Apollymi ::||:: Dark Passion Play

Behold: there is a new layout.
I don't know. I just get tired of green very quickly and very easily. I also kinda missed having calender function on my main page. I didn't want to give up my OT3 though, so it's the same characters, but new colors. And a new journal style too at that! I've moved from Quite Lickable to Bloggish. I'm still working on a new default icon.

My next major project will be a Gundam Wing/Sailormoon mood theme. I'm thinking it will be 100x55 with a black border around the image, and it would mostly be Duo, Heero, and Usagi. Big shock, I know. Any help on this would be most appreciated.

This is an office of sickies. So many of us are ill. That's worlds of not good. B is probably the sickest of us all. She sounds like she's coughing up a lung on a regular basis.

I'm going to be out of town this weekend, visiting the grandparents. That will be nice.

The upside of my father coming to town to have lunch with me is, I get most of a bag of M&Ms. Dear gods, I had forgotten how good they could be. There may not be any left by the time I get off work. Oh well.

Obaabaa came with Oyaji for lunch today. For once, she made me feel good about myself, instead of generally worse. Today she commented that I looked like I had lost a lot of weight. Now granted, I haven't, but still it was nice to hear. Sometimes -- very rarely, but sometimes, nonetheless -- she's good for that.

And now, back to work on that default icon.

Scratch the request for a mood theme: I found one for Faramir

...and that might be a bad thing, because while Faramir is my favorite character in the entire series (including The Hobbit), the most shit happens to him. But on days when I just feel dumped on, those are the days when I feel like Faramir. I empathize with him, perhaps in much the same way Tolkien did.

So, I mentioned I got a "no" from my first choice. That's fine. I can live with that. I sent off today to another early choice. I'm still waiting to hear from quite a few of my early submissions. That's also quite fine.

I know it's not April yet, much less July, but I've started scribbling on "Arcana" a bit. It's almost definite that it will be e-published, but I'm still sparing no effort on it. Granted, I just started today, so I'm not very far.

But I actually thought, "Hey, why not share a tiny bit?" And it is a tiny bit, but here we go:

"My life is a bad horror movie. No, it's not just bad. It's, like, Z-grade. It's--"

"Designed to piss the rest of us off?" I couldn't quite manage to hold back. "All you've done since you got here has been whine, Stacy."

She pouted, her lower lip trembling just slightly. Oh, tell me she wasn't going to start crying now. That would just cap off a wonderful few days.

Thoughts?

Anyone know where I can pick up a Faramir mood theme or more Faramir icons?
