In the interest of keeping my journal up to date:

Yesterday, I went to my mother's. We had sushi and watched Private Practice and Dirty Sexy Money together.

Private Practice was okay. It had promise, but it seemed kinda uneven and I would rather watch House or Gray's if I'm going to watch doctor shows.

Dirty Sexy Money? WAS AWESOME. It reminded me of like a completely updated version of My Man Godfrey in terms of the zany over-the-top super-rich characters, and it was a crackup a second. And the only reason we even watched it is because Billy Baldwin was one of my parents' neighbors when they lived upstate and my mom talked to him a few times about the possibility of his kids being able to go to her school and my mom really liked him and his wife. So we were like, oh, cool, he has a new show, we ought to watch it. And it was much better than I expected it would be from the ads or the title. I'm going to have to watch it again next week.

I am going to miss Ugly Betty tonight because I am going to see Obama speak! I finally got my fastpass for the rally so yay! He starts speaking at 7. The gates open at 5. So I am trying to decide when to run down there.

The day before yesterday, quizzicalsphinx killed my RPG character's adorable fake adopted child. This is a tragic tragic time for all of us. I am mostly upset because we will never get to see what it would have been like if he had married his thirteen-years-older fake-mommy/fiancee and had serious oedipal issues.

Today, I made a present for liret that is four years in the making. While I have made many, many icons for many, many people, somehow I had never remade her old, crappy James icon. This clearly means I am an insufficient friend.

Here is old, crappy James:


Here is new, hot James:


Isn't it kinda awesome when you can put two things next to each other and compare and be like, yup, I improved!?

Does anyone else want a character icon? I like making them and would be happy to make a few more. I will do original characters or characters from books, but I don't think I can manage to do realistic likenesses of real people or fake people portrayed by actors unless you don't really want them to look like the actor! Sound good? Yes? Let me know if you want one. This is because coldwriter offered free fic and berryberryrose offered free art, and I took both of them up on it, so I feel like I should do my part and pitch in! I don't know how many I have time to do, so I'm not going to put a limit on it-- I'm just going to do first-come, first-served.

Ooh, can I have an icon please?

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Of course you can! Who do you want?

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

I know! There are people who never got their icons when I started on the iconning spree.

I COULD MAKE YOU AN ICON OF JACK'S BUTT.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

I CAN DO BOOTS TOO.

[liret.livejournal.com]

Also, new James does not look so much like my long lost twin brother!

[evilprodigy.livejournal.com]

I should totally be taking advantage of this, shouldn't I.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Oh man! YOU'RE RIGHT. Old!James totally had your mouth and nose and kinda face shape.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Who do you want? If it's someone I don't know, just describe.

[evilprodigy.livejournal.com]

... do any of us even know specifically what Peter looked like well enough to draw him? Aside from kind of "sandy hair" and "angles."

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

NONE OF US DO. I THINK I TRIED TO DRAW HIM ONCE. I CAN TRY AGAIN.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

PS NOW HE OFFICIALLY LOOKS LIKE A BLOND STEPHEN COLBERT.

[rhikat.livejournal.com]

One of Toby would be awesome!

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Burning hair y/n?

[evilprodigy.livejournal.com]

HOW THE HELL DO YOU HAVE A BLOND STEPHEN COLBERT.

[liret.livejournal.com]

SEPERATED AT BIRTH?!?



You decide!

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

With Photoshop!

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Hahaha it is totally the same nose. But I don't know! I am wondering if you don't kinda look like the new one, too.

[rhikat.livejournal.com]

Y. So very Y.

[bunnymcfoo.livejournal.com]

*grin* she does, actually.

[dancedarkly.livejournal.com]

I would love to ask for an icon, but I have no idea who it would be of if I did. This is a fun idea, though! :) And your art is great.

[kikithepirate.livejournal.com]

Agreed, I really liked Dirty Sexy Money.

[twowishesleft.livejournal.com]

AS DO I.

[twowishesleft.livejournal.com]

I never got a charrie icon :(

I'd be up for anything that you'd like to do, as long as it's either Jack or Tucker because they are my babies. Or if you have a better idea for someone else, by all means!

[sorcerorsock.livejournal.com]

Oh me please! And whichever character of mine you think you could do!

[twowishesleft.livejournal.com]

Eh. The boys are my favorite.

[murk3y.livejournal.com]

You have definitely improved! The new icon looks awesome :)
If you ever feel the need, you can make an icon of any of my shiver characters. ;)

[coldwriter.livejournal.com]

Ah, you don't need to make me anything. Your fic will probably be the last one I write (only cause I've never written Moody before and it'll be challenging and I haven't come up with an idea yet). I'll finish it before Christmas though (or I'll try to).

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

I would rather if you picked? Just because I don't know who you're more attached to these days!

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Pick someone!

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

It's cool! It's more that I was tempted to do something nice for people because of your offer-- a kind of pay it forward, if you will! Thanks!

[sorcerorsock.livejournal.com]

Probably Joel then please!

[murk3y.livejournal.com]

Ivy or Millie!
Whichever is easier for you to do.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Sure! Can you do a brief description?

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

I think I will do Millie only because...eee little kids.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Hahaha I meant Ivy. Brain freeze.

[murk3y.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you! :)

[sorcerorsock.livejournal.com]

Okay, pretty square face, dark eye, eyepatch over the left(?) dark and quite short hair with thick eyebrows, maybe a bit stubbly. Weatherbeaten skin, rather large and ungainly nose. Erm, that's all that I can think of!

[kiwi-magic.livejournal.com]

Aw, if I'm not waaaay too late, may I please have a character icon, too? I miss Shiver! Oh gosh, Gilly, Jack, Mala, Christopher or Conrad. HOW TO DECIDE???

I too liked Dirty Sexy Money.

[mariye.livejournal.com]

All the papers were giving it bad reviews, but when I saw it had the guy from Six Feet Under and Donald Sutherland, I had to watch it.

Totally awesome show. XD

Re: I too liked Dirty Sexy Money.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

I never saw Six Feet Under. But I really like Donald Sutherland too! I thought it was hilarious; I'm glad someone else liked it.

Re: I too liked Dirty Sexy Money.

[mariye.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling Donald Sutherland or the wife had the guy's lawyer father murdered. Who do you think had him killed?

Re: I too liked Dirty Sexy Money.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

I don't think it was Donald Sutherland's character only because that's the obvious answer. I would guess it's not Billy Baldwin's character because he's the biggest name on the show and if they want to continue through more than one season, they probably need to keep him on. The wife might make sense, but I'm more likely it's one of the younger kids, for a reason that hasn't come out yet, like, if he got in the way of something they were trying to do. Probably not the Paris Hilton daughter. I'm thinking Jeremy, maybe.

Re: I too liked Dirty Sexy Money.

[mariye.livejournal.com]

I almost thought that, but Jeremy seems kinda... drunk and stupid.

It could be the girl who always loved the guy (I know, I should know names, but I didn't pay as much attention as I should have) in order to get him back into the family.

Re: I too liked Dirty Sexy Money.

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

There's only been one ep! I don't remember names either!

I think that one was Linda? I think it could be her, too. I think Jeremy only because he's kind of the least likely seeming from the first ep, but he would have reasons to, where the Paris girl wouldn't as far as we know.

Re: I too liked Dirty Sexy Money.

[mariye.livejournal.com]

I think its Linda... I just figured since she's obsessive over him, and knows how much her father liked him and his father, it'd be a way to get him back.

Yeah... the Paris girl seems pretty harmless. I seriously doubt she did it.

[evilprodigy.livejournal.com]

You look very River Tam-ish in that photo. That is spooky, as I am supposed to look like River also, and we look nothing alike.
