blamethewizard1) Computer fixed over a week ago, but still a little absent around here because...
2) I was in the hospital for a week. Infection. Other issues. Was able to read LJ and comment some but didn't get full computer access until Friday. I remembered how utterly boring hospital stays are. Thankfully, I had recently downloaded a ton of podfic, which seriously SAVED MY SANITY. I feel like I need to write a "Thank you" letter to all those lovely podficcers and possibly buy them presents. Or something.
I also wrote Merlin/Arthur fic in a little notebook, which may or may not be typed up and posted. It's all angsty and probably addled. SPEAKING OF ADDLED...
3) I am so behind with LJ and other online stuff and I'm just beginning to get caught up. SO I ASK YOU, flist, WHAT IS THE 411? WHAT ARE THE COOL JAMS?
Then again, it's only been a week...but it was a terribly long one over here.
4) In my addled state, I pre-ordered Merlin Season 1 on DVD from Amazon, WHICH IS COOL AND ALL, but it's not coming out until April 26th and I wasn't going to buy it until next month. I was supposed to spend my March self-allocated ~$30 "monthly extras" budget on a paid LJ account (I KNOW, I'M LAME AND BEHIND THE TIMES) but in some kind of excited haze I forgot. It's probably because....
5) I saw the little "Merlin Season Premiere" corner thingy pop up on the SyFy channel and got a little too excited. I think I pointed at the screen and said "OMG look" which probably looked silly and frankly was silly because it's not like I didn't know it was coming. Maybe it was just my response to seeing Colin Morgan's face on my television screen...I've only ever seen it on a laptop. I'm looking forward to the marathon next Sunday.
Speaking of things to do on a Sunday...
7) Today my friend and I took a little trip to an abandoned state mental hospital to walk around and take some photos. We're kind of UrbEx addicts and while this wasn't exactly that it was a nice trip nonetheless. I love abandoned places/things and while today wasn't great for photos (too sunny!) it was beautiful to walk around. I don't know if any of you are interested in that kind of thing (and my digital camera is a little crappy) but here are are a few of the photos if you'd like to see them:
8) I came back to my LJ to feeling the need for new icons. I need to go clicking around for more, but definitely have things I need to be doing instead. I could keep them but having 15 at a time means I need to refresh my stock instead of adding to it. IDK why I am mentioning this. ANYONE OUT THERE MAKE ICONS??? POINT ME TO YOUR CREATIONS!!
9) FLIST I MISSED YOU!!

Date: 2010-03-22 10:31 pm (UTC)Merlin! Yes, this month. I've missed most of the ads but that's okay. I suppose you heard about SyFy!fail with regards to Gwen's description. I believe they've fixed it.
As for Bradley's jumper, oh, my. It was like a Bridget Jones moment.
As for what you've missed, merlinxarthur is having weekly discussions which have been great. merlin_love started up and they've had 2 parties so far and a rec list on Wed.
I've done a bunch of Merlin location icons that are in the listing for merlin_locations but I don't have a master post since I don't tend to do a lot.

Date: 2010-03-23 12:50 am (UTC)I just heard about the SyFy character-description debacle. I headed over to the website to read the descriptions and it appears that Gwen's is "fixed" in that there are no more comments on her looks, but the bios for all them are still a little weird I think.
Thanks for the update and for the links to your icons! I am a map fiend so I particularly like those diagrams of Raglan Castle. Very cool!
