Nothing new (if we don't count a few Torchwood ones that I never shared cause I was not crazy about them) here, I'm just collecting them all in one place cause I never did post most of them on this journal.

( I think those are mostly all of the icons I ever made. Unless I am forgetting something, which is possible.Collapse )
The usual blah blah, if anyone stumbles upon these, feel free to take any of the shareable ones, credit would be nice applies :P

Within a bit more than 24 h, the goal was reached! \o/ \o/ \o/
Now it says 157 days till release and isn't that something :D You can still pledge for as long as there are exclusives left, which will also get you access to updates about the album's progress.
Can't waaait!

Guys, guys, guys, The Headstones are finally making a new album! And they're "cutting out the middleman", which means they need the fans' help to kickstart the project. They first tweeted about it about 5 hours ago and the goal is already 60% met, so I am thinking we'll have done it within a few days max, if not even today. The CA$ 10 pledge gets you the digital download of the album and access to their updates and there are a lot more extras for the more expensive pledges, including the omg-I-wish-I-could-afford-them silver rings and pendants, signed guitars, lyrics, etc (lol even your own house party Headstones gig).
I'm so excited about this album, I've been having a Headstones music phase lately, I was about to brag about finally getting some CDs (preeetty artwork <3!). I'm in a really crappy place mentally right now, this has brightened my day considerably :).

So um. HI! If anyone still bothers to look my way, which with me being so amazingly active here would be a miracle. HELLO TO ALL THE FISH I friended during this hiatus though! :D Not that much has changed since my last not-really-update, regarding my way too busy for my liking RL state. Hence the lj fail. One thing that's changed though is that I have no more semesters left in the university (omfg yay). Only internships and a whole bunch of leftover exams and then the exams that seem to correspond to the boards in USA (not yay at all *l*). Teh end is almost in sight. What comes after that is probably unemployment, or working something completely unrelated to make ends meet, but hey, at least I won't be in school anymore.

Some of the things I've been fangirling lately:

• Criminal Minds - I feel like I won't be able to watch anything else until I have finished all the seasons of this and seeing as how I began s4, this is probably true. Psychology! Crimes! Awesome family-like team &hearts;! Reid! Garcia! Morgan! And everyone else! *lol*
• Inception - Great movie, even greater fandom with a seemingly (please, let it always be like that :P) unending supply of quality fic that more than makes up for the lack of characterisation in the movie itself. Amazing art as well. And of course, from a fan of Canadian actors' point - yay Ellen Page!
• Joseph Gordon-Levitt - one of the best things to come to my attention because of Inception. Remembered him from 3rd Rock From The Sun and 10 Things I hate About You *l*, but hadn't known what an amazing actor he is (can't really tell just by Inception either). Manic, Mysterious Skin, Brick, The Lookout => Nyn completely in love with this guy's acting. I waaaant to see Hesher damn it!
• Tom Hardy - totally not my physical type (unlike Joe up there *g*), so I didn't really pay him a lot of attention at first, but people in the fandom worship him for reasons besides his looks. Bronson, Freddie from The Take (whom I nominate for scariest villain o.o), Handsome Bob from Rocknrolla - another man who knows how to act.
• The Eagle - It's the love story of Marcus the depressed Roman soldier and Esca, his fierce grumpy Briton slave (and totally the boss), set to one of my favourite tropes - a journey/quest against some breath taking landscapes xD What's not to love. (And yes, I am aware there's a book that people who read and loved as children may feel was somehow offended by the movie, but I have started it and so far I like the movie dynamics way better. Which is not to say the movie did not have issues.) Some awesome fic too. And Jamie Bell is one intense little dude for whom I'll have an eye out. I love how many good actors I've been discovering lately :P
• Game Of Thrones - I waited and waited and then forgot about it entirely and then there the tv show was. I had faith that HBO could pull this off and they did. Takes a few eps to get back to the Westeros mood and remember -why the hell- you cared about these characters, but once you do it's great. Even if I don't think half of the cast fits my vision of the characters (Jon?! Sansa?! Jaeme? etc) but oh well. And then after just 10 eps you're made to wait for next season *grumbles*. I have A Dance With  Dragons and it arrived just a bit too late to match my tv-induced hype, plus I have forgotten sooo much from the previous books and need to start hitting the textbooks again. Damn.
• Squee: The Headstones back together and recording new material? *BOUNCES* And the new site with actual lyrics and streaming of all their songs is a great touch. 
• Also squee: Garbage are also back together and making new songs, what is this, I am in music heaven.

And it's 4:30 am again and I should run to bed :P. I'd love to go through the f-list but that's for tomorrow and I'd love it if people tell me things I missed although I realize that may be pretty much everything :].
Oh and thanks again for the chocolate userheads :D

just the quickest post to say OMG THANK YOU, ANONYMOUS POLAR BEAR GIVER!! I've been so very out of it lately with school and RL stuff that not only did I lose track of the times I almost came back to lj, I didn't even realize that it was More Joy Day time again and this was an unexpected surprise that brought me joy when I wasn't happy at all, thank you! *hugs, whoever you are* And I'm rambling cause it's 6 am and I haven't yet gone to bed, so... sleep....be back later....

Did I mention I got it bad ever since rewatching A Knight's Tale?

Anyway, just in case you needed something that feels mildly inappropriate to be drooling over...

Click twice for hi-res.

I'm getting such a bad case of cabin fever. I spent three years in Stara Zagora with roommates, but I still got at least a few days a month to myself and this past year has been with me home and my parents working and my sister going to school, but now she's got summer break and I'M GOING CRAZY! She didn't use to stay up this late before at least, but now she never goes to bed before 3am or later and I'm left with half an hour to an hour of alone time at best and at an hour when I'm actually too exhausted to do anything but waste time.
She was supposed to be at a birthday party tonight, so I thought YES! FINALLY and prepared the gin and tonic and Torchwood and she fucking came back around 1 am, about half an hour after my father had gone to bed.
I need to be ALONE damn it, I'm an extreme introvert and I NEED time on my own *pulls hair*. I can't even draw anything with people around. Gah!



I also really need a mouse and am going to find one tomorrow.

And I haven't been able to stay alone for a while and rewatch some ever since and I'm getting really cranky.

( Anyway.Collapse )
It was a very good, quite realistic for the most part, movie-type miniseries. I liked it, as a separate creation. But I had been told, that this was going to be season three of Torchwood and I was lied to, because that was more like a film that featured Torchwood's characters. While, at the same time, destroying the possibility of there ever being more of the show that we were there for in the first place. I never expected to hope that there won't be a s4. But I do. And if there is, I won't be watching it. I'm sure someone will watch it and probably that makes it ok in the eyes of RTD and company. But pulling that on your loyal fans doesn't feel quite right to me. Then again, I am one of those people that get really into things once they are hooked on something. My mother for example sees nothing wrong with that. *shrugs* But my brain still can't finish processing the new events as legitimate and it's annoying, really.
