* Oh Whitney... Another great one gone.

* Joined some thousand others yesterday protesting against ACTA. [livejournal.com profile] slippery_fish and me met up to join a protest march. The weather was actually nice enough. The sun came out and the temperatures were bearable. Afterwards we went to a Mexican restaurant and had good food. After that kind of busy day I was so very lazy today. I wanted to clean my place but in the end just watched movies and listened to podfic.

* And I wrote fic. Not a long piece, just a little prompt I promised someone. It's not finished but there's only the ending missing. So I'll need a beta reader soon. Anyone want to read through a schmoppy little, non-AU J2 thingy for me?
It felt so good to write again. So good. Now I just have to save this feeling, this drive over to my Big Bang idea (and the last part of my AU).

* Two weeks until vacation. Plans are not final yet but if it works out it will be very cool.
the_milky_way: (jared/jensen (dorks))
* I blame this on [livejournal.com profile] enablelove. No idea how we got to this point but we were talking about mood themes and how there aren't anyone with recent Jared/Jensen pictures. So in a fit of boredom (and probably insanity) I sat down and started looking through my folders. Never thought it would be this hard to find fitting mood theme pictures in folder full of three years of material. Took me a few days and a lot of tries and re-tries to get a result I'm actually quite happy with.

So here you go: Jared/Jensen Mood Theme with pictures no older than three years.

You can find the complete mood theme set here, with the codes editor already within the zip.

♥ I have 'real' internet now. Tech guy came around 9am (the letter said between 8am and 4pm). Was out until midday and then just tried to set everything up and it worked. Yay.

♥ Help: I need a beta reader! Some short Sam/Dean, first one of the year. I needed a break from my Big Bang and the tables are kinda the way to go. So anybody? Please?

♥ Extended TV Guide Interview was a very nice thing to come online to.. Especially this one scene.. just guys.. really? LOL ). I wish I knew how to icon this one. I love my boys these days... falling in love with them all over again. *sighs* I'll be so damn sad when this ends.

♥ I'm cold! Really, really cold. My finger nails are blue. But at least I sleep way better in my new place, probably because the room is so cold.

♥ Also, still totally in love with Hawaii Five-0. I was all giggly through the last ep. I like it.
the_milky_way: (sam/dean (working))
♥ Not much to tell. Internet seems to hate me these days, since it vanishes randomly for hours. Things with the apartment are settled now though. Will meet the former tenant Friday and get everything else settled. OMG, I can't believe I'm moving. This is just so.. weird. I'm in the middle of packing my things and trying to figure out the color pattern for my new living room. It's all exciting as well.

♥ No job news. *sighs*

♥ In between packing and figuring things out I had a busy weekend. Was out doing some marathon shopping with J and C on Saturday. In the evening I met up with Jessica for some cocktails and TexMex. I needed that time out and it was very good to just sit there, drink something and talk. And again, I love Texas Iced Tea way more than Long Island Ice Tea.
Then I met up with C for some ice skating fun on Sunday. Man, I have been on the ice in years and I really should have brought my own skates, this rentable ones were torture. But it was fun anyway.

♥ In the meantime I'm trying to catch up with H5-0, I'm four eps behind because I didn't have time to watch it. I keep reading fic though. new fandom? Who knows.
Southland's season 3 is over now and I sure as hell hope they'll get a fourth. I want to know how things go on with John, Ben and Sammy, especially with the way things ended.

♥ Sad side of things is that I didn't have time to write anything. I didn't even try to work on the FaF crossover because I couldn't get in to the head space of one of the guys. Bah.. this was going so well and now I'm stuck. *flails* I'm also very unsure about the ideas I came up with for Big Bang so far. They all kind of suck and I'm not convinced that I'd want to write any of them. I need to collect ideas. I know I can write 20k in two months, even in one if I have to, that's not the problem. I just don't have an idea that I really like.

For my inspiration, some new J2 on set goodness, as a picture )

♥I signed my lease contract yesterday! So yes, the apartment is officially mine now. Sent in application for the money as well, now I can only hope that things work out there as well. And now I have to start packing and sort things out. Moving day should be in two weeks, have to talk to the former tenant still about stuff. And have to find a new internet provider (this goes out to the German people on my flist: any tips and hints for me??? I have to decide soon).

♥ I've spent my days planning where to put things in my new place and making lists of what I'll need to buy. Man, you never know what basics you have around until you move and need to figure out what to buy.

♥ No news on the job front, which is very frustrating. No one calls back even if they said they will. Sent off another round of applications. I'm in the mood to write more but can't find any job offers

♥ Haven't done much this last week. I felt like death warmed over most of the time and it wasn't a cold or the flu. I jest felt dizzy, tired and achy all the time. No cough or snot or anything. It was weird. Had a doctor's appointment today. Seems like it was a mixture of things, allergy, exhaustion and stuff. I'm better but still so very tired.

♥ Haven't written a single word in days. I have ideas, know what I want and where to go with fic but I can't concentrate long enough to sit down and write. I've read way too much though. But then again, you can never read enough.

♥ Fandom things: J2 is my way out of boredom these days. Fic and SPN eps. Man, I'm kinda looking forward to this week's episode but I'm also weirded out. This could be very awesome or could go very wrong.
Also, I'm only watching "Gossip Girl" for Dan/Blair these days, everything else is so damn boring.
Oh and I need more Sherman/Cooper "Southland" fic, especially after this week's episode. Even the show seems to ship them.

♥ I wanted to say more but I forgot. Couldn't have been that important.
the_milky_way: (jared/jensen (subt))
They seemed to be keen on delivering inspiration almost daily now. I really appreciate that.
J2 being J2 is so damn adorable.
set pics Feb 7th... just... awwww ).

I also find it very, very disturbing that I apparently own a similar panda hat to the one Clif is wearing... eww. :(

***

RL note.
I got the business card of the boss of a radio station today. I'm supposed to call her tomorrow and ask her about job options and if they need a trainee.
Man, I'm kinda terrified of that call but I will do it because it's about a job and she is the boss.. like the boss of all bosses in that station and it's a rather huge station around here.
Having friends being neighbors with important people is nice. They gave my CV to some TV people as well.

BOYS!

It's been years years since I watched a whole Super Bowl. Packers won. Okay. Well, it's the only team I had some kind of connection to (childhood memories about a TV show count right?). I had salted popcorn, Cinzano, chocolate and nice company (even if it was just online). It was interesting to realize how much I still do know about the sport.

Most important thing about the Super Bowl? The boys went and watched it together.. and met up with JDM.
pictorial proof ).

I just had to have those on my LJ.
It's good inspiration to write again.
the_milky_way: (jared/jensen (jay&jen))
♥ For now at least. Got the new modem installed and it's working now. But it took me about two hours and there is still something wonky. We'll see how long it will hold. Had a good weekend despite not achieving the things I wanted to. Was at a party with [livejournal.com profile] slippery_fish and stayed way longer than I had planned to but it was fun and I actually woke up again while dancing. Was at home around 4am Sunday morning and did not get nearly enough sleep to be awake for the course today. I still feel like I could just drop and sleep on. (Also, LJ refused to show this entry anywhere but my page, at least to me... so very strange. It's the second time that this has happened now.)

♥ Got my internet back just in time for some J2 love and goodness. It's strange but every time a con is about to take place I don't want to know about things when they happen. During the few years I started looking at con stuff when things are already over and I can get around embarrassing stuff or ignore wank if there should be one. I'm much happier this way. Much more ignorant as well but I honestly don't care.

J2 goodies... love the boys. )

♥ Speaking of the boys... I'm not sure if I want to go to the AE2 con or not. On the one hand I would love to meet a lot of people there and so on.. on the other hand I don't know. I met the boys, I had a good time and I have good memories. Do I want to have more? *shrugs* But then, it's Jensen.. ;)

♥ Finished another [livejournal.com profile] schmoop_bingoprompt today. Now I just have to find the time to type it up. I have four prompts filled and none of them on my computer yet. Urgh.... I just can't bring myself to actually sit down open the notebook and start typing. Something holds me back. Also, my BB fic got recced and the reason made me smile. :D

♥ Also, new Irish lecturer is sort of funny but when he said his son has scarlet fever I wondered what the hell he was doing there teaching. I mean, it's just highly contagious. Bah, just thinking about out makes me feel sick. Not that I'm okay again. Still migraine attacks and a sore throat. *sighs*

♥ My way to and from the course is plastered with very stupid billboards for a mobile phone company. It took me two days to realize why they bothered me. They have the German version of brilliant written on them and it's brillant. Every time I see it I think there is something missing, even if there isn't. Languages are strange.

♥ 2 weeks until Dublin. Meeeep.

Happy Birthday [livejournal.com profile] benitle!
Hope you are having an awesome one!
*huggles and throws virtual confetti for the online party bash* :D

♥ Lecturer apparently is very satisfied with how the course is going and with me especially, that's at least what the project leader told me today. She only called because my job agent called her to cancel on an appointment. Was nice to hear that despite being bored to death most of the time I still manage to act and be alert enough to say the right things. Not that creating sentences with the -ing gerund is so very hard, mind you. But yeah, compliments are always nice.

♥ Got a tentative date for my departure to Dublin, September 5th. We'll see if it stays like this. Would be okay, since it's a Sunday. But dude, just a little over three weeks left to get things done. *flails a little*
It also kind of drives me crazy that I still don't have an idea about the job I might be doing soon. Uncertainty scares me a little.

♥ Got fic done. Yay, although Sam is depressing the hell out of me in this one. Now I only need to type it up properly. But really, BB time isn't a good time to post unrelated fic.. LOL
I actually kind of really love the J2 story I linked in my last entry. It's sort of an unusual style for me and it was so hard to actually start with this prompt but I really like how it turned out.

♥ I want to watch some movies this weekend, any recs?

♥ Saw this screen cap from Comic con and wanted it bigger because I thought it would be good for icons or something. So I played around with my video player and the capping feature. Well yeah, turned out it gets bigger, like really huge.
Not that I mind, because J2 in huge on my screen can never be bad. ;) )
the_milky_way: (jared/jensen (love))
My latop scared me to death on Thrusday and then on Friday again. It booted, up until the point where it showed the Windows sign, pinged and switched over tot he desktop.. only that it didn't switch but stayed black. There was a mouse pointer, I could move it and all but nothing else showed. Have to restart and do a system recovery. No idea what it was and if it will happen again. Safe mode worked the first time and I could save data and all, just no internet for me.. the second time it only worked for the datas before the recovery. I lost some stories. Anyway, works now and is even faster, I am still suspicious though.

Other things:
-> I am blocked. Like completely blocked. Probably because I lost the rewritten last part of the Dark Angel fic. Haven't written a word since then, not even edited stuff, which I am supposed to do so that I can finally post someone's late birthday present.

-> Did post fic though for the "Wherein verse": "Wherein Jared tries not to be too miserable (and to avoid being kidnapped by Mike... or not)", J2, PG-13

-> switched my Big Bang idea out for another one and I can finally take notes and start planning. I am glad I did it and I think [livejournal.com profile] chani_atreides will like this very much (not so mcuh the fact that she'll have to wait even longer now).

-> Bought a new bed and a new bookshelf (because it was on sale), threw out my old bookshelf and the old bed. I can sleep again, at least for a bit and I am rested now...a bit. So it really was the bed? Am still a little doubtful. Kitty loves the new bed already, it's way lower than my old one and she can just climb on without having to jump.
Spent three days sorting through books, DVDs and other things. I threw away about three sacks full of stuff.

-> to add to my massive amount of books (I had no idea I had *that many*) I ordered five more, so yeah I think my days will be filled with reading and hopefully writing again.

-> Allergies are worse than ever.... I don't know what to do, my eyes are burning and my nose is constantly swollen. I hate it. I feel like shit.

-> When I wasn't building my bed and bookshelf I was going three a "The OC" marathon. Found season 2 to 4 for 10 each, so no 15€ at amazon. Yay me. Too much money anyway but I needed it.

-> Podfics are awesome, especially podfics of fics from yoru fav authors and your fav reader. *nods* It starting to become my late night ritual before bed.

-> Mum should be back tomorrow and I still have some things to do around here. Nothing goes over spending Easter alone and cleaning and watching "The OC". Is it me or does that sound rather pathetic?
Well not really all alon, had my cat and grandparents + visitor came by today, brought lunch and cake and 20€ (I so know what that will be... Summer dress here I come). It was a nice surprise.

-> The boys... oh the boys made me smile this weekend. I am so glad that this con went so well. Just the pictures alone... and yeah... Boys.
Thank you Jensen war making me smile. Thank you Jared for making me snort out loud. Thank you Jim Beaver for being just... you... :=)

I forgot where I got it from but Jensen *sighs* and Jared :D )

You know what a deadly combination is? Insomia and the Olympics.
Even if I am dead tired I can't fall asleep and I can't stop watching the Olympics.
I think i have slept about 5 hours in the last three days, which is so not good, especially when you have plans during the day.

Anyway, watching the Olympics is actually fun, at least the hockey part is. I am surprised that I still know so many of the guys and I still love watching it.
I actually missed watching hockey. I can't believe Sergei Federov is playing or that Teemu Selanne is still there as well. I loved how Dany Heatley got all cuddly with his captain after his goals. And I think it's the first time ever that the complete starting line of the German team consists of NHL players. That didn't help much against Sweden, seeing as irregular goals were granted and all... I was too focused on Peter Forsberg though to mind it much. And my little Finnish goalie is back as well. I was tempted to bring back my Antero Niittymaki icon.

Speaking of Finns, I think the Eurosport commentators where on crack or something when they commented the snowboarding events. They went on tangets and made sort of hilarious jokes every five seconds. It was actually fun listening to that and seeing the events taking place. How they got from commenting a flip to talking about Kimi Raikkonen I will never know.

Eurosport also has some nive features about the Games themselves and really, it's interesting who is there and all that. Thank God they show those bits during the breaks and not during live events.

Anyway, J2 at the Olympics is sort of cool. I actually want fic about that. Maybe watching hockey and all... *lol*
But they do look so cute in their beanies..

***
Not sleeping has another intersting outcome, I was able to watch a lot of the Berlinale interviews and press cons.
I still totally love Shah Rukh Lhan. That man is great in interviews and I think he one of the few people I can actually watch in interviews.
So damn charming and funny.

***
I actually had planned to make a huge post about my plot ideas and all.. but right now I don't even know if I want to or if anybody would be interested in knowing about them.
So here be poll about me posting it or not.

poll... poll )

***
*is off to finally watch Leverage*
the_milky_way: (f1: kimi (red bull))
First things first:
I need a beta reader.
It's ... words of Gossip Girl Chuck/Jenny... NC-17.
Any takers?
Please?

****

An entry to show off a new icon. I am rather fascinated by the cap.
I am easy and shallow like that. And I think only a handful of people will even get it.
I snickered a lot when I saw those puictures a few days ago. I feel the urge to write but I have so much to finish first.

On another happy note. The new pics of the boys (namely Jared and Jensen) from the 100th episode party are exactly what I needed for inspiration as it seems.
But who can resist those smiles anyway huh?
See? Those smiles... awwww.. Total dorks though )

***
I totally missed my LJ birthday... again. I never seem to remember.
So as of four days ago my journal is 8 years old.
Man, I never thought I'd still be here but things have changed a lot during those 8 years.

Still no Big Bang entry, but soon.
I just have to write down my ideas and then create the poll and actually think about what I actually want to ask those who are on the filter.
*headdesk*

I made chocolate chip muffins and brownies!
And after making them I am not hungry anymore. Huh?

****
I should be working on more prompts and on the next part of x5!Jared but I am somewhat blocked and a little bored, so memes it is.

Meme 1
Sangged from [livejournal.com profile] enablelove
Go to Google images or Flickr and type in one adjective that describes me or something that reminds you of me. Comment with it here and I'll return the favor, replying with a pic that represents you to me. No need to tell me the word -- the fun is in trying to guess the adjective.


Meme 2
Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] sandrine
Give me one character (or, alternatively, a fandom) and I will tell you:

1. OTP for them.
2. Runner-up pairing.
3. Honourable mention(s).
4. Crack pairing(s).
5. Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't.
the_milky_way: (london (rush hour))
So who is coming to London with me in March?


***
[livejournal.com profile] mama24, you are awesome!
Thank you so much. I have cookies now and BOYS!
Both arrived this morning.
*huggles*


Speaking of the boys... I wish this was true:
'The Simpsons has a very special “Treehouse of Horrors” planned for this year. It will feature the voices of Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki and the guys from Ghost Hunters. '

*lol* Would be a reason to really watch The Simpsons again.

***
I know it's late but I said I'd write about my NYE.
Nothing much to tell. I had fun. Met up with friends at a friend's place, then drove into the city where we set up camp on a bridge to watch what was going on in the city.
It was a good view and even though it snowed the whole night I wasn't cold. Met some cool people there, shared champaign and watched the fireworks. The really cool thing was being greeted by the train horns everytime one went by under the bridge.
The Moscow Express passed at exactly midnight and he didn't let go of the horn for a while.
Aftwards went back to friend's place, drank some more and then crashed at Josi's at around 6am or so.

Did take pics but I am too lazy to even download them to my computer right now.

***
There was more I wanted to write about but I forgot. Rachmaninoff is very distracting when you want to think things through.
Also, very goosebump inducing, too.

Oh right, I wanted top rec the story I got for [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_xmas because I really like it. It's Sam/Dean, NC-17.
"Soaked to the Bone (Sink like a Stone)".
It's really good and I love that she took this prompt from my list.


ETA: I didn't get any notifications the last days, so if you are waiting for a reply or if I owe you one sorry....

ETA2: Big Bang has been announced again. OMG, where did the time go. I do have an idea even but I am not sure I'll want to write that for Big Bang. I don't even know if I want to do J2 or S/D. Hmmmm

Also, I am totally in love with my new Dakine bag. Thank God for gift vouchers.
