It's Not Easy Being Green

I love late-night shopping at supermarkets, you can actually buy what you want quickly.

I'm working on a pilot for my show. So far I have three scenes of it done and about 6 or 7 other scenes throughout all the seasons written. I can't seem to start a scene, though. I can only figure out the middle of them. Same goes for episodes.

It's official: Peter Jackson to direct The Hobbit. If they get it moving in time. YAY.

Pretty multi-fandom icons. Also, whomever @ fantastipink makes gorgeous icons.

Performance of a song from Dollhouse. Does anyone have the original for download please?

zombres cast Weird, USA, her epic story that she started for NaNo last year and is continuing this year. I love it and highly recommend following i_sing_anyway for when she starts writing again, and that's not at all only because I suggested she cast Brit Morgan. Also, there's icons.

Does anyone know where I can get a nice desktop background for Deathly Hallows?

I've been playing mafia over at jjverse and scifiland, and I play as Gaila at both. It's doing a number on my head, I find it hard not to flirt in comments now.

Oscars thoughts:
- Zoe Saldana, Amanda Seyfried, Carey Mulligan, Chris Pine are so pretty.
- MORE NPH. LESS MARTIN/BALDWIN.
- Yay, Kathryn Bigelow! Girl power.
- YAY AVATAR DIDN'T WIN.
- Best speeches: Sandra Bullock adn the costume designer.
- Trek won something! They should've shown Gaila.
- John Hughes montage was awesome.
- I wish it could be a public holiday on Oscar day every year.



So I went to a con yesterday and it was awesome. Stargate and Farscape, so a bunch of people I didn't know along with Ben Browder, Claudia Black and Gigi Edgley from Farscape and HOLY CRAP MACGYVER, FOR REAL. Not so awesome was the flat tire I got driving from Canberra to Sydney in the rain on Friday night :( I missed most of the party, but I met Claudia, who was lovely and is just beautiful. She was very nice. Didn't meet anyone else that night, then I showed up the next day and sort of bounced around the venue hanging out with people. Photos were up first and I met MACGYVER, HOLY CRAP, so that was awesome. He and Ben were both quite touchy-feely, they both put their arm around everyone as soon as they can in for the photo. Both really nice, too :)

The talks were good, the best one I went to (didn't go to two, because I felt disingenuous not knowing the guests) was actually Chris Judge and Dan Shea, who I really only barely knew. They did a shirtless knuckle push-up contest. Some bonehead questions from the audience, one from me for RDA. Claudia signed a photo for baldie_troll for his birthday, which was lovely (I looked like a moron when I was trying to buy him a damn present, because there was all this great stuff and I was texting him messages with picture of it and he was like "I don't want that. Are there Vala action figures?") I didn't have very interesting conversations with anyone, but my photos and autographs rock.

I drove back for baldie_troll's birthday, so by that night I was exhausted, and then I got a virus at midnight last night and my internet is slow and I had to download a bunch of stuff to get rid of it and didn't sleep until like 4:30. I'm soooo tired now. I got him an autograph from Claudia that said "birthday wishes" and a Vala doll.



Same-sex marriage now legal in DC.

What?

Keep calm...

T-Shirts: Admiral Ackbar,

'Iron Man 2' trailer.

I watched the premiere of 'V' last night. It was ok. I don't know, it doesn't really feel new or exciting, and everybody but Anna feels like a character I've seen before. Anyone who didn't see the Alan twist coming must have failed TV Logic 101.

I have a Tumblr. Are you happy now, dekolette and truffle_shuffle? Now what am I supposed to do with it?

Those crazy Glee kids at the PCAs. ILU AMBER. Look at her face! I love those guys, they're adorable.. Video of them winning, and Grunberg presenting, so that's awesome. Chris! That pizza thing was stupid.

People's Choice Awards winners, proving that the people should rarely choose. I like 8 of the winners. I hate Twilight.

Let's make the Gay People's Choice Awards better. They usually have better taste anyway. Check out their gay man of the decade!

Wait, Paddywhack and Genevieve Cortese were seeing each other? Since when? They're ENGAGED?

Dichen and Enver talk about Joss & Fox and Neighbours. Apparently Dichen has a boyfriend who isn't Enver, which is....interesting. A little disappointing. Weird. Then a lot of comments about how Fox fucked up.

Joss Whedon is our master now. The article is cute, but dude, Gina, Nathan and Adam were on Firefly first. Silly girl.

'Chuck': A word from Captain Awesome. AND THAT WORD IS AWESOME. Faaaaavourite. Also, this interview with Brandon Routh reminds me of interviews of Chris Lowell when he joined Veronica Mars. Don't hate the character, people. Hate the contrivance.

How Degazing Saved 'The Big Bang Theory'. Um, word.

Go read zombres's awesome 'Sherlock Holmes' review to see why you should watch it.

BEST FANMIX EVER: IN CASE OF PON FARR: HIT IT. BAHAHA. I am still in awe of the fact that Pon Farr is a real, canon thing.

Where Trekkies were born. Almost makes me wish I could go back.

Chris Pine will play Jack Ryan. I'll watch it, but I don't care all that much. I am impressed that he is now playing the same roles as both William Shatner AND Harrison Ford, though.

Nathan Fillion interview.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog picspam of awesome.

Fairy tale 'Dollhouse' promo on WhyIWatch.

Fran Kranz interview. Adorable.

Is real science catching up to Topher? New Scientist reports that a Laser has been used to create false memories in fly brains.

How "Apple" became "Drizzle". DRIZZLE!

Tricia Helfer will guest on 'Two and a Half Men'. Ugh.

Empire's 100 Sexiest Movie Stars. Chrises Pine and Evans need to be MUCH higher. The Twilight cast needs to be banned from all lists from now on (and I LIKE RPattz.) The fact that Jensen even rates when he's not remotely a movie star is awesome (he SHOULD be a movie star, he's one of the most talented actors currently working on TV.) Gael & Jake & Paul Newman ♥ James Dean needs to break top 10, man. HOW can Megan Fox beat out Angelina Jolie? How is Emma Watson #3? HOW IS HARRISON FORD ONLY #33?? Go Zoe Saldana, though. MARILYN MONROE AT 15? Travesty. Not even the top 10.
...actually, a lot of TV stars in there - Kristen and Eliza (♥), too.

Rise of the Zombies T-Shirt. LMAO.

National Organisation for Marriage's campaign against same-sex marriage (NOM? Really? Cuz that just makes me want food) and the hilarious and accurate Funny Or Die response starring pretty much everyone we like or care about.

For the SAVE DOLLHOUSE campaign, here is how what you watch counts towards the numbers. Read it properly.

Interview with Enver & Dichen. Enver geeking out over Michael Hogan is awesome. I can't wait to see more Victor this week. Also, anyone else get the feeling there might be something going on between those two?

Should 'Dollhouse' be sent to the attic? and the Whedonesque comments. I get a strong sense of narrative from the show, but I already made a comment at the other site and harping on about it just depresses me.

So, Chris ended up seeing the shipper vid :D

I have been misled: Cory Monteith is older than me. Suddenly I'm having all kinds of interesting ideas.

This video by an Australian mum calling out Rudd on his stance on gay marriage was Twitlinked (is that a word?) by Stephen Fry.

ETA: Y'know that grammar website I linked in the last post? You can answer grammar questions on FreeRice.com! AWESOMESAUCE.
Some of their definitions of words are decidedly shady, though.

More gifs from the Star Trek DVD rip, with two more posts to come AND A NEW GAILA GIF YAY!

Icons: LotR & Glee, multi-fandom with STAR TREK!, Glee, multi-fandom including Dollhouse and Glee, Glee & Star Trek: it's like the obsessions of the year summed up in one icon post.

GO VOTE in this HBIC poll. I'm glad Zoe's doing so well, but sad that Veronica is losing and the only person I would never vote for is winning by a landslide. What is that?!

Is "NCIS"'s Pauley Perrette the coolest straight person ever? I don't know, she let them make her spout some pretty closed-minded shit in that episode of NCIS with the transsexual in it. She's always seemed pretty awesome, but there's still that. And there's some...she says she supports the separation of church and state, but also implies in one of her statements that going to church can be equated with good morals.

US singer Chris Brown has been sentenced to 180 days' community labour and five years' probation for assaulting pop star Rihanna. He attacked her because she's a woman and he terrorised her and he doesn't have to jail. And she got back together with him. UGH.

2009 Portal Awards winners. Best Actress: WHAT? WHAT?!? Mary McDonnell should've OWNED it. And it appears I am mostly alone in not loving Monster at the End of This Book. Yay for Star Trek, though!

TWOP photo galleries: Familiar Faces in New Roles and Watch, DVR or Skip. I went through these at baldie_troll's place last night - there's some more fun links down the side there, but there's a bit of repetition of opinions.

The Best Fall Gay TV Guide Ever! GLEE. I LOVE GLEE. I didn't know Jane Lynch was out. (Or Kevin Williamson, for that matter.) OR THAT VICTOR GARBER WAS GOING TO BE ON IT. WHAT? Also, can we not have anymore Wincest jokes, please?

Speaking of Glee: Cory in Philly (I kind of love him), new promo, the whole Q&A in Houston, Lea Michele in NY Mag, promo with SYTYCD. I loooove that they're pairing those shows up.
ETA: KEVIN MCHALE WAS IN A BOY BAND.

Dollhouse Season Two Is All About "Murder and Sex". Loads of teasing spoilers, but my favourite is this, from (of course) Fran:

They start right in with some crazy stuff. Tim Minear has crazy stuff in store. And Jed [Whedon] and Maurissa [Tancharoen]'s episodes are out of this world.

Given the way Epitaph One turned out that doesn't surprise me AT ALL. I can't see the videos, though.

Patton Oswalt interview - he talks Caprica and Dollhouse:

[The networks] have got plenty of Law And Orders and CSIs, so why not use those to finance stuff like Reaper or Dollhouse, where the people who watch shows on DVD or iTunes can just gobble up the whole giant Dostoyevsky novel that it’s trying to be? Have some balance, for God’s sake.

He goes into detail on Joss's style of work and Buffy plots, so he's obviously a genuine fan. And he goes on about how TV is generally better than movies right now and generally makes me go "You tell 'em, Patton" a lot.

Eliza interview.

Major Twist in Buffy Season 8 #28 (Spoiler Free)! and Whedonesque theories of what it could be.

Old Christian Kane interview. I looove him. And when he sings I love him even more.

Chucked-up Supernatural credits. WIN. I love all the detail.

Dr. McKay's Sing-Along Blog trailer. LOL.

Making of the Goonies video that's been doing the rounds. I'm pretty sure I've seen it before, but whatever, it's THE GOONIES.

Icons: Jossverse, mostly Supernatural, multi-fandom including Jason Mraz (my sister FLIPPED OUT when he was on Spicks & Specks tonight. I want a recording of that whole Substitute section. Best voices ever.)

1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.

zombres asked me ( REALLY HARD QUESTIONS, OK )

James Marsters will do a Caprica run, Gina Torres will be on Gossip Girl.

Jed and Maurissa interviewed about (Do You Want To Date My) Avatar. THEY ARE SO ADORABLE.


Seeee?

What's next for 'Dollhouse'?, Olivia Williams talks Season 2, and for community members who might've missed it there's a GORGEOUS post of Dichen pictures over at blank_dolls. I think there's a lot of pictures of the cast out there we seem to be missing out on.

SF’s 26 Greatest Tearjerkers. For some I went OMG YES!, not so much for others. Mine, fyi, is 'I can carry you' from Return of the King. Kills me.

So today I investigated gay superheroes. I found these links, which I thought might be of interest:
Claire to have “girlie fun” in Heroes?
Character's creator wants to "undo" the character's gay storyline, as written by someone else. Less interesting for the post than for the brilliant bitchfest in the comments, wherein most people point out how homophobic Liefeld is being while he talks himself into a hole.

Icons: Multifandom, mostly BtVS and Supernatural.
