So, I have been leveling with kiniro of late, and she, being a great lover of screenshots, has been asking me to upload my screenshot collection.

I'd kind of been wanting to do this anyways, as I'm rather proud of my collection, and I also wanted to sell more people on playing WoW with me, and I think the Wrath of the Lich King expansion is so goddamned fun and gorgeous, I think it's a great selling point.

I will be posting my screenshots in several posts, so I apologize in advance for the flist spam. Feel free to skip, but I encourage you to take a peak, even if you're not a WoW player!

WARNING: these posts are not for the faint of connection. There are a lot of images below the cuts, so if you're still on dial up, be prepared for a significant wait time.

Doom and Hooters Night at my place, y/y? staraflur is going to be gone for two and half weeks after this weekend, so I am thinking this Saturday afternoon/evening? Please leave comments with thoughts and whatnot :)

I will also send PMs to y'all, just to make sure no one misses this.

Gah, halp.

Where's the post for the Harry Potter ontd_st meetup? I swear there was one. Or I'm crazy.

Halp :( and soon, if you can, I'm trying to decide if I'm going to a midnight showing tonight or not.

The kitties we took in are now old enough to be adopted out. I would really love them to go to people I know, or people who people I know trust. If I can't find people to take them, I will have to take them down to the Humane Society to adopt out.

So! Looking for people in Atlanta or the Atlanta area. I'm even willing to drive out and meet someone half way if they live in the surrounding states(except Florida, as that is a five hour drive). All I ask is that their new owners will get them spayed and neutered and that they won't ever de-claw them.

First we have Moppet, who is the biggest of the kittens. He is a long hair -- all poof and fluff and very cute. He, like his siblings, is a brown tabby, and has a white underbelly. He used to be very shy, but has recently come out of his shell. He is playful, social and loves to be pet. He makes sweet little squeaky growls when he plays with a feather teaser.

Tom Kitten is the other little boy. He is a short hair, and unlike his siblings, he has no white on him. He was always the most out going of the litter, so if you're looking for a very playful, active kitty, this is your guy.

Mittens is the little girl. She is a long hair, and marked very much the same as Moppet. She's my shy violet, and will require a home where people are gentle and patient and willing to let her come out of her shell.

This is kind of a long shot, but we also have their mom. Tabitha, or Mama Feral as we call her is a full feral. I expect to have her spayed, and then just release her, but if anyone out there has feral experience and want a very sweet young lady, I'll offer her up as well. Despite being full feral, she has never once clawed, swiped or bitten at me. She will hiss and growl when you reach for her, but she will let you pet her(though she is very uncomfortable with the whole thing). I have worked with her for a year and a half, and she is now socialized enough that she will happily be in rooms with humans, but just doesn't want them to come over to her. If you, or anyone you know, has feral experience and wants a feral cat(feral kitties can be very affectionate! Especially with the human who works with them to socialize them), she is also up for adoption.

Please do direct anyone near Atlanta to contact me. I'd love to give these kitties away to people I can meet face-to-face.

Fucking Bellsouth.

( More pictures of me ranting at the internet below )

I haven't updated much, calicokat has, but if you don't know, she, Roommate and I have gotten a house together. We're prepping for moving, so, you know, we need the internet.

To live.

So I decide that today's the day I'm going to call Bellsouth and set up the DSL. I go to their webpage to look up their number, and click on 'Contact us'. It asks for really unnecessary info, like if I'm a residence or a business, and what zip code I am. And yeah, it is unnecessary. All I need is a big list of contact numbers, and then I'll PICK the residential line.

Anyways, I give them the info, then I get the screen I capped above, minus my colorful additions.

What? WHAT?! It's a fucking telecom site! They're a telecommunications company. And their website won't work? WHAT?

Bellsouth. You are not a Mom and Pop kitten selling opperation. You are a big ass telecom company. Why the fuck do you think people will buy your product if you can't build a fucking website?

And here's the thing. I bet most modern people think this is reasonable. Fucked up telecom companies have convinced the public that THIS is how the internet works. That you design your site to work on a limited number of browsers/OSes/settings because, you know, it's IMPOSSIBLE to design a site for everyone! And besides, it needs to be pretty, so, obviously, that's the priority.

( Cut some, cause I'm ranting for awhile. It's funny shit though. You should check it out. All your friends are. You'll be totally left out if you don't. )

I think I'm not going to enjoy tonight's ep...

( This is why -- no spoilers, just speculation )

...but unfortunately it's my only option.

calicokat is here, and I found out she hadn't seen Mean Girls. Clearly this had to be rectified. Watching it, I pointed out the section that's my impersonation of Dean. For a couple of months now, I've been talking about how Dean is full of feelings, but I realized that maybe some folks might not be in on the meme.

So, now I present to you, a reasonable impersonation of Dean Winchester so far in Season 4:



He wants to bake a cake made out of rainbows and smiles and all eat it and be happy. He just has a lot of feelings.

Less QQ, more pewpew, noob.

I still have things to talk about in relation to NaNo, but first:

Record label refuses to promote Amanda Palmer.

Roadrunner Records is refusing to promote Amanda Palmer's album. Why? Because when they told her they wanted to cut scenes from her latest music video that show her having belly fat, she told them "No."

What is Roadrunner Records? It's supposed to be a metal label -- it's supposed to be counter-convention. But I guess that only applies to guys. God forbid WOMEN ever go against cultural training.

This thing sends me into a rage for pretty obvious reasons, but there's also the fact that it's Amanda Palmer. As in, the singer/pianist for The Dresden Dolls, aka The Best Band Since EVER. She's the most original singer/songwriter today, and, indeed, one of the very few who actually does BOTH. She's my hero, merrily raising her arms to show her unshaved pits, painting in her eyebrows and not caring if her make-up is smudged and smeered in a music video.

And hell! Look at the music video(in the first link). Tell me that isn't fabulous.

Also, tell me she's not sexy as all get out.

I mean, what the hell? I'd hit that in a skinny minute. Dressed in that open tux outfit, singing with that GORGEOUS alto/tenor -- she's a bonefide hotass! And they're worried about belly fat?

RAGE.

Please feel free to repost the link to the F-word article. I'd like as many people to know about this as possible.

Okay, I have more to say about WinCon than just this, but...

Brothers on a Hotel Bed, But Really, from fic idol(you know, the one with the disembodied cock) was posted, and they posted it under a sock puppet and pretended like it was a serious fic, which ROCKS MY SOCKS.

I'm going to go make a fake journal and leave hideously simpering comments.

A/N: This story is based in the Transmutation Verse, by mona1347 and poisontaster. The link there will take you to the line up of fics, from the original to all the other pieces set in it. If you haven't read this story, not only are you missing out on some of the best fics in this fandom, you also won't understand this fic at all.

Thanks: Huge thanks go to mona1347 and poisontaster for letting me play in their sandbox. I love love love this universe, and getting to write in it was crazy fun, even if I took a year to write it(srsly, I asked them for permission at last year's WinCon -- someone grant me the gift of being able to write faster). And, of course, to baileytc, who beta'd the whole thing. I am, as always, so very grateful.

Neat stuff:

Movie Critic had an interview with Jim Beaver yesterday -- gotta find out how that went.

He has an article up with two S4 SPN clips! Spoilers, obviously.

And he mentioned yesterday that he might be getting a screener copy of the premiere. Squee!

Speaking of...We watched the first two eps of House S5. Non-spoiler: Good stuff.

( Spoiler version )

Copied from brynwulf. Pick ten through fifteen fandoms and have your friends list guess your least favorite character from each. If you have more than one least favorite, you may put them all, but don't get excessive with it. Try to see who can get the most correct.

ETA: Don't confuse least favorite with hate. Not always the same.

I'm adding favorite as well as least favorite. Some of these will be EXTREMELY easy for y'all, other ones are things I was into before I met you, or we haven't talked a lot about.
