It's New Year's Eve...
…before long I am going to go and watch movies with my boys until midnight.
They’re currently watching Pirates of the Caribbean: Flogging A Dead Horse…so I’m dragging my heels a bit…but later we’re going to watch Aaron’s Green Lantern DVD.
But then I shall return, and it would be awesome if we could kick off the New Year with a load of interesting...
NEW YEAR'S HUGS FOR EVERYONE!!

I am human
..and I need to be loved, just like everybody else does.

I just love how on British shows women and men look average, and in the shows in America everybody has to be super hot to be a leading character.

“I’m on the last episode of season two…season three is notorius for...”
– Me, on rewatching classic Star Trek.
I'm amused...
…remember when the Battlestar Galactica finale aired, and a lot of sci-fi fans objected to it, particularly those who had been raised on a diet of Star Trek, proclaiming that “religion has no place in science fiction!”
Well, I just sat and watched the classic Star Trek episode, “Bread And Circuses” and found myself cringing horribly as Spock, Uhura and Kirk enjoyed...
“Evidently there was a big royal wedding that happened over here. I didn’t hear...”
– Doug Stanhope. (via ohnolilyrae)
that said the thing about royalty is we dont get to pick it
like it is embarrassing as fuck that we have it, but none of us actively voted for it, that is sort of the awful point of it
it’s still terrible though
cmon guys wheres the revolution

chemistry.about.com/od/… might help, as it gives some chemical to water ratio. I did this in school many years ago, and we just used water heated in a kettle.
Thank you! I’ve bookmarked that so I can find it when we next make an attempt at growing crystals!

aw Texas represent y’all
But can the Texans grab the top spot?!
Also…I’ve been to conventions in two of the top three US states that visit this blog so far…in Illinois and California…and I’m thinking of going to one in the fourth placed state next year, New York.
Why is...

…Zak got a Dr Who Silurian Crystal Making Kit for Christmas…
…and he wanted to…well…make a Silurian crystal with it…

Good bye. (btw, at least you are not insulting and you write well! As for me, my English is not even that great so sorry if there was a lot of mistakes in my nonsense ..)
