The Sixth Planet

Just doing a test post from my phone.

Posted via LiveJournal app for Android.

I've been at best a LJ lurker for a while. I blame the ease and shallowness of facebook. It's just so much work to write more than 1 or 2 sentences these days. :)

So what's everyone been up to? What's the cool new thing? I still love me some Buffy and am getting caught up on Season 6 of Supernatural via Netflix. I also started watching a few new things...which I will force you to read about below. I have some old favorites I still watch like Sons of Anarchy, Fringe, Breaking Bad & The League.

Ringer: I was happy to see Sarah Michelle Gellar back and the show seems interesting but since it's not available On Demand with Cox Cable I probably won't follow it. I just don't have a very good laptop and I don't like to sit at the computer and watch TV.

Terra Nova: Has a good concept but I think that the writers didn't really think about how people would live in a world where dinosaurs roamed the land. They treat it like humans living a jungle where they just have to worry about a lion or something. Big Game animals are dangerous and all but dinosaurs are a whole other level of danger. I don't care how big your rifle is...don't pretend you're gonna stop T-Rex with a gun you can carry. That and they have way too many windows and glass doors in a place with a wall that doesn't seem like it would stop a dinosaur that REALLY wanted in. And what about dinosaurs that fly? Despite that little mini rant the show has some promise. Mainly the whole Terra Nova/Sixer conflict. It's kind of like the whole Others thing in Lost without all the intricate plots.

Walking Dead: I haven't posted about it since it started but I love the show. I love the comic book and they did a great job of capturing the feel of the comic in the show. I just wish they would pick up the pace a bit. It's not like Robert Kirkman doesn't already have 7 years of material to draw from.

Falling Skies: I started to watch but kind of gave up after half of the first season. I just lost interest. Why would aliens want to steal our teenagers? I liked it better when the aliens were just killing everybody and nobody knew why.

So what shows have I missed out on? And is Wincest still popular? I was hoping to ride that one out. ;)

So...no real point to this other than to spark some type of exchange. When did we give up on ruling the world? We had such plans! Or was I the victim of the evil-world conquering equivalent of being left at the K-Mart by your parents?

Discuss new plans of world domination here. No ideas too small.

You know this is serious business...you see how big and bold this font is?!?!

I don't know if I've shared this on LJ yet but this is not something you should miss. The comic is literally one of the best written comics out there right now. I think one of the best things about it is that Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) read the comic and decided he wanted to do a TV series for it.

So after watching about 20 minutes of an episode of Rizzoli & Isles I've decided it's the crime drama version of Rachel & Ivy from Kim Harrison's Hollows series. The almost gay is just so blatant it was the first thing that came to mind.

So I've been absent for a while on LJ other than the random comment here and there. I was reading another friend's blog about not spending time in fandom anymore and feeling like they were drifting apart from fandom friends. I'm curious about where people draw the line between fandom friends and actual friends. I know I've met folks online that I actually consider friends even though I don't talk to them every day or even live in the same state. So please satisfy my curiosity and feel free to comment if you are comfortable with doing so.

Do you consider us friends?

You know what you need? A 14K White Gold 1/3 Carat Marquis Cut Diamond Solitaire Engagement Ring. :)

Anybody planning to get married? I have a great deal on a nice engagement ring. It's not my wife's. :) It's not stolen either. But we are trying to refinance our house so we can get caught up on bills and are trying to build up a little money for that purpose. We're just squeaking by on what money we have now. So if you know anybody that can use this let me know. I'll even do a manip or write a story for you if that's what it takes. :) Send people my way, spread the word...assuming I haven't been forgotten by everybody. lol. I've been working so much that I spend very little time online anymore unless it's for work.



Below the cut is the description and certification of the ring. I don't want to say I'm desperate...but I'm desperate.

So far we've dodged the snow. :)

And I have Seasons 1-3 of Smallville for $30 if anybody wants them. Free US Shipping if you want it. :)

My roommate moved out and left me an autographed picture from Smallville. He also left an autographed picture of Michelle Trachtenberg but that one's not going anywhere. :)

So the Smallville print has autographs from:
Tom Welling AKA Clark Kent
Michael Rosenbaum AKA Lex Luthor
Kristin Kreuk AKA Lana Lang

It doesn't have a certificate and is framed in a nice wooden frame. The picture itself measures approximately 8x10.

Also up for grabs is the softcover book: 'Smallville The Visual Guide' It retails for 15.99

If anybody is interested in picking up one or both of these let me know. The first person to offer me 30.00 can have both items and I'll pay for US Shipping.
