I have a dilemma. On the side of my blog right over there --->
is a big white empty spot. It used to be a countdown timer for Doctor who episodes, but since it appears that BBC America took it down it is no longer functioning. Leaving my blog with a big blank hole in it. I should probably just get rid of the code and the hole would go away, but...
Well, I still am in a bit of denial that there are no new Doctor Who episodes until the fall, and taking down the countdown makes me sad. Even though nothing is there.
So until I move from my denial into another stage of mourning the hole will remain. In memory and hope that Doctor Who will return to us soon...
So, because I have no life really like Amy Pond, I decided that an important detail in any Amy cosplay is the nail polish. Which led me to going through my dvds of Series 6 to get screencaps of the various colors of her nail polish.
Let me tell you, it's not as easy as it sounds. Even I thought I'd have this little project done in an hour or two tops. It was more tedious than I thought because it took a while to go through each of the episodes and skim through to wait for a good angle or shot of Amy's nails. The other reason it took me a while is because I kept getting distracted and taking regular caps of shots that I liked. But, I'm all done now and you guys get to enjoy the fruits of my labor! I apologize in advance; some of the shots aren't that good quality and I enlarged them to make it a little easier to see her nails.
Remember how I said that since I am on vacation I'd post more?
Yeah, sorry about that. I've spent more than half of this winter break sick and my mental capacity to do anything is shot to hell. But I have a couple things I've been working on.
One is a new Doctor Who fanfic. I already wrote it up but I want to fix it a bit before I let you wonderful people read it.
The second is a post about my visit to one of the main locations seen on White Collar. I won't say which location so as to keep it a bit of a surprise, but it was fun to go visit, I'll say that.
The third is a collection of images to show the colors of Amy's nail polish throughout Series 6. I'll get to Series 5 next.
Also, I'll probably have up a quick movie review of Captain America because I watched it a few days ago with a friend and I have a few thoughts to share about it.
Thanks again for sticking around and reading! You guys are awesome.
I was doing so well with keeping this fairly regularly updated and I had readers and I was getting comments and everything was shiny... And then November came.
November is a rough month because of NaNo as I'm sure I mentioned in one of my previous posts. Not to mention that's when college finals start heating up. Unfortunately this year I did not complete my 50,000 word goal for a number of reasons.
Number 1: I got lazy, plain and simple. And I'm not afraid to admit it. Well, maybe a little afraid but there you go.
Number 2: I absolutely hated the first story I tried to write and ended up trying to start up a new story but because of some personal reasons I ended up hating the second idea more than the first, and by that time it was November 15 and I decided to stop stressing myself out and bow out.
Now, why did I not return to my blog? A little bit of embarrassment perhaps, but mostly finals started to take hold and I decided that the internet distracts me enough without adding my blog to the mix.
There you basically have why I haven't updated in almost two months. I'd like to get back to this, though, so now that I'm on my winter break maybe I'll get back to this.
If anyone is still out there, thanks for sticking around and coming back, and happy new year!
For National Novel Writing Month last year I wrote a zombie story. I completed my 50,000 word goal before November 30, and then I put the story aside for a while to give myself a break from the marathon of writing but during the year I kept working on it until now I consider it finished.
I'd like to edit it so it lends itself more to be easily read and to make it a better story in general. Once I'm done with that I don't know what I'll do with it, but it's fun to think that I actually wrote and completed a story. In my Word doc it's 109 pages with standard size font and all that.
Just for fun I thought I'd put up about the first page, so if you're interested in zombie stories then feel free to read on.
And then I recommend going to Amazon.com and checking out two fantastic zombie stories by Mira Grant called "Feed" and "Deadline". I'm waiting on the third book of the trilogy, "Blackout" to be released next year.
Your're in control,
Pressing pause on my heartbeat,
Someone stole all the air,
So I can't speak,
Now,
I know,
The chase, is on,
I feel, as though,
My time, has come
How many times do I fly through your head space?
Now it's speeding away from the safe place,
Yeah,
Your skin,
Your touch,
The kiss,
You rush, too much,
And here it comes
When your lips touch mine,
It's the kiss of life,
I know, I know that it's a little bit frightening,
We might aswell be playing with lightning,
We touch like,
Like it's out first time,
Oh oh,
I know it is a little bit frightening,
We might aswell be playing with lightning now.
Oh oh,
Just you and me and the coats in the back room,
Learning things they don't teach in the classroom,
Now,
You're here,
I feel, the fear
Now everything,
Is oh so clear
Been addicted to you since the first hit,
Out of control like a surge of electric,
Now,
Your skin,
Your touch,
The kiss,
You rush, too much,
And here it comes,
When your lips touch mine,
It's the kiss of life,
I know, I know that it's a little bit frightening,
We might aswell be playing with lightning,
We touch like,
Like it's out first time,
Oh oh,
I know it is a little bit frightening,
We might aswell be playing with lightning now.
Oh oh,
Oh oh,
Oh oh,
Oh oh,
Your skin,
The touch,
The kiss,
Too much
Your skin,
The touch,
The kiss,
The rush
Your skin,
The touch,
The kiss,
Too much
The rush,
The rush,
The rush,
The rush,
When your lips touch mine,
It's the kiss of life,
I know, I know that it's a little bit frightening,
We might aswell be playing with lightning,
We touch like,
Like it's our first time,
Oh oh,
I know it is a little bit frightening,
We might aswell be playing with lightning now.
Oh oh,
Oh oh.

The guy that I used to roleplay online with as Rory posted a portion of this lyrics to me so I had to go find the song on YouTube. I actually really enjoyed it and have been listening to it fairly constantly since. Even better? It's set to come out in the US this month so go check it out!
Last year I participated in National Novel Writing Month and my plan is to try again this year. The whole idea is to write 50,000 words from November first until midnight November 30. Last year I completed the goal, but I know I had a lot of urging from one of my very good friends online. This year, however, since she won't be online as often so I'll have to yell at myself to write. If anyone else out there wants to help each other write and work through the month let me know. We can yell (encourage) each other together.
Otherwise I'll be trying to make myself write every day. Or at least finish 50,000 words by the end of November.
Let's see how well this goes over.
This probably means blog posts will slow, but I'll try to schedule some things to go up to keep you entertained.
