UPDATE SECTION:

NEW: I've created a new community for photobuffs called picspamyou_2009 and it's now up and running. Anyone can join, camera buffs or not! The main idea is that we all find some time for ourselves by getting out at least once a week and take time to find - and share - some of the beauty that surrounds us! We post every Monday so check us out!

NEW: I've finally found a new site for my MSPHOTOFIX business - if you're interested, you'll find it at my new BLOG 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.

I can also be found on twitter and Facebook. If you're looking for my fiction (Sentinel, Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis), they can be found at my Fiction Only Journal, alysbasement, and my Sentinel Cookbook (all actual recipes of mine that I've used throughout my fictions - and yes, a few Stargate recipes too!) can be found here.

I also enjoy fixing photos (hence the business), creating banners, story cover art and icons - and post them fairly regularly, along with the odd photo of my cat, Abby. You can view a few samples under the cut. 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.

Spoilers under the cut - but first - Jeri Ryan won't bother me when she shows up since I now know why she's being brought in: Gina (Sophie) is obviously pregnant. And if you missed that fact (bulky purses covering her tummy, weird-assed coats, shorter hair, fuller face and the looks of a woman who's suffering from morning sickness - well, that's okay. :)

Specifically, luna_61's, aka, Chris, aka, Tina, aka, my friend.

So - what do you get your friend? I could make a wallpaper - but come on, it would be nothing she couldn't do better herself. So that left, really, just one thing.

A story. Specifically, an SGA/McShep story but with an additional character. *G*

So under the cut, you'll find my birthday pressie for luna_61.

Note: It should be stated right up front that while I love Chris - I don't love her enough to give her either John or Rodney. That probably makes me a bad friend. *G* AMENDMENT: But I do love her enough to give her Major Lorne after all!

The Lost World: Jurassic Park and am once again sitting here trying to figure this movie out. I never saw it in the theater, only on TV, so am I simply seeing a version cut to ribbons (although I'm watching on SyFy and it's three hours long and the original version was 2 hours and 16 minutes)? I mean, one minute we're all happy and rescued and the next, Jeff and Julianne show up in San Diego, sans daughter and Vince Vaughn, just in time for the docking of the great ship that was the temporary home to a T-Rex. A T-Rex that is STILL trapped in the hold of the ship (until a cop lets it out), but a a ship without a crew because they are, mysteriously, all dead.

So - anyone see it in the theater? What happened to daughter and Vince Vaughn? How did Jeff and Julianne end up in San Diego? Who ate the crew members?

And if these questions plagued the original version - does anyone have, say, a director's cut of the movie with what appears to be a bunch of missing scenes?

Do we not know that there's a big difference between complaining on a personal journal to our flist about a show or what the writers did to it - and writing the writers/producers and spewing all over them? Which is NOT to say that I haven't written my share of writers or producers to share my personal opinion because I have. That's the joy of all of this, you know? You let them know how you loved something or how you didn't - and those that are open to it, you even razz a little. BUT you don't SPEW. You don't threaten or accuse or curse or generally show yourselves to be total IDIOTS and dangerous ones at that!

You know how sometimes you read a piece of fan fic and you just know they wrote it for no other reason than to shock? Yeah, we've all been there. For me, I know that when I'm done reading, and no matter how well written, I'm left feeling empty, even if I'd been biting my nails, clenching my fists, crying, or whatever the author insisted I experience. Sometimes the emptiness is like a a hard rock in the pit of my stomach and I actually feel ill. Needless to say, I never read those stories again - and this genre is definitely not a favorite for the simple reason that at their heart - there is no heart. No love of the subjects, you know? And the one thing I've found that I need in my fan fiction is an author who </i>LOVES</i> the characters.

It's pretty safe to say now that these thoughts came upon me after...wait for it...watching TW Season 3. Yeah, I actually, finally watched it. After all, how can I really get angry if I don't see for myself, right? So I put the aly that is the wuss behind me, took a xanax and watched (I'm not sure anymore if I'm entirely grateful for downloads *G*).

Since there will undoubtedly be the same spoilers everyone is hiding and that I've already talked about TWICE, the rest of this...whatever it is...is under the famous cut.
