I promised myself a graphic tablet if I passed my exams... but er... I was weak, so I guess I'll know next week whether I earned this pretty. And in the meantime; WHO GIRLS!

My first go. I think I really started getting the hang of the pen possibilities by the time I got to Donna. She ended up a bit more realistic then the other two (maybe that just reflects that she's my favorite). I might do a color once I get the hang of that.

This is ancient (I need to re-install illustrator). But since I seem to be signing up for Merlin Big Bang art. I guess some kind of demo is in order. Click on the image to see larger.

Stargate Universe is up on IMDB. No details beyond the title etc. sadly.

There's also someone on the message board, that asks;  'wouldn't it be great if any of the lead characters were gay?'
Well, sure. But since this is contemporary scifi, all about the American military, it seems pretty unlikely that they'll go with that. The most queer I expect them to get, is maybe have a character fall for an alien that's distinctively not human. Star trek used the plot of a genderless or third gender love interest twice, to mask the fact that their male hero had a gay experience. Now I'll doubt SG will go that far, but to be fair, it's also really not the kind of show that would devote an entire episode to romance.

So since the gay character is unlikely, how about this; 'Wouldn't it be great if any of the lead characters were black?'
To put that in perspective, let me elaborate that sentence with this quote fromlinabean ; "The only regular characters who aren't white are the ones from other planets. They had a nice young black man playing a marine, and they got him addicted to an alien drug and he went crazy and now he's probably dead."

Let's try that again show writers. You might be hard pressed to find openly gay men in the marines corps, but I'm sure there are plenty of ethnic soldiers. Or hey, let's get really radical (since I've read the character profiles and I can already imagine which of them you'd go with) let's make it the mandatory genius. Radical I know. But at least then you couldn't kill him off (or sort of hint you killed him off, "but hey, who knows and that plot's so last season, I just can't be bothered about it anymore")

My perfect Universe team btw. includes Dusty Mehra in the role of the random soldier with anger management issues. That could be her, just saying.

Penny arcade is covering Obama's first crisis in comic form today; hilariously known as Zunegate! 

Some quotes collected from the web about this tragedy

From the distressed Apple crowd:
* “You can’t run an election claiming you own an iPod and garnering people’s votes then after you win suddenly start toting around a Zune. That’s just not cool,”

And from some people that really don't get the concept of 'little guy'.
* "So President-Elect Obama sports the Microsoft media player in lieu of the all-mighty Apple product. Good for him."

* "Yeah that Zune thing was weird. I guess Obama’s trying to help out the little guy (at least in the mp3 player world)."

hahaha.

They're testing the sirens again. This never ceases to amuse me. Potential terrorists on my Flist, here's heads up; The first Monday of the month is when you want to blow up that chemical factory. No one will notice.

My google-fu's been shot to nothing since Delicious changed it's search function. So I beseech the Masters to help.

I'm looking for a Lost Boy's tag. Rodney's left with the lost boy's when John and co go off to raid the Hive ship. Rodney ends up having sex with the guards. It's not noncon really, but he's definitely influenced by the enzyme. Then Sheppard crashes the dart into the base on his way back and catches him in the mids of some very kinky sex (doubledicking).
When they get back everyone is really concerned that Rodney's been raped and there's a really memorable line that Rodney finally gets what the School slut felt like and he totally would have shared his cigarettes with her now.

Help?

It took me forever and at least 5 programs, but I've finally managed to rip the Witch's Aria from the first ep of Merlin and turn it into a MP3. I wish I had a credit card, then I could have just bought the damn thing! *head desk*

Good song though.

So I've finally downloaded this song to my playlist. As it turns out I spend so much time watching this clip, laughing hysterically, my brain now automatically fills in Buffalax' crazy English translations. *head desk*

A Gay marriage drabble written for the No on 8 drabble-a-thon.

Fandom:SGA
Pairing: Mckay/Sheppard
Summary: This was all Jeannie's fault. She was always putting these ideas in Rodney's head. About settling down and starting a family and how he could have this. Should want to have this!


( Onto the slash )

Ugh. Heroes. I must be desperate for entertainment since I'm still watching this. I had this unfounded belief it'll get good again now that they've got a whole season and actual willing writers to work with. And yet there is Tracy.
