if I stay up late, the library will open on time...

it's like living in WoWz - Hasbro is having a "Galactic Hunt" this year, with special figures that have stickers and if you buy all the figures and send in their UPCs you'll get a super special George Lucas stormtrooper...

I'd laugh...if I wasn't slightly interested.

ToyFair started this week too, RebelScum has photos of the event here

faeriesfolly pointed this lovely site out to me the other day - it's a Harry Potter quote index! A fun time waster if ever I saw one.

both toothlesshag and zaubervz got out of work/school tomorrow because of the snow piled up outside. So far, no word from the library. I was hoping for at least a delayed opening/start time since it's probably all going to freeze up overnight.

Last night, we lost power around 2am. I was all snuggled into bed, playing one last round of Lumines and them that lovely powering down sound, so I had to hop out of bed and help jimithingy shut down all the electronics before they got zapped. Which, it turns out, wasn't too big of an issue as the power pretty much stayed off until about 10am this morning. It was so very cold. Also, neither of us got much sleep because we are so used to having all these random noises - a fan, the heat, the computers humming, the dishwasher - so much white noise and suddenly silence. jimithingy told me that I breathe very loudly, ala Val Kilmer.

So, I went to update my MySpace page today because it's hip for the kids. Actually, whats really funny is that all these people at work half a MySpace - half because they are part of the online generation and the other half because they are parents trying to figure out the online generation. Anyway, I still do not understand the attraction to MySpace. Everytime I log on, it gives me error messages and "cannot find" and i know full well it's right there. I thought it might be Firefox but dstntp1lgr1m said that's what he uses and if it caused that much trouble for him, why keep doing it. Maybe my computer just rejects MySpace. Which is fine because livejournal is just so much better. A million times. I mean, I attempted to read the blogs page on MySpace and it was just icky to look at. Yes, I am a broken records - MySpace is lame, yes of course I have one, please be my friend, then get a livejournal.....

updated my graphic novel read/ing list which probably means i should post something to novel_graphics!

And don't forget about the oh-so-fun personality meme!

a bit of the serious, a bit of the not so much.

Interesting interview with Sir Ian McKellan. He comments on the success of 'Brokeback Mountain' and how he feels, while it may lead to more movies about homosexuals, he doubts that actors who are homosexual will be cast in the rolls.

( X-Men personality quiz )

Discuss.

and the WTF!? award goes to....

Joss Whedon! That man is on some heavy medication. I mean, look at the entry tags!

In other Buffy news - there's some ToyFair coverage of upcoming Buffy figures! I especially like the Wezzles in the pink shirt with his sleeves rolled up. Though "Randy Giles" might be too funny to pass up.

And my lame wesley icon got me eliminated from ats_lims, but that's okay. I have far too many lims on my list anyhow. And it wasn't a very good icon and I knew it. I did, however, survive (barely) the first round of the_showcase! (I'm so sorry you got bumped faeriesfolly, I think you did a really good job!)

As spitefairy said: KERMY!!!

For dstntp1lgr1m - you could probably make Jack do whatever you want if you had this

OH, and Serenity fans - imabandmagnet says that the t-shirts are starting to show up at Hot Topic, so start checking your local stores. You know how us Joss fans are, once the merch is out, we pounce!!!

I might get throttled!

shady dealings going on at Netflix. Luckily I don't think I would be considered a "heavy renter". I mean, I try to get at least one new disc per month, but I'm wondering how often these people send their stuff back that the computer has started bumping them. *wags finger at Netflix* don't make me angry, I like you.
