today I slept in, swept the flat, drank some cranberry Ocean Spray & took my loneliness for a walk by the sea. the breeze, the space, the quiet, and Leonard Cohen song collection do one much, much good. I tried to write, too, but it did not work as planned. still might, though.
got home at about 4 p.m., finally ate something, and switched back to the unreal life, thank goodness for torrents '-)

so, what happens when you put together me, Photoshop and seemingly endless comic archives? nothing good, apparently.

for one )

a handful of starkisms )

there. normal functioning? never to be resumed.

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick three of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.

4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

aye. [info]kleenexwoman asked about these:

aw, this one. the image is from the famous Desperado poster [and I adore both the film and the picture]. the text is a bad pun inspired by a viewing of Once Upon a Time in Mexico in an Israeli movie theatre: it was, naturally, subtitled, and in Hebrew, bless it, the short form of the word "God" used in expressions like "thank God" and Spanish article el look & sound exactly the same. thus the icon happened. it has an ironic/linguistic/facepalmy feel about it & is used accordingly [if ever].

cropped from a photo stealthily taken by me at the Gala Dinner reception at Discworld Convention in the good year 2004. it is Stephen Briggs's hand holding a glass of champagne, and I still feel like a silly stalker for taking that picture, gods know why. Stephen is not even in focus there, really, some other utterly unknown & rightfully surprised gentleman is, but this hand with a glass shineth like a star, and it had. to. be. done. this be [the] icon for good memories & good occasions, cheers, congratulations and all things shiny & awesome '-)

this one was made when my... fondness for Jules Verne's Captain Nemo met a Sarah Brightman song met the movie Peter Pan. the countdown belongs to the chorus of Captain Nemo the song, and, well, James Hook is a captain, and the screenshot was made when something Not Good was about to happen to him in a few seconds. the icon is a damn good example of how my mind treats legends & associations. it is the icon of confusion, impending doom, and many things WTF. sort of. likely.

dear phandom,
or the small portion of phandom which I have discovered,
you have style & taste. when you're bitter you cut to the bone, when you're sweet you're most [sugar free!] wholesome. you're quite capable of breaking a heart, mending it, making it skip a bit in wonder, making it simile - and making one laugh so hard as to wash away the muck of a sucky workday.
so, even though I lurk, and in a different time, much love goes to you.

speaking of heartbreakers, HP5 the movie is going to ruin me, isn't it just? *grumble* and I thought Immortal Beloved was bad enough..!
it's about a week more till its release in the Promised Land, so I'm stuck with pictures still... but by no means unmoving #-) like this one here. which leads to
iconses. )

the theme from Pan's Labyrinth is awesome. a simple catchy thing you can hum as you go through a [hard] day, and it remains magical. like echo of the music the worlds are woven from, something that had always been there, like water and blood...
*hums*

somewhere among my messed-up-by-changing-2-apartments papers must be a sketch of Hannibal Lecter standing behing bony bars in the dry leaves of a heart... I wish I could locate it.

as the coffee I drank at dinner kicked in, and as I had nothing better to do, I experimented with iconic animation & a certain movie stills. the apparently not eye-watering [much] 100 x 100 results are here. )

life feels suspended. vacuum, void, nada... could be the subconscious draining effects of waiting, could be chronic [nervous] exhaustion, could be the good old losing at life thingy. meh.
there's a couple of icons to show that this body & brain still stir sometimes. meh. )

Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than 50 icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, what significance it has.
disclaimer: as for icon significance & usage, things are quite a bit unclear. the meaning may - and will - vary.
iconses!! )
