Tremendulent!

My Weekend To Do List:

~Watch The Ghost and Mrs Muir
~Do a ‘monkey brain' exercise with Nora and possibly Captain Alec, but I kinda know him already, Nora’s the one I’m wibbly on
~Type up what I’ve handwritten so far
~Clean the kitchen
~Make stew and dumplings (Sunday)

I think I can do all that.

And since it’s Friday, have a picture of Karl Urban doing the Vulcan salute.



Happy Friday!

FRIDAY!!!!

I've been invited to go geo-caching and wassailing tomorrow. If the weather continues to be as nice as it currently it, I might go.

Sooo, since it's Friday and it was a long week, I'm posting pictures of pretty people. Just 'cause. :D

This will kill your dial-up, btw!

( just one look at you )

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!

It's Karl! For Judge Dredd! aj, look! Y'all this movie is going to be SO BAD AND YET FEEL SO GOOD!.

( KAAARRLLL )

Happy Friday!

Have some pretty pictures!

'Cause, you know, why not?

( People I'm currently diggin' )

Happy Wednesday!

So, who had to go to the Royal Welsh Show yesterday, stand in a marquee for eight hours straight, in the pouring rain and mud?

Yeah. Miserable day.

The shining point was when I finally got to go get lunch (at 3 pm!) I wandered past one of the show arenas where, I kid you not, the Dancing JCB's were, well dancing, to the theme from The Terminator. For a finale, they raised their shovels and sparks flew out. It was pretty fantastic.

However, my feet still feel wet.

So, Oxoniensis' Porn Battle is underway. Is it totally missing the point if I want to write my own prompt?

And since it's Wednesday and the rain hasn't stopped and I'm so making a huge pot of garlic chicken soup when I get home, have some pretty pictures.

( but i just can't be with you like this anymore, alejandro )

Happy Wednesday!

So, I saw someone asking on their journal who is the best fandom people have ever been involved in. I'll be honest, I've only this past year really gotten involved in fandom and visited multiple comms and read the meta and so on.

But, I have to say, hands down, THE best fandom I've come into contact with is the McCoy/Chapel folks over at mccoy_chapel and on my flist. They are kind, they are supportive, they kill me dead with their creativity and writing/artistic skills and are just plain lovely.

What are some other ones that you've enjoyed?

Other things making me happy include:

1. My new layout! I've never used an originally customized one before and I love it.

2. The earrings I'm currently wearing. I went digging in my jewelry box this morning and found my silver manatee earrings I bought eons ago in Florida.

3. It's raining and while I'm not keen on walking into town in it, it smells gorgeous and we do actually need it.

4. This recipe -( behind the cut )

5. These fellas. ( Teh lovelies behind the cut )

Happy Wednesday!

I'm sure most of you have seen this, but in case you haven't, here's the trailer for The Price of Milk with Karl Urban. I've kind of watched it repeatedly for when he says "Coows!" It just kills me. And makes me want to move to New Zealand, because, dear Lord is it beautiful over there. (The scenery, not just Karl!)



I made some awesome Guinness Stew last night, so here is the recipe to try it for yourself. I actually made it without the beef and added more potatoes, carrots, mushrooms (thickly sliced) and red peppers. It works really well as a veggie dish. You can use a substitute for the beef bouillon as well!

On a completely different note, there is a gentleman outside my (rented) cottage painting the exterior wall. I don't really mind this, because it really needed to be re-painted. However, he just appeared earlier this week and started hacking and sanding away at the plaster before he started painting. Our landlords told us nothing about this. My husband, who works from home, all of a sudden had some guy outside the window banging away and there are paint chips in my flower pots.

Am I being unreasonable to think that maybe this deserved advance warning? My landlords are rather elderly and probably don't think of this as being my house as it is their property and therefore they can do whatever they want. But, a note through the door would have been nice.

As much as I adore and lust after respect Karl Urban, I may never forgive him for making me watch The Irrefutable Truth About Demons. I know it's got the infamous tongue scene and other lovely moments, but... Just, wow.

On the other hand, John Cho, how are you so adorable in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. How did I miss this film? Why are there no sliders in Wales? Whyyyy?

Or Taco Bell. That was always my late night snack of choice.
