FIVE MORE DAYS TO CHRISTMAS
I realize I haven't talked about finals yet. Finals weren't great.
Professor Allen's The Cantebury Tales final was not too bad. I did not think I wrote spectacular essays, but they were acceptable, I think. Since taking Professor Allen's final on Tuesday, I studied full-throttle for Biochemistry. I had Biochemistry and

Have you seen Apocalypto yet? I'm still excited about this movie, even though I saw it more than a week ago.
I have seen Passion of Christ. Well, I liked 3 moments in it, which were visually and mystically engaging. The rest was, IMHO, pure physiology of suffering. And also, IMHO, when suffering scenes become boring, they lose all effect.
Hmm, so you say the suffering gets boring? I haven't seen it yet, but I don't know if I could ever get "bored" with suffering. Not excited, but more like engaged in a viscerally-attached way, i.e. cringing, squirming, but grotesquely fascinated way.
Babel! I want to see this movie. I have not seen much in the way of previews, but I've been trying to get to see it. It's out of many theatres already. I'm quite sad. I think mostly because I'm curious as to how the different stories relate to each other.

More is nto always better. I'm not sure I expressed myself clear enough with this example. Anyway, the best way is to see it yourself and pass the judgement, as I always stress ( ... )

Your icons as always are so gorgeous! 19 first stood out to me the most because it is so clear and sharp but not overly done :) I also love the coloring on 43. I think I'm saving 40, and will credit when used! I think what stands out the most to me in your icons is that you have the greatest use of textures!
(53 is totally adorable also)

I love what you've done with this batch of XFiles icons: in particualr, the 33-40, the 49 and the 51. The fade, the scratches and your use of color make them special :D

I was surprised by how many different icons people were attracted to. Usually, everyone likes the same one or two icons, but in this batch, there was quite a variety of favorites.
