Lately my computer has been shutting down and rebooting for no apparent reason, so I finally checked what’s going on. Apparently the fan on the motherboard is dead and my computer is overheating. A provisional solution is to open up the computer case and bring normal ventilator near the motherboard. It’s awfully loud, but it works.
Tomorrow I’m going to make a complete idiot out of myself in the nearest computer shop by asking how to replace a fan. Guys who work in those shops (and they are always guys) tend to be the biggest jerks I've ever met.

x-posted to lj from dw, let's see if this works...

I'm into another cop show and this one’s worth owning.
Mystery novelist Rick Castle (Nathan Fallion!!!) and Detective Kate Beckett join forces to solve strange homicides in New York.
The show plays on chemistry between them and Castle is adorable as “a wiseass – not a jackass”.

And finally, I’ve got a proper layout! It took me a year... Steady and slow wins the race I guess=)
For a while LJ has been randomly replacing icons. Just when I thought it’s over I got a new userpic. It’s Amalthea from The Last Unicorn. Oh, how I loved this film. I think I might still have it somewhere on a video tape. I even bought the book.

On a fanish note, here is the last interview with Bradley & Colin. It’s pure gold. They’re such BOYS!

Interviewer: (about casting Arthur) He’s very spoiled...
Bradley: Which makes me wonder why they picked me! (Oh, Bradley!)

I: Was it hard work? (running around with a sword)
Bradley: No. I’d feel very cheeky saying it’s hard work when you’re enjoying yourself that much.

I: There’s a great story one of you nearly didn’t go to the audition.
Colin: No.
Bradley: I'm sorry to leave you hanging here. I can make a story up!

I got up ridiculously early this morning to download BSG, only to find out it wasn’t available yet:(
So I watched webepisodes instead. And when I finally watched the ep I was stunned.


Spoilers )

I didn't like the final scene of Enemy at the Gate. It should be about the team, not Keller, so I decided to get rid of her:)
In the beginning I was going to manip only J&R, but I decided to include Teyla, Ronon and others. I kind of liked Amelia, so I left her alone.
You can find the original photo here at Gateworld.

Youtube deleted my vid and I’m mightly pissed off! Does anyone know a site where they just don’t do this?
Imeem seems to be pretty popular, but I don’t use it, so it’s hard to tell if getting an account there is even worth the effort. Oh, and Filefront stopped streaming my files, apparently *avi format is just too difficult for their encoding engine. *headdesk*

First of all, sorry to my flist for disappearing from the internet without replying to your comments.
The last two months of my life were awful, hopefully the next two won't be so bad. But when in trouble, I just focus on solving my problems and tend to forget about everything else. The worst thing is, with hindsight, I could have made one different decision and easily save myself a lot of trouble.

Secondly, thank you very much to whoever nominated my vid for the McKay/Sheppard Fan Awards. You made my day, hell, you made my year:) Virtual cookies for you!

In between family gatherings I got a present: Stargate Continuum on DVD! Apparently my dad listens to me and is made of awesome :D
As always special features are without Polish or English subtitles. There’re Russian and Thai… seriously, Thai! I understand everything, but when actors are talking about MiGs or glaciers it’d be so much easier to listen while reading damn subtitles.
I won’t even start about the ridiculous summary on the cover. If I knew nothing about Continuum, I would never buy it. Who writes these things?

My shiny DVD *g* )

I spent this evening translating old Russian rock songs for a friend, who fell madly in love with Ukrainian. And now she is obsessing over him and their relationship and I have to translate his shitty favourite songs... But I like one of them so I’ll share: Breath by Nautilus Pompilius.
Nice lyrics even if singer is nothing special:)

Today is [livejournal.com profile] from_the_corner's birthday!

Happy Birthday! Here is teddy for You:

Due to two weddings, flu and poor weather I couldn’t force myself to do anything useful. So I watched three seasons of Criminal Minds on youtube and got hooked. Obviously I’ve got a thing for shows with socially-retarded geniuses.
On the other hand I had great hopes for Fringe, was so sure that Joshua Jackson (♥Pacey ♥) will be enough to keep me interested, but unfortunately the story is too improbable even for me... Funny, how SGA isn’t!

On more optimistic note, I made gołąbki (stuffed cabbage leaves) and *suprise* they're tasty!

First there was denial, then anger. Then came the conspiracy theory - no doubt tptb were planning this the entire time;)
And then I made a very short vid for Fight For SGA without clips from SGA...

Some time ago I started a Tayla/Kanaan vid, but it somehow expanded into a story of Teyla’s failed relationships.
I decided to post it before I'll be tempted to re-edit it again;)
Feedback is


Song: Beautiful Disaster by Kelly Clarkson
Pairings: Teyla/Kanaan, Teyla/Michael, Teyla/Ford (and no Teyla/Sheppard because I like their friendship too much to do it *grins*)
Spoilers: up to 5x03

It’s been a while, but this is how it is with RL issues (which are not resolved yet, but I do what I can).
And I’m back for one of the most hilarious SGA episodes ever. Although it probably wasn’t writer’s intention.

So, here is the list of things I loved the most:
1/ Teyla actually learned something useful during last four years, our two machos with gun fetish… not so much
2/ Sheppard’s insane belief that Ronan would be any good with the “red button” was highly entertaining. (Use the force Luke…err Ronon *snicker*) If only it would be this simple...
3/ What I loved even more was the fact that Ronon failed spectacularly (as he should, having no training at all).
4/ And the icing on the cake: We are the Borg! – someone watched waaaaay too much Star Trek! :D
5/ Oh and Rodney got to hold the kid! And didn’t drop him! Yay!

Conclusion:
Sheppard was his useless self, then McKay saved the day with Teyla’s help (like in Tabula Rasa! I might even search for Teyla/Rodney het *snicker*) And now I go to sleep:)

I’ve got a cold and feel miserable. Also I'm extremely bored because there’s nothing on TV, so I made a vid. It’s not exactly how I hoped it would turn out, but isn’t that how it usually is?

Last week I had too much work, but it’s over now, and I finally managed to watch the season finale. Yay me!

I liked it, because we got Rodney-goodness. I’m easy like that. *coughs*
And I loved Rodney’s interactions with Sam. After 10 years on SG-1 she’s not exactly sane, so her lone battle was in character. But where was Larrin? The Travelers fleet? The Genii?

And last, but not least – Keller. I knew she was flirting with Rodney in Trio! So it’s nice to have some continuity, even if it’s only alternative timeline and not my pairing :)
