I am really feeling the lack of Stargate Universe tonight. :(

I found an interview that Robert Carlyle gave at Comic Con 2009. Under the cut.

( Robert Carlyle talks Stargate )

I just can't get enough of his accent. :)

I survived Black Friday (I always get up early and hit the mall to buy cards and jewelry for myself - my parents have no taste and it's always on sale - and look around for random present ideas) and managed to get a jog in before it got dark (stupid winter and darkness hitting at 5pm).

I have eight Google Wave invites, if anyone would like one. (Leave your e-mail address in the comments - they're screened.) I haven't really used it yet, since I don't really know anyone else on it, so I can't say whether I like it or not yet.

I'm tired, even though I tried my best not to wake up this morning. ;) I had one of those dreams that are a bit like your very own action movie (with mystery elements *g*), and I loved it. It probably wouldn't make sense if I'd try to write it down, but for me it was awesome. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? *g*
On a random note: Looks like I have some invites for Google Wave. Haven't fully figured that whole thing out yet, but if anyone wants one let me know. ;D
Anyway, snagged this little comment help from cologne_chick. ;D ( click )

Scans from Lorna (Rachel Weisz, Gerard Butler, Daniel Craig). And random shoots. ;D Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Roseanne (I loved that show when I was younger!), Gerard Butler, Fall Out Boy, Anton Yelchin, Maggie Grace, Viggo Mortensen, Hayden Christensen, Megan Fox, Christian Bale and Ioan Gruffudd.

Firstly, thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes, and such. You are all very sweet and lovely and managed to stop me being quite so grinchy about everything. kousuke_blade even made me a birthday video because she is a crazy thing, and all in all my day was pretty good. I actually went to work, and took in a whole heap of New Zealand food (sweets, and crisps and biscuits and things) and they were a massive hit with my workmates, and then some of the boys (including The Crush) took me out for a drink at lunchtime, and it was nice. I'm all about lowkey really. My family called, and a few other people called, and Dani made me cake, and yes, it was suitably pleasant, and now I can forget about it for another year.

Question time!

My work Christmas function is a week away, and as I've posted before this is the dress I'll be wearing. Lots of you thoughtfully weighed in on how I should accessorise it, all of which I have taken into account. however, I have done nothing in regards to this yet, and I only have a week, and two of those nights are going to be busy with other (awesome) things.

As far as I see it, I'm keen on two options:

1. Gold. I like the combination of gold/black. It is warmer than silver/black especially in winter. I find all gold in shoes, however, kind of blah, so I was thinking black shoes but with bold GOLD detailing. I think ultimately the shoes I get have to be quite striking in style (not neccessarily in colour). I spotted these in a store near work, which I kind of love and think could really work. Thoughts?

2. COLOUR. As in, a really vibrant coloured pair of shoes: I'm thinking a vivid red, green or blue. It livens things up a bit. I'm a bit unsure of coloured shoes with a mostly all-black outfit, so that is where you all come in:

Poll #1491167
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 30

accessorise me!

Ahh, what would I do without you all?

I think I had too much exposure to the little boss today. He actually talked a minute to me. Oh wow. That's a record for the week. Anyway... finally. It's the weekend. I plan to spend it resting. Oh, and the parents are still here.

Talking about over exposure... this image was taken last month at the company field trip. Enjoy.

Q: Okay, what the fuck. Seriously. WHAT THE FUCK.

A: You know, I can't actually help you if you don't have a specific question.

Why do we never discuss films of Clive?
Clive is actor - puzzle. His characters are often very complex, multi-layered and whose true essence is hidden deep inside. Therefore many of his films have been underestimated by critics and even his most loyal fans.
Yes, I have in mind primarily the film "Derailed".

Do you think - Charlie Schine is a good guy?
My opinion: he is the greatest evil in this film.
You can disagree with me, but I'll try to explain later why I think so.

You know what I hate most about this bombing the shit out of 142 Afghans deal? That even my Colonel Dad is all: "Oh, it's the Army's fault."

Because, you know, as long as the Air Force is in the clear we don't have to think about sending soldiers, whose constitutionally stated intent it is to only defend German borders against aggressors, somewhere else to kill real people who never harmed us any. And, according to my dad, it can never be the Air Force's fault anyway, because they just bomb what they are told to and they really cannot be expected to discern between nice people and bad ones from high up there.

I am not even kidding about this, I love the Luftwaffe/Air Force, it practically raised me. I learned climbing, cooking and riding a bicycle from soldiers not blood-related to me in any way.

As long as none of them was the secret beneficiary in some random Afghan's life insurance I don't see the point in blaming individual soldiers doing their jobs. I _know_ they are awesome people. I am making homemade blueberry jam and cinnamon-bread as an early December treat for about 40 of them this weekend.

What I am saying is, there is a soldier who only signed up to defend German and Nato friendly's borders against enemy aggression and by mistake killed several innocent people in Aghanistan, because we told him to do so. How is that right? How do we justify this either to the dead Afghans or our soldier? It's their life or lack of it now. Forever.

We failed all of them.

I am just glad we stayed away from the Iraq clusterfuck at least.

I may lock this later, if I feel it is too personal or to all over the place rambling, but I wanted to say it. That you can very much hate a war, BECAUSE you love your soldiers. I just want the boys back here, instead of out there, where they are risking their lives for nothing tangible at all.

Happy Thanksgiving! (Or, for those of you not in the US, happy Thursday!) As craptastic as things here often are, I'm thankful to have gotten through the day without any fighting (so far), for my brother, who's promised that if I don't have a place of my own by the time he graduates, we'll move in together (:D :D :D), and, of course, all of you people who live in the computer and keep me from going absolutely nuts on a daily basis. *squishes you all!*

Am totally exhausted from a hectic work day. Thank goodness I'll be off work around noon tomorrow. Dinner is ready tonight ... so I'll catch up with you later. Until then... why don't you enjoy this:

Sunset over my hometown... ... today.

miz_bliz! Hope you're having a great day, hon! *hugs*

Had a nice night out with friends yesterday, though I'm really a lightweight when it comes to alcohol. *g* And remember that guy who asked me whether I was taking my dog for a walk while I was doing exactly that? We have a long history of meeting in trains (meetings I'm not exactly keen on), and of course I have to run into him at 0:30am at the train station. I'm cursed. <.< >.>

Anyway, have some Narnia related icons. ;D Voyage of the Dawn Treader included, but they should be non-spoilery. :D
