In Birmingham, after a bit of a delay. It wasn't fun getting in so late last night and I really appreciate all the airport sympathy. Traveling can be so frustrating sometimes.

I watched American idol and now I'm wondering why they even bothered to have them sing again because the ones they put through were obviously decided before they ever took the stage. I hate the new format and when I think that David Cook most likely would not have made it through, let alone win if he'd been subjected to this format, it makes me crazy.

( spoiler thoughts )You know what I'm so disappointed with the competition so far I don't even have the energy for a significant rant. *sighs*

So I need something to make me giggle and Ith supplied it. It turns out that with a little coding you can turn anyones user name into something else.

For example I, strangevisitor7 can really become strangevisitor7

Then egorstandish becomes egorstandish and conjured_1 becomes conjured_1.

Thanks for showing how to do this ithildyn; otherwise known as ithildyn.


You can play too. Just replace the '[' with '<' and fill in the person's username and what you want to call them
[lj user="username" title="example"]

Did my duty and voted. No lines at all - I couldn't believe it. The entire thing took fifteen minutes. Now the suspense is killing me!

Democracy rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just finished watching episode two of The Sarah Conner Chronicles and while I'm still deciding if I like the show there was one thing that I just found it so humorous.

The Conner's new identities are from Lawrence, Kansas. Bad Choice. Don't they know about all the strange and bad things that happen to people from Kansas. Really don't they already have enough problems.

Thanks to my flist for sharing my pain. There is good news - the new DVR is installed and the cable is back so SPN will be waiting when I get home. *happy dance*

Of course the bad news is all the memory could not be transfered. So it looks like I will be spending lots of money on itunes. *adds costs* NCIS, Bones, Heroes, House, Eureka....X $1.99 = $$ but so worth it :)

Thank you all so much for the links and the reminder about itunes.

I love premier week! Some spoilers ahead. Odd ramblings of a TV addict.


( Cut for spoilers )

My life has been so hectic these past weeks. Working 3rd shift, in Delaware and now in Birmingham, again. I have lost track of time and dates. But not today.

So, I sit here getting ready to fly to Atlanta. It seems so odd to be getting on a plane today. I've never seen an airport so empty and it seems my connection through Atlanta is on time. That may be a first.

When I realized I'd be flying on Sept 11th I felt a pang. Should I do this? Was it in some way disrespectful?

I realize for some the world will never be the same and my heart goes out to them. In the end, I decided it was a positive statement to fly on this day and I am glad that I am.

idontlikegravy and I have created a Flash Fiction Community for Highlander.

We would be so grateful if you could help publicize this community! If you know of communities where we should post our announcement, please let us know. Also, we would appreciate any entires in your personal journals informing the Highlander world of our little community.

Thanks!

sierraphoenix you are truly inspirational. I really appreciated everyone who contributed to that discussion about Dean's immortality and Sammy with Sarah. I literally wrote the next story in the series in 30 minutes. It was one of those sit up in bed grab the paper and write before its gone moments. I will still have to edit it but wow it was a real Eureka moment. I don't think I ever written anything that fast. I just hope it looks as good in the morning as it felt writing it down.

So, anyone else out there ever have inspiration for a story or artistic work hit so fast it made you head spin. Just curious. What did it feel like for you?
