In lieu of anything interesting

Nov 29, 2008 17:43

Hey, you know what I feel like doing? A MEME.

The flickr mosaic meme, specifically, which I stole from missmp:

01. Answer each of the questions below the cut using the [Flickr] search engine. (ETA: I've changed the URL so it will automatically search "Most Interesting" for you ( Read more... )

I love old-fashioned typewriters.

There is a deep satisfaction to the rhythmic tonkclick of each stroke that goes with every letter that comes from your head. Makes the process tangible. Tiptap of keyboards is not the same.

Oh, actually typing on one would absolutely destroy my wrists. I'm all over the ergonomic keyboards. I just enjoy the look.

sucrelefey November 30 2008, 03:14:57 UTC

Yes bad for wrist but better for knuckles; we need an ergonomic cross breed.

Oooh, i totally want to do this. Your mosaic came out really pretty and random :3

When you search, make sure you hit "most interesting" (rather than "recent" or "relevant") for the results. You get prettier pictures that way.

oh... teehee, oops.

I've already done it. I got some pictures I thought were pretty, but I obviously like faces better than you do :3

That photo of the woods in no.7 looks a lot like how I imagined the Wood Between the Worlds to look!

YES! I didn't even think about it until you said that!

I am outing myself as a total luddite by saying this, but I actually had no idea of the depth and breadth of amazing photos of flickr. I am totally in love with how gorgeous and unique everyone's mosaics are.

See, you have to hit the "most interesting" option when you search to get the really good stuff. Once you know that, it's all over. Whenever I write a new scene for Black Ribbon, I go look up stuff ("hotel," "ballroom," "Whitechapel," whatever), and just sit and look at pictures for a while. It's almost as bad as TV Tropes, in terms of sucking you in and not letting you out for a few days.

I totally have a girl crush on the double C(K)ates, Blanchett and Winslet.

I love the colours of the mosaic, though. This is a great meme!

cleolinda November 30 2008, 00:16:36 UTC

Oh, I love Kate Winslet, too! She probably rounds out the top three for me. Although Eva Green is also awesome. And...

... You see why I didn't want to deal with the male crushes now.
