Let's start this off by saying, simply: Nobody on Live Journal is 'brand new'.

That is to say that information travels fast here. So I know damn well that when someone
tried to put the kabosh on the exploitation of the MM & EJO pics, within 24 hours everyone
in an LJ community consisting of Adama & Roslin fans, Roslin fans, Mary McDonnell fans
and any other related fandom, therein, KNEW ABOUT THOSE PICTURES! So, I am not even
going to entertain the people who claim someone people who have no problem using the
pics as ICON are unaware. Spare me.

The truth is this: I am pissed off. Why am I pissed off you may ask? Because I saw those
pics on Facebook. I even had a few friends who are also friends of the photographer post
those pics on my profile. I was elated. I was grateful. It was an awesome gesture. But not
once did I think, "Oh! Let me take these on over to every fandom in the universe and exploit
them!" Or, "Let me ignore the fact that these are personal pics from someone's photo album
on Facebook, and make some icons outta them." Who does that?

If they were your pictures, would you have appreciated this? Would you have turned a blind eye
if say, one day you met Mary and Eddie and took a pic or two with them and you treasured the
moment and put it on your personal space on Facebook and then, let's say some fangirls
decided they had the right to take them, not credit you, and drop them every where so they could
fawn and drool and whatever else they do?


Fuck no! You would be pissed! I know plenty of LJers who don't like people taking pics off
their journals without asking. And even when you ask it's an emphatic NO. I know LJers who
have yet to share their Dragon Con pics. And that is their right. It's everyone right to protect
THEIR SHIT. So yeah, this is why I am pissed. Because everyone on LJ should know better.

Anyone using that pic is doing it because they don't give a shit. There is no excuse. As awesome
as those pics are, and as badly as I want to take them to kinkos and blow them up and turn them
into posters, I won't. Why? Because I practice restraint. Oh, and because I have respect!

♪ CHRISTMAS MUSIC SHARING MEME ♪
'Tis the season to be jolly, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

That is very important ;) Mostly because I love things like that, also I will probably haunt the place in search of good Christmas music.

I know I've been really unactive lately, but that will all change. Also, I was wondering if anyone would feel like sending me postcards, parcels or something? My first Christmas away from home, also no one ever sends me anything over here, so it'd be great to have something. Also, it'd give me stuff to put it up on my noticeboard :)

You don't have to, but I think it'd be great. I'll make plenty of more 'I'm excited about Christmas' posts, because I'm really looking forward to it this year. I hope that it'll be great. Tomorrow me and my roommate are going to IKEA and buying Christmas decorations :)

I totally have the urge to do a huge picspam with a bunch of "Best of the Decade" lists at the end of the year. Like best movies of the decade, best TV shows, characters, episodes, etc. I don't know if I'll have time, though. My finals go all the way until December 19th this year, and then there'll be a bunch of stuff going on with Christmas and New Year's and all that. But we'll see. Maybe by me mentioning it, I'll actually do it.

( Ugly Betty )

Am I the only one who still watches Ugly Betty? I'm guessing so. Not that I blame anyone. Most of the time I wonder why I'm still watching it (although it has been better this season so far, IMO). Seriously, the reasons I still watch Ugly Betty are basically: Marc, Amanda, Justin, Marc/Justin friendship, and Daniel occasionally. That's pretty much it. If the show could just be about them and not Betty and her stupid drama, then I would be all for that.

The complete series of Farscape is coming out on DVD next Tuesday and it's on sale for only like $75! Oh man, I am so tempted to buy it! $75 for 4 seasons is a ridiculously amazing deal! That's less than $20 a season! If I saw like season 2 by itself randomly listed as $20, I would get it immediately, no questions asked! But... $75 is a lot to spend in one go when I don't have the job and have no intention of getting a job anytime soon. On the other hand, I haven't bought a DVD set with my own money (meaning, not given to me as a gift or bought with gift cards for Barnes and Noble or Amazon) since... high school? I've been super cheap since I graduated from high school, and even during high school I was pretty cheap and wouldn't buy DVD sets that often. And I did have a job the summer before last and made about $1200 in all, and I don't need that money to pay for food/housing/etc.; I've just been saving it for the most part. Well, some of it has gone for gas (although not a whole lot since I don't have a car here; I only use my car at home, and I'm at home for less than half the year, and I don't go out that often). But for the most part, I haven't spent any of that money. So maybe I should splurge for once and buy it? IT'S OVER 50% OFF THE LISTED PRICE! LESS THAN $20 A SEASON! THERE'S FREE SHIPPING! As cheap as I am, I really cannot resist a sale. And I do adore the show, so I'd definitely want to get the seasons on DVD at some point in my life.

Ok, I think I've convinced myself to buy it. If there's ever a point in my life where I'm totally out of money and wish I had $75 left to pay rent or buy food or something, remind me of this moment.

Collection agencies can be annoying here on Earth, but it's even worse in deep space.

We're not sure whether the crew of the Battlestar Galactica got a bit behind, or if it was a computer error, but whatever the reason, the Caprica Collection Agency starts badgering for those back payments in this fan video. Good thing Commander Adama and President Roslin know just how to handle the situation!
