or so. :) Apologies to most of my flist, who are Star Wars and Potter fans. I will return to SW with a bang (or, more probably, a scream) when RotS is released (in one week!! Eeeeee!!) and HP when HBP comes out. Besides we're about halfway through Doctor Who already *weeps*.
I just love this programme. The Doctor/Rose interaction, the throwaway lines like( Very minor spoilers )
And I love the way that half the country are fans. You hear people talking about it on the bus. It's always being mentioned on the radio. The TV announcer knows that the proper place to watch it is from behind the sofa. My parents can hum the theme. We even had political broadcasts in the runup to the General Election that were referring to it and had the theme playing in the background. I have a fandom that is respectable!

ISTP? No way! INTP 1st and INFP 2d makes a lot of sense, though.

Doctor Who fic
May. 4th, 2005 10:08 pmYou know, it's really hard to write stuff in a fandom where the canon gets superseded each week. Untitled short fic, set just after Adam steps inside the TARDIS. Unrequited shipiness in various directions, the Doctor is still ambiguous so no one will bite me, I'm not entirely happy with it and doyle_sb4 has already written this setting about ten times better than I did, curse her :-P
( Written after 'Dalek'. Nine, Rose and Adam. No sex, don't worry. )

Am I a Republican?
Apr. 30th, 2005 04:38 pmGakked from ladyelaine, despite the fact there are no Republicans in Northern Ireland (well, not that sort! Republican=IRA and supporters). We're having elections in a week or two. So many political broadcasts for BRITISH PARTIES THAT DON'T EVEN STAND OVER HERE!!
Are You A Republican?
What is a 'soccer Mom', anyway??
And fromhymnia
No, the comma goes outside the quotation marks when they're surrounding the name of a song.

Apr. 29th, 2005 06:51 pmJust edited my flist to, as it happened, the mystical number of 87. Nothing personal, just not enough time. I used the poll I posted a few entries back to give me an idea of who was reading this journal. Sorry!
This picture here must be the cutest picture of Anakin ever. His smirk kills me DED.
( Spoilers for World War Three )
This is the easiest poll in the world. ETA: I removed my whining.
Also,elerrina_amanya? You owe me £8.31.

Apr. 22nd, 2005 10:01 pmI made vanilla cake for David to eat, but as I used brown sugar it looks more like coffee cake, particularly the icing. Oh well. Anything to put a bit of weight back on him.
The new pope is called Benedict. I find this disturbing, as that was what our intruder was called in Renwick House. Gillian thought of it.

See my cake!Dalek icon! I started to tell my mum about the Blue Peter cake!Dalek, and she, well, squeeed and said, 'I remember that one!'
So this is not a totally pointless post, here you have the easiest poll in the world:
[Poll #479287]
I want to see who reads my journal.
