In which I am random
Ok, first things first. My word meters...
Mini NaNo is going really really well. Ridiculously well. Unfortunately for me... it isn't because I've been writing Strays. Oops. The upside is a nice chunk is writing a scene from the steampunky thing I want to submit... Not that I have names. Or a plot. But the scene is very very pretty.

WIP: Strays

Changing gears completely... David had been offered the job I was worried about. The thing is, he isn't taking it. And for very very good reasons. First and foremost, when he went to meet the person, she wasn't wearing pants. And not for good reasons. Not a comfortable situation. Other things were not at all sanitary, and yeah. Not happening. So. That sucks, I'm disappointed cos I'd been very much looking forward to some cash to set aside and maybe spend a little of, but it is, thankfully, no big deal right now. We're still ok. It just sucks to have your hopes dashed...
In happier news..... I'm so going to watch Minuteman just for the two of them. As long as they're in it, the rest of it can suck. No really. (Also, I think I'm the only one amused by the spitting. Yes, I think it's gross. I'm still amused. Freakin' cowboys...)
Ummmm. What else...
White Collar continues to be made of win. It leaves me with a happy sense of satisfaction, and I have fun watching it. I'm kind of annoyed by the apparent replacement of a certain character still, but whatever. Maybe it didn't work out for the actress or something between the pilot and the rest. It's definitely on par, for me, with Burn Notice, and niggling upwards. It won't upstage Leverage, but oh man. So much love.
And because I don't seem to have any more words today (1166 must be enough, yes?) I'm going to do that icon meme again. But! If you're not interested in me giving you icons to choose from, you can choose icons for me in the comments and I'll answer about them in the comments, ok?
1. Comment to this entry saying 'ICONS!' and I will pick SIX of your icons.
2. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I chose.
From raggedy_edge:
1:
My original evil icon... It's Sam from Reaper. I liked the show, but it was a crappy time slot for me to watch it, and so I just sort of drifted away. But it has an amazing mischievous look, don't you think? And I think those are like party hats, but they look like demon horns, and yes. It just suited me so well and I resist giving it up whenever I make icon space.
2:
Ok. I have a school girl crush. I'm sure y'all have figured this out by now? He looks like a kid that's been told he can have whatever he wants in a candy store, completely and utterly adorkable, and quite possibly the closest to "innocent" as I'll ever have in an icon... I also really like the colors, and the way the stripes on his shirt and the background work together.
3:
Fiona is awesome, and beautiful (despite me occasionally wondering if she actually digests her food), but she's also really freaking intense. I love this icon because it's like the calm before the storm, a connection to something more. It makes me think of those moments when I've gone for a walk, and there's a perfect song on, and the wind and the moment is just utterly perfect...
4:
I adore this icon so much. The pic they chose, the colors, just... yes. But, ironically enough, I didn't choose it because it was prettiful. I chose it (and gods help me for confessing this....) because I was attempting to enable them into writing Kane as a Jedi, and there was something about his hair that just suited it. Every time I look at the icon, I think of this. (Plus... Imagine him wielding dual sabers and tell me it isn't MADE OF WIN, ok?)
5:
I chose this one cos of the expression... it fits a certain mood that I sometimes wish I have an icon for. Also, it's totally like Hardison is imagining himself as Sherlock Holmes. C'mon, you can't tell me that's not exactly what he's doing!
6:
Ok, so we're back to that schoolgirl crush thing. What can I say? She and I like the man. And it's like the label says. "Staring at his hand. Honest." And I totally, absolutely, completely have a thing for his hands. I really do. There's this thing his thumb does...
