journal tinkering (original) (raw)

My last set of icons felt personally appropriate and generally useful, so that new-icon-urge did not appear for awhile. However, it has been creeping up on me, and yesterday it appeared in full force. Thus, I have a new, exciting icon set! I'm very fond of my new default icon, the wizard Howl from the Diana Wynne Jones book & Miyazake movie Howl's Moving Castle; 'reviews' for both

are

may be forthcoming. I'm also very excited about several icons from the FFVII movie Advent Children. Still obsessed with silver-haired boys. And, of course, I have an appropriate icon for my dancing posts and an icon of my adored duo of doctors. (I think it's likely I'll re-watch both seasons of House, M.D. over the summer. I should buy the DVDs, since it's clear I like the show well enough to support it financially.) This is the first time in awhile -- perhaps since the beginning? -- that I haven't had a Severus Snape icon, but don't worry, I'm still obsessed with him...as you can tell from the picture on my info page; I'm just settling into a long wait for HP7.

I've also rewritten my bio, now more pithy and less chatty. (My whole writing style needs to be less chatty, as this parenthetical illustrates.) The bio contains an excellent movie quote, since everyone knows I like to sprinkle those everywhere in my life. I've also re-titled my journal, and I've quite satisfactorily revised my interest list. I think it's a good snapshot of both long-held and new interests, and I like the unique interests I have -- not just because they're unique but because they're odd and fun interests.

Hmm, perhaps now I should do some work while I'm, y'know, at work.

Ah, right. Well then, you may not have any particular preconceptions that prevent you from enjoying the awesomeness of the movie. ;) Be prepared to watch it a couple times to understand the plot -- or to abbreviate the process, read some online summary. I vaguely knew Sephiroth and Cloud Strife were FFVII characters, from general geek knowledge as well, but Emery and I were fascinated but mystified the first time we saw it. 'Who's that? What is he talking about? Why's he doing that? Wasn't he dead?' That kinda stuff, heh. The plot exposition is...a little vague.
