No, not dead yet. Not even resting or dreaming of the fjords. I'm more-or-less off-planet for the time being--no word yet on when I'll be back. *sighs* However, heard this piece a few months back on CBC. Had to take evasive measures so as to avoid messy collision due to attempting to operate a motor vehicle whilst simultaneously ROTFLMAO. Just ran across it again in this fabulously slashy and beautifully edited fanvid so I thought I should share. (Was actually searching for something else entirely--can anyone out there remember the soda pop commercial involving a girl, a car, and a couple of guys at a rural gas station on a ridiculously hot day? It was ridiculously indecent but I can't recall even the brand that it was for). (Yes yes yes, for those who still have me on their f-list, I have not forgotten what happens next in Puzzling Evidence nor that it needs to be finished ... I just remain unable to steal time to commit any of it to pixels. Please continue to bear with me!)
*points at subject line* Seriously, this has been weighing on my mind for days now. Off the top of my head I don't know anyone in RL who might have an answer, so I'm going to cast it to the mighty powers of the f-list, which yes, I know I don't do often (ever?) but seriously this question is driving me nuts. Question:If the universe was created in some sort of single-point-ish type of big-bang-ish type explosion of energy, how can stuff like the Hubble Deep Field photograph show us galaxies colliding? Doesn't that mean they're spinning from different vectors? Or bouncing off something that changes their trajectories? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgg2tpUVbXQ <--- cool video about the image (image depicted at 2:22) with other contextual information on large numbers. Note: Apologies in advance for probably completely erroneous usage of math-like terms to ask the above question. I'm happy to be corrected if anyone is so inclined. :-)Anyone?
SoooooOOooooo ... I've been gone much of the week dealing with a dying person (lately a late, aka "dead", person) and the dead person's OTT hysterical descendants before they start WWIII among one another. I arrive home to peruse LJ only to see a writers' block prompt on what to do with one's body after its dead. *facepalm*
For many reasons, the inklets and I were perusing clips of ancient culture (aka "surfing YouTube for 70s and 80s TV show themes) and saw the opening to The Love Boat. Of course, any good explanation for the young 'uns has to connect back to things they already know, right? So here's Love Boat: SGA. *facepalm* I'm sooooo ashamed. ( The Love Boat, as cast by some of our friends in SGA:Collapse )
Okay, so I fail completely by not even having a suitable icon for the following (my sole icon image of the person in question having been changed to a heavily-woobified image for one of my fics). THANK YOU, GARNETEVE!I just received a signed photograph of Kavan Smith as Major Lorne ... one where he's looking freaked out and about to shoot in S404 (Doppleganger). Mmmmmmm ... yes. Lovely. Absolutely lovely. *wipes drool from plastic photo sleeve* Thank you for such a neat gift!
A friend pointed me to this show for a completely different clip (which was also amusing) but this one? This one I adore! *giggles* ( acting tipsCollapse )
Not likely to be able to do anything with this anytime soon, but someone recc'd this vid to me and I really like it. Plot-bunnyish, imo. ;-) ( Mick Jagger video behind cutCollapse )
Sorry, no time to dig up the coding to format this all pretty and everything, so this is a drive-by public service announcement. http://www.digitalhome.ca/content/view/2972/280/The CRTC is looking at how to regulate what we poor Canadians choose to view over the Internet and other mobile devices. Joy oh joy. (For the non-Canadians on my f-list, the Canadian Radio-television Communications Commission holds a lot of power here regarding what gets broadcast on our televisions and on our radio stations. It also is the final arbiter of what is or isn't Canadian, a mysterious label applied by mechanisms that none of us are entirely certain about, given that it seems a Canadian artist's works are declared not CanCon (Canadian Content) by merely being on holiday out of the country, while others who haven't lived here in years are somehow still counted as being Canadian. Okay, sure, I'm exaggerating a bit ... but only a bit. And yeah, Canadian broadcasters (radio or TV) are required by law to carry a certain percentage of Canadian content on their stations. This isn't necessarily a terrible thing, it's just very, very, very confusing as the CRTC's mechanisms, as I indicated, seem to be quite mysterious and ... mysterious. *g*)
