I swiped this from Willowfly's announcement at Stealthy Stories:


This is also a quick reminder that everyone has exactly one week to send in their ballots. We will not be accepting any new e-mails after 11:59pm (EST) on Saturday, February 13th.

So get those ballots in.  You can go here--  www.5wwwww5.com/forum/viewtopic.php-- for the information.


AND... DRAGON EGGIES!!!

 

Am I the only one who, when hearing anything on my iPod from "TMNT", has the overwhelming desire to go watch that movie again?


Experimenting with cooking-- decided to make my own spaghetti sauce by tossing whatever I felt like into the pan-- ground sirloin, one shiitake chopped, one half onion chopped, four garlic cloves minced, one tomato peeled and chopped (I'm never trying to peel a tomato again-- screw everyone, they can deal with the skin)-- a huge tablespoon of "Italian herbs" 'cause I am too lazy to measure out basil, marjoram, etc-- two bay leaves-- and a can of tomato sauce.

OH and a HUGE dose (maybe a tablespoon) of coarse ground black pepper and a bit less than that of kosher salt (both added to the meat as it browned).

NOW-- simmer-- and then God knows what it'll taste like, but I'm excited!!

Been listening to my iPod via my BOSE station-- best money I ever spent on eBay!  Hence the mention of "TMNT" as I have the soundtrack...

Should have picked up some fresh baked bread.... ah well!

It's not too late, all you fanfic friends out there, to submit your nominations for the 2009 Fan Fic contest at Stealthy Stories!  And the submissions can come from a wider source this year, including Deviant Art.  Hop on over and check out the categories!  NO need to submit for each and every one!

Amazing.  Where is the year going?
( Cut because I can. )

I'm passing this on to those of you who do not follow the forums. The Spriter Dovealove is leaving and pulling all her sprites-- and lord, are there a bunch that she was involved in.

Here is the link to the (now closed) thread that announced this:

forums.dragcave.net/index.php

I copied the post below from another dragon caver’s post:

Her dragons:
White
Bright Pink (the old one)
Green (also known as Pebble or Earth)
Magma

She's also collaborated with others on a long list of dragons which now may have to be altered as well, depending on how much she's contributed with.

Ochredrake - (with Shiro)
Gray (also known as Storm) - (with Shikaru and Wynni)
Sunrise/Sunset - (with LadyLyzar)
Pink (the new one) - (with Wynni)
Purple - (with Hawaiianbabidoll)
Deep Sea - (with PF13 and Shiro)
Thunder - (with Shiro)
Water - (with PF13)
Skywing - (with Shiro)
Guardian - (with Kila, PF13, et al)
Pumpkin - (with Marrionetta)
Bluna - (the hatchling, with Marrionetta, Nakase and PF13)


So that’s a LOT of dragon sprites that will be vanishing soon.  And I've been having such LUCK breeding Magmas!  So if you tune into your scroll and find a bunch of missing sprites or a bunch of "fogged" images, you now know why.

You really-- I mean REALLY-- need to go to www.interrobangstudios.com and look up the latest installment of "The Last Mystical Legend of the Fantastic Fantasy Trigger Star"!!!! 

GO!  View!!! 


( Short cut here )

It's FANART from this person who read Chapter 8 of "Stalking the Green-Eyed Monster"!!!

It totally was out of the blue and blew me away!!

I feel so.... SPECIAL!!!!

Hello, fellow TMNT fanfic writers-- I have a QUESTION!!!  WHAT would be a successful deterrent that Leo (10 yrs.old) could use to keep Mike (also 10 yrs.old) from "tagging along"?  I'm open to suggestions.

EDIT:

Thanks everyone!  It helped me to clear my  mind!

Behold-- Chapter 8!!

www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_hotel.shtml

Well-- I'm wondering if I should just go to Lucky's again. I suppose I will have one night's fee available so I can reserve a room by the 18th of March, but I'm wondering if I'll be able to even book-- if the 18th is a school day, I just don't see myself taking the day off.

I guess I can see their reasoning, but I do wish they didn't control so much-- it'd be easier to book directly with the hotel, it seems to me.


STILL-- It's nice that one can download a pdf of the hotel info-- makes planning easier.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

I think this link will work... it works for ME.

But the single-day passes ONLY went on sale yesterday for Comic-con-- and the Saturday ones are almost sold out!

I bought mine for Thurs, Fri, and Sat-- Sunday is the cheapest, but I only splurged on the three.

And AFTER I spent all that money, my sister said just today "Well, I WAS going to try to buy them for you for Christmas, but you beat me to it!"

Well, heck-- if she wants to send me the money, I'd sure as heck say "Thanks for the tickets, sister!!!"

:D

hyrina !!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Hope you have a good one!

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the day!

My mother became attached to this pastor and his wife and kids-- she'd babysit the girls when they were YOUNG-- and such-- she'd send them cards and gifts and such throughout the years, up to the oldest daughter's graduation!



So last year, when we were told she was in stage four-- she had me write a letter to Pastor H. and his wife-- which was one of the worst things I've ever had to do (write dictation for someone who was told they only had a few months to live-- not to mention she was my mother)-- and at the same time my sister emailed said Pastor and informed him of stuff-- to which he called Mom at the hospice and talked about coming out to see her etc etc etc.....

And then when she died, and Linda (sister) contacted them, we heard NOTHING!!!


Today I discovered that the wife had sent Mom a birthday card.


Off-topic-- can SOMEONE tell me why when I try to post here the damn page keeps blinking?????

First they say-- you don't NEED the mammogram if you're younger than a certain age.

Now they say-- you don't NEED the pap smear if you're in the following criteria (fill in the blank)....

*waits for others to spin this as a good thing*

I hate Wednesday.

CLICK my dragons! I've not posted them in some time.
