If Microsoft Word doesn't stop crashing and losing all my work, I'm going to start charging Bill Gates for lost man hours.

More recap icons!

Today's Journal Birthmonth Flashback: Let's be lazy and link to The Happening in Fifteen Minutes from earlier this summer, since it's out on DVD today. I highly recommend that you at least Netflix it or ( Read more... )

Made some more Secret Life of Dolls icons. I'm to the point where I can't really imagine anyone wanting to use them (you're free to, obviously), but I still like making them. They're like tiny little movies! If movies had lots of text and still photographs! Uh. ( Read more... )

So a couple of people asked for Secret Life of Dolls icons, and I thought, well, I don't have a digital camera to take posed pictures with, and my copy of Photoshop hates me and won't let me use 90% of my fonts so I'm mostly stuck with Arial these days, so... would it actually be possible to make anything decent?

I don't know) and apparently she's totally fine, everything checked out. I'm hoping she doesn't just, you know, fall over again, but given that she recovered after about ten ( Read more... )

Guess who finally located a Very Busy Superhero picture? I DID, I DID! I don't think it's a spoiler, so: the icon people requested:

If you have not seen the lolarity that is next week's Entertainment Weekly Twilight cover (plus a sparkleized version by orangeokapi13. Plus another version over at FW. Plus Maybelline icons, and I'm kind of tempted to snag one) from yesterday, I suggest you hie yourself there with a quickness. Truly, it is magnificent, and the best laugh you will have all week ( Read more... )

Two things that came up in the comments of the previous entry:

1. Ellen Page IS Jane Eyre (thanks, elbeonore). "Alison Owen of Ruby Films, who most recently produced 'The Other Boleyn Girl,' is working with BBC Films to develop the new adaptation of Bronte's classic 19th century romance." OH HELL NO.

2. This thread:

Not posting much tonight--my right hand is aching for some reason, the muscles or tendons or something between my thumb and forefinger.
