Current Mood: confused

(no subject)

I've decided: I'm not going to the movies this weekend. I actually have Monday off so I might go and see Push then. Or maybe leave it till next week. (What's out next week?)

So no chai latte with Mel (sorry, hon), but instead I can get down and concentrate on my two Big Bang fics. I've also got a backlog of downloaded TV to watch :-)

Also, according to LJ I can have 197 icons. When did that happen? Last time I checked it was 140-something. I usually make my own and only use icons by other people when I really, really like them but I'm in need of icons for all the new shows I'm getting into. True Blood. Terminator. Dollhouse. Hell, I don't even have a Merlin icon. What's wrong with me?

Part of it is I stopped routinely downloading screencaps...which I guess means I need to go in search of some. I know exactly what scene I want to icon for a TSCC icon: the ballet thing at the end of S1. The others I'm gonna need to think about.

Have you seen Vicky Christina Barcelona? Went to see it on Wednesday and really enjoyed it.

No I haven't...the trailers look good, but I'm rather wary of Woody Allen films: they tend to be all promise and no fulfilment. I'm going to wait for the DVD on that one.

I posted Dollhouse icons (and Leverage) at

pixeestyx the other day. Not sure if I have any you like, but you can use them as bases, too, if you want. (well, any except the one I'm posting with)

Perm accounts go to 195 icons, then you start getting your loyalty pics, too. That's how many I have and I'm practically full up. I'm SO addicted to them, it's terrible.

I'll take a look, thanks!

You're welcome! As I said, may not be anything you want, but I also allow customizing (unlike some people *g*).

(unlike some people *g*).

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I mostly make my own. I've seen some beautiful icons around fandom but I so often find myself wondering why on earth the maker ruined it with...whatever. Usually colour.

I can't see your icons from work - my work firewall blocks most image servers - but once I get home I'll take a look.

Heh, I hear you there. So many makers have a tendency to overload these potentially gorgeous icons with layers and layers of textures and 9 times out of 10, I tweak the colors back to original or a bit better and call it good. If I DO post something with textures, brushes, etc, then I usually post the textless as well. ;-)

No worries-- I'm heading to Coventry tomorrow, trains willing. But I'm free monday, if you want to meet up. :)

For Redemption? I'm glad you decided to go if that's what it is. You need the break, gal :-)

Monday sounds good. I don't know exactly when I'll be around but I guess four o'clock-ish - after the film. I'll let you know.

Have a great weekend!

I think it was the look of horror on my supervisor's face when I told him about dreaming about logistics that tipped the scales. :P I need to make sure that the trains will get me there and back at do-able times, though. I'm heading to the station soon to do that.

cool. It's reading week so I've got no classes at all. :)

Have a great weekend!

you too!

I wondered what happened, too. Mine leapt about fifty and I have no clue as to why - but I am not complaining - I adore icons!

I know what you mean. When I got this LJ I couldn't imagine needing more than 20. Now...well, I don't need 200 but I'd be hard pushed to get it below 50 if I had to.
