1. Spread the word -- March 31 is Icon Makers Appreciation Day.
lavellebelle proposed this today, and I think it's a great idea.
As she put it:
I think sometimes the unsung heroes of Live Journal are the icon makers. These are people who spend hours working on little 100x100 pieces of art that they then put out, at no charge, for everyone else to use. . . .
So I propose a day to concentrate on these people, thank them, whatever you feel like doing.
I propose March 31 be Icon Makers Appreciation Day.
Hopefully on that day, maybe we can go through all the icon communities and leave feedback, even if we're not taking any icons.
Maybe we can post in our journals about the icons we use, who made them, why you picked them, what you think, etc.
Maybe even us Icon Makers can make icons for the other Icon Makers.
I don't know - this is all up to you. But I know a ton of people who make beautiful icons that should be appreciated more than they already are. Not to mention those who take out extra time to run those icon communities or icon contest communities.
Actually, as I'm cutting and pasting this, I'm realizing that Wednesday is my busy day. and March 31 falls on a Wednesday this year. So my praise may be posted a day early or a day late. Still, it's the thought that counts, right?
2. This morning I saw, for the first time, the episode of Roseanne guest-starring Genie Francis and Anthony Geary as Luke and Laura. =) I'd been wanting to see it for months, if not years, so I was really... jazzed, as a girl I once knew used to say. :) Anyway, it's being shown again at 11 tonight on Nick, too.
