Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. It used to be the Grinch and I have the movie. Must watch both, I think.

On the personal news front, I've decided to let my nose piercing grow up. I had only intended to keep it a year and it's been that and then some.

New Highlander stories on hlh_shortcuts tomorrow. Huge thanks to amand_r for all her hard work again this year.

Has anyone else seen the outrage over a recent H50 filming? Evidently, they were filming on Pearl Harbor Day , and pissed off the 90+ year old veterens who were there paying their respects.

Good spa day. Massage, hair cut and color refreshed. Lunch/dinner at Red Lobster.

Back to work in the am though :-(

I just checked my dvr recordings and all my favorites are set for next week: Hawaii 5-0, Body Of Proof, Dancing With The Stars (with Chaz Bono this time), SPN, Grey's Anatomy.

I watched the pilot of Sarah Michelle Geller's new show "Ringer" yesterday. The jury is out at present. I like Sarah and it's an interesting concept. I guess it depends on how the plot unfolds and how the characters evolve. I want to like it.

New awesome White Collar vid from sholio. I love this show so much. Can't wait for it to come back. Hate the way shows are leaving us hanging half the way through and making us wait months for the rest of the season.

I just read a wonderful, funny HL ficlet from sholio called Lemmings .

Such fun to read and she hits the gang spot on. PG/Gen. Take a look. Let her know how much you love it.

On Angels and Devils (Yahoo Group) we're working on a drabble/ficlet challenge using these random words:

index
hokum
onslaught


If anyone would like to join in, but not interested in joining another yahoo group, feel free to join in here on LJ. I would love to see what everyone comes up with. I'm still working on mine - taking longer since work sucks right now.

You can use one word for each drabble or ficlet. Or if you really want to feel challenged, write a ficlet or drabble using all three wordsl

Thanks to Valoise for pointing out this website : Peter Wingfield can be seen using the following weapons in the following productions.

Okay, who seems to be missing from that list of characters? Hmm?

sholio is watching Highlander as a brand spanking new fan. She's squeeing about it on her journal. Now in season 4. Careful though. She doesn't want any spoilers, but it's so much fun reading her impressions as a new fan. And guess which character she's currently feeling lots of love for?

because it's party time. We're finally open for business.

hl_stills is finally up and running with our first icon challenge here .

First, take a look at the rules and check us out. There are 12 screencaps to choose from and you can enter up to 5 icons for the first contest.

For those (like me) who are not contributing artistically, but want to vote on the pretty new icons, keep an eye on the community as November 16 is the last day to get the icons in and shortly thereafter the voting will begin.

I hope we can make this (and keep it) fun for everyone.

We can't thank jhava enough for the great layout and header.

EDIT: There have been some questions about joining the community. I asked mischief5 about it because this is really her community and she's the expert as she's been a member of icon contest communities in the past.

It's standard policy for only the mods to post the challenges and the winners. Members watch the community. It's set where you can post your entries (screened so no one else can see your comment) and everyone can vote.

But because she's a sweetheart, and because I was so confused - since I don't have a clue - she agreed to have it open to join. I don't think it's going to make a difference. Only that you won't be confused if you try to join and it tells you it's not open.

Btw, I'm really tickled that so many are going over to take a look. Mischief chose the screencaps and they are great. Can't wait to see all the new icons.

Remember the picture I told you about? It was a picture of Jerry, myself, his sister Linda and her date, Skip. It was taken the night we met at The Traveling Fox. Jerry has kept this picture in his wallet for 33 years. Linda mentioned the picture a couple of weeks ago when they visited as she also has a copy. Jerry very proudly told her that he still had his copy in his wallet.

Saturday I looked through his wallet and I swear the picture was in there (although I'm beginning to wonder if I'm losing my mind). Then Monday morning after the cats woke me at 4am, something told me to go into the bedroom and look at the wallet again. The day before (Sunday) I had told the funeral director that we were going to bury Jerry's wallet with him as he had always carried his wallet (and those pictures) even when he didn't have a dollar to put in it. When I went through the wallet the picture was gone. All the other pictures were there including my wallet sized high-school graduation picture.

Then I began to worry about the picture. What had happened to it? Did I just imagine that the picture was in there Saturday? Did he get mad and tear it up and I didn't know about it? Tuesday morning I was woken at 3:58 am when my tv snapped on.

Everything seemed pretty normal yesterday, but this morning something kept niggling at me, telling me that I needed to spend the day looking through my family picture albums. Now, that wasn't what I had planned. I needed to write my credit card company to see about a Jumpcon refund among other things. But for some reason I couldn't get the albums out of my head.

I couldn't get rid of the thought that maybe Jerry somehow knew we were going to put his wallet with him and he wanted me to keep the picture. Somehow I knew I would find it if I kept looking.
