piecemeal

- Having wrestled Microsoft Access into submission (I could use it like a pro in Year 9, thanks to a dull term's work of database manipulation in IT), I now have a mostly-updated address list. If you have not commented to this post here and you would like to be on this list, PLEASE DO SO NOW.

- In other seasonal news, LJ is offering the Give More deal, which means that if you buy paid time as a gift for another user between now and the end of the year then they get the 100 userpics add-on FREE for the duration of the time that you purchased. THIS IS SUCH A COOL IDEA. It's also amusing that you can buy someone a lump of coal for their userinfo page, but I find the concept of those kinds of purchases to be a ghastly waste of money. If you want to buy someone pointless pixels, at least buy them THEIR CHOICE of pointless pixels, ie. icon space. (I suppose that $1 is not exactly exorbitant, but the miserly uni student in me still cries out in dismay at the very thought.)

- Working my way slowly through my to-do list. Currently sticking some files on DVD for my mother, who is even more obsessed with Doctor Who than I am (no, really, she recently rang me to spazz about how she was watching Jude solely for Christopher Eccleston and how she had discovered that David Tennant had a bit role in it too) and who I recently showed the Torchwood pilot. She wants more, and wants more now.

- I am on an enormous PILOTS high. It's great fun.

- This high has been in no way dimmed by [livejournal.com profile] ingrid_m's fantastic fic The Four Cornered Stone. It's post-'Unfinished Business' Lee/Dee, Dee/Gaeta and Lee/Kara and it's kind of excruciating if you are in any way fond of Lee, but at it's also very wicked, smart, and dark. Like that horrible 99% cocoa chocolate.

- Also along BSG lines: tomorrow's episode, 'The Passage', is the one written by Jane Espenson! Whoo! Battlestar Wiki informs me that it has lots of science (hurrah!) and that it is Kat-centric. If Ms. Espenson writes me Kat/Racetrack subtext of ANY KIND then I will die...pleased.

- If anyone can work out WTF is going on in this moodtheme picture of mine, I would be very interested to hear it.

I see someone's bottom, jeans-clad. Perhaps a head of hair on the right? The glowy thing on what I assume is her shoulderblade's a bit of a mystery, though — burning coal, perhaps? It's seasonal!

Hmm, Espenson. Will this be TWO STRAIGHT WEEKS of Tris-Views-Battlestar? Only Beck knows for sure! Stay tuned, or (fittingly) don't.

Re the moodtheme... possibly the person pictured was so bouncy that she bounced right over and is milliseconds from a painful head injury?

I can not watch 'The Passage'. Yet. Must finish first disc. These stupid 12 and 14-hour days are really cutting into my tv time. >:( Tomorrow, though. Last meeting that's stupid-long this year, I hope.

I like 99% cocoa chocolate . . .

I know it's Gwen, I am just trying to work out where the hell it comes from. And yeah, what that bright patch is. Weird.

I THINK IT WILL BE. Although you could let us watch you and tell you if it is pilotriffic enough to be worth your while.

You're probably right. The character in question is always being injured in one way or another.

If only Billy were around, Jane could have written the Day in the Life of Billy episode OF MY DREEEEEAMS.
