More adventures in glass fusing [July 26, 2008 @ 4:13pm] __kali__ [ mood | cheerful ] Last week I went on a quite brilliant glass fusing course in Oswestry. Behind the cut are photos of all the stuff I made in the kiln waiting to be fused. There were about 7 people attending the glass with three members of staff who were all very knowledgeable. They'd just bought a microwaveable kiln (a bigger version of the one I got) so I was able to tell them how it worked and give them some little tips as I've done a fair bit of messing around with mine. Once I have everything back I'll take photos of all the afters. ( photos!> <a href= ) Read .. (4) .. Post A Comment

Just a fly-by [July 25, 2008 @ 1:54pm] domfangirl [ mood | cheerful ] I'm going to see The Dark Knight again tomorrow! Can't wait. We're still watching S3 of 90210 and one episode was directed by Bobby Roth while another was directed by Jack Bender! If you know who those people are, you are like me. If you don't know who they are, you're like my roommate who just looked at me strangely when I w00ted over recognizing their names. I'm definitely going Friends Only, just as soon as I can go back and lock all my old entries. Yeah, it could be a few days. I'll leave my fanfics that are here unlocked (except my RPFs which have always been locked), and I won't be locking my fic only journal anyway. Have a great weekend everybody! Read .. (2) ..

Randomosity [July 25, 2008 @ 6:31pm] __kali__ [ mood | bitchy ] Various links from around my flist: The 10 Most Amazing Ghost towns Screech from Saved by the Bell is writing a tell-all book. I can't believe that it was all sex and drigs and rock 'n' roll on SbtB. Harvey Kietel IS Gene Hunt, apparently - I've still not seen the US pilot. I think it's for the best. John Barrowman IS Captain America? maybe, possibly - LOL, but no. But LOL. Over on YouTube - John Barrowman and Naoko Mori sing highlights from Miss Saigon - Gareth David-Lloyd just looks a bit bemused sat in the middle of them. Bless him. thefannishwaldo liveblogs the Doctor Who panel at the SD Comic Con. Interesting to note that Russell T Davies is writing the Torchwood scripts and the Moff is writing the first script of S5. According to the Sun Freema's ruined Torchwood and RTD has crossed her off his Christmas list. I did have a big rant attached to this about people slagging off Freema's acting, about how her acting is better than a lot of what passes for acting on Hollyoaks, still learning her trade, how it is required that you love Crossroads if you're a Brummie and how she can't be all that bad if she's getting jobs in loads of other things (unlike Emma Watson, who I've seen her compared to recently), but LJ crashed and it only saved the links in the drafts so it's a rant that's lost now to the mists of time. Which is probably for the best. And a quick thing on Bonekickers: Do they only have a £10 budget for the sets? I've been caving in and around Avon/Witshire and I've never seen any bright red caves dusted in gold glitter. I must have been going to the wrong caves, obviously. For all its massive faults - I still can't stop watching it though. Read .. (11) .. Post A Comment

новая брюнетка?.. [July 25, 2008 @ 5:13pm] reut ехали с мамой в машине, что-то играло на фоне. - это твой Брюно? - нет, хочешь поставлю? по какому-то наитию поставила именно "GrosZorchestre". мама перестала болтать, прислушалась. через какое-то время: - слушай, а он действительно хорошо поет. - да что ты говоришь?!?! :) - отлично, очень профессионально. и эта песня, и та, предыдущая. Julie Lamontagne получила от мамы тоже отдельный комплимент. если учесть, что мама у меня профессиональный музыкант с консерваторским образованием и несколькими десятками лет опыта - ее комплименты стоят дорого. закончилась наша поездка моим обещанием перекинуть ей весь диск на ее mp3-player.

но зато... [July 25, 2008 @ 4:30pm] reut когда ноги зарылись в пока еще не раскаленный с утра песок, я вдруг подумала, продолжая свой какой-то внутренний диалог: "но зато у нас есть море..." почему зато? за какое то? не знаю...

искусственный интеллект [July 25, 2008 @ 3:39pm] reut о том, как неважно переводят online переводчики, я слышала, но сама особо не проверяла: тексты, которыe читаю, написаны в основном на языках, в которых мне нужно проверять отдельные слова, не более. а вот вчера очень захотелось понять, что написано на одном корейском сайте. получила какой-то бессвязный набор слов, не поняла вообще ничего. подумала, что скорее всего это еще и от того, что в блоге написано более разговорным языком, от которого всяким бабелфишам совсем туго. :) и тут я вспомнила недавнюю переписку на офифоруме Стефа, где мне девочка из Японии сказала, что lambiel_ru очень интересное сообщество и она в него часто заглядывает. в ответ на мое удивление она написала, что пользуется online переводчиком. и решила я посмотреть, что же ей удается прочесть: "зарядила" в окошко Babel Fish первый попавшийся пост и... долго-долго лежала на полу. но, кстати, общий смысл был вполне понятен. мне с корейским сайтом повезло меньше. несколько перлов: histories about the show and from the encounter, which was in them I will transfer briefly he described to girls about the music for the exponential left in Korea the piles of worshippers (в оригинале - "штабеля поклонниц" :)) в такие минуты я особенно остро понимаю, как далеки еще от нас времена восстаний роботов. :) а вы какими online переводчиками пользуетесь?

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow, in an English country garden? [July 24, 2008 @ 8:51pm] __kali__ [ mood | hopeful ] My camera has a flower mode which apparently "captures brightly coloured flowers. Reproduces the outline of the flower softly". Well, I've got lots of flowers in my back garden this summer, so I thought I'd have a look and see what could come out. ( lots and lots of flowers behind the cut ) Read .. (6) .. Post A Comment

[July 24, 2008 @ 6:44pm] reut вот как часто мы говорим или слышим фразу: "главное - чтобы он(а) был(а) счастлив(а)", с ударением на "он(а)" разумеется. и так красиво это звучит, так трогательно, так заботливо. но при этом когда этот самый он (эта самая она) по всем признакам и свидетельствам таки счастлив(а), но как-то не так, как мы себе представляли, каким-то другим, не совсем угодным нам путем, нас это не устраивает. или это одна я такая плохая...

[July 24, 2008 @ 7:36pm] queen_qing [ mood | busy ] [ music | Paramore - crushcrushcrush ] Joker drabble for you, Kendra (bellumina). There is glory in madness. There is a method, a sweet despair in the blood that sings when you slit flesh open and apart (skin and nerves and veins and they musn't be dead. They musn't - no, no. Not yet. It sounds so very dull when their hearts stop beating). It sings, and he trills along. Mother says it's only polite. This is the eulogy they are worth - and he wonders if he cuts them deep enough, ink will bleed out of them, for all those plans, all those structured, pretty little frames they hide themselves in. Such an insult, such an insult to his name, he thinks (Cross your t's and dot your i's, boy. The Joker hates tearing down incomplete perfection.) Come play. Come play. Jack's not dull, is he? Jack's waiting, and waiting. Jack be nimble, jack be quick, jack in a box and boxes he hates, hates boxes. All the lines and symmetry and a box can never be round, his mother said. Boo. Don't look away, boy. Don't swallow. Look at me. You are invincible when you're nothing. You're omnipotent when you're nowhere. You're a god when you crawl like a worm. Topsy-turvy inside to outside and nothing makes sense when intestines are the best features to ever adorn a man's body. (Armani had the wrong idea - old Giorgio and all his worthless little lines - and where is the poetry?) Nothing makes sense, a mismatched jumble of the devil's truth spoken through too many tongues. The purest beauty lies in its unbridled entropy and he's in a good temper because there is no smudge in that clarity. Come play, boy, and the Joker thinks that he can be merciful this time. Maybe.  But mercy makes him look fat,  and we can't have that now, can we? I hope you liked it, bb. =_(\ And I should probably stop being pinged by nutcases.  Read .. (22) .. Post A Comment
