Friends Cut

I've done a relatively small friends cut. It was the final stage of the thinning out of my flist that started last month and this time it was some mutual friends who got the ax. :(

I don't do cuts lightly (or often), so this wasn't easy for me. I mostly cut people who:
- Haven't posted in months.
- Have only done Twitter posts.
- I haven't really made a connection with.

However, if you feel I shouldn't have defriended you, feel free to drop me a comment and I'll add you back.

I'm sorry to those who I've hurt by defriending, but I had to do this for myself. My flist has grown too large for me to keep up with. I hope you understand.

Randomness

** Will end up taking the laptop back to the Mac Store Monday or Tuesday about this blue tint problem. The weird thing is, if I hit certain keys or press down on the case, it goes away, and lately I've been able to keep it away for long periods of time. But it's still an annoying problem and something that shouldn't be happening, so back she'll go.

Btw, the part that went bad was the Logic Board (the motherboard on a Mac). Best part? We weren't charged for it because of an extended warranty that we didn't even know we had! So we only paid some $50 for the diagnostic & the labor! Awesomeness! They've also offered to update my Mac to Leopard w/a backup of all my files for free (I have the discs for installing Leopard, I just never did it). :D

** Finally bought "The Fall" on DVD Friday night and showed it to my mom. She liked it....said it was "different" even though there were some parts that didn't make sense. Too crazy though how her big concern at the end of the film was that she couldn't find a credit for the monkey, Wallace, in the end credits! LOL! She even made me replay them so she could look! "Why didn't they credit the monkey?" My mom cracks me up sometimes. :P

** I'm staying away from most of the reports, pics, etc from Chicago Con. Why? Because I haven't typed up my own reports from VanCon. *sigh* I'm so behind and it sucks! I really can't wait until SPN goes into hiatus so I can get caught up on a lot of things.

** Speaking of Vancouver, I can't believe how many webcams from there that I keep tabs on are out of order right now. Most of them are not updating and it's annoying. Bah. I miss seeing current views of the city. :(

** How cool is it that LJ now time stamps entries when they're actually posted instead of when you open the "Post an Entry" window? Me Likie. :)

** Went to Fry's Electronics on Friday and heard my first Christmas music of the season. I know it's the middle of November and nearly Thanksgiving, but it still felt too early to me.

** Looking forward to resuming the Name That Cap Challenge on Tuesday. Yay! :D

** I'm behind in comments....again! Gah! So frustrating. If I could just devote a couple of days to nothing but replying to comments I KNOW I could make some real progress. Unfortunately, right now the need to get caught up on my posts for the last 2 SPN eppies is taking precedence.

Just 'Cause

This cap is from S1 "Bloody Mary".

I didn't have time to find a cap to fix for Impala Sunday, so this one will have to do. It's Dean, in the Impala...it works. ;)
Ugh. Crappy Saturday. Didn't really get anything done after sleeping most of the day away. Should mean my Sunday will be better and more productive. Still have some posts to get done in order to catch up from being internetless for 3 days. Have a good Sunday everyone. *hugs*

Various Webcam Pics!

Gathered together another little group of webcam images, mostly from Vancouver. ;)

~ Thinky Thoughts ~

Sunday's a good time for thinky thoughts. Seeing the recent pics of the guys at Chicago Con today brought this thought to mind. ;)

Walking: One side says yes, the other no

My Gemini side came out to mess with my brain today. Part of me definitely did not want to walk today, even though I knew I should. So I did. Then the other part of my brain said not to take the easy route, to push myself a little further. Granted, this might've been motivated by the fact that I weighed myself this morning and I've gained a pound back. Boo! So I ended up taking the big loop (w/out the hill) in our neighborhood and then a modified big loop with the hill. Oooph! But I made it! \0/ I kept reminding myself that I'm doing this to lose wait for VanCon next year. Gotta keep going at this! At least the weather worked with me. It stopped raining and was just cool and overcast (around 48 degrees).

First Impressions: 5.08 Changing Channels

A new season and a new set of episode reviews. Enjoy!

With each of these reviews I'll include 2 cropped caps from the episode. One of Dean and one of Sam. I decided to do something different and make them b&w.

Consider these fanart. If you take either of them, please give credit. :)
