No, I'm not planning to leave.

Nothing witty today. Am trying to catch up between studying for Bio Test.

octopon - Pirates of DarkWater fandom asylum. Completed!

gotham_gazetteCompleted!</i>

vagrant_story - Vagrant Story fandom asylum. WIP; will be deleted unless more interest is shown.

And,

Please feel free to join commedia; a personal project of mine, aiming to review and analyze comics (and other selected media) that feature DC Comics' The Joker.

It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans.

I'd like to point out that currently I have two polls up for debate, as can be seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, and whatnot. =) Otherwise, the FAQ and The Rules are already up. The tags/memory post is still a WIP.

I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs.

On any asylum, you should always read their info first for rules and any regulations. :)
(Please note that all asylums listed below have been around for a good while; these are not new.)

graphix - A great graphics asylum that offers making and posting of many types of graphics.
NOTE: We currently are in need of active makers, please help!

ijelite - Another great graphics community that offers icons and all sorts of graphics.

christians - A place for Christians and non-Christians alike to discuss the Christian faith, prayer, and problems.
NOTE: Need active members; please join us!

iconism - An icon only asylum.
NOTE: Sister asylum of graphix.

hardball - Want to debate? This is the place to do it. Please read rules before posting/commenting.

addme - A place to find friends to add!

I'm going to shoot someone.

Today, that would be Verizon. After having to reconfigure everything so that my damned modem would, you know, actually be able to send out emails, IMs, etc. the service is still crawling along. Thanks for naught, twerps.

I think I'll be switching back to Earthlink in November/December.

P.S. I have a horrible foreboding of doom that this could morph into the horror tale that Alan Davies lived through with Virgin Media. *gets out stakes and garlic, and voodoo dolls... just in case.*

Post is up a little bit early. I have classes tomorrow and yeah, I'm hoping that you all are having fun and driving your characters through the paces.

( HERITAGE LAKE LODGE )

I've hit 7500+, then restarted so now my count is 3100+. Am tired, hungry and sleepy. Post is up for the day fine ladies and gents.

Yes, those wile-filled folks over at Panhistoria know how to procrastinate. I am in the company of genius.


Aporkalypse Bingo!

( My card: )

I had forgotten about these charming little weather indicators until I saw a repost of one on the f-list. Hee. Will have to find a place to put this.

Come on guys, even if we're falling face down on our beds tonight. Got to get those word counts in. It's only Day 4.

And now we (in Cleveland) have Anthony Sowell.

Argh.

Body count is up to ten and rising. And this is the part that really freaks me out: I just saw pictures of his house and it's identical to the house in a nightmare I had two years ago about a serial killer.

Yeah, I really did not need that fun little touch.

Freeze ray is steadily nearing completion.

Hello all,

What a year it's been. All I can seem to think to say is, 'Wow'. Some of these most extraordinary things have happened and I'm not even sure where to begin. It's all happened so fast and the only thing I've realized is how out of touch with things I've become.

Oh, not that I'm old and it's one of those generational gap things, not at all. I'm just...I'm not sure how I can explain it. People in the world today are so different in their views, they seem to think that everything happening is new or some how unique. Bad guys getting away with the loot, politicians acting like children, world gone mad, freedoms being experienced for the very first time, it's all so much to take in.

It's little wonder we're starting to question, well, everything. The saying goes, I think, 'these are the times that try men's souls'. I don't know about men's, but mine is sure feeling a little used. See, I made a little joke. It's what some people do when they're nervous and not quite sure what to say. Guess it just helps to have someone to say it to.

Do you need someone to talk to? I've got a free ear and some cheese cake.

Thanks for listening,
Rose Nylund, ask_rose

The rest here @ pfodge

After several years of not cooking, I’ve been getting back into it lately.  I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I have people to cook for.  In Chicago I was pretty much on my own and limited my culinary activities to making myself salads.  Now however, I have my grandmother and parents in close proximity and willing to eat whatever I prepare. 

 

My mother writes and self-publishes books about local history.  She’s planning a party in about two weeks to thank the people who helped her on her latest book.  Since she doesn’t like cooking and I do I’m going to be doing a lot of the food preparation.  The tea I went to on Halloween gave me some great ideas (glazed pumpkin scones, walnut bread with cream cheese and apple slices, pumpkin pie meringues) and I’ve also been watching Food Network for inspiration.

 

Last night I was watching a Halloween themed “Horror Cake Challenge” and I was surprised to see a familiar face.  One of the competing chefs was Michelle Garcia from Bleeding Heart Bakery.  Bleeding Heart is a funky organic bakery in Chicago.  They were originally located in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood right down the street from my sister’s place then a couple years ago they moved to Damen and Belmont, only a couple blocks from the Whole Foods where I worked.  Michelle occasionally came into the market.  She was easy to recognize with her pink dreadlocks and prominent tattoos of mixing bowls and egg beaters.  Unfortunately Michelle didn’t win the Challenge or the $10,000 prize but I always considered her to be a local celebrity of my Chicago days so it was ever so cool to see her on national TV.

A fan fiction writers Nanowrimo in December!

When the crazy of Nano just isn't enough LOL XD

No, seriously, this is a comm where, for the month of December, you work on those fanfics that have been sitting on ff.net, or your desktop (or wherever) for eons that still need to be finished, that you keep meaning to get to, but never have due to writers block, life, etc.

Or, if you have signed up for one of those nifty prompt tables, and never got around to doing anything with them...

Then December is the month to get these fics done :D

So stop by, introduce yourself, pledge to breathe new life into those dusty old unfinished fics :D

Didn't know I was this sick.
