Personal Quandry

Cottle doesn't give a frak
Random:

You offer to help a person meet a deadline. In the end it helps you too, but you can’t feel you were suckered into offering to help in the first place. While helping isn’t extraordinary, the actual work is slightly inappropriate in that is is the other person’s job. If you back out now, you feel you’ve broke your word, but at the same time, it isn’t exactly proper to help out someone who will claim all the credit. What would you do?

Meme: My Life According To...

Another meme stolen yet again from [info]daybreak777:
Using only episode names from one TV show, cleverly answer these questions. Try not to repeat an episode title. Repost as "My life according to ..."

I think I had more fun re-reading the episode synopses of the series I choose. Now I suspect most people in my f-list aren't familiar with the TV Series I chose, but I do hope other people play too.

Pick your Show:


Pick your Show: Northern Exposure )


So, what's your life like?

Favorite Character Meme

I had so much fun playing ergo so am stealing this meme from [info]daybreak777


The Favourite Character Meme:
1. Write a list of 15 of your fandoms; including films, TV series, books and stage shows.
2. Ask people on your flist to pick a fandom and guess who your favourite character is from it.
3. If they guess right, you must explain why this character is or became your favourite.
4. If you share this fandom with the poster guess who their favourite is too.

I can't really say I am a fangirl for anything except BSG, but here are some series I follow (or used to follow):

1. CHUCK - Casey
2. TRUE BLOOD - Jessica
3. Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse Book Series - not sookie, bubbamaryanne/maenad  
4. David Eddings' The BELGARIAD series - not Polgara
5. Naomi Novik's His Majesty's Dragon Series  
6. NORTHERN EXPOSURE
7. 3rd ROCK FROM THE SUN - Sally
8. DOLLHOUSE - Boyd
9. THE BIG BANG THEORY
10. 1776 (the musical) - John Adams
11. Candy Candy (gosh I hope someone else gets this)
12 Lord of the Rings - Boromir
13. Start Trek (Reboot Movie) - Sulu
14. Favorite Shakespeare female character (who is not in my favorite play which is Othello) - Beatrice
15. Favorite Greek myth MORTAL - Iphigenia not Odysseus, Cassandra, Bresies, Chryseis, Helen, Antigone,Elektra

Back from Hiatus?

Hi y'all!  miss me?? Well, I MISSED you!

Mea Culpa etc. about not participating these past months.  I was truly incommunicado:  first on trips (to Australia and San Diego), then an injuried right hand (too tedious to explain), and some anti-social laziness lately.  So I have been lightly lurking the past few weeks.  I'm trying to catch up on ficcs and entries I've missed BUT ...  its just too much!!!  Ergo, I'm granting myself an amnesty for reading and responding (or not reading and responding?), okay folks?

So, what did I miss???????

Apologies from being AWOL

  • Apr. 4th, 2009 at 8:35 PM
Kara Thrace of South Park
 Hello F-List!

First, apologies for not being around.  I’m not lurking – I really haven’t been around LJ.  I’ve been genuiniely busy with RL (planning for two trips this summer) but when I have time to think about BSG – well, I’m not emotionally ready to mourn with everyone out there just yet.  So pardon my distance for just a bit longer.

A pithy thought on the Finale... )

Tonight though I really miss the anticipation for a new episode of BSG.  *Sighs* I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I may miss BSG-hiatus-hell.  I probably will re-start reading LJ and y’all's thoughts.  Be assured I will participate (and not just lurk) – just pardon me if I seem a little bit too late to the conversation yet again!   

On second note, I will be on a family vacation from this coming Monday for about 2 weeks.  I’m not sure what the internet situation will like be like so I might even be AWOL yet again.

I really DO want to stay connected to the fandom (LUV U ALL!!!!!), but I just needed this mini-break.   I plan to start looking at my F-list starting March 21!  Yikes that’s many many pages, so if any of you have a particular post you think I should read RFN, please do mention it!  I might even clean up my reaction draft and post it if I get some time (or decide to procrastinate from packing).

Incoherent but energized!

Sometime A Great Notion

  • Jan. 19th, 2009 at 8:57 PM
Kara Thrace of South Park

OY! My brain may be a little broke. I’m trying to not to read anyone else reactions before I post mine own, because if I read others’ perspectives I might censor myself. But this season is my last chance to post MY reactions, so here goes:

Warning, here be spoilers for BSG 411/413 )
Phew, Now I’m free to read what y’all are thinking.

(Please, I’d like remain spoiler-free, but speculation is more than welcome.)

No Spoilers Please!

Just in case people in my f-list did not know this already, just a Rreminder:

THIS
IS A
Spoiler Free
Zone

Capice? Comprende? Sigue? OK!

I love to speculate, and think about it, this moment is the last time we can speculate and imagine and pray for anything. After the last 10 episodes air, that's it.

No more daydreaming, no more 'OMG did they just do that'? Let's not spoil this magic time, ok?

I've usually been spoiler-lite (watching SciFi promos) but after Season 4.0, I no longer even watch those.

That being said, for all those who do not share my credo, I appreciate all those LJ cuts you guys will use as well as any heads-up warnings to stay away from certain sites. Thanks in advance!

But for those who do post spoilers willy-nilly, just an advance-peek in the curse I am currently brewing:
May the wrath of the Lords of Kobol follow you: Dogs will pee on you, cats shall scratch you, and rats will invade your home. May angry Head!Six haunt you, Adama glare at you, Roslin airlock you, Starbuck smack you, and Tigh serve you tea.

The only time whining is acceptable

(non-BSG related, but can't seem to lj cut this)

I never thought I'd see the day when I would say, "I'm rooting for the Beauty Queens on the Amazing Race." (Wha..? But you think BQs are flotation devices...) That's Amazing Race ASIA of course (available on AXN in the Philippines). They're the only likable team that has a chance to win. And I'm pretty sure THESE BQ aren't floatable.

This year the ARA teams seem chosen so that not one team is grossly more athletic than the others (no all-male extreme sports team here like last year). In fact the three all-male teams all could use more gym time. Strangely there's only one couple "dating" among three co-eds teams (cousins & siblings); hopefully this couple will be WAY less dysfunctional than last year's squabbling marrieds.

I also expect more meltdowns from this cast: There's a self-proclaimed "Heiress" and her actress friend; there's Mai*, who claims her "parents brought her up as a Little Princess" and she CHOSE her partner because HE can carry her bag AND be strong, not like her, cuz y'know "I'm a girl"; there's one Fazzie (or was that A.D.) who argues that lazier people can complete the tasks faster; and finally there is an only son, 'who is the sole recipient of my entire family's affection'. SNERK!!! Let the WHINING begin!!!

*Mai and Oliver were first to finish yet still managed to have a blow up after receiving a cash prize: Oliver complained that he did all the work (possible true), so Mai got all defensive and potty-mouth at him ALL THE WHILE FANNING HERSELF! (oye suplada!)

BSG panel @ SD Comic Con '08

Kara Thrace of South Park
Sorry I haven't really been present in LJ lately, and I think I'll absent a little while longer. 

I wanted to post about my experience at Comic-Con San Diego, but I'm getting the flu so it might take me awhile. Yes I did go to the BSG Panel (of course) and I hope to write up my impressions and report what happened there.   Right now I've re-learning how to upload and post pictures.



Preview:       

I  put the the rest of my photos (that weren't crap) in  this webpage:

From [info]tracyj23  and [info]cherylad 

What dog breed are you? I'm a Jack Russell Terrier! Find out at Dogster.com

Strangely enough I was thinking of getting a dog and had narrowed down the choices to Whippet (is introverted like me) and Belgian Malois (sp? a friend has puppies). So I guess I better add Jack Russell to the list.

Now the site says describes the dog as "The Artist"  which,
You, my friend, are an artiste! Fuelled by a hounding sense of creativity and an untameable desire to express yourself, you see the world through rose-colored glasses one day and then wrestle the curtains closed and turn off the lights so you can ponder life the next. Your dog-eared journal is filled with brilliant ideas about rescuing the universe, yet you have trouble training your noggin on any one of them for any significant amount of time. Your originality occasionally manifests itself as performance art, and you love showing off (shy!)your amazing athletic abilities (What?)in front of an audience. When it comes to taking on the leader of the pack, you’re not afraid to sink your teeth in - and won't loosen your grip until you've gotten your point across.
