Some sort of randomly pointless update =)

[the_muppet]

1) I've finally sorted out how to do screencapping properly! My previous attempts defied belief - I only ever managed to screencap parts of whatever I was capping and those caps would always end up in several different folders. I'm still finding them now. And no, I have no idea how I achieved this level of idiocy. But now I've done it - properly - and am good to go =) Except of course for the fact that, me being me, why have only say 100 caps when you could have 1000 to choose from, right? And yes, I do know how to make less but I like having ridiculous amounts of choice =)

2) I had a lovely 3-day weekend and actually was also quite productive too in getting a lot of things done and sorted. Was going to finish the weekend off nicely by re-reading Drastically Redefining Protocol (happy place, don't you know) but instead continued with my rewatching marathon of Veronica Mars - which is clearly why I had that rather interesting Logan dream last night. *smirks happily* It was pretty PG-13 unfortunately but still, it was Logan, so no complaints =)

3) I really need some inspiration in choosing usernames for Gmail email accounts. Both 'muppet' and 'paperpackages' have gone - so any and all suggestions welcome. Really, anything. Anagrams, something totally new, something pretty.... er. Inspiration fails me.

4)Am reading The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle right now which I was sure I'd read before, but apparently not. Enjoying it =)

5) Huge hugs and thanks to from_the_corner who has sent me some blank discs which arrived today, so I can burn my fandomy stuff and watch them in comfort on my couch. Yatta! *hugs you*

6) I really love Use Somebody by Kings of Leon right now. I sing it a lot in the car. Just saying =)

7) This is the first post in quite a while that doesn't mention how much I love Merlin. Well it would have been had I not written that, obviously. Which means I can use my 'merlin is love' tag after all. *happy*

Hope you're all doing okay =)

*hugs flist*

Hi hi!

1. Yay, well done! What program/method are you using? I've always used VLC player to take caps... but then again, I only ever seem to need them if I'm making a specific icon, rather than taking a cap every two seconds or something.

3. You wouldn't want to have a dot in there, like "paper.packages"? Nah, actually that doesn't have much of a ring to it. Hmm. Will have a think on it! I'm usually rubbish at thinking of names--tis why "dazzlebug" came from a random web domain name generator lol. Maybe you could try that if all else fails!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Just using VLC player, though whatever crazy method I was trying to use before had the bizarre result of depositing random screencaps all over the frickin place! *lol* Sorted now though, thankfull, just need to plough through the many thousands I've made to pick the ones I really like best =)

I already tried that, with the dot in the middle, but that's gone too. *sighs* It just wouldn't been cool to have one of those two, but now I reckon I just need something completely different so I can use it for everyting - I keep trying to think of anagrams for things I love (like oh I don't know - MERLIN *lol* and other things) that but everything I think of comes out sounding stupid. Obviously. There's no huge hurry I suppose, but obviously what with one thing or another, I'd like to be prepared =_

*heffa hugs*

Using Nameboy Generator, I came up with the following:

muppethead
dynamuppet (particularly like this one hehe)
ubermuppet

And then I thought of pp.muppet/pp_muppet, or you could have it the other way around. Just trying to come up with variations on those two.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Aw, you're a sweetie *hugs lots* and yeah, the 2nd one made me laugh =)

I was thinking though that as I can't actually have 'muppet' or 'paper packages' (dammit to whoever stole them) then I should have something completely different rather than a variation - like something pretty-or-interesting sounding, or some sort of anagram of somthing - does that make sense? I'm just not feeling too isnpired right now, keep thinking something will suddenly come to me, but it hasn't, so thought one of you might feel more inspired than me and say some suggestion that mde me go 'oooh'... or something =)

*HUGS*

Is that my icon?

[dazzlebug.livejournal.com]

Hee, it is indeedy :D Have credited you!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Oh you - I know you'd credit! *hugs*

[aruna7.livejournal.com]

Woot for screencapping!!! *bounce*

I'm glad to see you had a good weekend, and hey, even PG 13 dreams can very very very interesting. Yes, it comes from miss "my mind belongs to the gutter aka happy place". *winks*

Hum, is "madeofawsome" gone on gmail? *winks to you and squishes you*

Love ya hun!!! *clings*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It was an interesting dream, even for a PG-13 - and dude, it was Logan! (or should I say Josef *lol*) so whatever rating it was, it was damn well worth it! =D

I'm sooo not using that as an email name *lol* people will think I'm a complete muppet! If you think of anything else, let me know *grins and hugs you*

[nimielle.livejournal.com]

I have a Gmail account by the name of lykeomg.pinkfish, I don't know, the only thing refering to muppet and names I can think of is a Dara O'Briain quote which was about his navsat telling him "you missed a turn you frigging muppet" and I doubt you want to call yourself "friggin'muppet" XD

Oooooh, I love Kings of Leon and that song is great! I also love Closer! I am just having a friend help me buy tickets for when I get back to good ole Germany in June :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I kinda think that as I can't have 'muppet' or 'paperpackages' I should just have something completely different rather than variations - does that make sense? Which is why I was trying to come up with something pretty-sounding or somthing like an anagram of something I liked - argh, i'm crap at deicsions and making myself be inspired.

Really loving that song right now - makes me smile whenevr I hear it =)

[from-the-corner.livejournal.com]

*lol* I've been listening to "Use somebody" on almost constant repeat, for like two months now. I can't get enough of this song =)

And I wonder why my show marathons never end up with such a nice dreams. I've been watching Torchwood and Merlin for the better part of weekend, and all I've got last night was some crazy nightmare. *sighs* Just my luck... ;)

*hugs*

And I wonder why my show marathons never end up with such a nice dreams.

I KNOW! I mean - apart from the obvious smirking when I woke up - all I could think was about how much frickin Merlin I watch and read and still nothing. Not for lack of trying, I can tell you that! =D

I ♥ that song - makes me smile =)

*hugs*

[suzyx.livejournal.com]

3 day weekend? SWEET!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Yep, it was good - well needed =)

[paxm.livejournal.com]

Heheh. I just had to choose another gmail name and I totally realized I'm incredibly unimaginative when it comes to these kinds of things.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Glad it's not just me!

[aramley.livejournal.com]

Use Somebody is one of those songs I could listen to ten times in a row and never get tired of :D

I miss Merlin! Is it time for season 2 yet?? ;D

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Yeah - me too - that song makes me smile a lot =)

I miss Merlin! Is it time for season 2 yet??

No, dammit. *sighs* 6 more long, long months. *pouts*

*hugs*

[ansku]

Congrats on the screencapping, I remember having some serious trouble when I last attempted it :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Me too *lol* but at least I finally have it figured now =)

[bellasianna.livejournal.com]

Hehe Merlin, and this is all your fault, is total love *happy sigh* OK no, not Merlin himself, but Arthur.
I can has an Arthur? *flutters eyelashes*

That Kings of Leon song is great btw.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Dirty enabler - that's me - and totally proud of the fact =)

And yes, you can have an Arthur, but only an Arthur - hands off the Merlin because he's mine all mine. Seriously, mine.
