LJ is being a bitch about comments--they're coming to my email but not showing up onsite, which would be a refreshing reversal of the usual bug if it weren't SO DAMN ANNOYING.

Weird coincidence, given that I mentioned Old Yeller in V/15M: Sunday's Pearls Before Swine.(Speaking of which, added a couple of icons to the V/15M folder and the Heroine ( Read more... )

EEEEEEEE I WON SOMETHING IN THE BPAL RAFFLE. And I only bought two tickets, is the best part. Turns out I won one of Kythryne's Wearable Sculpture pendants (EEEEEEEE).

(I am a bad person who totally forgot to link to evilbearhunter's BPAL swap/sale last weekend like I promised. She has Tintagel and Sugar Skull! Siren is teh yum [no, really, I've been wearing it ( Read more... )

Mmmturkey.

I keep meaning to tell you a couple of stories about my mom, but I never quite get around to it. This may be in part because I can't figure out a way to turn "Mom happened to see Closer on cable and won't stop talking about it" into an actual story. The best part is that I'm pretty sure she didn't like the movie, but she spent about a ( Read more... )

read this and sign it if you do not then you are an asshole!

Well, that's certainly a new one, I thought, glancing over the chain letter. Here's the rest of the text portion: ( Warning, somewhat graphic )

Here's what I do when I'm sick, apparently: make icons.

( All heroine addiction: Wendy, Guineveira, Violet Baudelaire, yesterday's Hermione, and a metric ton of Satine )

Again, for the HP fans on the f-list: two new Harry Potter posters. The top one cracks me up for some reason--it's so dramatic and cluttered. And dig Tiny Lurking Sirius in each one.

ETA: New Heroine Addict icon from the second poster:

Jonesing for chocolate. V-Day stash is dwindling. Neeeeeeeed choooooocolaaaaaate. If you know of any good day-after-Valentine's sales at stores trying to get rid of their stock, let me know. Particularly if one can order online and not show up in person, all a-twitch with chocolate jones ( Read more... )

Home alone! Wooo! Sister Girl is off visiting her boyfriend at Fort Benning, where he is showering her with gifts (so far: he sent over a talking toy Scottie dog who sings "I'm Mr. Lonely" with perfectly-timed mouth movements). So, on one hand, I'm spending Valentine's Day alone (awww), but on the other--I'M SPENDING IT ALONE! WOOOOO ( Read more... )

So. The latest entry on the Literature of Antebellum Reform reading list is Ten Nights in a Bar-Room And What I Saw There (1851), and it's gone from sort of quaintly engaging to balls-out melodrama in a matter of chapters. My favorite chapter is "The Seventh Night," in which debauched young gambler Willy Hammond is stabbed to death by swindler ( Read more... )

I feel sort of bad about having so many icon entries, but people seem to like them, so... three more, from requests, and one in a new style I'm trying out. I do like the very simple Silkscreen-font style that I've been using, just because it's nicely unobtrusive, so I probably won't stop using that, but sometimes the pictures look better with ( Read more... )
