The joy of the empty apartment

[hiyacynth]

The maternal units have departed. My house is my own again.

Just me and the kittehs feels really really good. Am now catching up on LJ and calming myself with epic war movies.

Two things I've learned this weekend.

Thing One: If you're gonna write boys' names on your underwear, you should wear them "plain" first, THEN write on them. Because

I am thinking of joining you in the ranks of the fangirl underwear..ers. I have some fabric paint and pens because I'm always vandalizing t-shirts when I'm bored. Underwear may just be the natural progression. I want some Eugene Roe ones. I might wait till I'm in university though - I don't fancy explaining to my mother why the knickers she's washing have a strange man's name written on them. She, like yours, doesn't understand fandom.
Are you enjoying the BoB DVD's? Ron Livingstone's video diary is really cool - have you seen that yet? There's a bit where they're in Boot Camp and are all exhausted and..well I won't say any more in case you haven't seen it yet, but it involves Webster and Perconte and it's very funny!

No trouble for the icon - I'm sorry it's not any better - I'm still a newbie at this sort of thing! Send my love to the kittehs!

Fangirl undies are the next big thing. You should definitely join the club. Think of all the permutations of BoB knickers you could have. I think Wild Bill should get your green-with-skulls pair.

I love my BoB DVDs, thank you very much. I had borrowed a friends DVDs back in April or so, after seeing the first two on The History Channel, so I've been through all the special features once. Am looking forward to watching them again, though, esp. the video diary. As I mentioned, I spent late nights Friday and Saturday, and most of yesterday, watching my very own DVDs. I've discovered the beauty of my laptop's DVD player. So hi-res. My TV sucks. So now I can actually see who all the guys in the background of any scene are. I'm inappropriately intensely interested in watching the video diary again now that I know who's who

lol. I was slightly shocked for a moment that you seemed to be able to describe my underwear down to a tee. Oh my God she's inside my head!!!
Ahem. But then I realised, I must have told you right. Right?! My memory is so bad. But Wild Bill underwear - yeah!!!. Wild Bill. Wild Bill Guarnere. Gonorrhea.

Wild Bill Gonorrhea....

There's no way I'm writing that on my knickers! Hahahahhahaha!

[hiyacynth]

...you seemed to be able to describe my underwear down to a tee...

Be afraid. Be very afraid. My underwear powers are focused on you...

No, you're right, you did describe your new knickers to me. And for the record, I think you're right about leaving the "Gonorrhea" part off. Anther slogan to avoid: "Pissing Needles."

[cunien]

Ooh but now I have the irrestible urge to write "Pissing Needles" on them, just for the hell of it, 'cause I'm wild like that, me. lol. That would really worry my mother!

Resistence is futile. Do eeet! Do eeet!

I love your icon, btw. This is just one of my favorite Roe moments. Even before they start the real fighting, he's like, "Do not kill my boys. Do not even pretend to kill my boys. I will take you down."

I'm so obsessed. I made a huge list of icons I want to make yesterday. I tried to make some, but I can't make the crop quality match the original. How do you do it? I think the key is what lamadeleine pointed out yesterday: Don't use crap programs, and try to learn how to use them. Lol.

[cunien]

Thanks! I love that moment too! 'I will take you down.' - lol! Yeah, there's not much that Roe get's angry about, but you lay one finger on one of his men then you're a gonner! I love that bit in 'Replacements' I think, when Moose Heligger get's shot accidentally, Winters and Welsh give him morphine but can't remember how much, and Roe goes insane! "Well you oughta know! You are grown men! You oughta!" or something along those lines. Yeah, you tell 'em Roe! Don't let them pull rank on you!

Hmm, on the icon making front, I'm not sure. I think it's different because I use photoshop. Maybe it's to do with those magical strange creatures called 'pixels'? I haven't really fathomed them yet. Good luck with it though!

Oh, and the 'Pissing Needles' pants are on the verge of being green-lighted. I may not have the courage to do it until I'm at university though. lol.

[hiyacynth]

Sigh... Doc Roe, I love you so much.

You've also managed to capture one of my favorite Webster moments. Shot all to hell, and he's upset to have blurted cliches.

Go Pissing Needles pants! I myself have decided that to accomodate all the hot men I love, I will now be writing names/slogans on all NEW underwear purchased. Some incentive to get rid of some of the desperation underwear that should have been thrown out years ago.

I see I've said too much... Again.

[cunien]

Yeah - I love that Webster moment! A true writer if ever I saw one! He also looks, strangely, about a million times more beautiful in that scene than in any other in the entire series. I think it's something to do with the lighting and the the saturation levels and stuff they fiddled about with, because his eyes just stand out incrediby!

No, you can never say to much when it's me you're talking too - because you know I'd say the same and more without realising I was over the line of decency! Yes, I too have a whole draw full of underwear that should never see the light of day, let alone be worn. Well, it's only me that ever sees them, sad as that sounds. lol.

See? There's the line, and I've gone beyond. I'm so far away, the line is a dot to me.

Lol. There's us, and .... ----> .... -----> there's the line.
