Star Trek WIP [15 Jun 2009|05:58pm] [ mood | accomplished ] Because I feel like I might actually work on this if I post about my progress, here's what I've done so far on the calendar. ( Six-ish down! ) Comments: 10 pints - Save the Took.

Photoshop Elements [08 Jun 2009|10:51pm] [ mood | awesome ] I have discovered the blur-sharpen-smudge tool in Elements. The battle between Corel and Photoshop is over. Comments: 4 pints - Save the Took.

More Star Trek doodles [04 Jun 2009|04:29pm] So this is kind of a random offering... the product of me being fascinated by faces, and apparently too lazy to draw anything else. ^^! ( Crew of the Starship Enterprise, etc. ) Comments: 8 pints - Save the Took.

GIP [23 May 2009|12:48pm] I figured the Trek-related icon I wanted to make would be impossibly large. And it is, so I can't use it, but I wanted to share it anyway. In other news, I'm having fun with my tablet. So far, I think I'll mostly be using it for coloring drawings I've done by hand, rather than using the tablet to draw with. Realizing how long it's going to take me to be comfortable using Corel is a bit scary though. I'm also concerned that the program crashed on me three times last night - at least it gives you the option to save first. I'll have to report back in about six months. I have a feeling I'll either love it and use it all the time, or I'll only use the pen to play Solitaire with. Comments: 3 pints - Save the Took.

Star Trek ficlet [18 May 2009|05:02pm] [ mood | groovy ] yahtzee63 is having a ficlet challenge for the new Star Trek movies, and I actually wrote something for it! I'm reposting it here, because I never write fic. And post it. Under this username. ( Prompt #82 Uhura and Chekov, accents ) I need to make some new icons. Comments: 10 pints - Save the Took.

Star Trek character thumbnails [12 May 2009|09:08pm] [ mood | inspired ] ( sketchbook page ) Comments: 22 pints - Save the Took.

Movin' on up [12 May 2009|07:12pm] [ mood | giddy ] Guys, guys, GAISE!! I just ordered this, and it's all Star Trek's fault. Well, sort of. My interest was sparked, my job gave me an excuse to do some research, and when I found out about the software bundle (I was planning on getting PS Elements this year anyway), I was sold. (For those of you disappointed by the random Star Trek reference without the goods, related doodles done the old fashioned way coming up shortly.) ^_^ Comments: 3 pints - Save the Took.

[09 May 2009|11:20pm] [ mood | blissful ] Short Version: Star Trek was badass. ( Long Version ) Comments: Save the Took.

The joke's not funny anymore... [27 Apr 2009|10:22pm] [ mood | pissed off ] You all are familiar with my TV woes. Here's yet another one - tonight was the Heroes finale, and as I wrote last week, I was actually REALLY looking forward to it. At about five till nine, I go upstairs and switch on the TV. Our NBC station? Gone. This has happened before, on rare occasions, but has never managed to be so superbly timed. After wrangling with the antenna and dragging the TV across the room, I was able to pick up sound from the DC channel (the station we actually get is in Maryland). I checked back every commercial break. About 3/4ths of the way in, the Maryland station is inexplicably back. I'm going to try to get to Panera to watch it tomorrow again, but I just couldn't wait. I'll post about the actual episode (OMG!) when I'm finished being pissed at NBC 25. And next season? I'll be cursing DirecTV when the satellite falls out of the sky during one of my shows.

Heroes 3.23 and 3.24 [21 Apr 2009|12:01am] [ mood | excited ] ( 1961 ) ( I Am Sylar ) Comments: Save the Took.

TeeVee Spoilers [11 Apr 2009|02:54pm] [ mood | grateful ] So even though I never, ever seem to post anymore, I do still read my flist. Honest, I do! Even if I rarely comment. >.> So I feel it's worth letting you guys know I'm behind in several of my shows. I see Lost spoilers all the time, and it's kinda killed any desire for me to watch the series once it's over as I'd planned. No worries - this is not a big deal since I was never that into Lost anyway, but it reminds me I need to be careful what I read about the shows I am really into. I'm still watching The Office, 30 Rock, and Heroes weekly. Heroes has actually gotten good again lately, but I can't bring myself to post about it, and I don't know if that's a reflection of where I'm at right now, or the fact that the show has burned me too many times before. I'm planning on watching the current seasons of Supernatural and Doctor Who as soon as I get the chance, but it's been hard to keep up. I watch both shows online, so it either takes a full day to load and watch an episode (if I'm lucky enough to find it on YouTube), or I have to schedule time to find a place with free WiFi where I can sit for an hour. I went to Panera for late lunch/early dinner after work a few times, but after work most days, I am so ready to go home. So I missed the most recent Doctor Who Christmas special (and have no idea where I'd find it at this point), and the last ep of SPN I managed to watch was 'After School Special'. You guys are amazing about cutting stuff, but I just wanted to put a reminder out there. Especially since I just saw a link to some DW spoilers I really, really want to click, but won't. (Also, I love you all for the non-spoilery cuts because they often remind me a new episode is coming up, or warn me about spoilers posted elsewhere - I've avoided reading FW recently unless it's a direct link because I saw spoilery SPN wank mentioned.) For my part, I'll try to skim past and not to read too much into the "OMG BEST EP EVAR!" cut-tags. ;) Comments: Save the Took.

Vampires of Venice [13 Mar 2009|12:38pm] [ mood | geeky ] This needs to be a book, like, 35 minutes ago. Because I want to read it now. Comments: Save the Took.

Heroes 3.15 [09 Feb 2009|11:25pm] [ mood | happy ] That... may have been the best episode since the end of Season 1. ( Trust and Blood ) Also? The presidential press conference ended just at the right time. I ♥ my president. Also, also? That was my first time seeing the Watchmen trailer, and OMG. I may have to love this movie. Comments: Save the Took.

Music Meme [29 Nov 2008|12:59pm] [ mood | getting sick, maybe? ] Gacked from a bunch of you all. I am such a fifteen year-old girl. Also, I think some of these songs are repeats from the last time this meme went round - my Windows Media Player likes what it likes. When in doubt, I posted more of the lyrics rather than less. Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle. Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly. Step 4: Looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING! Though, really, can I stop you? Step 5: If you like the game post your own. ( Guesses? ) Comments: 10 pints - Save the Took.

Heroes 3.07 [10 Nov 2008|10:29pm] [ mood | okay ] ( Holy Retcon, Batman! ) Comments: 2 pints - Save the Took.

In the final hours... [04 Nov 2008|06:31pm] [ mood | elated ] I'm too scattered to do a full report right now, but thanks to cokerry's suggestion we meet up in Manassas for Barack Obama's final campaign rally, I went. So did my mother, who still wanted to get her book signed. ( pictures behind the cut ) Comments: 8 pints - Save the Took.

Obama Rally [23 Oct 2008|06:36pm] [ mood | still amazed ] So. Yesterday. I am going to be totally long-winded about this, as it's going to be the only account I write, and I want to record it for posterity. ( Story and Pictures ) Comments: 7 pints - Save the Took.

Leesburg Rally [22 Oct 2008|11:27pm] [ mood | indescribable ] My mom got to shake his hand. Pictures to come when I get a chance! Comments: 3 pints - Save the Took.

icon shipping meme and GIP [21 Oct 2008|10:58pm] [ mood | silly ] From yahtzee63! Go to your icons page in Livejournal and look at the first two icons (the one on the right and the one on the left). Pair up the characters in the two icons. Go to the next two and do the same until you have a list of ships. Then...well, write 'em. ( the ships ) My mother's going to try to take the afternoon off tomorrow so we can go see Obama speak in Leesburg. Wish us luck! Comments: 3 pints - Save the Took.

Heroes 3.06 [20 Oct 2008|10:39pm] [ mood | jubilant ] Sorry, but what was that sound? I think I recognize it, but it's been so long, I can hardly tell. Oh wait - it's the sound of Monday night AWESOME. ( Dying of the Light ) Comments: 2 pints - Save the Took.
