Two more icons and a book report

Feb 11, 2004 19:28

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... )

Heee! I actually had some dork from the EZBoard matchmaker service (I checked "friends only," dammit!) persist in asking me how I got my skin so purple. Like, in real life.

Yeah, no--I totally don't look that good. I didn't even know it was Frances Farmer until I did a little research into the original image because I wanted to make more graphics, but... yeah. Totally not me. I wouldn't plaster my face all over a movie site anyway. I bet you're not the only person who thought that, though. ;)

1. I am a friend of princessm516, and a fellow Fametracker (you're from FT, no?)

2. Ohmigawd, I love that Frances Farmer icon and must have it. We crazy Seattle girls need to stick together.

Yay! Take, take! I'm actually going to take my Digest logo icons (which are of Frances) and see if I can't do something with them here. And when the email comment-alert rolled in, my first thought was, "Hey, is that rexmanning on FT?" So yeah. I haven't been there in a while, though... stupid grad school.

Re: rexmanning February 12 2004, 00:28:51 UTC

Oh, actually I'm "Page" on FT, which has nothing to do with anything, but I was planning on changing my nom de Fametracker to my LJ name if they ever update the software and blah blah blah.

I haven't been too into the 'track lately either, it's getting awfully snipey, no?

Re: cleolinda February 12 2004, 00:35:00 UTC

Actually, it was really snipey about... (counting)... four months ago when I was last there? It wasn't a conscious decision on my part (I mostly just got busy), but people were getting sort of strident and starting up race/religion/weight/ad hominem wank whenever possible, it seemed. Maybe it was an influx of new people, I don't know. There were several trolls, too. And then the LOTR thread yelled at me for posting a "spoiler," and I was like, Okay! (It was that whole "Saruman has been cut from ROTK" bit.) So I left for a little while so to let the Evil Spoiler Girl thing cool off. And now I'm so far behind in reading posts that I don't know if I'll ever be able to catch up...

Ohmigod.

Kate.

*dies*

Um, taking that one. Possibly obviously.

I'm named after her, dude. Spelled right and everything.

*marries you*

You'll be interested in "The Aviator" sometime around Christmas, then. Cate Blanchett's playing Katharine Hepburn--not the greatest likeness, but she rocks, so we'll see.

katesti June 4 2004, 08:07:26 UTC

Oh, SO interested. With Jude Law as Errol Flynn? Dear god, yes please.
