VOTE TODAY

I want to say only if you're voting for a certain person, but you know, it is a democracy and all so if you're voting for that other dude, have at it, I guess . . . I just might be doing some side-eyeing from over here

Sherlock

ciley — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 17:08:01 GMT

Anyone else watch like (BBC's) Sherlock? I just got the DVDs of series/season one after hearing dj much about it. Really live it so far ...

Wish I didn't have to wait until May for more!

LJ Community Deletion Question

ciley — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:13:07 GMT

If LJ sent me an email about a community being deleted if I didn't updated it, I updated it, then today I get a thing about it being deleted (yeah, that was nice to do anyhow) unless I go to Account Status select the comm and change it from deleted to active within 30 days . . . except there's no drop down on that journal, just the main journal, what should I do?

(Then I can't even set up the notification for when they purge it b/c it says no journal was selected . . . yays)

*Not loving Livejournal at the moment*

The Finder (TV)

ciley — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:05:40 GMT

Did anyone watch The Finder last week?

I'm not sure how much I like it now. I was maybe the only person (besides my mother) who liked Saffron Burrows on there and now she's gone . . . I feel like they're trying to make him too much of the 'he's very logical and doesn't care about people's feelings, those are silly' characters. Kind of a cross of Bones and House.

I get that we have scores of characters that are the opposite and, obviously, care about people a lot but . . . When they've mentioned House in regards to him and he's on a spin-off of Bones.

I guess it just seems a lot different than the Finder Bones ep. (And it seems like it takes a lot to get me to watch TV shows anymore - I hardly manage to watch the ones I love anymore [I'm super behind on Chuck and Parenthood and Ringer and behind on HIMYM. I think I watch Hart of Dixie and Supernatural . . . and Bones.])

Also, semi-related to TV, here's a To Kill a Mockingbird Blu Ray contest . . . I just saw this (well the DVD since, I guess the Blu Ray isn't out yet) at the library . . . I love that movie. I hope they give some more classic movies the whole Blu Ray treatment! (Part of that might be all the photo classes I took and my love of black and white pictures.)

New Year's

ciley — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 02:35:15 GMT

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE everyone - or New Year's Day to some of you!

Apologies for the short, boring post but I have a horrible migraine today. Wanted to wish all you lovelies a great holiday, though :) (Especially since my crazy, not awesome month has had me miss the ready of December posting...

Hope you all have a great night and the new year brings you health, friendship, love, happiness, joy, and lots of other great things!!

Writer's Block: B.Y.O.B. Holidays

ciley — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 03:01:13 GMT

obviously there are a ton of things to fix but I really think eady access to at least a *good* education regardless of income, location, gender, etc. would help a whole lot of people in a lot of ways. (I'd still write run-on sentences, though.)

Movies

ciley — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 15:34:48 GMT

What's a really good movie to see?

Here are the ones I've seen lately:

Source Code which I liked a lot more than I expected to like it. And not only because of the Chicago-ness. It has a lot more plot to it than I ever thought - and plot that I thought was good.

Stone which I liked a lot less than I thought I would. I heard a whole lot of good things about this when it was in theatres, forgot about it (it never played here), then saw it for sale and decided to rent it . . . and didn't like it that much.

Atlas Shrugged: Part One because of the giveaway here I thought I would see this when the library had it. Colbert talked about it a while ago and I wondered about it - but didn't feel trying to read the giant book again (I read part of it a few years ago). I didn't like the content, but I did like the production and the actors (didn't recognize many of them) did a good job.

Morning Glory watching that right now . . . it's cute. I really like Rachel McAdams even if I constantly confuse whether it's her or Amy Adams in a movie ;-) This movie has some really good actors in it and they're doing a good job. It's not a serious movie, of course, but it's a great amount of fun to watch not serious movies sometimes.

I also go Toy Story 3 and Remember Me but then I remembered I'd already seen Toy Story 3 a while ago and I don't think I'll have time to watch Remember Me . . . .

Anyone see any of the movies in theatres over Thanksgiving? Maybe My Week With Marilyn or Hugo? Maybe The Muppets?

Or maybe you rented some movies? I'm looking for some suggestions - or any warnings of what not to see works, too!

Writer's Block: American Censorship Day! & giveaway link

ciley — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:05:50 GMT

I did not know about this - I need to read stuffs when my cold isn't making me lightheaded because it sounds like something that could be well meaning but bad in execution ... Or just people wanting money or some such

Anyone have plans for Thanksgiving/end of this month? I don't believe that I do. And my hand is being all ouchy (really hoping its no big deal & goes away/lessens soon) so that's all for thus post ...

Oh, wait! I found this: Atlas Shrugged DVD giveaway that has (literally) like no entries, so kind if enter & win? ENTER HERE

Dizzy

ciley — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 22:44:44 GMT

Anyone know how to fix dizzy? Because I am - dizzy I mean and it's getting very annoying.

ALso annoying? My phone deleted my LJ app thingy (my phone had/has some problems) so I couldn't updated when I wanted to :(

Back to the important thing, though, if you know how to get rid of dizziness, please do share.

Travel

ciley — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 13:38:49 GMT

Anyone know your state or city (or any sates/city's) travel slogan/motto? You know, the thing they
use on commercials trying to get people to visit there?

I hope you're all safe from Irene . . . though, I suppose if you'd lost power or something you wouldn't exactly be checking LJ/able to tell me :s

Torchwood

ciley — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 16:07:44 GMT

How spoilery/confusing is Torchwood: Miracle if U haven't seen seasons 1-3 yet?

Buffy DVDs

ciley — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 16:21:23 GMT

I had Buffy DVDs at my dad's ... so I didn't watch *all* of them for a long time. Tried in January & some wouldn't play.

I thought it was his player but now they won't onstage here either.

Waaaayy too late to take them back now. I'm sad.

ciley — Sat, 21 May 2011 01:17:41 GMT

I do not appreciate driving directions that tell me the minutes will be double the hours :(

Also, if for some reason the world does end tomorrow, I like you all so much :D

SPN icon question...

ciley — Fri, 20 May 2011 01:02:44 GMT

Is there an icon with Cas (SPN) demonstrating what he learned from the pizza man? ;-)

ciley — Thu, 19 May 2011 22:34:22 GMT

so LJBeetle posts things twice--isn't that nice ---sorry all

ciley — Thu, 19 May 2011 11:39:11 GMT

So my face feels like I have a black eye (have had one so...) & my eyelid's swollen, too. Started less than an hour after I started a new medicine. Don't know if it's a result of that or just suck, sucky luck ;)

It's on the different side from my ear that seems to have something in it so I can differentiate, though :p

Movie Question

ciley — Tue, 17 May 2011 13:50:44 GMT

Has anyone seen Daydream Nation with Cat Dennings and Josh Lucas? I saw the trailer on imdb (and thought it came out last year) and apparently it's just out on DVD/bluray today . .. the trailer makes it looks interesting :)

(Daydream Nation on Amazon)

Also, I very much need some SPN/Cas icons--every time I see someone's that I Like, they're uncredited so I don't know where to look :P

Napster

ciley — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 12:43:17 GMT

Anyone done a free one month thing of Napster & cancelled?

How easy is it?

Is it one that keeps charging anyway or can you really just do the free month?

Writing, as in Mine

ciley — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 16:51:00 GMT

So, reading over a fanfic I never (at least yet) finished lead me to a rather shocking conclusion: my writing does. not. suck.

I really need to get back to writing more often so that I can be sure it didn't start sucking and so that I can either finish my fanfics and/or some of the original things I started and maybe actually do something with them.

Do not try to build a website on a host that does not allow 'embed image code' D:

REALLY, REALLY BUGGING ME

My Website

ciley — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 17:23:05 GMT

*hoping my hosted website is still there even though I haven't updated in forever because I really want to start doing fandom-y stuff again*

Oooh, means I need to transfer Core for my FTP stuff to this computer and remember how to do all that again.

And likely means a Buffy marathon!!! And maybe an SPN one, too!!!

I do realise that first bit is big but this is a big thing for me so the big text seems appropriate :)

update: awww, I have no website anymore, hosted or not :(

Time to find all of my files and then find out where Shadowed Souls is linked from

D:

One More Question

ciley — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 02:19:25 GMT

At least for today ;)

Anyone made a website through Register.com?

Quark/Design ?

ciley — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 16:12:36 GMT

Has anyone used Quark recently?

Especially for web stuff?

Twitter/LJ Clients Question

ciley — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 22:45:56 GMT

since either I can't figure it out easily or it's not possible to retweet things from the Twitter site/timeline (Twitter.com) while adding a comment .... ie saying: blah blah RT @someone ....' instead of just RT @someone...' Is there a good Twitter client to download? What about one that works on Android phones, too?

and I'm still curious about a good LJ client for my phone....I had one but if I stay logged in, it doesn't let me select a userpic. If I log out and then back in for each post, then I can pick a userpic but that's annoying :P
