Seriously. I'll blow a gasket. I really really want to see this movie whenever it finally comes out and if it doesn't play near me the world will hear me scream!

Saul Rubinek (swoon)
Lainie Kazan (she's always so awesome)
Vincent Pastore (I'm not fooled, he's just a cuddly teddy bear)

According to the official site it's due out this October on the coasts. *sigh* I'm in the Midwest, might as well be Hooterville. But Chicago is only 100 miles away so there's hope?

A new vidding challenge has started over at Kawoosh!! Actually, it's been going on for a week already and I'm late announcing this.

Triangle Vids Challenge

Make any type of vid that involves relationships between three people. Follow the link above for the official details.

Deadline for this challenge is August 2, 2009 at midnight GMT.

Pass the news along anywhere else you know Stargate vidders hang out.

*sniffle* I'm not going to be able to do this challenge cuz I'm going out of town.

Totally love this show!!!  I was  hoping it wouldn't disappoint and it didn't.  The show was a ton of fun.  Do I have to recap it?  Can I recap it?  Not unless I watch it again.  Oh look, it's coming on again!!  Cool.  And I recorded it. I expect I'll watch it again.  I know I missed some good things.   What's the good?  Well, the story, the dialog, the look, the feel, Saul Rubinek. *giggle*  Predictable?  Mmm, sort of but not really.   I'm setting my recorder for SyFy on this one. 

edited during the rewatch...
A bit of the dialog:
"You can call me Artie.
Got some I.D?
No, we take the secret part seriously around here."

Remember that Kawoosh Foreign Language Challenge a few weeks ago?  Well, I got first place!!!  SqueeeeEEEEE! *faints*  Thank you everyone who voted, even if you didn't vote for me! 

As for the other stuff, I'm still up to my ears in Real Life.  I hope to get freed up next week.  My daughter was in town last weekend and I had to spend every second possible with her.  She went back home and I miss her already. *wipes tear* 

I'm in love with this link. Totally. Let it run and then leave it.  It's a hoot.  But then... I love Saul Rubinek so maybe I'm influenced by that?

P.S.
I know I've been completely MIA and I'm soooooo sorry!  RL is holding me captive. I've planned an escape for next week.

This morning I slammed my foot into a piece of furniture. Hard. I cried. A few hours later my middle toe still hurt so I checked it out. Swollen, purple and verrrrrry tender. I could wiggle the end of it so I'm betting it's not broken.  12 hours later what do I do?  I slam that same foot into the stair face as I'm going upstairs. Waaaaaah!!!  I think I'll wear my hiking boots all day tomorrow.

Um...

[insert LJ username] "has added you to their Friends list. They will now be able to read your public entries on their Friends page."

Why?  I don't know you. We have nothing in common. You've not contacted me privately.  Why friend me?

Guess I shouldn't worry really, but it still makes me feel like someone's looking in my window at night.

I just spent the last 4 days and late nights trying to get my computer working again after I almost killed it.

I decided the suggestions from you all were a good idea and that I needed to get away from the computer. So on Wednesday I shut everything down and busied myself with straightening up and organizing my computer room.  That took a good couple of hours.  Then I figured it would be a good time to upgrade the RAM on the ole desktop.  I'd been wanting to max it out for a long time. 

( Really long geeky rant... )

So after 4 days of hell I still don't have the RAM upgrade.  I'm going to wait until after I get to that ripping and finish the video. 

RESULTS: Movie Trailer Redo Challenge!!

I got first place!!  Thank you everybody!!

I never liked cooking on an electric stove. And I hate cooking on an electric, glass-top stove.

The house we've moved into came with this stove. It's fancy and pretty and the burners do some sort of heat regulating/radiating thing; they repeatedly glow red then go dark, red, dark, red.

My food still burns even on the lowest setting. I hate electric stoves.

I figured it's all my fault since I've been cooking with gas for over 20 years. LOL! I've always loved saying “cooking with gas” metaphorically but it's even more fun literally!

So I decided to hunt the web and see what I need to do in order to cook well with electric. It only got worse.

Electric stoves SUCK!!!

You've all been eagerly waiting for this right?

Of course you have.

Wow!! 

I actually said that out loud when I first saw it all together.

Several weeks ago replicartertje  made up a very pretty header image for me.  It's perfect and oh so pretty!!!  It matches my journal titles.

I like this Flexible Squares layout and there are several color options premade and I told her the couple that I would be good to go with and she made up the the header to match!  Isn't she awesome?  She's so awesome!! 

I've wanted to do this with my journal for over a year and she made it all possible.  *huggles replicartertje tightly*
