amberskies — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 11:19:16 GMT

This seven minutes was just so much fun and so much of why I love Doctor Who. David Tennant running around being delightfully witty. Doing this picspam also proved to me why I start so many picspams and never finish them. I can't leave anything out and thus get bored half way through. If all shows were seven minutes long it would probably serve my short attention span a lot better.

Ten: Look at you! The hat, the coat, the crickety cricket stuff, the... stick of celery, yeah...
Brave choice, celery, but fair play to you, not a lot of men can carry off a decorative vegetable.

Ten: Aw, the back of my head!
Five: What!?
Ten: Sorry, sorry, it's not something you see every day, is it, the back of your own head.
Mind you, I can see why you wear a hat... I don't want to seem vain, but could you keep that on?

Ten: Aw, and out they come! The brainy specs! You don't even need them! You just think they make you look a bit clever!

Look at him, rolling on his ankles. He's like an excitable kid that can't stand still.

Five: Look, it's perfectly understandable, I go zooming around space and time,
saving planets, fighting monsters, and being, well, let's be honest, pretty sort of marvellous...

Ten: Listen to me, I'm you. I'm you with a new face.
Check out this bone structure, Doctor, 'cause one day you're gonna be shaving it.

Ten: You know, I loved being you. Back when I first started at the very beginning,
I was always trying to be old and grumpy and important, like you do when you're young.
And then I was you. I was all bashing about and playing cricket and my voice going all
squeaky when I shouted, I still do that! The voice thing, I got that from you! Oh!
And the trainers! And... Snap! (puts on glasses) 'Cause you know what, Doctor? You were my Doctor.

Aw, I can't wait for Christmas now. And, Kylie Minogue as the companion! Hee!

Fight an honest fight...

Made me weak in the knees

amberskies — Wed, 27 Dec 2006 12:40:42 GMT

List six of your favorite TV shows:

01) The Office

02) Supernatural

03) Veronica Mars

04) The OC

05) Prison Break

06) House

1. Who is your favourite character from #2? (Supernatural)
Dean, pretty and snarky. What more could a girl ask for.

2. Who is your least favourite character from #4? (The OC)
It was Marissa, but they killed her off. Hence the reason I'm actually watching the show again. Now probably Che.

3. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include? (The Office)(Prison Break)
Wow, just no words. No, that would be just too weird.

4. Who is your favourite ship from #6? (House)
House/Cuddy

5. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be? (Veronica Mars)(House)
Cameron and Dick. Mainly because I'm just not liking Cameron very much at the moment. And hey, if he drugged her, she'd probably do him!

6. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do? (The OC)
Ryan. Lock ourselves in the poolhouse, so I could use his body like a jungle gym.

7. If you could change one thing about #2's plotline, what would you change? (Supernatural)
Dean needs to take his clothes off more often. Its not like I actually watch that show for the plot.

8. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #3, and why you like the relationship between them. (Veronica Mars)
Veronica/Logan, as fucked up as their relationship is, they just seem to get each other.

9. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from #1 and #5 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be? (The Office)(Prison Break)
Michael Scott and Lincoln Burrows. Um, can I let them both drown. OK, may be I'd save Michael...

10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #6, what order would you choose? (House)
Cuddy would be higher in the credits, so she would get more screen time. Her and House don't snark at each other enough for my liking.

11. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for #4, what would the character be like and what would their role be? (The OC)
Actually I'm just pleased they decided to use Taylor to lighten Ryan up a bit. The show is infinitely better now.

12. What happens in your favourite episode of show #2? (Supernatural)
I don't really have a favourite episode, though I did really like the episode a few weeks ago that Sam was hardly in and was all about Dean. 'Cause after all, it is all about Dean.

13. If you could kill off one of the characters of #1, who would it be and how would you do it? (The Office)
Bye Bye Karen! Poison coffee. Even Dwight couldn't save her. (I don't really hate her).

14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose? (Veronica Mars)(Prison Break)
Logan Echolls, 'nough said.

15. So, I saved the best for last. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
Dean Winchester, though honourable mentions should go to Jim Halpert and Logan Echolls.

The O.C. picspam

amberskies — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 11:22:23 GMT

They're just so pretty and awesome. The O.C. is actually fun again.
I hope the ratings improve, because they really do deserve to be rewarded for killing off Marissa. And the awesomeness that is Ryan/Taylor.

I'm sure it happens all the time

It's been so long since I've updated.
I've been working a lot and not spending much time on the computer. It's too cold to spend much time in our study at the moment. Hopefully once the weather warms I will feel like making icons again, 'cause I miss it. In the meantime I will continue to huddle up on the lounge and watch TV. It's also getting toward the business end of the footy season, and it looks like my team may be playing finals football this year. :D
In the last month though, I've watched all of Farscape, Supernatural and North & South (BBC). All of which I loved. Plus I've been watching a heap of movies, I've become a regular at the local video store.

Anyway, thought I'd post these few icons I've made over the last couple of months.

01.-00. Alexis Bledel

OMG, I was so tense through this whole episode. And I'm still having trouble forming coherent thoughts. But Nick, and his Dad, and he did it all for his Dad and they got killed. And it was all for nothing. But he couldn't give up Veronica, he couldn't give her life in exchange for his Dad's.
Oh, and Sara sitting in her car crying after she left the door unlocked for Michael. Then Michael falling at the end and I so knew that was going to happen, but I was just so tense waiting for it, and now they have to get away. And I can't wait for next week, but I think I have to watch this ep again, because I'm sure I missed a heap of stuff. And this was all totally rambly (and that's not a real word) and probably makes no sense. Oh well.

Also, I ate my last chocolate cupcake and I now want another one, but I have assignments to do and don't have time to bake more. However, the chances of me doing much tonight are slim because I'm just going to spend my time distracting myself waiting for the VM torrent to show up.

Alexis In Blue

I'm not always a fan of what Alexis wears, but this dress she wore on Letterman the other night is gorgeous. I adore the colour.
The shoes however, which you can't see in these pics, but you can here, yeah, kinda ugly. But I'll forgive her, because the dress; all kinds of awesome!

Also, the older I get, the more I hate winter. Yeah, I'm freezing my butt off and winter hasn't even started. Super!

I shot a man in Reno...

A few of my favourite things…

Gorgeous colour (I love green dresses) and the style really suited her. She can also pull off slicked back hair like nobody else.

I always love what she wears. This was no exception.

The back of her dress was so pretty. Shame about the front. :(

I love her necklace. The dress was a little plain.

I love how her dress silhouetted her figure.

Her dress would have been nice if she lost that hideously large bow on her shoulder.

These two are adorable. :)

I’m so pleased they have done another movie together. :D

I usually don’t find either of them very funny. However they did manage to get a laugh out of me. Shame the same can’t be said for Ben Stiller.

I didn’t overly like her dress, however…

I did like that she presented George with his Oscar.

And what the night was really about for me, George won…

… and so did Reese. And how gorgeous is her dress. Reese, Naomi and J-Lo get my best dressed nods.

And just because I love them and they are adorable.
