Like Shooting Stars

 So here's my first set of vids from Dragon*Con - This is a complete video set of the 'Hollywood North' panel that featured Shanks, Alaina Huffman, and Mark Sheppard (this was going on at the same time as a Stargate panel...which I have yet to see...my priority was with Shanks. XP).

( 'Hollywood North' )

Not sure when I'll be getting the others up - I'm having a lot of issues with converting and rate at which they load onto youtube. (Frelling figures)

To hear those words come out of Michael Shanks' mouth in reference to ME...well...my life is officially complete...

Aaaanywho, I come bearing more pretties and a couple of notes that will come after the pretties...

Note: There are some pics here that AREN'T photo ops...I don't mind if you use them, as long as the proper credit is given. Also, I still haven't bothered with resizing, so be prepared.


( Ooooo, what's behind the pretteh cut??? XD )

Okay, that's all I'm gonna post for now. Shockingly, I'm quite exhausted (yeah, I know...not expected WHATSOEVER!)...I'm gonna head off to bed...possibly watch me a bit of MMPR before sleep.

 So the other night, after making the new header, I decided I really wanted to make a new wall for Lord Danny. But I didn't really get a chance until today to work on something. I decided to go with the same kinda scheme as my new header, but with a Daniel theme (and obviously a bit of tweaking with the design). This is what came of it:




Well, my friend weirtoo  asked me if I could make something with both Shanks AND Lexa on it like my desktop for them to sign at Dragon*Con. Still feeling in a creative mood, I agreed. And then she started getting all excited and wanted to send me all her VanCon pics of Shanks' panel so I could work with those (she was intending to send/give them to me anyways). Aaaanywho, these two pieces came out of her requests -

   


You can use them if you wish (not that anyone necessarily WOULD - but I already had a few people ask). There's lots of 'empty' space because they were originally intended to be autographed, but the empty space shouldn't really be a problem b/c it give you somewhere to place your icons (I so had when desktops are obstructed by icons!)

I already have more graphic requests lined up, so look out for more stuff coming out in the next few weeks.

*cue up random bombardment of life stuffs and thoughts*


~ As fast as the days seem to be going by, it seems like this semester will never end! I want to go HOME! I do love being at school and really this semester, at least classes wise and living wise, isn't horrible. I just miss my mommy and my kitties and just being HOME. Get it - I want to be HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!


~ I do not approve of the judges choice for this week's cut guy on SYTYCD. I mean, there was a style there that...*sigh* And he KILLED in that solo. Way more than the guy they kept! Totally baffled and angered (And I am aware of their names - I'm just trying to keep it as spoiler free as possible b/c I don't feel like using a cut! XP ).


~ Canucks are proving their own, even with all their injured players! Last night's game was a hoot to watch. The fighting was epic, the WINNING was fantastic, Raycroft and Kesler were on fire, AND CANUCKS ENDED UP TRENDING ON THE TWITTERWEBZ! Last night, it was so fulfilling to be a 'Nucks fan! XD And in related news, I SO hope Kesler makes it on Team U.S.A for the Olympics! That would rock awesomepops and I'd have something to look forward to watching when the Olympics come up in February!


~ I am so amazed and shocked at how many people in my History class AGREE that the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII was the RIGHT course of action! And how many also agree that the use of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima was the right course of action. Maybe it's just the Daniel Jackson in me (*points* hehe, my mind went to the DIRTY place there), but I think both were WRONG. O.o


~ I kinda sorta really wish it was time for ChiCon/ D*C again...but I AM excited to see what comes out of LA Con this coming weekend. *nods*


~ Was fucked over by the bank again. THANK YOU  horrible banking system of FAIL. THANK YOU!


~ Thinking it's time for a new Pony. Haven't gotten a new one since the summer...I feel the urge to get another one. The current lot is staring at me like 'Come on, we need a new addition to your plastic pony minions!' Maybe I can persuade Madre to get me another when I go HOME (yes, that place again) in THREE WEEKS. I've always been successful before...I'm sure I can swing it again! XD


Yep, think that's it for now. My tummy is talking to me - time to make some eats. :)


~Pip

Again, proof why Dragon*Con is a con one needs to attend at least ONCE in their lifetime. Because it rocks AWESOMEPOPS!




~Pip

It may be taking me a while, but I'm slowly getting these vids out to you. This batch is from the Sunday Stargate Supergate Panel with everyone (except Gary and Colin).


Again, same apologies apply - except in place for all my screaming, you get the cough of doom that plagued me all frelling weekend (and robbed me of my voice, which is why I couldn't scream - though I tried a handful of times). Also, apologize for missing some of the antics the guests were up to...it was hard to catch them all on the camera at once and I was watching them rather than the camera. LOL!


Anywho, here we go...

( Superpanel of Awesome )

There's only one more panel to post, and that is the other Farscape panel with Ben and Claudia. And again, I still have the two vids from the SGMT auction if you guys wanna see that.


~Pip

As promised, more vids are forthcoming. These are from the Men of SG-1 panel from the con -  Ben, Gary, and Colin took part in this one. And I'll say it was frelling funny as fuck (was gonna say hell, but couldn't resist the alliteration) to begin with, but that SPIT-TAKE just put it over the top and made it rockin' awesomepops! XD


The same warnings from before apply - Apologies for the screaming and the shaky camera stuff. Also, this was in the Atrium room like the Paul panel, so once again the lighting was horrible for the camera stuff. I haven't watched much of any of this set (though I do know i got that spit-take on camera!), so if there's anything else I should be warning for, i don't know it! *snirk*


Enjoy!


( Men of SG-1 )


The next set should be from the Stargate Supergate Panel from the Sunday - those will either be up later tonight or sometime tomorrow. And again, let me know if you'd like to see the videos I have from the SGMT auction with Paul McGillion as the emcee.


~Pip

So, finally decided to forgo watching these before hand and just started uploading them to the youtubez. I just don't have enough time right now to sit and watch each individual one, and I won't make you guys wait any longer.


Notes for this set of vids:

~ At this point, my cheering ability is still pretty strong so I once again apologize for my screaming into the camera.
~ Of course, also at this point, the cough of doom was taking a strong hold so apologies for that.
~ Still holding the camera up all on my own throughout the entire panel, so sorry for the shakiness and/or horrible angles at times (I try to watch the actual panel myself rather than through the camera, so sometimes I don't realize right away that I'm not holding it right! XP)
~ Try and ignore the ass who kept holding up the camera in the air (while he was in the FRONT fucking row - not necessary! *angry eyes*)

That should be it - enjoy!

( Some Farscape Panel Fun )


The plan is to get the remaining vids I have up throughout the weekend, so keep an eye out for those. Idk if I'll be loading the SG-1 Supergate Panel next, or the other Farscape one. If anyone has any preference, just drop a comment here about which you'd like to see first. Oh, and I also have some vids of the SGMT Charity Auction that Paul emcee'd. If you'd like to see those, let me know.


~Pip

Just a few updates on things and such:


- Haven't heard back about the whole major change/advising situation yet. Figured I wouldn't, but I was still hopeful. I'm gonna wait, see what happens this week. I have too much to do to deal with it directly right now. By friday, if I haven't heard anything, I'll go to the advising first directly and see what's up.

- Because I have completely AWESOME friends on twitter, I now have the means to pay for the first month of GameCenter. I can't watch the game going on right now b/c the transfer of funds from my paypal account into my bank account hasn't gone through yet (paypal said by Wednesday, it should be there), but I will be able to watch games once the season officially starts! *dances* And it gives me plenty of time to save up money for when it'll come out next month. Still considering getting rid of netflix, too. It's a hard decision, though.

- NCIS tomorrow night! Have been waiting anxiously to see what happens, and from the preview I've seen, I think my shippy little NCIS brabbits are going to be pleased. Honestly, even if it's just the usual UST between Tony and Ziva, I'll be happy. Going all summer without it in a new form was torture!

- I haven't forgotten about the vids from D*C that haven't been posted. Or other various things I never got posted (pics and such, con-related and otherwise) - I'll try my best to get those types of things posted asap. Probably not until Thursday, right now, at the earliest. I have too much school work to deal with, on TOP of other fandom obligations.

Alrighty, I have to go wash my dishes and then I'm hoping to finish The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I have less than a 100 pages to go, and the book is so easy to read that I have NO EXCUSE for not finishing it tonight! I might even start Voyage of the Dawn Treader as well (yes, I know i'm skipping a few, but i need to read the ones relative to the class and PAPER - due Thursday - first).


~Pip

As promised, I come with vids from the first SG panel from Dragon*Con. It was originally supposed to be Paul and Joe on the panel, but Joe missed his plane so it ended up being just the Paul McGillion show. It was still a fun hour and it's provided here for y'alls enjoyment.

Some notes before hand:

~ The lighting was horribly bright on stage and my poor little camera couldn't compensate. So I apologize for the quality of that.
~ I have a tendency to cheer (or scream depending on how you wanna put it) loudly, so I'm sorry for screaming quite literally into the camera.
~ I was holding the camera up myself throughout the entire panel (my arms got rather tired, but I refused to stop), so that is why certain parts are shaky and/or completely out of control.

The first vid is so short b/c I'm a dumbass and accidentally hit the record button after it was already recording (thus stopping the recording - brilliant!). And the last vid is extra extra short b/c it was the end of his panel - but I wanted to get everything, including his goodbye.

Otherwise, hope you guys enjoy - videoed it all for you who couldn't attend! ;)
