UPDATE SECTION:

NEW: I've created a new community for photobuffs called [info]picspamyou_2009 Check us out!

NEW: I've found a new site to inform folks of my MSPHOTOFIX business - it's HERE.
WELCOME
This journal is not locked because honestly, not much going on here other than the occasional ::snort:: rant, rambling, a few commentaries (usually on episodes of my favorite shows), a few announcements during Moonridge auction time and bits of fluff and rabid opinions and artwork (I love Photoshop and do icons, banners/wallpapers etc).

I'm on twitter but no longer on Facebook. My fiction (Sentinel, Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis) can be found at [info]alysbasement. My Sentinel/Stargate Cookbook (actual recipes of mine that I've used in my stories) can be found here.

As you can see, not much going on, but feel free to sit among the dirty laundry (John's), computers (Rodney's & Daniel's), books (Daniel's, Blair's and a few of John's, Jim's & Rodney's), yo-yo's and doodads (Jack's), golf equipment (John's, Jack's, Jim's & Blair's), surf boards (John's and Jim's) and make yourself at home. As mentioned above, I love Photoshop so below the cut you'll find samples of icons, banners (created for myself and others), story covers (again, for myself and others) and samples of my photo restorations. Artwork/Icons/Banners/Photofix Samples and Joe's LV scene )

I spent the weekend wondering how The Ellen Show would handle the Super Bowl, since she tapes 2 episodes a day, which means today's show was shot last week. I thought they'd either: A) run a rerun so tomorrow's would be new and she could talk about the game, or B) shoot two openings, one if the Saints won, one if they lost, and then play the appropriate one today. The answer was B.

She did hoot and holler happily that the Saints won, then said, tongue definitely in cheek, "I could talk about the game all day" and then promptly went into a discussion of the show while everyone laughed, because of course, the game hadn't been played yet! LOL! So I expect we'll get lots of talk about it tomorrow.

Imagine spending all weekend wondering that.

I should have just stayed in bed....

[info]maaaaa ! I've been exchanging some emails with her and asked if I could share that she's missing us and obviously, since I just posted that - she said yes. *G*

Things are still tough, so keep good thoughts headed her way, okay?

So I'm lying in bed, cat curled up against my back and we're watching The Mentalist (okay, abby was snoring, but she gets points for trying to remain awake to watch her favorite Aussie). The episode happened to have Currie Graham, one of my favorite 'character' actors (although I think of him as a kind of comic leading man who never made it) in the part of the rich guy, Mashburn, who loves fast cars and boats and was a prime suspect in the case.  So I'm thoroughly enjoying the show, having a ball observing the interaction between Mashburn and Patrick, and WHAM - the slash hits me over the head like a ton of bricks.

For the first time in my history, I suddenly wanted the hero of my tv show to end up with...a FREAKING guest STAR!!!!

And not only that - but I wanted to WRITE it. A whole universe of The Mentalist where, when Patrick now goes home at night - it's to a mansion and a funny, witty, charming guy with a few kinks that will, undoubtedly, make the relationship as fun as Patrick's daily life with the CBI.

Do you suppose if I started writing letters to CBS now, we could get Currie as a semi-regular? He could easily fit it in with his role as the DA on Raise the Bar....

I have photos of the park that really gives you an idea of what the zoo keepers are going through, not to mention the animals. Bill Young, the President of FOMZ (Friends of the Moonridge Zoo) actually went over to the zoo to take these for us.

Teaser:

This is the path to Milo's enclosure and yes, those are the very same walkways we travel along, but now completely covered by snow that's even above the railings....

I thought folks would like to know how Moonridge deals with huge snowstorms and how the animals cope, etc., so I sent off a note to Betsy and heard from her today and thought I'd pass the information along.
