Happy Birthday, Mr.Pratchett!

You were born in the same year like my mum which is not the main reason why I adore you.

I am in the mood to do some Discworld pics now. Maybe Angua - I would like to be like her. Well, I am almost like her minus the bravery and plus some kilograms.

Or maybe I will read Good Omens again. Oh yes... I hope I will live long enough to see it as a film, by Terry Gilliam preferably.

I travel by train twice a week. Sometimes weird situations occur:

1. The Journey to the Past
I gaze out off the window and in the tender velvet dusk I see a pheasant in a field, a hare among bushes, a roe on a meadow, a TRICERATOPS in a forest... after a lot of WTF, OMG, IIDA (isn´t it dead already?!). I realize that we pass the dinopark.
OK, it was dark and the statue looked lifelike... anyone could get confused... right?

2. Eroticism
I am staring out off the window and in the sunny afternoon I can see three guys standing next to the railway. Two of them showing their fat naked arses, the third one showing his... front. I was the only one in coupe who noticed that and was scarred for life.

3. Miss Train
I was sitting alone in a coupe when the door burst open and a guy swayed in. He looked at me and told me: "Miss, you are the most beautiful woman in this train."
Me: ...
Guy: "Do you have a lover or a boyfriend?"
Me: ... (If I survive that intact I will buy a gun.)
Guy: "´Cause you are the most gorgeous girl in this train. Really. It makes man happy to see someone so pretty."
Me: (points to other coupes) "There must be more beautiful ladies this way." Because I am clever like that, oh yes.
Guy: (touches his heart) "Impossible. You are absolutely beautiful. Good bye, miss. It was a pleasure to see you." (leaves)
Me: ( :-o

Now, does it count when a merry drunk tells you you are the most beautiful woman on the train?

As for the mad guys courting, I remebered Wolf from The 10th Kingdom.

or Vermeer makes somersaults in his grave.

I found old watercolours, watched the movie with Scarlet Johanson and Colin Firth and thought about Luna Lovegood.

The course of my mental processes never did run smooth, but now when I look at it, it makes sense. I guess Luna would like the dress and the girl´s expression is just Loony.

It was fun, even though watercolours hate me.

Hermione, you are next! :-D







 

A short thing for remeciel (who draw me this wonderful, slashy and NWS picture)

 

HP fandom, Sirius-centric gen.  Characters are JKR´s and whatnot.

Happy Easter everyone!

I practiced traditional egg decoration technique.

You take an egg, glue, scissors and straw and cut and stick and glue for hours and end up completely sticky with impossible things glued to various parts of your body, but sometimes it is worth it.

Tomorrow, on Easter Monday boys chase girls and whip them with rods to drive winter away from their bodies and bring them new life and fertility.
Kinky.

My town is a fantasy town because:

- the beer distribution looks like this.

- there are dragons!

- Sirius Black lives there. In a house that is only about 100 years old. His mother would have a fit.

- and James Potter lives almost next to him. Once a show-off, always a show-off.

- there is also the Great A-Tuin fountain.

- and demon horses get stuck in walls. Or maybe he is just crossing from one dimension to another.

It looks like this place is some kind of underworld for HP characters. I have to go and find Lupin.

It was a dark and stormy night yesterday.
Actually, there was a windstorm called Emma. So far I didn´t have too much trouble with it. Fortunately. Our household just was without electricity for an hour or so. I spent the time in the dark thinking of plots for drabbles and other weird things.

There was no beta, so I apologize for my English. And Czech :-)

A drabble for fera_festiva. 
Fandom: HP/Discworld
Prompt: Snape Kills Dumbledore from the perspective of Discworld's Death, please. :D
Warning: Characters belong to Terry Pratchett and J.K. Rowling. I am none of them, so I get no money from that.

Another drabble  for e_danae written in Czech.
Fandom: Howl´s Moving Castle
Prompt: Howl meets the With of the Waste for the first time...
Warning: Not mine. Diana´s and Hayao´s.
                

I got the idea from my_matylda who got it from josika...

En Checo

Prvním deseti osobám, které připojí k tomuto povídání svůj komentář a požádají mě o napsání drabble (povídka o sto slovech) na téma, které si sami vyberou, bude tato prosba splněna. Nicméně na oplátku dotyčný musí umístit obdobnou výzvu na svůj blog. Doplňte fandomy, pro které jste ochotni psát.

En Inglés

First ten people who comment on this post and ask me to write a drabble (a short story about 100 words long) on a theme of their choice will get their drabble from me. However, in exchange he/she should post similar challenge on his/her LJ, blog, etc. Add fandoms you are willing to write about.

Somehow I doubt that as many as ten people know about the existence of this LJ, so good for me :-D Anyway, comment and I will try to write something from these fandoms: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings (oh, sweet days of my youth!),  mythology (is it a fandom? - Norse, Greek,...), Howl´s Moving Castle (Diana W. Jones anyone?) and Discworld.
I can brave even cross-overs, but the result will be your fault only.

Thankfully not by me. Though I made one about Mary Sue.

Those that I have in mind are actually funny.

The take on HP afterlife by cloudlessnights.

I find her Sims Sirius and Remus (and even Severus) disturbingly handsome. See the depths of my despair. I should get a life, but I don´t have any idea where to look for it.

Trivination, The Boy Who Lived, A Fugly Debate (I could not agree more with this one), Pwned (or the life and times of Severus Snape) and many others by Slinkers.

Forget about my weird attraction Sims men, I can fall even for Remus with "blank TV" eyes.

Eurovision song contest is more weird and boring than fun. Singers are obviously proud to represent their nation, so they mostly sing in English, because they think it will bring them more votes, songs are often boring and the performer´s views of image are frequently downright bizzare.
Yet when we had national nomination evening, we could choose some real musicians, like Gipsy.cz  or Čechomor. (Čechomor is my favorite group, so I am quite partial to them :-)
Unfortunately, Czechs decided that they should be represented by knickers.

The last Harry Potter book in Czech translation is going to be published in a few days.  And I will be all reminiscent. Prepare yourself for a celebratory wank.
In the meantime, I rec you a great overview of the Deathly Hallows, done chapter by chapter by
fera_festiva 

Looks like I am turning into Mrs Coulter. My daemon.

And yep, I have seen The Golden Compass.  There is an old cinema  and a multiplex in our town. I heart the old cinema, unlike most of moviegoers which means that when I go to see a film (about three weeks later than those who go to multiplex) I usually have a whole row in the theatre all for myself.
I liked the movie. It was a good fantasy adventure. Very scenic and Victorian. It was an introduction to the world made by Philip Pullman and a boost to read the book. I realized the film was more or less true to the book. I made an interesting comparision though. The book is very naturalistic in the drastic scenes, the film was more "lets not scare anyone too much" sort. I wonder about the second film, because if they have evaded the fact that children can die so far, in the next part it will be very difficult.
I am intrigued and will continue reading the saga. The books are poignant, clever and after the disappointment from HP saga I can appreciate a well written story where everything has its role and the adult characters are not flat.

Damn, triple damn! Heath Ledger is gone.
I still can´t believe it.
I wasn´t even his fangirl, like a proper one. I just liked him. Cool guy.
I noticed him properly when Terry Gilliam was shooting "Brothers Grimm" in Czech Republic. I was planning to watch his "Casanova" and I definitely want to see the new Batman...
It is scary. He is just a few years my senior and then something happens...
And here I am writing an obituary.

I decorated the Christmas tree. It looks weird, but since it is artificial and quite vintage,  it is OK as long as it stands.
I made cookies!

I wrote a Christmas story about Luna Lovegood for a friend.
I cleaned house.
I got a poem published in this
- I took part in a poetry competition and won. One of prizes was a book with all competing poems. Since the competition was called "Poetry out of a drawer" the book  symbolizes the drawer. It is cute :-)

Still, I have the odd feeling I forgot something.

Yep! Got it: Merry Christmas, guys!

I could sum up my carrier as a writer with "nothing". I keep sending my book of short stories to publishing houses and get no responses.
I wish they would at least send me an e-mail saying NO WAY IN HELL, GIRL in stead of this sodding silence.
I wonder if the bitches editors even read it.

Anyway, I took part in a poetry competition organized during Libri Festival in Olomouc, so this evening I am off to read my poem publicly. LOL will ensue.

This day is my great "try to post a picture and not kill anyone" day. I found out that Photobucket is far too mystical for me. After fighting with it for some time and giving up, I found out that the picture have been posted, twice. 
Me 0: Internet 4.

I drew this for remeciel who is one of the guys who made me love pairing SiriusxRemus. 

My take on my OTP is very tame one. Gen, see, nothing suspicious going on.

(Still, I can almost hear the tree thinking: "Still the straightest.")

 I found this while wading  sorting through the piles of paper lying around my room.  O memories!

In our English Practical final we were requested to write an essay on topics such as Your last evening in prison before execution. What will be the last entry in your diary? or You had been kidnapped by pirates. After some years you got chance to send a message to your family. 

I chose the pirates and as a true pirate I stole from pretty anything that I read at that time. Most of the authors cannot sue me anymore, but still I don´t own PoC, PoA - HP, I mean, or any other copyrighted abbreviations.

Madness ensues.

Madness that got me 94%. Mwhahahaha!



 

Finally, it happened. After years of stalking and snooping in other people´s LJs I decided to creep out of shadows and get a LJ account.
Now, lets see how this works...
