Just a quick one

Final stages of packing. We're off tomorrow morning. This will undoubtedly be my last entry before the long flight to LA. 

Not sure how often I'll get online when I do, I'll make sure to say hi and check on you, flist!

See you second week of July!

Take care!

Last weekend at home...

It's amazing the stuff you find you need to do before you go off on holidays. Makes you need a holiday just for that to begin with!

Hubby left me this wonderful link to read Friday morning. Anyone with daughters in their teens or younger, check this out:

THIRTEEN

You'll never sleep again.  :)

So how many of you have recently found out that one (or many) of your favourite TV shows have been canceled?

Journeyman's demise was announced a while back. While I watched it and was intrigued, it never really fully caught me. So won't cry for that one. Jericho, I found out some time back as well... actually even before I watched what was to become the very last episode. And I think it's a bit of a shame. Can't say it's my favourite but I did like Major Beck. And he was just getting interesting. Men in Trees. That I'm a bit miffed. It was silly, funny, and easy-watching when your brain is too fried to watch anything with real substance. Plus it had plenty of eye candy and there was something really relaxing about Elmo. ::sigh:: I'll miss that one for sure. Moonlight is last and more recent on the list for me and that's a real shame. There was something not quite right on this show, something that prevented you for taking it too seriously, but it was good entertainment. I found myself coming back every week. There's apparently talks that CW might pick it up. I really hope so.

Here's a list for the others...

Canceled! A Scorecard of Canceled TV Series and Shows in Danger

Watched season finale for CSI last night. Wow. Won't say more. And Bones this week... tell me that's not the season finale or I'm gonna die if I have to wait that long! Supernatural... haven't watched it yet. It is the finale too, isn't it? Gods... I'm not sure I'll be able to. Anyone wants to come sit with me and hold my hand?

Now I need to go sew some buttons! How exciting.

I am Iron Man

Cue Black Sabbath's classic, please. And play it LOUD. :)



A kick ass movie. Simply kick ass. Love it.

I'm not a big fan of the superheroes movie genre - except for The Incredibles... :) And I gotta admit I did like Batman Begins and X-Men... but this one here is in a league of its own. Maybe the fact that I'm a solid fan of Robert Downey Jr. helps, and that I tend to like Jon Favreau's quirkiness too. In any case, a very enjoyable adventure that I can barely wait to repeat. And thanks to , who convinced me it was only the trailer who sucked. I would have missed a very good movie.

The Fictional Character Who-Would-You-Shag Meme

If you'd shag them put the name in bold.
If you'd shag them after a few drinks put the name in italics.
If you'd shag them only if they have protection underline the name.
If you wouldn't shag or don't know who they are, leave as is.
If you wouldn't shag them at gunpoint, cross the name out.

Add one or more character names and/or fandoms of your own. Once the list gets long enough to be unwieldy (use your judgment) start removing one name for every name you add.
