'Is there a word for uncanny yet irritating?'

I AM SAD. :[
You guys know how I crave crackalicious cracky goodness like a drug, right?
[TLW- case in point]

I heard about this supposed Snow White remake with Natalie Portman as a reincarnation of Snow White and seven NINJAS, instead of dwarves, sent to protect her from her Evil Stepmother's schemes.
How insanely awesome sounding is this? Snow White and NINJAS, yo. Kung fu + fairytale = *insanely bouncy glee*

But whether or not the movie is real, rather than the figment of some lunatic's imagination, Natalie Portman apparently turned down the role. *woes* I love Natalie Portman, she adds class to her projects. [I don't care how badly Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium was savaged by critics, I'm buying it on dvd, shut up]

Question: What do Teresa Lisbon and Elizabeth Weir have in common?
[Apart from devastatingly handsome male colleagues- with *g* enviable high fashion hairstyles- who charm them into approving all sorts of insane plans?]

Two lady bosses and framed photos of their canine buddies.





The images with the blond chick are from two separate interviews- between which Lisbon added another photo of her dog to her desk. Aww, puppykins! [Btw. Is it weird that I notice this?]

THEY EVEN HAVE THE SAME TASTE IN PHOTO FRAMES. PLAIN AND SILVER. :D
I know, I know it doesn't mean anything but I love it anyway. Crossover fic, pretty please?!

'k, I went through a few different SGA eps and these caps were the best I could find of Sedge! I know there must be better ones, but... *sighs* Not that I found. My efforts were in vain. *pouts* HOWEVER, the following totally makes up for it...

I love that she dresses up her dog in sci-fi props, that is hilarious! :D

Katy Perry- Hot 'n Cold

This makes me giggle so much. ^_^ If ever a couple gave off mixed signals [what with the kissing in other people's bodies and random 'accidental' groping and then marrying other guys], 'twould be these two.

But, you know, over all, possible and would be good for both, but hardly necessary to what they've found in each other. I just happen to love that in a "ship". My writing of them to date has been 99% platonic (the other 1% featured undercurrents or canon mind-altering events) but I can go either way given sufficient justication :)

LOVE the Marguerite!vid. Haven't had a chance to see much of the series yet (although my gf is pirating it for me, bless her) but it seems perfectly in keeping with Marguerite from what little I've seen. I especially love in your vid "kiss, kiss, kiss, knock you out with a bottle of booze!" ... kind of thing i'd do

perfect song for Magnus as well. I just added it to the list of Sanctuary song!vids I want to attempt when the Sanctuary DVDs come out (other songs i want to tackle is "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" as an Ashley combat montage, "New Mother Nature" for Magnus, and "Hotel California" for poor Will in the first three eps. i have others, but those are the main one's i'd like ot try :)

*nods* Any show that tackles politics is taking a difficult tack. It's more likely than not to flop by preaching at the audience instead of drawing the audience into its world and telling them a story. 4400 did okay (considerably less heavy-handed than, say, the X-Men movies: "did you ever try just not being a mutant?" -- honestly...) Sanctuary largely avoids needing to go there since it's a Shadow World although i did entertain the notion of "Joe's old friend Helen briefs Barack on a few things he should be aware of" but i lost the first draft when my computer caught a virus and just never had the drive to recreate it. okay idea (stolen directly from Stargate) but hardly original or compelling enough to revisit

The Cabal's huge, and they're global, and the Sanctuary is at a disadvantage in a lot of ways. But they're also passionate and they believe in what they do and there's not an abnormal on the planet who doesn't have a vested interest in bringing them down, so to me it balances out. A conflict between the Sanctuary and the Cabal is, by necessity, going to be a Shadow War and, generally speaking, guerillas are more than capable of holding their own against vastly superior resources. My biological father was a military historian, so I know that force of numbers and resources alone are seldom adequate to win any war. The Sanctuary is the underdog, but they're an underdog who's more than capable of holding its own in a protracted conflict

"The ends justify the means" is a tricky proposition. I happen to believe it myself (something that not many of my friends know about me, for the record) but a lot of people find it a reprehensible proposition and, at the end of the day, I can see where those people are coming from. The Nazis believed they were doing the right thing, too, and that they should pursue thier goals by any means necessary. My own father nearly fell victim to their eugenics policy. Because they believed that it was important to improve the human race at any cost. The Cabal really is in its own way, dedicated to the preservation of humanity, like the Nazis were. And that means being willing to do things you accept as distasteful to achieve those ends.

Maybe I'm closer to the issue than most and so i'm seeing things that aren't there. But, if the Cabal believes it's doing the right thing and that it's acceptable to use any means necessary to achieve that and the Sanctuary believes that it's doing the right thing and that it's acceptable to use any means necessary to achieve that, then they aren't that different at all. The road to hell, after all, is paved with good intentions *shrug*

And I just really hope they have the balls to play up that angle even more strongly in season 2 :)

and i'll stop hitting you with teasers *hug*
