Two of these people will be moving on into a final challenge to determine who the Last Icon Maker Standing is. Therefore, no immunity can be used, and the challenge won't be easy.

Someone has posted this video recorded at the wrap party: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-WVr9syJsQ8

It's a recording of the blooper/goodbye video that apparently was played at the party, but the picture is poor quality, and the sound is so bad I can hardly understand a thing anyone is saying. :(

Is that Mary with a blonde wig at the beginning of the blooper video, doing an impression of... whoever?

First off - a big THANK YOU to everyone who ended up voting. It gets hard, I know - but we have to get to a winner! This week, even though we only voted for one least favorite, we're saying goodbye to two people. jehnt had no immunity and did not turn in an icon.

Sadly, we also have to say goodbye to one other person.



own_the_sky - I can't begin to express how fun it was having you in the competition. I very much hope to see you back next round!!

( Voting tally )

Of course, Laura Roslin made the list! You can find that here.

Here's the part of the article about her containing no spoilers:

2. President Laura Roslin: (Mary McDonnell, Battlestar Galactica) Incidentally, McDonnell played Pullman's wife in "Independence Day." Coincidence? Yes.

As the Secretary of Education, sworn in when the other 43 people in line get killed by space robots (both sexy and otherwise) Roslin shows enough fortitude to stand and deliver right in the face of Edward James Olmos, and anyone else who tries to countermand her authority as President. Sure, she's not technically president of the United States, but if David Palmer was the model for Barack Obama, then Roslin is the role model for Hillary Clinton: if someone like Roslin ran for president tomorrow, we'd elect her in a heartbeat. Except for that fringe, left-wing "pro-getting-killed-by-robots" crowd.

LOL, I LOVE IT. Unfortunately, President Nixon's Head from Futurama beat her for the number one slot. *rolls eyes*

title: Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking
pairing: House/Cuddy
song: Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking by Snow Patrol
length: 3;22
disclaimer: When the vulture flies sideways, the moon has hair on its upper lip.

summary & notes: Inspired by the events that have happened on cuddys_house, though you do not have to follow that game in order to watch this vid.

This video is set not long after the shooting. It opens with House being unable to sleep, one of the symptoms of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), and moves through a chaotic journey of House struggling to move on from the shooting and spiralling into a self-destructive cycle as a result. Through it all, Cuddy tries her hardest to help him through his ordeal, while going through her own kind of PTSD at the same time, having realised how close she was to losing House again. The vid ends on an unclear, uncertain note, which was deliberate - there is never an easy fix or answer to PTSD, and I wanted to give the idea that House's struggles with it are far from over. And I wanted to give the idea, too, with the shot of Cuddy asleep next to House, that she intends to stay with him through it all, no matter how tiring and draining it may be.

I focused a lot on using filters and close up shots to get the full effect of the emotions on both House and Cuddy's faces. I've used this filter before - in my 'Passive' video - but I tweaked and fiddled with it to give it a dark, voyeuristic kind of effect. There's no clear-cut storyline and again, that's deliberate: I focused mainly on emotion, on the way House's PTSD causes him to feel and act chaotically and out of control of his own emotions, and the way Cuddy reacts and responds to that. I'm hoping that through the emotions I attempted to convey through this vid that the idea I was aiming for comes across clearly enough.

As always, comments and concrit are very much welcomed and appreciated. :-)

- I get my own connection in ten (working) days. Which means I'll be connected to the net by Friday week.
- DAD'S GF HAS GONE AWAY FOR A WHILE. PARTY TIME, SERIOUSLY.
- But lmao, apparently, he's been seeing this other chick behind his gf's back. He went out on a "hot date" with her this afternoon. Wtf, Dad.
- And lol he has this other chick in Canberra that he likes. HE'S DOING THE ROUNDS, LET ME TELL YOU.
- I started this new medication called Zyprexa, which makes me completely braindead. I spend most of my days utterly zoned out. So not fun.
- My S.O. drove all the way up to Byron from Melbourne in UNDER 24 HOURS. If you're not familiar with Australian geography, that's about 1,700km. Or about 1,100 miles. He's here for two weeks.
- S.O. brought up my computer with him, so this means I have been vidding again! Omg, I have missed vidding.
- I've been writing more fic. Well, during the times when I'm not completely drugged out.
- It's my birthday in ten days! *bounce bounce*
- Um. That's about it. My life is very uninteresting.

HOW HAVE ALL OF YOU BEEN? I feel like I haven't updated in ages.

Edit: Oh, and hay guise - I made a new House fanvid. House/Cuddy, to Snow Patrol's Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking. Check it out here!

Yeah, it's 04:26 AM, and in a few hours I should be awaken, but who cares about rotine when you have some amazing episodes of Doctor Who to watch, some 500 fanfics about a certain red-head (that, btw, you have some lesbian feeling for her) to write and then to improve your sleeping depravation you open your freaking photoshop because you had an idea about how to do that damned coloring you've dreaming about for years! But hey... Who cares if you'll have a terrible day to face and you'll be like a zombie. Well, anyway....

There I was, worshiping Our Lady McD with my old mate Mr. Photoshop. It's a beautiful triangle, if you allow me to say, Ms. McD, Mr. Pshop and me. I finish my icon and I start admiring it when a sudden thought cross my head: "Hey, she's so Mary Jane here...."



If one day Marvel Comics decides to make an Spider Man flash-foward scene, they have the ultimate perfect older Mary Jane!!!!!!!!! By the way, it would be nice to see a superhero getting a "happily ever after".

xDDD

I swear one day I'll come with some non-useless entries here, just for a change.

bsg_challenge LIVES! Join the community, share your artwork, and meet the challenge! It's no contest and our current challenge is to create icons/artwork for the BSG movie Razor! So head on over and just have some fun.

You guys - Voting is terrible this round. I know it gets harder as we get closer to the end, but keep in mind that eventually you're going to have to pick a winner. So come on! We want to get to that point, don't we?

So, get your booties in gear and go vote, right over heeeerrrreee! Pimp it like it's hot!

I need input.

Since I ride my horse (Corona) a whole ONE TIME A WEEK, and just on trail rides, and she is fat and crazy since I never take her off the farm, should I randomly decide to go to a wee bitty show with a couple girls I work with on Thursday?

I might die. But it might be fun, y/n?

....?

Show of (virtual) hands!!

(And, no, I am not planning on wearing the Christmas Outfit of Awesome in my icon; pffft)

And also, I frakkin hate the 4th of July. That is all.

Because it's my favorite episode AND the first BSG ep I EVER saw; a little icon-tribute to 'Tigh me up, Tigh me down."
Made some: Laura, Bill and Group-icons!
