I finished making my costume today! In amongst studying for my midterm!


The shirt and skirt are both store-bought: the shirt a long-sleeved tee from Old Navy that I've had for a while and the skirt I bought specifically for the costume, from Ross for $6. I shortened the skirt, re-did the neckline on the t-shirt with plain black broadcloth and some leftover interfacing I had, and added the shiny science insignia and rank stripes. I decided to go with "Commander" because 1) two stripes are fancier and 2) if I want, now I can be girl!Spock :D

I've ordered a TOS science tricorder too. That should arrive in about a week. I hesitated because it's $40 but then I saw a pic of [livejournal.com profile] mijan as Bones with one and it looks awesome and I want one.

ETA: haha, I just realized you can tell I took the second one in the mirror. It's hard to take a picture of myself. The camera has a timer but I have to balance it on something then try to push the button without moving it.

THE BEST KIRK/MCCOY FIC YOU WILL EVER READ EVER

Excerpt:
"QUICK, INTO THE WOODS, IT'LL NEVER LOOK FOR US THERE!" JIM SPRANG TOWARDS THE WOODS LIKE A RABBIT CHASING A CARROT.

"WHAT THE FUCK JIM, BEARS LIVE IN THE WOODS! OF COURSE IT'LL LOOK FOR US THERE!!" LEONARD SCREAMED AS HE RAN AFTER JIM LIKE A RABBIT RUNNING AFTER ANOTHER RABBIT.

THE BEAR CRAWLED OVER THE WINDOW LEDGE AND RAN AFTER THEM LIKE IT WAS CHASING TWO RABBITS AND A CARROT.

BECAUSE BEARS ARE OMNIVOURUS.

SO IT WOULD EAT THE CARROT TOO.

YEAH.

[Error: unknown template qotd]Well, it's only 11:00 so doing the day over wouldn't change all that much, but it would be nice if I'd gotten up earlier and gone to the DMV to renew my license. My birthday is coming up soon, I need to get that done!

Download Sylar and Mohinder! on the downloads post.

First of all, it's still Talk Like A Pirate Day and in honor of that, Sylar put his improved sewing skills to good use and made some pirate costumes:



Pirate dance!

See, I wasn't kidding about the potholders.


He dug up that treasure when he was burying the dead body. Seriously, that's the first time one of my Sims has dug up a treasure chest. Sylar was a born pirate, I guess.

and he had no right to get up on the stage and prove what an asshole he is and probably make a teenager cry, BUT Taylor Swift's songs are awful.

The evidence: Video of "You Belong With Me" (WARNING! IT REALLY REALLY SUCKS) - I only managed to watch the first 90 seconds. ...Alright, for the sake of fairness I went back and watched the whole thing. Yep, still sucks.

As I was watching it, I thought "wait, didn't she also do 'Teardrops on My Guitar,' which is pretty much exactly the same song?"

YES SHE DID

Here's an idea: if you're going to make songs and videos that cast the pretty cheerleader as the villain in competition with you, the poor, ordinary girl, for the love of some nondescript boy, maybe try NOT looking like this in that same video:


Oh, wait, it's OK, Taylor's character in the other video isn't anything like those evil pretty girls because not only does she just happen to have exactly the same tastes in everything as the boy in question and she'll never stir up DRAMA by getting mad when he says something douchey or expecting him to care about her feelings or needs or anything, not only that, but in this other video her character is wearing GLASSES:



...movie Hermione? You look different.

[Error: unknown template qotd]No, dammit. I NEED calories for my body to function. I'm surprised how many people think they don't. If calories didn't count, I guess it would change how much I ate because I'd be eating constantly and still not getting any energy.

Today I ate reasonable quantities of yogurt, mushroom risotto, lasagna, salad, and ice cream because those are foods that I enjoy and they contain nutrients, which is the purpose of eating food.

Why is it at least half of the Writer's Block questions are annoying like this??

In the meantime, here's my new icon and a pic.

"You look oddly familiar..."


No, Spock won't be appearing in the series. Not this volume anyway. He just turned up at the shopping center when I sent Sylar and Mohinder there to buy stuff and he and Sylar started chatting so I had to snap a pic.

I've also made a custom outfit for Sylar that's more like the one in the show. You can get it on the downloads post.

I'm working on Volume 2. It's going to be longer. I had enough trouble organizing the .jpgs for Volume 1 (they aren't saved in order and the filenames don't mean anything to me) so this time I'm making a storyboard. SERIOUSLY.

There's one part where it says "Sylar turns into his nerdy alter ego, Gabriel." And then there's a gap then under it I wrote "PROFIT." Because I haven't figured that part out yet. But I've got the rest of the story laid out.

It's a good thing we have the day off tomorrow and I don't have a thesis proposal to work on or anything. Oh, wait...

Here's custom content I've created for The Sims 2. If you use it to make a story/pics/etc. please post a link to my LJ and give me credit.


I could upload them to the Exchange - maybe I will eventually - but for now here are my Sims2 skins, free for you to use! Custom content is skin tone (just for Data), eye color (yellow for Data, darker brown for everybody else because I don't like the default brown), and clothes (clothing skins only; the Uhura mesh is from the original Sims 2 and the Spock and Data meshes are from Apartment Life. I don't have any non-Maxis meshes). It should all work fine, I used Body Shop to make all the custom content but:

DISCLAIMER: there is always the risk that custom content could screw up your game and force you to reinstall. Back up your game before you install any of these files.

Remember a few days ago when I said I was making Sylar and Mohinder Sims? Here they are. Mr. Muggles is there too.

ETA: Now you can download my Mohinder and Sylar Sims and have them all to yourself! It's like having a dollhouse in your computer! Except with more homoeroticism.

MASTER LIST
Volume 1 (is this post here)
Volume 2, Chapter 1
Volume 2, Chapter 2
Thanksgiving Holiday Special!
Christmas card!
Volume 3, Chapter 1



Here's Sylar in his room. He likes to read books and learn new things.



Here's Mohinder in his room. He has a map that shows the location of every person with superpowers. Sylar really, really wants that map but Mohinder says he can't have it :(



Oh, and Sylar has this secret room too. Mohinder would probably be better off just pretending it wasn't there.



What does Sylar use his secret room for? Craft projects, mainly.


more pics! )

I have watched the first 10 seconds of it (yes, I paused the video to type this) and he's already said the word "fuck" of variations thereof about eight times. That's a good sign :D

Here's the rest of the review SPOILERS )

I haven't seen it but apparently some ev-psych neuroscientists are asking people to fill in a survey about fandom. Read this to find out why that's a bad idea.

ETA: Edited to correct typo. I have no problem with evolutionary phycologists ;)

I cannot possibly top [livejournal.com profile] bronze_ribbons' post so I'll just say:

Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] valis2!!!

Does anyone know why my tag cloud has gone all weird? I thought it was a glitch but it's been like that for a few days, with line breaks between each tag. What's up with that?
