Fighting depression with memes. That WIP meme.

Ask me about any of my stories, or anything about what I've mentioned working on, or something you'd like to see me work on, and I'll share what I have (without too much spoiling), or tell you where I'mgoing/what I'd do.

A very useful toy: Zap colors.

Talking to [livejournal.com profile] amothea, I learned I have a toy that everyone needs, but not everyone has.

Sick of purple on dark blue text? Found a site or LJ layout that thinks pale grey writing on lilac is a great idea? Linked to a story and found big annoying graphic in someone's layout? Sick and tired of Area52's grey, grey, grey?

Zap colors! (And a lot of other annoyances). Just click, and you have a clean white background with black text. Ah.

It's scary (and quite telling) how often I use this.

Donate clean water by playing a game? I can do that.

From [livejournal.com profile] squishtoy:



Well, if I'm bummed out, at least I can do something for world. Donating clean water by playing a game? I can do that. [livejournal.com profile] squishtoy did much better than I did (I didn't realize that you had to put the flag not just in the right country, but near the city they give you -- and then I did worse when I started doing that, ha). WG is going to blow this game away. He can list all those countries in Africa.

Though I'm quite proud I nailed Thimphu, Bhutan. (Psst. It's tiny and next to Nepal.)

Stargate Atlantis was canceled.

Stargate Atlantis is canceled.

Well, shit.

I miss fandoms like Harry Potter. No one would ever cancel J. K. Rowling.

I'll watch the Stargate Atlantis movies because I love the characters. I feel jerked around by the SciFi channel and I'd cancel my cable subscription if I had one. I'd considered getting cable so I could watch Stargate when it aired.

So I'm canceling my thought to ever get cable. There.

Stargate Ultimate or Stargate Ultimatum or whatsit? Since SciFi just canceled two Stargate shows I have hard time imagining them going for it. Although as my stepdad once said, more sci-fi is always good. But I don't trust the SciFi channel to stick with the show and can't feel upbeat about the idea. If rising costs in Canada are an issue then it would have to be a much cheaper, much crappier show.

Besides. I want my John and Rodney. *squishes them to my chest and won't let go*
