5 things.

[the_muppet]

1) megaupload: For the last few weeks I can get unlimited downloads on Megaupload with no waiting time. Which is weird as I am not signed in and have never had a premium account. Is this a new thing that everyone can do?

2) postcards: I got three postcards at the end of last week all from the same person - but not signed so I don't know which of you to say thank you to. Plus the postmarks on all three were smudged to hell so I couldn't work out where they're from either, though I'm thinking it was a UK flister...? Please tell me who you are so I can thank you properly? =)

3) timetable of doom: Have spent much of the last couple of weeks working on the Timetable of Doom (September edition) which has kept me thankfully busy as well as wanting to break things. It's pretty much finished and I'll put it up today for the staff to check over and (hopefully) be pleased with and not freak out over too much.

4) fic rec: Yesterday adelagia posted her much anticipated (by me at least) first RPF fic and it's so damn lovely! If you want to be smiling for the rest of the day then go read Five Times Colin Fell In Love With Bradley (the Bradley James version) ♥

5) dr reid: I'm extremely smitten right now with Dr Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds. I have always had such a weak spot for smart geeky men. So yeah, smitten a lot. Plus it's a wonderful show and I enjoy all the characters but, y'know, I'm quite shallow, so I'm basically watching for the geek. I'd never seen an episode of this show till about 10 days ago so I'm working my way through them and am now almost at the end of S2. Also, Matthew Gray Gubler (who plays Dr Reid) is awesomely quirky and geeky in RL, which is such a bonus =)



*love and hugs to you all*

Cave wallpapers?

Yeah, twas me and Button, we bought them for you at Rudyard, then couldn't find your address I'd written down, then had to scribble something really quick at the post box as the postie was waiting in his van... *shakes head, sorry I'm a dork*

**hugs**

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

LOL - well thank you so, so much! One arrived first then the next day two more came - they made me smile so thank you so much to both of you ♥

*hugs lots*

[el1ie.livejournal.com]

You're more than welcome and I have another one around here somewhere waiting for me to write. Time Table of Doom needs SOME distractions!

♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely recognise the writing this time if it's not signed!

♥

[el1ie.livejournal.com]

Pish tosh we can't have that, I'll get Button to sign it for you. :))

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

LOL! Yep, signed by Button will make it crystal clear indeed ;)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Yay for stuff! *hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Stuff?

Thanks for doing the vid recs post ♥

*hugs*

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

The stuff you posted about. It seemed like the good stuff, so that stuff. You know. Stuff?!

And, you're welcome. Seemed like you had a lot on your plate from the post you made. I'm always available for email griping should you need an outlet. The offer just floats out there on the 1s and 0s if you ever want/need it. *smish*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Ah, stuff =)

Yes, burying myself during the day in the Timetable of Doom then burying myself in the evenings with shedloads of uploading for The List then marathon sessions of Criminal Minds - trying to concentrate on the plot and not get too distracted by the geeky awesomeness of Dr Reid. Success rate for this is low, I can assure you =)

*hugs lots*

[vuleimoor.livejournal.com]

Criminal minds is awesome. Glad you are liking it too.

I love Reid as well, but am a little more smitten with Hotch ;)

Hope you enjoy the rest of the season as well.

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It took me a little while to come round to Hotch - because for some strange reason I found him kind of weird looking (idek) - but now I totally adore him =)

I'm wondering if I'll get all caught up before S5 starts - I'm also wondering about adding it to The List because clearly I'm insane and don't have enough to do already.

Also iconning Reid the last few days ;)

*hugs*

[vuleimoor.livejournal.com]

It took me a little while to come round to Hotch - because for some strange reason I found him kind of weird looking (idek) - but now I totally adore him =)
*lol* I automatically loved Hotch because Thomas Gibson plays him ;)

You can be catch up if you stop doing all the other stuff in your life :P

And you won't find me complaining if you add it to the list BUT I agree with you, with all the things you have to do you are really going to add another one??

And *yay* for Reid iconning, very much looking forward to that, and would really be ecstatic if you could throw in a couple of Hotch to it ;)

did you know MGG broke his leg recently and it seems they will somehow have to write that into the show?

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Well I love Hotch now =)

I'm working really hard on getting caught up and at this point, I'm fairly sure I'll make it - would be nice to as I won't watch any S5 episodes until I am.

And you won't find me complaining if you add it to the list...

I've been thinking about it a lot since I started watching the show, and more so today, and right now, I'm fairly sure I will add it. Fairly sure =)

I did know that - I've read quite a lot about it actually, including how they're supposed to writing it in - though whether what I've read is true or not I don't know. Also - he posted this today, don't know if you've read it but it really just made me go 'aww' and feel so sorry for him =(

http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=11889429&blogId=508519237

I only have a few pics of him gathered from here and there - not snagged any episode screencap files or anything yet, so don't have any Hotch ones - if you want to send me some HQ ones then feel free, or I'll try and look around for more screencaps if the batch I next post with the Reid ones in do okay - if no-one wants/likes them I might not do anymore CM ones. We'll see...

*hugs*

[tearful-eye.livejournal.com]

reeeeiiiid, ♥. *squishes him*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

oh feel free to spam me with Reid goodness!

Reid ♥

[tearful-eye.livejournal.com]

:P you asked for it... (and i can never resist pleas for reid-goodness)













also: i made a reid picspam a while back
+ there's an epic mgg picspam here

...and i made a vid too ;)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Ah, lovely =)

Am off to look at the picspams now - the vid will have to wait till I get home ;)

*hugs*

[nimielle.livejournal.com]

I've had joy as in "fast connection" and "basically no waiting time" even a year ago, but the "700MB without complaints" and the "no more waiting time" parts are new.

It's sooo awesome :D

I am glad you got done with your time-table thing, it always sounds terribly complicated. It's like a plan of who works when, isn't it?

Mwah! &hears;

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

So I'm not the only one getting this new Megaupload thing, then? Good to know - I was wondering what the hell was going on!

It's like a plan of who works when, isn't it?

Yep, basically! And it's all done - now it just needs to go up for checking then I'll need to re-do all the masters and hopefully it'll be good to go on September 21st. Hopefully =)

*hugs lots*

[nimielle.livejournal.com]

Nope, I've heard a lot of people being all kinds of happy about it. I especially like the fact that the speed is really lovely. I used to have trouble with it starting of medium fast and then dwindling down to like 20 or something, which is terribly annoying!

Ah, I am so glad! I sort of figured from the fact that my mum is a teacher and always gets her "timetable" for an entire term, but that she goes and complains, if it's not manageable, things like that. I really hope nobody makes too much of a fuss over it at your end :) It's nice to be actually "done" with something, if even for a short while only.

*hugs lots back*

Am gonna send you a message now, as I completely forgot to tell you that I finally moved back into my flat.

[kjcharmed.livejournal.com]

I've had the same thing with Megaupload. Strange?

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Apparently so has nimielle... weird indeed.

[auroraprimavera.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA - Reid is like the #1 reason I watch that show (when I watch it). I've always loved the geeky men in shows and he's just too awesome for words. \o/

I haven't uploaded anything from MU so I have no idea - would be nice though...

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Well he was (and probably is) my prime motivator to be marathoning the episodes right now =)

Geeky men have always been my weak point =)

[auroraprimavera.livejournal.com]

Couldn't have better motivation than that, me thinks.

Yes, geeky men are absolute ♥ for me. I think in just about any show (and in real life, OMG) geeky men literally make my knees week. Especially when that have that adorable, quirky personality to go with it.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I 100% agree with every single thing you've said above =)

[auroraprimavera.livejournal.com]

♥

[chratz.livejournal.com]

the megaupload thing as happened to me as well :) makes me very happy :D

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Well, it's certainly a good thing!

[miss-emily08.livejournal.com]

The same thing is going on for me with MU. Since I've gotten back to school I haven't had to wait and it's been allowing me to do multiple downloads at once. I'm not premium and I'm not signed in. *shrug* I ain't complaining. xD There was ONE TIME where it told me I had to wait till my download was finished to start another one but it's back to being all nice and sweet to me now.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it's a new policy with them, and it's one I thoroughly approve of - let's just hope it lasts...

[shadybrightside.livejournal.com]

I love Criminal Minds! Sometimes it can be a bit gory and I can't sleep because of the murder stories, but I always watch it. Reid's definitely my favourite character! :D

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it can be a bit gory and I can't sleep because of the murder stories...

Yes, agreed. Then again, it's not just gore and death - there's always a good, well-plotted story too, which I really enjoy.

And Reid, obviously =)

[shadybrightside.livejournal.com]

Mmhm, the stories are usually disturbing, but very compelling and interesting ...kinda refreshing from the usual CSI-type murder stories and I've read that some of the stories are based on actual murders. Really makes you think about how the criminal mind works!

[adelagia.livejournal.com]

Aw, yay! I love Reid! And MGG's youtube videos and website are hilarious; I want to be his best friend.

And thank you for the rec, of course. :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

MGG is pretty damn amazing indeed ♥

[nicole9514.livejournal.com]

geeky men are hot, that guy makes me want to check out criminal minds lol i know my mom watches it and loves it :)

i hope you are doing well hon.

miss ya

**HUGS**

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's the sole reason I checked it out in the first place, and I'm very glad I did. Thinking of adding it to The List now =)

Missed you too ♥

*hugs lots*

[prfctdaze.livejournal.com]

A guy at my office is the spitting image of the actor from Criminal Minds. The only difference in their looks is that the guy at work has shorter hair. He's very cute. And also very married :(

Good to see you around, sweetheart. Hope things are ok with you. ♥♥♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

He looks like Reid? It's a wonder you ever get any work done - I'm fairly sure I wouldn't =)

*hugs lots*

♥

[ansku]

Lovely pic :) Hmm, again a series I haven't watched yet... I'm thinking this is the point when I'm supposed to shut my eyes and go away :) I've already started following three new series within a short time - although they put Torchwood on hiatus after the first season :( - perhaps fourth one would be a bit too much for my timetable...

Congrats on finishing the Timetable of Doom :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Criminal Minds is great but I know what you mean about having to much to watch/follow already =)

And thanks - I'm so glad this version of the ToD is finished!

*hugs*

[kimberweeme.livejournal.com]

I <3 Reid. He is such a doll in a dorky, quirky, adorable sort of way. I'm so glad you like Criminal Minds now, as it will give me someone else to squee with!

I must now go read that fic. Look what you've turned me into! You dirty rotten enabler, you!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Oh feel free to squee away about Criminal Minds and the adorable quirkiness of Reid/MGG ♥

I must now go read that fic. Look what you've turned me into! You dirty rotten enabler, you!

*basks in smugness*

I'm so proud of myself right now and not in the least bit repentant, I'll have you know =) Also - realised yesterday that I never sent the 3rd and final email - the one with the Merlin/Arthur recs from my bookmarks - do you still want that? And how did you get on with the Bradley/Colin recs i sent?

*hugshugshugs*

PS Stop using the sulky Arthur icon when you know that actually you adore me for getting you hooked on the Arthur/Merlin + Bradley/Colin ♥ =)
