Happy Guy Fawkes Day!!!!!


*runs to watch the movie and hope to find explosives* :)

I love me my fandoms.

So I grew up as the daughter of a Trekkie, and eventually became a fan of my own show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and in turn, all of Joss Whedon's works--Angel, Firefly/Serenity, and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Purple Pimp, heehee). And lately that has turned into Dollhouse.

I love Dollhouse for two reasons:

1. It's Joss Whedon (and the premise of it is intriguing to me as a writer)
2. 2nd season is "all the actors of Battlestar Galactica decide to make a guest appearance", and Tahmoh Penikett is a regular. Helo was always my BSG favorite.

What makes Dollhouse even better than a Joss Whedon/BSG squee? Bringing in the Trekkie-ness!

Jonathan Frankes (Riker) will be directing the next episode of Dollhouse. He directed First Contact, and of the TNG movies, that is probably my favorite.

If only Friday would be here sooner...

Save Our File

If anyone knows how to/knows of a converter that can convert a .VOB to something that Windows Movie Maker can use, it would be much a appreciated.

Dad needs it for work.

Thanks all!

Oh poor Redshirt, the security officer we knew so little, who died in order to prove just how fatal this mission to the plant's surface could be for our heroes despite the fact that they are the heroes and the audience subconsciously knows they are NOT allowed to die, at least not until the end of the season or perhaps the series finale.

Redshirt you will be missed. McCoy should have after years of kneeling next to a man, a hand on his throat, declaring, "He's dead, Jim.", noticed that there was in fact a trend, and it was the color of his shirt.

But seriously, if about one red shirt died per episode, think about the mortality rate on the Enterprise alone. Isn't that a statistic they publish? Why would any one willing join it's crew knowing that statistic? And how is it even possible for the ship to keep running when their crew was depleted so quickly?

If you have no idea who I am talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshirt_(character)

My mom has been kind and has decided to buy me one of the Starfleet shirts from the back of the cereal box. Seriously, the check is already written. And now I am torn between the gold captain's tee (which feels a bit presumptuous of me), the blue science and medical personnel shirt, or the red shirt (simply as an ode to Redshirt).

CHOOSE!



Poll #1426018 Starfleet T-shirt Decision
Open to: Friends, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 4

Which shirt should I choose?

Ok so I have dear friends who have not seen the Icon about Tacos and Cedric, and I have been looking for literally hours now, and cannot find it to save my life, so please please please if any one of you have it, can link me to some one who does, email it to me, reply anything.

Seriously, this is hurting my brain.

Love!

No I haven't seen the movie yet. I've been too busy this week going through all my childhood possessions and trashing 10 black garbage bags full and donating the same amount is hard work. Not to mention going to my little sister's graduation Friday and babysitting for her last night. Aiden and I had a marvelous time. He slept for an hour and I read a book. For it being my first time babysitting an actual baby/changing diapers/feeding him bottles, I think it went splendidly. I love my 5 month old nephew!!!!

i is making it.

Ok, so until this week I hadn't worked on my senior seminar paper at all since having completed the presentation. What I found out was that the presentation is my paper. I did so much work for the presentation that I am not doing as much as I thought I would when it came to paper time.

See last weekend or so, I took all of my slides from my powerpoint presentation and wrote them all in a word document in outline form, which was good. It got me 3 pages of outline. I thought that was awesome. Then in the middle of the week. I started going back in an adding in subpoints all the information from my note cars. By note card 6, I got my outline up to 4 1/2 pages long, and I have 23 note cards. So today I sat down and wrote in all of the other note cards, the things I said during the presentation, and the things I forgot to say, and there were a few paragraphs worth of information for some bullet points, which was awesome because now my single spaced outline is 13 pages long.

If I remove the bullet points and change the single spacing to double as is required for the paper, it is 21 pages long, and by the time I go in, take out all the titles and add my introduction, clean up my conclusion, and all the transitional bits between the different points, I am pretty sure I am going to have my 25 pages. And all of it came out of my head!!!! Which was pretty freaking awesome.

Now here is my biggest problem: citation.


oh damn....

Reasons Why You May Not See Me Much Starting This Friday:

1. BSG!
2. Exec Board Plotting night, a.k.a. getting things set up for new exec board
3. SGA "info" session night Monday, followed by class and meetings.
2. My Marketing prof is making us watch a video of a person being euthanized (sp?)
3. Wednesday will be spent studying my ass off in prep for Thursday
4. 15 minute talk about the euthanized man followed by our first Marketing Exam on Thursday
5. Which is directly followed by two hours of work and my Money and Banking Midterm
6. Writing and revising resumes with cover letters and the works with Career Services so that I can seek a Job during Spring Break so I won't be poor this summer.
7. Packing for Spring Break next Friday
8. Searching for a job all of Spring Break.

UPDATE: Add "Write a paper for my banking class before Tuesday" and "Road Trip this Weekend" in there. Sorry this is mostly so I don't forget to do anything.

So if you don't see me much, this is the reason why. So don't fret, I am not dead, but it looks like I shall be very very busy....
