Got to try to get some writing done!

Got to admit, I don't really remember much of last night's episode. It doesn't help that I was severely distracted by other things like dinner and whatnot. It was better than last week's episode, I think, or I'm just in a better mood about it.

I still dislike Dan.

The quiche I mentioned wanting to make earlier today turned out really well! I accidentally bought two pie crusts, doubled the recipe and now my dish is the feature for tomorrow night's dinner. Not too bad for my first time, I would say. :)

And hey! Have you heard about mojo yet? Or heard about it and wondered what the hell all the fuss is about? Once you can get the damn thing to work (I'm not going to lie, it's a pain in the ass) it's pretty cool. You can connect to the itunes lists of other people you add to your programme and dl directly from them and vice versa.

My name on it is Marishna (go figure, right?) so add me, leave me your names and I'll add you. We'll share music. It'll be beautiful.

I don't have the time to reply to each and every comment I get on my cap posts but I do appreciate every single one. It takes me at least three hours from downloading the episode to posting the caps, but only a few seconds for you to leave a comment of thanks. Comments are happy-making. :D

OMG OMG OMGOMMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. Twilight trailer! TWILIGHT TRAILER! I know the movie is going to be so bad and cheesy, just like the books, only LIVE AND IN COLOUR but HOLY SHIT. I SO want to see that movie. RIGHT NOW. I remember reading the blow-by-blow someone involved with the movie posted to IMDB, I think, about the teaser (and likely got fired over) and it was amazing then. It was even more amazing SEEING the damn thing.

As of the last time I checked my fic still hasn't been claimed for art over at spn_j2_bigbang, which kinda sucks, but there are WAAAAAAY fewer artists (like, less than half? Maybe? Does anyone know the exact numbers?) than writers this year so it's to be expected. 112 fics, people! 112! How awesome is that? My fic is near the bottom of the list on the J2 list so it's easy to be overlooked, especially when people are skimming through, trying to find the first fic that catches their fancy to claim it before someone else does.

Annnd, I posted textures! Click the image for the link.

I appreciate every single comment I get on my cap posts. There are often too many comments to respond to every single one of them but I try my best to respond to any questions somewhat promptly (month-old comments ftl!). It takes me well over 3 hours from downloading to posting to get all the caps up, and usually moreso to finish the galleries, but it only takes a few seconds to leave a comment saying 'thanks'. It may not seem like much but I like seeing that people enjoy the effort. :)

Saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall tonight. LOVED it. So funny. I'm excited for the dvd already. Mila Kunis is a TOTAL girl crush now. I'm even making quote icons from it. SO MUCH FUN! I liked it better than Knocked Up but maybe not as much as 40 year-old Virgin. Maybe a little more. I don't know. Either way, awesomesauce all around. And Jason Segal? Has nothing to be ashamed of. ;)

I don't know what's changed from the start of the season and now. I tried this show when it first started airing and I just couldn't get into it. It really wasn't what I thought it was going to be. Then I caught the Christmas episode and I totally re-discovered the show. I was quite excited for this episode and am getting moreso for the rest of the season. Bring on the bitchiness!

I don't know if I'll be able to cap next week's episode Monday night when it first airs. It'll depend on whether or not my internet installation goes in without a hitch.

First off- spn_freshblood passed along the CW's contact number. By now most people have heard that after the new Supernatural episodes will air they're taking it off the schedule (not permanently!) to make way for Reaper reruns after Smallville. While that's fine and dandy, and a nice attempt to get new viewers, it's a little maddening to see them NOT do the same for SPN.

I called between 5-6pm-ish Jan 7th and someone was at the switchboard to direct my call to the ... something line. Viewer's... something? I forget. While I wasn't able to talk to anyone directly I WAS able to leave a message that will reportedly be listened to, transcribed and passed on to the people in charge. I left a very polite, positive message explaining that I was calling from Canada, I loved the show and I would really, REALLY like to see reruns continue to air since Reaper is being given that opportunity. I didn't leave my phone number but I might call back later in the week and try to get someone on the phone, just to be able to relay my concerns and hopes in person. The original post is here at spn_freshblood and explains where the number came from and someone else's (positive) experience calling.

The number is 1-818-977-2500 if you want to call and leave a short, upbeat and--above all--polite and respectful message. This isn't just about getting the show in reruns after the new episodes are done, this is also about showing how much we love the show and want it locked into place on the schedule for the future (however that will play out). From the account at the post I linked from spn_freshblood the woman from CW who called the fan back was surprised at how eager fans were to see the show in reruns, how dedicated the fanbase was. That's really sad and just another reason to call and get your voice out there in support of the show.

Secondly, I has caps! SPN 3.08 caps will be coming soon, I hope, but my internet is slooooooooow right now and it's like pulling teeth to ul/dl. So, in the meantime, have some Gossip Girl caps. Once I can get my hands on the rest of the eps I'll be capping those ones, too.

Eeee! spn_j2_bigbang is almost ready to kick off for round 2! I have a few ideas that I need to work out but I'm going to give my all to get it done again this year! :D But it WON'T be another monster like last year! I also signed up for abouttwoboys, dontbendthatway, spn_apocasmut and my Sweet Charity fic #2 to worry about. I think the death!ficathon and the picture prompt challenge might be delayed a little bit, maybe until next month. By then the deadline can be into March and we can get these other things out of the way. The death!ficathon will likely be first, since that one was voted to be first, and then it'll hopefully free up more time later in the winter for people to do the picture prompt challenge. I was thinking of signing up for a Gossip Girl fic exchange, too, but I don't know... *marge simpson grumble*

I made a lot of progress on the fanmix meme from before Christmas! These things are turning into real fanmixes!

I checked Walmart for a calendar today and they were still 8$. To hell with that, I'll wait until they're cheaper, thanks.
