strange times indeed

This icon is dedicated to _xis... :D

And some random commentary:

My site's back up. I found out it was down due to a hardware failure. (Yay!) Now the question remains, can I SFTP into it? Sigh.

You know, I like the strength I'm able to get out of the coffee through the French press, but I really miss being able to throw water into the coffee maker, grind the beans & throw them into the filter, flipping the switch on and walking away until I hear the gurgle of it being finished. The French press is so labour-intensive, especially pre-coffee... :D

Feeling a bit silly tonight, was struck a few nights ago with the concept of Bingley and Darcy as Wayne and Garth and set myself to hysterical peals of laughter.

Did this one too:

This scene has been stuck in my head since we watched Girl with a Pearl Earring the other night. Sorry, Windows folks, if it's too dark. I did punch up some of the areas but I didn't want to lose the shadow of the crease of her forehead. ( Scene description, possible movie spoiler. ) Gotta love that symbolism.

Because I just couldn't believe I hadn't seen these song lyrics appear on a "Lost" icon yet, is all.

ETA: It was a Charlie icon with the lyric "Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh".

GIP. ( Though the other one was MUCH cooler. )

I'm feeling nostalgic for college-era music, tonight.

Having too much fun making icons. Though as a free user, I only get three at a time. :(

The artwork on two of them I wish I could claim credit for. They are by a contemporary Mongolian artist named Buhu. Those two are my favourite of the five shown.

The third is, well, my fangirl side peeking through. One of my favourite pictures ever of Gates McFadden. Since this is publically viewable.. I'll leave it at that. ;)
