Only a year and a half...
Yeah, been ages since I've been here as my fannishness has been confined to Twitter. Just nothing enthralled me, fannish-wise, till I found Project Blue Book (on History Channel) this year. Actually penned one piece of fiction, which is at https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13429989/1/Road-Trip as well as https://archiveofourown.org/works/21396175. Gotta ( Read more... ) -
Expletive deleted Photobucket
If you see NO pictures on my LJ, it's because those bastards (too kind a word) at Photobucket are now holding photos hostage unless you upgrade to a pricier package, starting at 'cheap' fee of $60 a year or $400 if you want more. It's insane. I have HUNDREDS of photos on this LJ. This sooooo sucks. It's given me a headache so not sure what I'll do ( Read more... ) -
I did it
Finally backed up my LJ to Dreamwidth due to the Russian nonsense going on. Looks like posts and comments went over, but to read them all looks like it requires a LOT of hitting the Previous entries button. Is there a calendar feature like on LJ? Hmm, I see a learning curve here. Darn.
Meanwhile, I'm over at https://wraithfodder.dreamwidth.org/ ( Read more... ) -
So, backing up LJ
Was on Twitter when I tripped over posts such as http://www.metafilter.com/164293/LiveJournal-represents-social-media-without-borders talking about US/Russian stuff and Live Journal ( Read more... ) -
Good riddance, 2016
Have to say watching the news these days is awful. I won't get into the political stuff with the presidency, but four years can't pass too quickly for me!
However, first George Michael, then Carrie Fisher? ARGH!! I hate to say it, but when a rock star dies young, it sometimes is not too shocking but 53 is far too young these days. I enjoyed his ( Read more... ) -
And.. the Christmas tree is up!
All 18 or 24" of it. I go tiny as well, it's been ages since we had a big tree, and now, well, I want the perfect white Christmas tree. I saw one, but at $300, I balked (I'm more like, oh, hey, $8 at Target, yes!). I have four little ones set up around the house now. And it sorta washed out as I used flash on white which mucked up the meter and I ( Read more... ) -
Candle Cove: Channel Zero & Star Wars
Did anybody else watch this SyFy series? I was very happy to see that this segment/series was actually limited run. They'll do another one Candle Cover: ______ I guess next year. This one was sufficiently creepy but not overdone in the horror/gore/ripping off limbs like Walking Dead department. Slow pacing, like the old days. Likeable cast, ( Read more... ) -
And the state of TV is..
No new shows that scream "watch me". I'd say the closest, which I really hope to heck is a limited run x-amount of episodes, done, finished, etc. is "Channel Zero - Candle Cove". Sufficiently creepy, good actors and no whining teenagers. Alas, I'm tired of them, which is why I turned off "Aftermath" as I just don't have time to waste about angsty ( Read more... ) -
Godzilla!
Found out about Shin Godzilla (or Godzilla: Resurgence as it's been termed in the US) being out for a mere two weeks, if that, from a friend on Twitter. Had to wait till it got closer to find out if one of the 400 theaters showing it was within driving distance, and it was! So my friend and I ordered tix through Fandago (costs a little more) ( Read more... ) -
New York Comic Con 2016
This year, we managed to get Friday and Saturday tickets. Kept trying for 3-day or 4-day but it was impossible to obtain, so.... at least this year, no train breakdowns or disasters that ate up travel time. I'd leave house at 5:30am and get back at 10:30pm and then repeated it the next day. Don't know if I could have done that for a third day. Most ( Read more... )
