Postcards from Norway

[misscam]

Doing another postcard round - if you want a postcard from Norway, please comment here with your name and address. All comments are screened to this entry so only I will see.

If you want a card of something specific - fjord, moose, winter, whatever - feel free to state so in your comment.

Why is it Monday and work? Guh.

Mondays apparently are evil even when one is not at work. ARGH.

here, have some McDonald's legs. They make everything better.

You got nothing to bitch about. Do you know, when I woke up this morning and headed for the train, there was ice on my bike? Brr. And brr.

Mm. Thanks. I have no fic for you yet, sorry.

Hey, where did you get your BSG moodtheme?

*goes to lunch*

[falena]

I have cramps and finished translation with no beta no prof to look it over so, yeah your ice > my woes but I still get to gripe about them. Qutie loudly. :P

No worries. Unexpected fic is the best kind of fic.

Oh. I didn't update my credit info, damn. Thanks for reminding. It's from crackified. It's mini + s1 and s2, there's also a mini + S1 only and probably something Lee/Kara and something else (Cylons, possibly). And if you go to battlestar_blog and browse back a bit there's somebody posting themes. (The most recent post has a Kat moodtheme and a Dualla one, just so you can find the person). She has an all Roslin moodtheme up for grabs too.

Early lunch.

*makes beds in the empty house (because the nonworking member of the family gets to be the housewife, oh joy)*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

And I get to mock your gripes. Snarkily :P

Well, it's hardly going to be unexpected when you know it's coming, but anyways.

Ohnoes, I have to do work to find them. Drat. Ah well, I'll see what is around. Most of all I want an Adama and Roslin one of course, but Roslin is also awesome.

We always have lunch at 11 here. And now we've come back to find our mail serves aren't working. This day is going to be so swell, I can feel it.

[falena]

The surprise factor in the posting is enough for me. I'm all about small pleasures these days. (Mainly because the big ones seem to be eluding me :P).

Here's the direct link to the Roslin one, lazy woman. Only because your work is being a pain in the arse and I'm verrry nice. :P

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Come to Norway and I'll pamper you :P But hey, little pleasures can be good too, if you get enough of them. Get your all flist to write to your kinks or some such. 'Please Elisa' week, maybe?

Aww. With friends like you, I never have to work :P I'll save it for when I get home.

[falena]

Not a bad idea, but I want to keep it for the right moment. Like "Elisa's just handed out her thesis and needs cheering" moment or something equally momentous.

With my limited google fu I was able to ascertain there is at least one A/r moodtheme (the one ar_daily_dose is currently using) done by a twilight_mash. Unfortunately her journal seems to be strictly FO and I couldn't locate her original post with the moodtheme anywhere (why don't bloody comms use tags? they're v handy!) but it was public at one point because I found at least three private journals using it.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Exploiting the flist should indeed be saved for special occasions.

I'm too late to fandom to get all the shinies, it seems. Ah well. Maybe a new and shiny one will appear at some point. Meanwhile, I'll just have to make do with what youI can find.

Tags are love - I make sure T&C use them, even if I don't have time to make sure everyone uses them correctly. So much easier to find stuff! I love tags, I do.

[falena]

I is saving the 132 a/r images manually because is crazy, bored and loves procrastinating. Will make a zip file so that you can use them and put them up as a moodtheme.
As long as you credit the original maker I don't think this should be a problem.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You is insane! Seriously, you don't have to do that. I'm already spoiled, don't add to it!

Though I suspect I'm already too late and you've already done the work. You is sneaky.

[falena]

Okay, the zip file is located here:

hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=I8DIXB8P

I added also a .txt file with the instructions for the admin console (I had it saved on my comp, I don't remember who originally wrote it, probably the owner of crackified). Just follow this tutorial and you should be all set.

If it doesn't work/you need help...ask someone else. :P

Do remember to credit twilight_mash if you end up using the moodtheme, I don't want it to look like I stole her work.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hehe, thanks muchly.

Did have to fix a few things, including size and so on, but I've done this before, so I managed. :P Credit's been added too.

You laziness enabler you ;)

Sing it with me: "I don't like Mondaaaays..."

Kids loved circus dudes. I am now v. popular teacher. Yay!

I'm cold. Boo. And I gotta think of something to do to top circus guys for tomorrow. Oh dear...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It's Monday. I don't want to sing.

Er, elephants will top it? Or you can just dress up as one?

How goes fic?

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Once I have something to do tomorrow, I will go back to fic. First must plan lesson!

I think I will start them on an assessment task now that they have done the circus thing. WHich means I gotta prepare that. I'll stick on some B5 and do it on the laptop, I think.

[falena]

*sends good vibes for lesson planning*

It's such a pain, isn't it? I hate it.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Work is so evil to get in the way of writing and hobbies. Hmpf!

Don't overdo on the angst again now.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

overdo angst? ME? pffft.

well, I wouldn't mind if it was working hours... but this is supposed to be my time!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes, *you*. I don't see anyone else writing a ship with dead virgins here :P

That's teaching for you, sure enough.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

I am just righting a grave wrong. Noone should die a virgin, after all.

And Marcus may be dead and a virgin, but damn, I'd tap that. :P

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You do that and leave the others to me, yes...

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

*is done*

whee!

[carolpent.livejournal.com]

Could it be said that you wanted to shoo-ooooooo-t the whole day down?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

No.

I'd want to bazooka it down.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Pfft, I'm pretty damn sure it was never my idea orginally. Somewhere, someone must have offered postcards to their flists before. Anyway, go postcard mad!

[crimedoc1.livejournal.com]

Well, but, you know, if you're a fan of jrlpuck's Peter and Rose fanfic - (DW/Blackpool post-DD crossover) there's a new one every Monday morning! Really helps make Monday's more enjoyable. ;-) They're at:

Not really into that one, but thanks for the thought :)
