I've got my love to keep me warm.


I'm not much of a Christmas music person. It's not that I dislike it, I just don't love it as much as, oh let's say...my sister But there is this CD that we have at my house called "Wish: Xmas Remixed" and I adore it! It's my dad and we've had it for a few years. I am crazy for it every Christmas time. I don't know if you can buy it online though. I just looked it up on Amazon.com and the search had zero results. I recall my dad saying a long time ago that it was from Banana Republic...Does that even make sense? A clothing store? Well, it must have come from somewhere exclusively if it's not on Amazon. Perhaps you could find the songs individually, though.

It has 12 tracks - remixes of classic Christmas songs. My favorite is #2, the Stuhr remix of "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm." It's awesome. If you can find it, download it!

Anyways...

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We did something a little different at my house this year: we lifted our dining room table right out the doors  on the deck and ate outside!

This is old news now, but since I have not updated my journal since August, I feel that I must mention --- XF2 is official now! Filming starts in eighteen days on December 10th and they are shooting for a July 25th release!

My best friend Erin got a puppy! It's a pretty exciting thing because I never expected them to since her family (except for her mom) has allergies...But they got a hypoallergenic dog! His name is Apollo and he is a miniature schnauzer. img264.imageshack.us/img264/66…

I'm digging Gallery v2! It's a little annoying to my routine-loving self that I have to do a little more clicking than usual, but the news features are cool. I have been saying to myself for a long time now that we should be able to browse a user's gallery by category and we now can! Thanks deviantART!

I deleted a few old and gross deviations. Since my last journal entry, I have only submitted a few things, but you know me. School and such.

Thank you so very much for 3,000+ pageviews

In case I don't journal again for awhile, Happy Holidays everyone!

I can't remember a worse December...

Hey there!

I was going to wait until I had 2,000 pageviews (at 1,951 currently ) to do my next journal, but ah hell - didn't feel like waiting any longer!

So...erm, I went to Duxbury back in June! You probably already knew that, though, if you look at my deviations...Hmmm...

Oh! I went to York, Maine for a week with Erin Last year when I went I didn't have a digital camera. This year I did. Can you believe it, though, I forgot to clear the memory card before I left! And it was stuff I didn't want to delete so I was only able to take a few pictures None of the actual place...Just some of Erin and I. And only one was worthy enough for my gallery

Here's a .gif of us: img519.imageshack.us/img519/80…

And now for more current news!

Today is deviantART's 7th birthday Congratulations! And thanks for making this place awesome. Pretty cool stuff, pretty cool. I've only been here for a little longer than a year, but it's been great! I'm on here a lot more than I used to be

On a side-note, yet dA related > I joined a few new clubs!

But this journal isn't called Happy Birthday just for you dA. You see, there's a couple more birthdays I would like to address!

To the man, the myth, the monotone:
HAPPY 47th BIRTHDAY, DAVID DUCHOVNY!!! You're still awesome. And never too old for XF2

He's in the most recent issue of Entertainment Weekly. Check it out!! Two page Spotlight article And go to Showtime's website (www.sho.com/site/californicati…) to watch the pilot episode of his new series, Californication. Hank is going to hell.

Here is his IMDb page: www.imdb.com/name/nm0000141/

Be sure to catch him on Jay Leno on Thursday night, on Jimmy Kimmel Friday night, and on David Letterman next Friday the 17th!!

My good friend:

And...as if that weren't enough...it's Gillian Anderson's birthday on Thursday! HAPPY 39th BIRTHDAY, GA Click >www.imnotobsessed.com/2007/08/…< here to see an awesome picture of her shooting one of her new movies, "How To Lose Friends and Alienate People."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

ACK! I can't think of much else to say Well, like I said I shall be reaching 2,000 pageviews very soon...So thank you everyone!!! That's pretty neat! It may not be a lot to others but considering that fact that I had like 90 pageviews for awhile, I'll take it

And I have 36 watchers now! Last time I journaled I had less than 20 and about 1,200 pageviews. Cool, cool.

Hope you all like my new deviations.

That's all for now!

Gee...long time-no journal

Long time-no dA really. I have not gotten to responding to comments or going through my inbox, or anything. But I have not been inactive, you may have noticed. I have come here everyday. I just wasn't doing anything

But I am trying! I am totally swamped now! And that is because I procrastinated when I had to get through the minor swamp. It is a very big swamp now. Indeed

I have hundreds of deviations to look and and many, many messages. The actual numbers shown are 148 devs and 75 messages. But I deleted a lot of devs awhile back, telling myself I would manually check them later. So sorry my watchees (what else can I call you?). I am really hoping to see all your stuff. People tell me *you don't have to look at every single thing* but I think I should. Why else am I watching you? I'm watching you because I enjoy your work or you're my friend. and I want to be a good friend.

It seems like I mention having a full inbox or an empty one every journal entry

Whoo! I have almost 20 watchers! That is pretty cool And around 1200 pageviews. Also neat...considering I had 960 when I wrote my last entry.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

In other news - which you probably don't care about but I will mention anyways - here are some random notes:

1. My friend and I finished Season One of the X-Files (of course, psssh what else would anyway watch) awhile ago and soon after that we started ripping through Season Two! We got halfway through it. Which is saying something pretty impressive because it took us months to get through S1. But then we came to a stop. After hanging out every weekend (and sometimes during the week) for months and months we haven't been able to hang out. Pah. She had to serve tea, Mother's Day, our parents working a lot, etc...obstacles. Whatever. Random note.

2. I am seeing Wicked on October 11th

3. Whooooo! Haven XF DVDs from Tud!!! Whoo whoo! Thank you Tud! I don't feel like explaining what those are right now and only those that know would care anyway. I've waited years for these! I've only watched two discs though, haha. So good, so good. I'm telling you: the gag reels are to die for. And the David Duchovny celebrity video! Playing on my TV! And its clear! Dream come true. I still have to thank Tud. I feel terrible that I have not gotten around to emailing him. Maybe that will happen today.

4. We got Windows Vista awhile ago. Yeah. Very different.

5. School is almost over. The last day is June 18th (a Monday, no one will go). It really sucks that the whole week before that is just exams. Baah.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That is about it! I am swamped in every area of life right now (not so much in school, actually ). But I have a ton of stuff to do on the NewSpace Forum (shameless plug: anewspace.20.forumer.com/index…) and other internet things. I want to clean my room (which I never do but I started to like a month ago and didn't finish). I need to do laundry.

I will be submitting stuff soon! Maybe today! None of it is really new...things I made some time ago but never uploaded them.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Ode to Venom: Strangers in the night...
I am sorry Venom. You were not done justice in Spider-Man 3. I was extremely disappointed to see my favorite SM villain shafted like that. After being so excited, ordering tickets for opening day in advance...and then that!?! My sadness prompted my to so a crayon drawing of your face. Perhaps I will add it to Scraps.

I did not hate the movie (sooooo many people did) but I was super annoyed with how they did Venom. They should not have cast Topher Grace as Eddie. I have thought that since the second when we found out he was playing Venom so long ago. That kid is way too skinny. And they got Brock all wrong! He's not the funny one! Venom is. And Venom's voice was horrendous. I wished they had a "we" in the script...I love when he talks of himself as both the symbiote and the man. What was with the "I"? And what the hell was with the crying?!?! Oh, oh! And NO TONGUE?!?!?! NO FUCKING TONGUE! VENOM IS THE TONGUE!

Also, I feel the film was falsely advertised. It was supposed to be dark (which I would have loved) and it really wasn't. Really. They could have done a better job with Peter's story of wearing the black suit. I hate how they didn't address it much - all its powers. And it was never mentioned that Pete's spider sense can't detect Venom That's important.

Gwen didn't need to be in the movie. There was too much going on. Her character went no where in the film. She just disappeared by the end. I was excited to see her, but she should have been omitted. Or killed. Hah, but then she would have to die a different way than she really did because we already did the whole Goblin/bridge thing in SM1 with MJ.

Some of the lines were cheesy. Acting sketchy at times.

Like I said, I didn't hate it. But it certainly wasn't "Easily the best of the trilogy" and one of the greatest films of the decade like the commercials are saying! I would really have to see Spider-Man 3 again to form a final opinion, but I believe the SM2 was the best one.

Hopefully The Lizard will be in the fourth one. And I can handle Carnage. I just hope they'll show Kasady as the murderous man he is and not try to make the audience relate and sympathize with him like they did with Marko! Pssh *rolls eyes* We're allowed to dislike villains, Sam.

GAWD! I am so sorry That is a long entry.

Deviously Devious Update from the Deviant:

I'm so excited that spring has started! It's starting to get warm Since I received my camera as a birthday present in the dead of winter, I haven't had the chance yet to photograph sunny/bright things. Hopefully I'll get some good deviations to submit in the coming season.

I am happy with my newest deviations! It was probably the last real snow I'll see in awhile so I am glad that I was able to capture the memory. The rose began to wilt a few days ago so I took it out of its vase and it is now hanging upside down so it will dry straight. Maybe its beauty will be preserved in death It could make another appearance in my gallery

Thank you so much to everyone who I have received comments, favorites, and watches from in the last week. I appreciate it all so much

I almost have 1000 pageviews!! At 960, currently! Yeah, yeah. That's not that high. But its kind of a milestone, right? I wonder if I'll even get to know who it is that hits the mark. Forty views away!

And to my friends: I have almost 40 deviations in my inbox. I have not deleted them or forgotten. I just have not gotten to them, but I will! You know me...how often do I comment right away? So you all will probably be getting comments in the next few days...maybe favorites for some of you :wink:

I wasn't going to get into the whole club thing...but now I have two more clubs on my list besides the XF one that I run with Peter (*waves to Pete-o*). I'm trying them out

And anyone else excited by spring - check out this Easter competition > news.deviantart.com/article/26… < Geschi is one of the judges. Go Geschi!

P.S. How do I post the news article as a hyperlink?
