As I watch very few movies and am also very bad at keeping track of what television episodes I watch, I'm only listing books this year. Maybe in 2009 I'll start off more organized :)

If you have any recommendations for what I should read next, please feel free to share them here :)

Just dropping in to say hi to everyone! Finals are over, Christmas is over, and my winter break is half over already. But I still have lots of plans of things I want to do before spring semester starts. Hope you are all doing well! I've browsed my flist now and then over the past few weeks and have enjoyed hearing from you all.

Oh, and btw, does anyone out there happen to have the LOTR soundtracks, the complete recordings versions?? I downloaded all three about a year ago and burned them onto CDs and LOVED THEM but I've been scrounging around my house for an hour now and I can't find them! I'm afraid they may have gotten misplaced when I packed everything up for school :( :( Anyway, if any of you have the soundtracks and feel like sharing I would REALLY appreciate it! Oh, and I do have ROTK (thankfully I at least saved one of them on my old computer), but I still would love to have TTT and FOTR.

I'm about to do a small friends cut. It's just....I've been holding off on this long enough and it's time. It's only 3 people. One of them I just don't have much in common with and the other two, as cool as they seem, I don't know, they never comment on my journal (and rarely REPLY to my comments on THEIR journals) and I've just gotten tired of this one-sided relationship thing. So...yeah, it's time.

*rips off the band-aid*

If for some reason you feel you have been unfairly or unjustly removed, let me know and maybe I'll reconsider.

Comments are screened.

I finally found this song, for those who are interested:

The Call - Regina Spektor (from the Prince Caspian soundtrack)

And also, if you haven't seen it yet (sorry for being a broken record, but I really put a lot into this video and I think I owe it to Charlie to show it to as many people as I can):

Well, here it is. I spent hours and hours on this (much longer than I'd expected), and I poured my heart into it, so I hope that reflects in the finished work at least a little bit.

PLEASE RATE AND COMMENT!!! ♥

Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary since Charlie Pace's death on Lost. I've known this date was coming up for a while and I really wanted to do something to commemorate him on the day, but it wasn't until a few days ago that I decided what exactly. Since Thursday I've been scrounging like crazy to finish a music video for him. I'd planned on posting it on the actual day, yesterday, but it's taking way longer than expected so I probably won't get it posted until this afternoon (it's rendering the files that takes so bloody long). Ah well, better late than never, yes?

And speaking of Charlie/Dom....who knew Dom did a Kodak commercial in 1996? I sure didn't:



Heheh, ahhh, the 90s.

Kay, back to tweaking the contrast on this vid's images.

Oh, also, if you haven't, you definitely need to check out sapphire_child's Charlie Pace Fanmix. It is....beautiful.

Well, here it is. This is my thank you to nazgilly21, cocoabug, ottergirl3 and azaelia_took for their helpful responses to my request for music suggestions. Thanks so much, girls! I really appreciate it! *hugs*

And there you have it! I'm sorry it took me so long to post....uploading/copying/coding took me longer than I thought it would :)

REQUEST!

I'm looking to add some new music to my library to really crank up my workout routine. So I'm hoping you would all be willing to contribute some ideas. Leave a comment with your 5 (or 10, or 20, how ever many you want/have) favorite pump-it-up songs. If you have download links that would be especially awesome. In return, I will upload my 25 favorite work-out songs and post them here in my next update :)

Please, I would really love to hear your guys' favorites :D

And I'm actually quite pleased!!

Edward looks amazing! I liked the idea of Robert in the role fairly well from the beginning, but was worried about what they'd do with his hair and such, but he looks...just...guh...amazing! And Emmet looks quite good, too. It's a hard thing to take a book that is so beloved and re-create the characters that people have such definite ideas about, and I think they rather a good job of it. I mean, they're not perfect, but hey, this is life. Since when is it perfect?

The only one that irks me is Jasper :( He was my favorite (well, except for Edward and Alice, haha) in the book and when I found out Jackson Rathbone had been cast I was rather pleased, but they totally wrecked him with that blonde wig and slightly feminine attire/make-up :(

Title: The One Just Like His Father
Author: Kassondra/pendora_lass
Characters: Charlie and Aaron, with mentions of Claire and Simon, Megan, and Liam Pace
Prompt: #27 - Parents
Rating: G
Word Count: 600
Summary: Charlie never really understood people's obsession with categorizing one another as if they were chemicals in a lab. That is, not until a small person in his life changed his perspective.
Spoilers: Takes place sometime during early season 3 but doesn’t contain any major spoilers.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, none of these characters belong to me, that honor belongs exclusively to the creators of Lost. That doesn’t mean, however, that I don’t take advantage of the opportunity to obsess over them 24/7 =)
Author’s Notes: Many thanks to Ellin//sapphire_child for beta'ing this for me :) I haven’t officially claimed Charlie Pace over at 100fanfic but I am working through the prompts table as a personal challenge for myself. This fanfic was inspired by prompt #27 “Parents”. The final sentence in the second-to-last paragraph was inspired by a comment made by green_queen as well as this picture. Also, this is my first Lost fanfic, so feedback of any kind is greatly appreciated!
