* After ages, I finally changed layout, profile info, and userpics. This time I won against laziness. Don't mock the super simple, super boring header too much - I open Photoshop once a month, it was wise of me not to try any complicated stuff lol. I pimped some of your art journals in my blurb section - if you don't want the link there though, just tell me. :)

* I unexpectedly enjoyed the Lost S4 finale, a lot, and that explains why I'm in a Sawyer-love mood even more than usual.

* The new The Files: I Want To Believe trailer makes me so excited, it's ridiculous.

* Meme stolen from [info]animotus:
Top fives! Give me a topic and I'll list my top 5 things. It can be anything you want as long as it is fandom related in some way (top 5 ships, songs, non-canon ships, books, fandom moments etc.) I'll try to provide pictures for everything, same with songs if the topic includes them.

I'm music-upload inept, so you're warned. If you want to know what I love or hate fandom wise, this is your chance. Shoot!

So... to improve my very low lj skills I was going to enable the pretty option to get e-mail notifications when you receive a reply to a comment, that way I could get smarter and quicker and not lose tons of important entries which has been the rule with me up until now. -_-''

The only problem is... where is it?! *fails*
Help! lol


P.S. I'm still happy about this, Marta will probably understand me:



Aww Football, I wish I still loved you like I used to do several years ago to fully appreciate these moments of squee.

- My throat is killing me. Every time I swallow, it's like a tiny skife stabs its left side. Ugh. The weather must take a freaking decision and stays on cold or warm for more than 2 day in a row, thanks.

- Taylor Kitsch as Gambit? Meh. I can see why they went with a younger casting choice (although the actor they picked never impressed me in FNL), but I think I'll mourn for a while the loss of the chance to see Hugh Jackman and Josh Holloway in the same movie.

- Is it sad that I feel like the only one who isn't squeeing in anticipation of Eggtown in the S/K fandom? I'm more looking forward to when this episode will be just a memory.

Completely unrelated to the title of this lame entry: thanks a lot to Belén, Sara, Silvia and Weronika for listing me in the "You made my day" meme. ♥ I can't do it because I've such a small flist, I would end up just breaking the main rule and writing something for each one of the people there. :)

...because it's premiere day. YESSSS!
It took only... 8 months of waiting. D:

But first: Happy Birthday again to [info]tihana!
I gave you my best wishes yesterday over FF, but it doesn't hurt to do it again here. Hope you had a great day, Tih.

So, hmm, LOST SAWYER IS BACK!
Let's stop pretending I have another reason to be so faithful to this show lol - though I've never lied about the fact that Sawyer > Lost to me. I still have a special place in my heart for Sayid, Kate, Sun, Desmond, Locke - though I'll be watching you this year, John, you've been warned - and few other characters, but... the good old days in which I liked the whole cast, and didn't even get too annoyed at Claire being useless and boring and Jack being a patronizing cry baby? They're gone.

The following are my wishes for this season, I'll try super hard to keep them spoiler-free - It's going to be tough because I'm so spoilered it's not even funny.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for... )

Enjoy the Lost premiere and the end of the hiatus, everyone!
See you tomorrow for comments & reviews. :)

Have fun, eat a lot, and spend these days with the people you love!

As you can see I'm incredibly imaginative when it comes to greetings. :D

I wish to all of you pretty, happy, lovely things. ♥

For once my memory worked fine: Happy Birthday Marta! ([info]elisewin16)
Monday is not the best day to celebrate but hope you could do something with your friends with past wee-end, or are just ignoring the beginning of a new week and going to party tonight anyway. :D
*smooches*

fandom randomness )

P.S. I've realized I have so much to catch up with my flist, I think a couple of you guys will get an e-mail from me because it's the only chance I have to cover everything. :)

P.P.S. My brain will switch on Christmas mode on December 13, so far I haven't done a thing, this will be one busy shopping week.

I really think this is my most useless update ever, but right now I need to keep my mind occupied so... if you want, just ignore it. I promise you aren't missing anything.

-> Just a little more than 1 month to Christmas. I love this period of the year, but then as soon as December 26 arrives, I get sad about another year being almost over and the dozens of things I should have done, or wanted to do, and didn't. That's why I think I'll enjoy this second part of November as much as I can, lol.

-> On the Christmas topic, anyone wants a Christmas card from me? I understand the eventual money issue especially if you have a lot of friends to send one already, plus we could not be close enough to share the handwritten kind of greetings or home addresses, in that case, if you like, just leave your e-mail address for a virtual card :) . (the comments should be screened, if I did everything right, it'as the firtst time I select that option)

-> Lost rant of the day (spoiler cut just in case) )

-> Google pictures meme snagged from... everyone )

I will come around the fandom entry with my comments on all the shows I've been watching lately, I'm just... never in the mood, ehm.
But this must be said: I have no big expectations for a second movie not mythology related (and it's not like the fist one was really good), but still... YAY FOR THE X-FILES 2!

ETA - oh yeah, new layout. Which I still have to finish customizing. *facepalm* The pretty banner was made by [info]ownthesunshine
And I guess it's my sponsored account what makes that little scroll bar pop out without a reason and a purpose XD , but I've decided to adopt it and name it the "obligatory WTF element" of my journal.

First of all, Happy Birthday Rita! ([info]mariarita). Wish you a wonderful day, and as a gift, a positive result for you-know-what soon. *hugs*

I'm still on an handicapped computer, sigh. That means all the new shows? The fall premieres? New movies? I'm totally out of the loop: no player works with this settings, I can't watch a thing, only listen to the audio. YouTube is what's keeping me sane. But it won't last long. Monday I'm going to pay a visit to the computer shop and eat them alive (the first 2 weeks I've been patient, the third only slightly pissed, the fourth I was kept at home by a nasty cold, the fifth will bring out the worst side of me).

So, seeing as the only thing that hasn't been damaged in this old piece of junk is the audio, care to spam me with music suggestions? Everything you like/can think of, but cheap pop.

Just to make this entry a little more personal and not just a rant, a meme I was tagged for by more than one person on my flist :) :
List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself )

And now, a little community pimping:

[info]everything_jh --- Everything Josh Holloway
The previously existing community for news and updates about Josh got mysteriously deleted :/ , and holloway_daily is basically dead if not for some icon post every once in a while. [info]deej240z fixed the lack of a decent lj comm. for Josh, and she's the kind of person who will take care of it in the best way possible. So, if you're a Josh/Sawyer fan, I'll suggest you to become a member and/or a watcher.

[info]skate_stillness --- Skate Stillness
Love Sawyer/Kate? Are you an icon maker? Go join and partecipate in [info]weronikasawyer's community. :)

Off to read your entries, 'bye! :)

Hey everyone!

It looks like my poor computer is ready to wave the final goodbye to me. It has had some issues recently, and although the technician fixed everything the best he could, I felt it was being a lot slower than in the past. Yesterday afternoon, the video card broke, so right now I'm posting with a 640x480 screen resolution, and 16 colors, because the computer loads all the programs only with the minimum settings on, lol. The "psychedelic" colors are blinding me. @_@
The good news is that I can't say I wasn't expecting it, my computer is over 6 years old, never gave me major troubles and managed just fine until a month or so ago, so we'll part in the best terms possible. But with 64MB of RAM, and an hard disk of 20GB, not even a CD burner... I have no intention to spend money in getting it fixed once again, and I'll go with a new one.

The bad part? At the end of next week I'll be broke. -_-

So, any suggestion/advice? I've already looked around but I could use some more tips. :) So far I've got the message that Windows Vista = Teh Evil, so I'll try to get XP (I'm still using Millenium *blushes*)

And now I'm going to catch up with the tons of flist entries I missed, as my usual.

P.S. Summer is over. *pouts*

Hey there! *waves*

I'm going to reply to all the friend entries and comments here as soon as I've posted this "technical" post. :)

1. The trailer of 'Whisper' is online!

http://video.prodigymsn.com/ProdigyMSN.Videos/videos.aspx?t=1&v=e13d7907-ecd1-4253-b690-3476686ef406#

Just when I was starting to lose hope a little. :D

2. Watched the 'Californication' pilot

Some thoughts, spoilers alert )

3. Does someone know how to rip a clip off a bigger video? With a free program? (Because my computer is old and I'm broke *embarrassed* ) For instance, I have a video file 40 minutes long (around 350 MB), and I want to make a clip of a single scene (5-10 minutes of footage). Just the name of the software would be great, then I will search for it online and figure out how to use it on my own (hopefully). Thanks in advance!

- Yesterday was my father's b-day, we had a good time even if usually my family doesn't do anything special for this kind of celebrations. I cooked! And miraculously everything prepared with my hands turned out pretty good. I hope I'm a decent judge though, because my dad is too sweet and supportative to ever say anything bad about something cooked either by me or my mother, he would swallow everything and even smile if it were disgusting. :D

- I feel so lost when I come online and I'm surrounded by all this Harry Potter buzz. It's everywhere! Having read only the first two books and never found anything so great about the story and the fantasy atmosphere, I feel like an alien surfing the web these days. Hope the last book of the saga will please the fans or next weak it will get worse, lol.

- I'm always late about these things, but I've just seen the trailer for the tv movie Razor airing in the fall and... I miss you, Battlestar Galactica *sigh* , and I'm happy over every little Emmy nomination you got.

- Speaking of Emmys nominations... how much they suck?! I never had great hope for the "underdogs" I usually root for (Josh inclued), but... Masi Oka (adorable but not Emmy-worthy at all)? T.R. Knight? 'Heroes'?! GREY'S ANATOMY AND ITS WORST SEASON? (That show and his soap-opera-ish stuff has really sickened me). Little consolation: Ellen Pompeo wasn't nomimated. Because, seriously. I don't know how I feel about Lost not making the Best Drama Series list, considering how mad I am about a lot of things seen last season (and just to say it once and for all: I didn't like the flashforward twist, don't care if all the critics and fans in the world found it the coolest thing ever happened in a tv show). But when I look at the other shows in the final 5, it totally deserved it.
Go Terry O'Quinn.

- Happy Birthday to Josh Holloway! I heart that man so much.

Happy Birthday to [info]addicted2much!

Maria, considering the present I've sent to you by mail is going to make it to U.S.A. around... October, I've thought of a virtual gift for today. From a Hollowhore to a fellow Hollowhore,

Our James and the good old days of Season One )

Very image heavy, and I mean it. :P I hope you're not having troubles with the high speed connection again or I'm going to crash your browser, lol.

Question: What does a Josh Holloway fangirl do when she finds out Whisper has been released in Turkey on July 13?
Answer: She spends 45 minutes of a lazy Sunday afternoon googling Ölüm Fısıltısı (the Turkish title of the movie) and checking like 10 pages of the search engine results.
Results: It finally gives its fruits and she comes across HQ stills of the film:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/canburak/sets/72157594183119251/

I hope the owner won't hunt me down and sue me, but I *have* to post at least this one because

Josh's looking so freakin' yummy )

The movie probably sucks (low budget, abuse of horror cliches according to the plot summary...) but I want to watch it anyway. It is supposed to get released in Belgium on August 29, do you think there is the chance I'll watch Josh on the big screen here in Italy at the end of the summer?

For every person of my flist who doesn't care at all about Josh and Lost and my crazy fandom obsessions... tomorrow I'll post a somehow more "real life" related entry :) . Sorry about how little I post, I'm still uncomfortable on livejournal because I never seem to have something about myself interesting enough to justify an entry, and I have some issue about going too much into my private life online. Just want to sincerely thank all of you who didn't cut me from your friend list (again, considering this is my 245th coming back from a hiatus, lol), because you had any right to do that. *smooches*
