We met each other in the Shat

A proud Vulcan, troubled by his emotions, is afraid to come too close to a young, ambitious Starfleet captian who's not quite ready to settle down just yet. God, I love how this is just plain classic tragedy: they're doomed from the start because they are who they are. They can't walk away from this, but neither can they be happy with each other (not at this time anyhow). This fanmix follows Spock from the end of their relationship to his departure back to Vulcan. The companion piece will be all about Jim being sad and left behind... :(

Next up: "Harder Now That It's Over (Kirk POV)"!

I'd appreciate it if you'd just drop me a line that you dl'ed, liked it, or simply can't stand the idea of listening to yet another droopy fanmix. :) Just so I get a feeling for how many people are even interested in this, you know? ♥

( First off, on a more personal note... )

Now, on to wilder, wetter spheres! I might as well have called this "Star Trek: My Variations Of Cheese."

This is basically what happens when I think about where Kirk would take Spock if they'd still have Halloween (or go undercover on a pirate-controlled planet to secure the continued supply of rum to Starfleet) and no one stops me. Yes, it started with one fugly wallpaper just before Halloween and I just kept coming back to it. BECAUSE IT MAKES ME HAPPYYYYYY.


( I wonder what it would look like in a more turquoise tone, or golden... )

( Here are a couple icons made from the wallpapers resp. textures made from them. )

So this is the joint entry for the second Ship Wars prompt over at st_respect: Ain't no sunshine when (s)he's gone.

And I can tell you, ladyblahblah and I totally kicked some artsy ass! She wrote the drabble and I alternatively cried onto my keyboard and laughed hysterically because ladyblahblah just does that to me (also, I did the art). Furthermore, ladyblahblah would like to inform you that she is totally wearing flowers in her hair right now and never kids; and I wanna tell her again how great it was to work with her. This piece turned out so much better for her input. Thank youuuu! ♥

( Only now, it burns. )

I was asking mata090680 earlier today (THANKS FOR HAVING ME, BTW! :D), "How many wank-free Ship Wars do you know of?" And she would have said none if I'd have let her finish - I may or may not have been a little bit over-enthusiastic about this - but here's the thing. Over at st_respect there's a Ship War about to start that will of course not end the decade long battle over which is The One True Pairing in the Star Trek universe. The weapons with which this war is fought are creativity and wit. So, really, in the end, everyone wins. :)

( Here's what the introduction says: )



chani_atreides is planning an RDJ & Jude Law appreciation outing (entry is flocked so a link would be useless). On Tuesday they'll be at the Cinestar Potsdamer Platz for the Sherlock Holmes premiere (sadly, no tickets for the movie available yet. Meh. ) Anyone wanna go?

William The Awsome Shatner sums up my new to-be pastime:

The only thing is, you see, I had that incredibly satisfying image of me making that mountain climbing wall my bitch, ALL BY MYSELF, but um. They need you to pair up with someone and if you don't have a climbing partner they pair you up with some random person who's not too busy at the moment. So now I can't help but picture movie!Scotty as my partner, trying to climb that damn wall, and failing miserably, so that I have to push him by the arse so he has at least some resemblance to success at climbing. o_O Or, you know, Spiderman. Which would make me feel dreadfully inadequate.

I'm wondering if one (or all! They have special prizes for groups) of you sexy MF's would like to join me in my new adventure? Or, you know, come along to point and laugh which one doesn't even have to pay for. :D

While I was trying to think of a subject line ("I've got a ship in the oven"?, "The Adventures of the USS Cookiedough"? WTF?) some weird-ass part of my brain imagined the Enterprise being transformed into cookie dough/a huuuge cookie and everybody's running around on wobbly, runny legs or legs that constantly break which Bones has to mend with sugar icing; the phasers also shoot icing (which is weird 'cause what do they shoot when they're,you know, in private?). HUH.

SORRY, chani_atreides and lischa, OUR BAKING DATE IS STILL SO ON!



( Yum behind the cut. )

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, helen_damnation! I know I'm way behind the program but I do hope you had a grand day! :D

nairie, frightened_eyes, shivaluna and I talked about how until now Trek fandom was like the house you lived in your whole life. There's dad you sit with at the kitchen table and talk about stuff and life and what you're supposed to do with it. And with your cool aunt you sit for hours at the window in the attic and talk about all the places you want to go to and and what you're willing to do to get there. Of course, there's also your older brother who's rather complicated and a little bit troubled but he always takes you to exciting places and you learn a lot just by being with him. You also like the distant cousin even though he never quite seems to fit in because he just keeps ignoring the rules (secretly, that's why you like him because he's doing it in a pretty cool way). And then there's grandpa who everyone looks up to because he built this house and he's still a shipload of fun for the stories he tells are liquid awesome and the beginning of everything!

Once in a while everyone gets to be bitchy and stupid but generally everybody's having a grand time.

But! Grandpa was recently cloned in a strange but totally scientific way and now all the new kids come to your house and want to spend time with him and say 'grandpa' is a stupid name and clone!grandpa is way cooler than original!grandpa anyway. (Admittedly, unlike original!grandpa he goes bowling instead of playing cards and is fashionable and stuff...) And the new kids lock themselves in the bathroom all the time where they make weird noises, they use totally new ingredients when cooking and the house smells for hours. However, the house hasn't been that exciting in a long time.

Summarily, we should have two bathrooms.

And this is where the story unexpectedly ends without an ending. ;)

So I need a place to store these. Why don't I have a del.icio.us account, I wonder?
