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?

[zia-narratora.livejournal.com]

Of course you can! Who do you want?

[magicalcow.livejournal.com]

Not for me, but I totally think you should do Nikki a Jack!icon.

SHIVER NOSTALGIA, YO.

[zia-narratora.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.

[magicalcow.livejournal.com]

NOT HIS BOOTS?

[zia-narratora.livejournal.com]

I CAN DO BOOTS TOO.

[magicalcow.livejournal.com]

I APPROVE OF BOOTS.

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.

[zia-narratora.livejournal.com]

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

[zia-narratora.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."

[zia-narratora.livejournal.com]

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

[zia-narratora.livejournal.com]

PS NOW HE OFFICIALLY LOOKS LIKE A BLOND STEPHEN COLBERT.

[rhikat.livejournal.com]

One of Toby would be awesome!

[zia-narratora.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!

[zia-narratora.livejournal.com]

With Photoshop!

[zia-narratora.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.
