Allo, Allo!

This wallpaper is dedicated to two specific people: cynikal_lemon for nudging me to try and make it, and to shigeki_jkp because you are awesome and I think you like Ten as much as I do. ;)

The idea of this is loosely based off of this little icon I made a while back.



Unfortunately, ran into a few problems quality-wise (which I knew was going to happen so it wasn't unexpected) and had to make some changes. As always, it's easier to work small than big, which is why I prefer icon-making to wallpaper-making. Forgive the very poor title I gave this - I had no idea what to call it.

...And since I could, I made some icons out of it too.

Apologies for my ridiculously mega-long overdue icon post. However I've outdone myself by actually hitting the 200 mark! And it's all jampacked with Supernatural goodness. Even got some C&C awhile back on my overall icon-making skills and tried to implement some of those tips, so hopefully you all like 'em. Sadly, couldn't make any animated icons because my computer continues to majorly suck.

It's cursed, I tell you. *sigh*

Anywho, This episode is definately one of my favourites. A couple of bombshells, some rather big events, plus we get to experience a little bit of "A day in the life of" our friendly neighbourhood holy tax accountant, which was new considering that prior to this installment, his character pretty much seemed to sporadically pop in for maybe all of 5 minutes in random episodes. So, I for one thought it was nice to catch a better glimpse from his perspective. I know that not everyone is a fan of the whole "Angel" arc, but I absolutely love it, especially in the way in which they are portrayed. Heaven vs. Hell = excitingly epic stuff.

Just a reminder to all the Torchwood Fans out there - The five night event all throughout this week, begins tonight! NOTE: Each episode has a 1:15 timeslot.

For all my fellow Canucks:
SPACE @ 8:00PM MT / 10:00 PM ET / 7:00PM PT

And my American friends:
BBC America @ 9/8 central

AND another small reminder that DOCTOR WHO: PLANET OF THE DEAD airs on SPACE @ 9ET/6PT/7MT this Saturday (25th).

Don't miss it! :D

Someone kindly requested If I could make a desktop wallpaper out of one of my previous Doctor Who banners that I used for my Journal, and here it finally is. I know not everybody may be into my particular style so I really hope that at the very least the person who asked for it likes it. Also made a couple really quick icons out of it just because I could. :p

Lyrics are from the song "The Pilgrim" by Sam Roberts. (Listen Here) Images used are from the Series/Season 4 episode 13 "Journey's End".

There's two versions of the wallpaper - one with just a couple verses of the song, and one with the full lyrics of the song found near the bottom. It's a very minute difference.

I've been a fan of this show since DAY ONE, and all it took was a ten second long promo for the show's debut that featured only two scenes to get me hooked. It started with a disturbing "WTF-is-going-on?" scene of a woman burning on the ceiling, which then quickly cut to Jensens Ackles's character stating "No 'Chick-flick' moments".

Two scenes, Ten seconds.

...I think that's one of the most memorable promo's for a show I've ever seen.

Ever since Season 4 premiered, my love for the show has further expanded into an almost unhealthy obsession due to the fact that the story continues to progressively get better and has now ventured into mega super awesome epic territory. You bet your a$$ that this is one hour of television that I DO NOT miss.

Oh and did anyone else get a kick out of the motel motif in this episode? Tiger print complete with tiger painting? Lol. :D I know they've come up with some interesting interior decor in the past, but this one makes me giggle.

Oh, and I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter! :)

Hello to all my lovely Canadian friends. I have good news for you!

SPACE (Canada's 24-hour Science Fiction network) shall be airing The Doctor Who 2008 Christmas Special "The Next Doctor" on Saturday March 14th @ 7:00PM (MT)

This makes me ridiculously happy for two reasons. First, because I haven't seen it yet (I know, I know - and I call myself a fan!? Throw the rocks at me later). Secondly, because SPACE will be airing it instead of f'n CBC which is nearly my least favourite station in the world. No offense to those who love it, but I for one have issues with it. One that immediately comes to mind is the fact that CBC had that nasty tendency of editing the program to fit the 60 min timeslot. Granted, they didn't take out too much, but I still cringe at what they did with the series 4 finale.

So, yeah, I'm positively thrilled that SPACE picked it up, because they're usually very good at NOT EDITING programs like that...and it's a good station. :D

YAY!

As much as I love Damian Lewis as Charlie Crews, I still often refer to him as Cpt. Winters. I can't help it, I loved Band Of Brothers, and that's the first time I ever saw the guy. Discovered he was British well after BoB ended when I was casually flipping through the channels one day, landing on a period piece drama on BRAVO. Surprised the hell outta me, lol.

If anyone actually does read what little I write in this journal of mine, then perhaps you'll recall that I had some computer troubles awhile ago, yes? Well, it seems that I still have some...issues. It was okay for awhile there, but I guess I'm cursed or something because something always goes wrong. ALWAYS. Grrrr.

So now it's back to being rather slow and easily susceptible to freezing up on me. Something is amiss folks, and I am NOT a happy camper. :(

Moving on...Since I took a little break from the icon-making, I thought maybe that I should do something that would show that I have not abandoned my little journal just yet. So I changed the theme of my layout. Feel free to leave any comments on what you think of it. I had a heck of a time trying to come up with some decent colours and I'm still not a 100% happy with them, but I'm sick of sifting through hex codes and decided to leave them be for now at least (unless of course I get some nasty feedback on it).

So with that said, I hope that everyone had a wonderful time over the holidays and wish you all a prosperous and splendid 2009. :)

I had these sitting on my hard drive for a while now, so I thought I'd see if I could do something with them.

It was a bit of a slow start, but I managed to get the ball rolling. One of the problems that I ran into was that I just couldn't find ways to use some of the images "as is" (and it certainly didn't help any that I didn't know the story). So I snazzed things up because I like to be different. I didn't use all the pictures available to me but I did use several more than once - even mixing the images together for a different effect. Also any variants are thrown into the mix rather than set aside in their own little category like I usually do. It's no where near the gargantuan size of my other Doctor Who posts, so I hope there are no disappointments. :p

I do not own nor have read the 2007 storybook, therefore you will not find any quotes from it in these icons. Instead, I've used a few quotes throughout the new series that I thought fitting for a few of them.

Also, A big Thanks to dragonix_create for taking the time to scan these and share them so that crazy little icon freaks like me can play with them. :)

P.S. - A reminder to Canadian Torchwood fans - Season/Series 2 finale tommorow! Friday October 24th @ 8:00PM (MT) on SPACE!

My long overdue Mega-huge icon post! More Doctor Who, this time going for Series III. Tried a few different things by using more textures (not a lot, but more than usual for me). Also had a difficult time coming up with ideas for animated icons, so I really hope someone likes those. After looking at so many screencaps for this episode, I've come to notice that I love Ten's suit alot and that Ms. Agyeman has a fantastic complexion, lol.

A reminder to my fellow Canucks out there - CBC will begin airing Series IV Friday Sep 19th @ 9:00PM (MT). Apparently they've decided to skip Voyage of the Damned completely. Booooooo! *grumbles*

I actually made this a little while ago, but I've tweaked it up since then, so now there are 3 versions to choose from. There's just a slight difference between all of them besides the colouring.

Wish I knew which scene this photo was taken from so that I could have included the right quotation but in the end, I just chose to insert Hamlet's dialogue of the very last part of Act II Scene II.

Vid's and Music to celebrate. Enjoy. :)

I, for one, am so PUMPED for the next episode of DW, and because of my massive amount of excitement, I thought I'd make some walls from "Turn Left" and the upcoming episode "The Stolen Earth". Nothing too extravagant, for when it comes to wallpapers, I tend to lean more towards simplicity. Also ended up making a couple of icons out of them too.

EDIT
The spelling mistake on "The Stolen Earth" Wallpaper & it's matching icons has been fixed.

*SPOILER ALERT*
*I do not wish to SPOIL anyone, so there will not be a preview/teaser at this time. If you have no knowledge or have not seen these episodes, then it would be best not to view these.*

This was supposed to have been an entry for a challenge a ways back, but I was unable to participate due to computer issues. Instead of scrapping it, I hung onto it and actually finished it. First time sharing banners of any sort (well, besides challenge winner banners, but that doesn't really count), so I hope they're decent. (If I should stick with icons, please tell me so and I won't bother making banners again.)

Also made a small little 'friends only' banner out of it since they seem to be quite popular and I thought it would work well for this particular image.

*Side note: I've never seen the show, and what knowledge I have of it and the character of Sarah Jane is limited.

I haven't seen a single episode of S4 because I had decided that I was going to wait until CBC (the only station that plays the series for my viewing pleasure) to air it. Now I'm not so sure if I should. I believe that normally they'd air the series after it's UK run, but with the Olympics looming about...I'm thinking that there's going to be a severe delay. You know, It would really help if CBC announced something...It's times like this where I wish SPACE could have picked up the series instead. *pouts*

EDIT: I've decided that I will NOT wait. However, I will watch it when CBC so graciously airs them starting Sep 19.

*SPOILER WARNING*
Two of the 'Rose' icons have potential to spoil the story arc somewhat for all of Series 1, so if you're brand spanking new and have not seen up to the S1 Finale, then proceed with caution.

The last time I made DW icons, I received so much wonderful feedback, and I just wanted to state yet again how appreciative I was for all the kind comments. Making these are such a joy because I'm a PS nut and a bit of a DW nut too. Thanks everyone.

So, I was already nearing the 90 mark and I just thought to myself, why not go for the big 100? Lol, I feel so accomplished. I will not be making a habit of this though. :p

Also, since I was able to, I sort of took my own caps. I admit that it did seem, well, easier when having so much control. The only bad part of it was that they weren't exactly the best quality. What can I say, I tried.

P.S. This is completely unrelated, but it's my journal and I can do whatever I want. U23D = Good Show. :D

To be honest, I didn't think very much of this show when I first saw previews/commercials for it. I was never a fan of Forever Knight, and I most certainly wasn't interested in what essentially looked to be it's sequel. But, I always give a show a shot before I shoot it down, and I found that it wasn't half bad. This episode in particular stands out to me with the 'tub' scene near the end being the highlight as it was both intense and well performed. :) On the other hand though, the whole bit dealing with the helicopter was a bit silly to me. :p

*#'s 46 & 54 have lyrics from the song "Amazing" by Madonna incorporated in them.

Yeah, it was only a matter of time before I'd make some U2 icons... :D

ZooTV; A phenomenal show with what I think has one of the best opening's ever, but as much as I enjoy the drums, I love the "We Will Rock You" by George just a teeny bit more. Seriously wish I could have been there, but sadly, I was a bit young then. I guess I'll just have to settle for having been at the Pop Mart Tour. *grins maniacally* and I don't care what people say, 'Pop' was a good album.

*Icons are of just the first four songs on the set list and are not featured in the order of how the song is played.

Oooh, S2 kicked off to a great start! I found myself rather amped to see the second series after seeing a preview trailer of what was to come, and it did not dissapoint. :) Nice to have James Marsters pop-up in yet another show I enjoy again too.
