Of Music, David Anders, Tom Felton, and LJ  
  • I can't stop listening to Letters From The Sky by Civil Twilight, apparently it was in Harpers Island, and One Tree Hill. I really need to download the Harpers Island episodes, I only saw the first few episodes before network 10 starting airing them really late at night and I wasn't able to watch anymore.
  • Calling for all David Anders fans (if there's still any on my flist) I've really neglected him, and while I was bored (and I'll admit, looking for Alexander Skarsgård photos) and on Getty Images before and found all these new photos from last month. I really wish he would stop cutting his hair this length, it doesn't look good on him. He's not like ASkars who is like one of the few people I think look really hot with short hair (i.e Brad Colbert)

    LAS VEGAS - JUNE 11: Actor David Anders of 'The Revenant' poses for a portrait during the 2009 CineVegas film festival held at the Palms Casino Resort June 12, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

  • While I was looking for ASkars photos I came across some of Tom Felton too.

Aww there was left over puff pastry and in my bordem I rolled it all up and made a "A", but there was no room on the tray in the oven for it, then I walked out before and asked my Mum if she threw it in the bin and she didn't, she made room on the tray for it!

Of Comic Con, True Blood, Tom Felton, Macs, and Torchwood  
  • YAY Comic Con details are out!! Does anyone who went last year, remember if True Blood has any swag?? And what it was?? I'm curious to what we might expect this year.
    ‘True Blood’ Comic-Con: Details on the vampire invasion
    The “True Blood” panel at San Diego Comic-Con is likely to be one of the hottest tickets of the convention, which takes place July 23-26. And we’ve finally got the details on who’ll be there.

    The panel will take place at 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, and here’s the rundown of who will be appearing on the panel: Executive producer Alan Ball, Charlaine Harris (who wrote the novels on which the HBO show is based), Anna Paquin (Sookie), Stephen Moyer (Bill), Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette), Rutina Wesley (Tara), Sam Trammell (Sam), Alexander Skarskard (Eric), Michelle Forbes (Maryann) and Deborah Ann Woll (Jessica).</p>

    Ryan Kwanten (Jason) will be shooting a movie in Australia, so he and his abs will be unable to attend.

    One thing I’m double checking on, so don’t take this to the bank yet: I believe the panel is in Ballroom 20, but will update this post when I find out for sure.


  • This poll amuses me, it's almost not fair.

  • Tom Felton has been looking quite good recently at all the Harry Patter and the Half Blood Price events.

  • My MacBook Pro is slowly growing on me. The I annoyed the other day because Mac's way of uninstalling software is just to drag and drop into the trash, which doesn't work when the software places files all over your system. I wasn't able to uninstall Adobe Master Suit CS4 properly as it kept detecting it was installed, I eventually found that Adobe made a app that deletes CS4 for you (I think many people have had the same issue). I'm still annoyed that I can't get a lot of my PC software on it though.
  • I also watched Day 1 - 5 of Torchwood. I lost interest in the show but when I finally got around to watching it, it hooked me right it. I liked the continus storyline, because it kept me more interested compared to the standalone episodes. spoilers )
  • Have to go help my mother cook tart things now.

Of Twilight, True Blood, and iPhones  
OMG ACA you fail, they had a super lame story today about Twilight fans being ripped off and how a group of kids lined up for hours for an appearance to only get to the front of the line to learn that you had to pay $30 per autograph (not even personalised), made extra funny because Kellan and Eddie came down here so long ago, and their only now airing about it.

Also, this made me LOL, can you imaging RPattz in True Blood? Does this mean True Blood was his first choice? I wonder what role he was going for.
Is it true that you did castings for vampire characters before?

Yes, I did an audition for True Blood, but that didn't work out. I didn't think I would get the role of Edward Cullen either, because the character is very enigmatic. I didn't want to play the biggest vampire stereotype, so I tried to humanize him.


I was debating whether I should sync my iPhone (when/if I get it) to my MacBook Pro or my PC, but I think I'll go with PC because I like having my play counts and applications already one there. I think I'm only going to use my MacBook Pro, which I think I need to name but I can't think of anything, for just listening when I'm away from the PC.

I'm not liking not being able to get some of my favourite programs on the Mac. I miss Semagic for posting on LJ, using iJournal right now and it just isn't cutting it. I loved being able to hightlight something and being able to bold it by just clicking B (as well as a billion other formatting options), no spell check (we all know I need that), also doesn't seem to be able to retrieve my tags, I don't like have to type them in myself. I'll have to look around and see what else there is out there, if anyone has any recs let me know (that doesn't require me using Wine to run Semagic on my Mac).

I need figure the network stuff out (sometimes it sees my PC, sometimes it doesn't), I want to pull some music off it and put it on iTunes.

Right now, I'm watching Top Gear (on my beloved shiny TV which I got a few months ago), and writing this on my other beloved MacBook Pro (durrrrr). This time today I'll usually be watching True Blood, one more week!!

ETA: What no offline messages on MSN for Mac?!

I also got my Harry Potter tickets, I'm going on the Friday (17th) VMax showing, Wednesday (the day it comes out here) VMax showing has no good seats left.

Dear PC Guy and Bill Gates

I really still love you but today I brought this, and so far I love it. I want to lick it and do dirty things to it. I'm sorry.



Love, [info]bluebear_74


So I went and did it, and I ended even getting the one with higher specs because the graphics card had it's own memory rather than shared it, which meant I spent more than I had planned... again. I ended up getting it at JBHFi because you're able to haggle with them (whereas Apple you can't because their not allowed). They matched the student price, and also took of an extra $40, and took some off the AppleCare also (which I wasn't going to get but I was freaked out something would go wrong and I wouldn't be able to fix it). The WiFi annoyingly won't work, I think it must be our router or the settings, but my brother is going to try and fix it for me, and if he can't we'll take it to Apple, and see if they can help. I've noticed programs are larger to download (VLC and FireFox are both 7MB on PC, but were much larger for OS X). Oh and I'm in love with the screen, so pretty and shiny!! I'm sad I won't get to play with my new toy at work tomorrow because I don't have all the software I need on it yet :(. Oh and the track pad is so much easier than the one on my brother's laptop, I like that you press down to click (my brothers was a tap which meant you couldn't click and drag), 2 fingers to scroll, and 2 fingers to right click.

I had more stuff to post about but I've forgotten, it's late and I have a heap of stuff to do, and a have a bit of a head ache.

Of Apple, Macs, and iPhones  
I am very seriously considering getting a 15" Mac Book Pro (I think 13" might be to small for me since I mainly use it for graphics), but I'm worried I'll hate it and regret spending $2700 on it. I worry that:

  • I'll only use it for work, and never at home, meaning I'll be spending all this money, and it won't really be for me.
  • I'll hate the OS, I've had issues with not liking the OS at Uni, I'm hoping it was only because I didn't use it enough (maybe once or twice a week) to get use to it.
  • Compatibility with software. I worry that software I use in Vista won't work in OS X, or that I'll have to download 2 versions of everything (annoying when Adobe CS4 is 8GB).

Has anyone on my flist had the same issues, or have opinions? Oh and can someone tell me if there's a right click? I hated so much there wasn't one. I kind of want to go to Chadstone this weekend.

Also YAY 3 Mobile finally put a date up on when they would be getting the iPhone 3GS, July 17th. I just hope the plans won't be to expensive.

I feel like such a PC traitor right now.

ETA: Channel 10 are playing a Merlin special on Sunday, and their saying it's a Australia exclusive, but I think it might be stuff from the DVD, but I haven't seen the features so I have no idea. Either way I'll be sure to watch.

Alexander Skarsgård News
  • Alexander and David Anders mentioned in the same article? Can it be?
    If Tom Cruise Doesn’t Headline ‘Mission: Impossible IV,’ Then Who Should Take His Place?
    There are several other actors on the small screen that he could give a similar boost to, such as “Lost”’s Josh Holloway, “True Blood’s” Alexander Skarsgård and former “Alias” actor-turned “Heroes” villain David Anders. Heck, even Meyers’ “Tudors” co-star Henry Cavill could fit the bill.

  • There's also a part 2 of the making of the Paparazzi music video, there's snippets of Alex throughout the clip.
  • Alex is also confirmed he will be at Comin Con. Cue my jealously at everyone going.
  • New movie rumours for Alexander??
  • Alexander Skarsgård fans go join SkarsgardNews.com forum and join in on the fun!!
  • E!News has a poll for Who's the Robert Pattinson of True Blood?. Alex is currently on 47.5% (29.9% Stephen Moyer, and 22.6% Ryan Kwanten).
  • Not really Alex news but I'm getting sick of people thinking Twilight came before True Blood. Charlaine's books came out in 2001. HBO made a deal with Alan Ball Oct 31st 2005 for True Blood. The Twilight book came out Oct 5th 2005.

    Tom Felton News
  • Tom Felton posted a photo from a photo shoot he did recently on his Twitter.

  • He also twittered about having to colour his hair for Harry Potter, and showed it off at screening of 'The Disappeared' held at the ICA London, England.


  • Tom is also going to be at the Hot Topic store at Garden State Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey on the 10th (July). More Info.
  • Not Tom related, but Harry Potter related. Rove recently flew to London to interviewed both Daniel and Rupert on the Harry Potter set. This most likely won't air this week since the show is already packed with Matt Preston (from Master Chef) KRudd (aka Kevin Kudd, the Australian Prime Minister), and Bruno (the sexiest gay Austrian since Arnold Schwarzenegger, and who was hilarious on Conan).

Robin Hood: I fell a bit out of love with the show that the start of the season, but fell in love again towards the end. I just finished watching the final and Big Spoilers ).

Also I have question for those who have both an iPhone and iPod. Are you able to sync different iTunes libraries to each?? For example I have an iPod that syncs to my iTunes library, but I have a iPhone also, but I don't want to sync the 30GB of music I have on my iPod to my iPhone also, I just want to sync 10GB.

Also has anyone brought Sims 3 for the iPod/iPhone any good??
