Subject:Icon Resource Post
Time:11:26 pm.
Mood: creative.
She makes icons? Since when!? )

Uh, hi everyone. I know this must seem like Night of the Living Dead and all, but...give me a little while and I'll post something a little more personal than an icon resource post, all right? ^_~ Seriously. *smooches*

Subject:Quick Reminder
Time:11:47 am.
Mood: rushed.
Hey everyone,

Just wanted to say that today is the last day for claiming requests on [info]yuri_challenge and [info]het_challenge. We've got some really awesome requests that are still unclaimed, in fandoms like Hellsing, Sailor Moon, Naruto, Bleach...come on, I'm trying to tempt you guys here. *LOL* I mean, jeez, somebody at least pick up my GirlycardxIntegra request... *coughcough* ^_~

In any case, request posts are here:
http://community.livejournal.com/yuri_challenge/5901.html
http://community.livejournal.com/het_challenge/4527.html

Check 'em out! ^_^

P.S. Any fellow Babylon 5 fans on my f-list? I just heard about the latest in the string of B5-related misfortunes. Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar) died on the 13th, of lung cancer. He was only 59. ;_; This makes the third (that I know of) B5 death in the last couple of years...first Rick Biggs (Stephen Franklin) and then Tim Choate (Zathras), both of whom were also way too young to die...this is crazy stuff. Do we call a Babylon 5 curse? O_o

Anyway, article about Andreas Katsulas here: http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=34628

Time:11:17 pm.
Mood: exhausted.
Hmmm...this is actually a really interesting meme. ^_^ I'd be interested in seeing the results (not just for mine, but for other people's as well).

I have stuff to post, but not the energy to post it. I think I'm going to call it an early night and get to posting tomorrow. ^_^

Subject:Technical Question
Time:5:03 pm.
Mood: irritated.
Okay, another question for any of you out there who are more savvy with computers than I am...

I recently downloaded a particular video file (One Piece 82, if you're curious), and now I would like to delete it. But I can't delete it. It's pulling the good old "this file is in use by another person or program and cannot be deleted" story, and refuses to let me delete it. I've tried everything, and nothing's working. I've done the following, and none of them have worked:

- Closed every running program on my computer except windows, and shut off my Internet connection, so there should be no conceivable way for another program or person to be using the file.
- Restarted.
- Shut down, left the computer off for a day, and turned it back on.
- All of the various windows scans.
- All of the various spyware scans.
- Virus scans.
- Attempted to delete from a 'search' rather than in Windows Explorer.
- Copied it to another folder, which resulted in me being able to delete the original, but now the copy file, in My Documents rather than Sysreset Downloads, refuses to delete.
- Tried cutting and pasting (it also refuses to do this, and gives the same reason).
- Prayed to every idol I could think of to do something, up to and including striking my computer with lightning, but as of yet, no such luck.

So, like, WTF? I don't want a random 240MB file sitting on my computer simply because the friggin' thing doesn't want to let go of it. Is there any way I can get around this? I just want the thing GONE. Is that so much to ask for!? *whines* Is there some secret trick anyone could teach me to tame my computer?

ETA: Thanks guys...your comments gave me the idea of uninstalling my codec packs in case they had become corrupted, and yup...that worked. File is deleted! We beat the system again! MWAHAHAHA!

[info]lntora fixed it! :O Thank you, LN! You're brilliant. ^_^

It looks fine on my end now...I'm assuming it looks normal to everyone else too...? ^^

Question:

Does my journal look funny to anyone else, or is it just a problem on my end? (None of my overrides, like my background picture or my formatting, are working currently for me.)

And if it's not just me, does this mean that the latest in LJ's 'wonderful' changes is filtering out S1 styles?

ETA: Okay, so it's not just me. WTF, LJ!? Is anyone else having similar problems?

Subject:Quick question
Time:11:21 pm.
Mood: curious.
So tell me, where's a good place to get Hong Kong DVD sets online these days?

(If you're curious, I'm asking because I'm thinking of series which haven't been fansubbed, which are licensed here in North America but only released DUBBED, which receives a hearty "no thanks" from me.)

Subject:Christmas Sims
Time:6:30 pm.
Mood: amused.
Well, I promised a kind of belated present, and here it is. The last time I posted pictures from my Hellsing Sims house (which can be found here if you missed 'em) they turned out to be sort of popular, so for Christmas (I was supposed to post this closer to the season, of course ^^;;;) I set up a Christmas house and started snapping pictures. ;P This house includes the Hellsing family and also Robin and Amon from Witch Hunter Robin.

WARNING: Naturally, this post contains simulated nudity and graphic sexual situations. If you're underage or uninterested, don't click the cut. ;P I also have to warn that there are big scary penises towards the end...I changed my nudes because I find these ones hysterically funny. ^^;

Enjoy. ;P

Christmas in Simland! )

And that's about it. I hope my darlings amuse you as much as they do me. *snickers*

Hey guys. I know I still owe you a proper entry (it's been busy! ;P), but before that I just wanted to pop in quick-like and remind anyone who's interested that there are only a few hours left to make any requests for [info]het_challenge and/or [info]yuri_challenge. ^_^ So if you were hoping to make a request, better make it soon! ;P

Subject:[info]yuri_challenge and [info]het_challenge
Time:10:41 pm.
Mood: tired.
Hi guys! *glances at the date* My God, how the time flies! Sorry I haven't been around...the holiday season was busy, and now that the new semester's started, things are even busier! O_o

I'll write a better entry when I have the time (right now I've got to get to sleep...school at 9:00 *groan*), but for now I just wanted to pop in and mention that second rounds of [info]yuri_challenge and [info]het_challenge have just opened up, with the help of my new co-mod, [info]laylah. ^^ This time we're working on a request format like the most recent rounds of [info]yaoi_challenge...we're hoping that will draw greater interest. So, please do head over to the comms and check it out! ^_^ Requests are open 'til the end of the month.

Please let all of your loved ones know about this...it's a terrible medical scam! You guys know I wouldn't post about such a thing if it weren't extremely serious...

Subject:Static electricity
Time:11:13 pm.
Mood: sore.
I don't know what it is about this winter, but everything is significantly more staticky than I'm used to it being, including in the winter. It's bad enough when my clothes stick to me and my blankets give me shocks, but when my hair reaches for everything I pass by and sometimes looks like I just stuck my hand in a socket, I get *very* unhappy. *poutpout* Argh. (<---I bet I use that word more than absolutely any other.) ;P

Last week dad and I finished watching Witch Hunter Robin...I don't know if I mentioned I was showing it to him, but I was. I had put it on on Hallowe'en to get in the spirit of the evening, and he watched it with me, and got hooked, so we watched the rest. ;P Anyway, now we've moved on to Vandread. I'm curious to know what he'll think of this one. So far I think he's pretty unsure, but we'll see. *LOL*

Vandread is fascinating for me, though...every time I watch it (which is quite a few times, now) I spot something new, something I hadn't realized or totally understood on my previous viewings. It's just so...detailed. A very richly detailed world and characters that you just keep understanding more about with each viewing. I love stories like that. ;P

Last final tomorrow. Then I'm free!! For about two weeks. *slumps in defeat*

Checking off... )

Here's a link I came across today that some of you might like:

http://www.muffindomain.com/index.php?page=anime.html

Direct downloads for quite an astonishing amount of (mostly shoujo) anime. Just in case you're tired of/inept with BT/IRC/P2P and so on. ;P

Enjoy!

Thank goodness the holidays seems to have slowed down LJ activity a bit. *snort* ;P

I really need the Net on my laptop...then I could check LJ from bed. *LAZY LIKE WHOA AND THEN SOME*

Nothing new in my life, but to make this appear to be a useful entry, I'll just give a rundown:
- Two finals over, one left to go and it should be easy. Whether it'll be easy to pass or easy to fail, I'm not sure.

- I've been writing a lot of high class literature smut, which is nice since I'd been feeling blocked for ages. What can I thank for the block loosening? Watching hentai at late hours. Seriously. It may be bad, it may be hilariously bad...but it is inspiring nonetheless. Anyway, been working on various stuff...mostly IntegraxAlucard, BCxMeia, and a bit of AmonxRobin. Lately it seems I'm all het and bothered, yo. But have no fear, someday I will see the light again. (Probably tomorrow.)

- How the hell did this much time pass and I haven't watched any anime save for a couple of hentai since the last time I posted!? WTF!?

- Oh yeah, I know how...I've been watching WAY too much TV. Lately I've been going through a sicko mode of watching all the forensic shows with great fascination. Two comments on that: 1.) Holy crap, why do they show so many murder shows so close to Christmas? Should I be worried? Should I be worried that I'm watching them all in great marathon sessions? 2.) I really, really feel like reading a few dime detective novels. The craving is EATING ME AWAY. Obviously one of these days I should drag myself off my ass, go out into the library in the family room, and grab a few to read.

- Speaking of the hentai...one of them was 'Meiking', which was cute (in a sickening way) and hilarious (in a "My God I can't believe how pathetic/bad this is" way), and I predictably fell head over heels in love with the character Chiffon. Even in such unlikely circumstances, the antisocial silver-haired bish manages to charm the pants right off me. (Not literally, but damn close.) The fact that she's a mage is only a double bonus. Perhaps some day I shall write a silly fanfic crossing over the decent characters from hentai otherwise entirely devoid of anyone interesting. Speaking of which, I think if I hear Yuuji Ueda talking dirty one more time, I'll...have heard Yuuji Ueda talking dirty one more time. GOD, he does that a lot. And for some reason, I always picture Horo Horo when he does...*deeply disturbed*

And now for the truly important stuff!

Ganked from everyone everywhere. )

Oh, just before I go...as Christmas is fast approaching and Christmas tends to be the season for donating to charity, here's a link I'm sure you'll find extremely interesting. I know I did: http://www.sexinreview.com/politics/salarm.htm
