caia_comica	6:06p	I have a JLU Amanda Waller. She is amazing! And looks like AMANDA, which means she's a completely different mold from everyone else. Also, she has a green ring, which does not seem to have a lantern on it, and is canon as greenygal discovered on Youtube the other night, but...it is distressing. (...is it possible, by the way, that Task Force X is not on Youtube? I know I have the episode somewhere in my apartment, but I figured it would be easier to find there than here. *eyes apartment balefully.) Now she just needs a Squad. (I have a Vixen. That's it for people who've ever been in the Suicide Squad, and it's the wrong continuity Vixen at that.) I may perhaps have bought-it-now a JLU Clock King and placed a bid on a Deadshot. Sadly, or perhaps fortunately, the Suicide Squad members tend not to be the kind of folks who get action figures. I am intensely annoyed at DC for not making me a figure of Captain Boomerang senior, especially since Owen has *two*, one of whom is basically Amanda-scale. It's just not the squad without Digger! In other DC cartoon news, the latest Brave and the Bold episode was good times. Ollie got to be awesome innit! And there were both Catwoman and Huntress in the main plot--females, plural! And from the list of people I wasn't really expecting to see on TV: Woozy Winks. (Drooling over Catwoman. *sighs* I still kinda squee'd at Woozy riding Plastic Man, though.) It continues to entertain me that Ollie and Guy only ever run into each other in circumstances where you do NOT get the expected fistfight, either because Ollie is Silver Age-y (here) or because Guy is, well, Silver Age-y (GL/GA). Or because Ollie is in the hospital. Or dead. (Sad commentary on Ollie's funeral: Guy gave his eulogy. And said some of the nicer things that were said about him. Yeah.) Speaking of Ollie, I didn't start watching Smallville for him, and I'm unlikely to start watching it now, but this picture of him and Hawkman (apparently they are bringing in the JSA now!) makes me deeply, deeply happy: ( Ollie. Hawkman. Mace. Table. Crossbow. ) ...and in much sadder news, ( my comic shop is going out of business. ) (Comment on this)

dragovianknight	9:15a	Supernatural fics I wish someone would write bridgetmkennitt, you might want to not click the link until after you're done with your fic fest fics. :D ( Random ideas are pretty womancentric, really. ) Current Mood: cold (Comment on this)

dragovianknight	8:40p	Maybe one of you will recognize them So, cleaning out my purse for the first time in...a long time, I found two fic fragments, and I don't know if I ever typed them in/posted them, and in the case of the second, I can't remember which universe it was in, though it seems like something I should have talked about. (The first is clearly a sequel to the fic in which Angelo found Marcello in Pickham.) So, behind the cut, ( two DQ8 snippets, and hopefully one of you can tell me where I was going with these... ) I think it's sad that I have to rely on other people to remember what the hell I've written, to be honest. But there you go. Current Mood: dorky (6 Comments |Comment on this)
dragovianknight	11:45a	The Interweave Store is having a sale 20% off downloadable patterns! So I broke down and finally bought the pattern for the Bacchus Socks I've been eyeing forever. Now I just need to convert the pattern to magic loop, since that appears to be the only way I like to knit socks. And get a 2mm circular needle. Current Mood: cold (Comment on this)

dragovianknight	3:37p	Seen via choc_fic: Fandoms of Color Request Meme Naturally, I requested Static Shock, and now I'm spreading the word in hopes this will reach someone who can actually write Static fic. :) (2 Comments |Comment on this)
dragovianknight	11:12a	Because 4-H Lady was willing to brave Walmart at 5am I now own a Philips MP3/video player*. So, does anyone know how I can get my various AVI files (and DVDs) into SMV format so I can take them places with me? Preferably a free way? *And a pair of boots that are too narrow in the heel, so I'll have to return them. :( Edit of SQUEE: I just realized I can now conveniently listen to podfics!

dragovianknight	8:58p	Delivered via timewarp Somehow, the Friday the 13th DVDs I ordered on the 23rd, shipped on the 24th and arrived today. And they managed that with Super Saver shipping (because I'm cheap). Dude! :D I thought the "Lewis Vendredi made a deal with the devil..." opening lasted through season two; I'm sad they cut it on the DVDs. I wish Rashid had been in more than two episodes. He was awesome. Current Mood: happy Current Music: F13 2x01 - "Doorway to Hell" (Comment on this)
dragovianknight	10:02a	Present for myself I pre-ordered Nox Arcana's Winter's Eve CD (and finally ordered Phantoms of the High Seas, too). Music to listen to through the new year! ^__^ Current Mood: excited (3 Comments |Comment on this)

dragovianknight	10:18p	Going to hell. Again. You know that Christian side hug thing I linked to earlier? Well, my brain refuses to remember the actual lyrics, beyond, "Gimme that Christian side hug," but I'm earwormed by the beat...so I'm afraid I'm coming up with alternate rhymes for "side hug", like "self love" and "butt plug". I am quite sure this sullies the purity of their white boy gangsta rap about how they're such sexual deviants they can't even hug someone without being uncontrollably turned on. My lyrics do make about as much sense. The last round went, "I'm a rough rider/with a Jesus butt plug/So gimme that Christian side hug/ 'cause I practice self love." Edit: It dawns on me that apparently, Fundie boys are all Edward Cullen, terrified they will be overwhelmed by Bella Swan's outrageous flavor.* See what repression gets you? *(tm cleolinda, IIRC) Current Mood: cold (7 Comments |Comment on this)
dragovianknight	3:55p	I am making gifts this year And you know, I love knitting, but this is a LOT of work (not to mention the OMG WON'T FINISH ON TIME! panic). It's kind of making me feel guilty for all the times I've asked to have something written/drawn/made for me, instead of just telling people to drop ten bucks on a gift card from Amazon or Knitpicks. (On a related note, I have things for people from that meme at the start of the year, and I am SO FAILING at getting them packed up and mailed out. Bad Dragovian. Bad.) Current Mood: gloomy (2 Comments |Comment on this)
dragovianknight	10:03a	Dear Jesus, did you mean for your followers to be insane? The Christian Side Hug (Link goes to a YouTube video.) Tell me this is satire. Alternatively, write me the smuttiest hugging comment fics you can think of. Edit: Links to commentary on Feministing and Feministe. (No, I don't read them, I just got linked to them. I pass along mostly for the "is it a parody or not" discussions.) Current Mood: confused (2 Comments |Comment on this)

dragovianknight	5:35p	I don't know why I never thought to search Amazon for knitting stuff Because I just got a set of 15 sizes of 6" bamboo DPNs - 5 of each size, so *math* 75 needles total - for $19.99 and $4.99 shipping. I would have preferred 5", which fits my rather small hands, but 6" should serve without tending to get caught on my sleeves like 7" do. No, I don't expect these to be the highest quality needles ever at that price, but considering I rarely use DPNs because I prefer magic loop (I am working on slipper socks in magic loop! I AM ENJOYING THEM! I may get over my anti-sock bias!), I think these will serve just fine. And I can't argue with the price. Then while I was there, I used a gift certificate to buy myself Friday the 13th: the series season two. Which netted me a $5 credit for Amazon Video On Demand. Which I may or may not use - I would have to watch at work since I don't have a fast enough connection to stream things here - but it's rather a nice thought, I guess. Current Mood: cheerful (2 Comments |Comment on this)
dragovianknight	3:56p	Uh-HUH So Amazon categorizes X-Files under "horror", but Friday the 13th: the series under "science fiction and fantasy". Allrighty then. Current Mood: confused (Comment on this)
dragovianknight	1:50p	It strikes me That for all the 70s had its share of fail, like every decade, I was rather lucky to be a wee!Dragovian growing up back then. Why? Why because, I had a wealth of women to look up to, from my Saturday morning heroines Isis and ElectroWoman and DynaGirl, to Wonder Woman and the Bionic Woman, and Charlie's Angels and Buck Rogers' Wilma Dearing in prime time. I don't know that today's wee girls have quite so much awesome, at least, not in shows they'd actually be allowed to watch. (Also, so many beautiful women, and not a visible rib to be seen in the bunch.) Current Mood: nostalgic (Comment on this)
dragovianknight	12:54p	Oh, if only If only I had $93, I could have Knight Rider: The Complete Series, a boxed set of all four seasons of the original. The box has a KITT-style scanner light. I keep hoping it'll show up as a deal between now and Christmas; I mean, there can't be THAT much demand for it, right? Discounts are good! (I checked on the new series. $40 for one season! One short season. This is why God gave us Netflix.) Sadly, Xena and Hercules are both out of print now. Woe. :( Current Mood: sore Current Music: KITT's scanner light going "wooosh woosh" (Comment on this)

dragovianknight	4:19p	They found the formula too late You know what's on the last DVD of Knight Rider (the final four eps after the retool)? No big SRS GOV'MENT BIZNZ, just helping women, children, and old friends of Mike's. Like the original wrapped implausible episodes around for four seasons. If ONLY they had made the changes early enough to avoid cancellation. (Also, KITT3K developed some lovely snark in the final few episodes. I love him so. Not as much as KITT2K, of course.) Mike: You ever think about making your back seat into a bed, KITT? KITT: I'm afraid you'd be tempted to invite strangers. Edit: HEY, why didn't anyone tell me Alona Tal was in the last episode of KR? (Oh, wait, because nobody was WATCHING KR by the last episode.) Current Mood: amused (Comment on this)
dragovianknight	1:28p	I think the worst thing ...about SPN 5x10 was not the events of the episode themselves, but rather that the episode still fell flat for me, so that I was left going, "Wait, that's it, it's over? What was the point*?" *( Small spoilery 'point' behind the cut. ) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

dragovianknight	8:02a	Christians are filled with such caring and compassion That they send around "jokes" like this: ( Cut to spare you the desire to kill. ) How fucked up is that? Current Mood: angry (8 Comments |Comment on this)

dragovianknight	9:54p	As usual, sailing against the prevailing fannish winds To say that I found SPN 5x09 freakin' hilarious, and ( spoilery comment ahoy ) I would hang with those fans. Actually, I think I have hung with those fans. But then, keep in mind that I was the one at Anime Expo addressing her question to Lord Zedd and Empress Rita, which I think means I am one of those fans. I just wish I was one of those fans who could afford to restore a classic Impala. Current Mood: amused (9 Comments |Comment on this)
