.un: Layout credits go to phailboat; header lyrics from Battle For The Sun by Placebo.

.deux: I feel very bad about not commenting a whole lot lately (or hardly at all), but I barely know how to hold myself together these days, so there's that. I promise to try and be a lot better about it in the very near future. In the meantime, feel free to defriend at your leisure.

.trois: My t-shirt reads 'Mr. Pudding', so each time I look in the mirror I have to think of Dean and laugh. Oh Dean, I miss you muchly, you silly awesome boy.

.quatre: I'm hungry, and nothing but mashed potatoes will do. Time to do some food hunting.

.cinq: I don't really have the time, but I can't stop thinking about Five Things Dean & Cas Can't Do In The Future (And Five They Still Can). If I keep it short, maybe I'll get it out of my head today.

# I'm all about vibrant colors these days. Amazingly, my unfinished spn icons folder doesn't reflect that. That's got to change.

# Today, I worked my way through another exam. No idea whether I passed or not; I'm just very relieved that it's over so that I can tackle the last part (oral exams, eeeep).

# I tried my hand at a new header to express my admiration for The Song Remains The Same. Dean finally met the one person I've been waiting for, and I really love how they handled the whole thing. Can't wait for more!

# How wickedly cool are the UK promos for season 5 of Supernatural? I'm thrilled to see Show get so much attention!

# My Bloody Valentine tonight - and then a 6 week hiatus?! Why so cruel, Kripke, why so cruel?

# In other news, I'm completely addicted to Pixel Junk's Eden for the PS3; it's so relaxing and engaging both at the same time. I wish there were a whole lot more games like it.

I feel very loved today. Just saying. ♥

Also, a quick question: does anyone know where I can get watch the second Men Who Stare At Goats trailer in .mov format? My usual source isn't providing, and I want to make a dancing Clooney icon, but Image Ready is being a prissy bitch about the formats it'll accept for imports.

Also also: Joseph Gordon-Levitt has grown up into quite the handsome young man, oh my. I just saw him in the trailer for Uncertainty, which apparently is never ever going to be released in Germany, so yeah.

In conclusion: have a gorgeously happy Halloween, everyone!

Photoshop is being very very good to me today. Like, making icons will never ever be as easy as it is right now. AND I NEED TO STOP OH WOE IS ME. I'm asleep on my feet and I need to get some rest and there's housekeeping stuff that needs doing before my Easter vacation and why is life so awesome and so mean at the same time? WOES A THOUSAND TIMES. (On the basis that the universe is largely unfair I assume that Word would be on equally good terms with me today but for the sake of my sanity I'm not going to put that theory to test.)

Is it just me or is Misha Collins really, really pretty? With his liquid blue eyes and those full lips and THAT PRETTY FACE. Oh Dean and Cas, you're going to kill me with your awesome and your pretty. Which, I totally need a breathtaking, drool-inducing wallpaper of these two. Oh yis.

To-do until Thursday:
> finish moar Cas icons and whip up the icon post of Doom
> turn messy living space into squeaky clean living place (or the closest approximation I can manage)
> finish spring mix for the not-so-long drive home

Not-to-do until Thursday:
> write Cas/Dean fic; that's for the Easter vacation when most of my Photoshop resources will be unavailable (WOES)

Rocking out to Hazy Shade of Winter, the Bangles version. Man, I dig this song so much, it's so effing energetic. *bounces*

Is it weekend yet? No? Crap. I feel like making icons all night long (CASTIEL! DEAN & CASTIEL ZOMG) but alas, there is no time so the tiny pretties will have to wait a few days. Woes!

Same goes for writing, although I feel much more comfortable about waiting with that, since I do need some time to smooth out a few bumps in the storyline. I'm not staying too close to canon anyway so that should simplify things a little.

Star Trek trailer FTW. Can't stop watching it because it's so fucking awesome. Young!Kirk, the car, the ravine, that indomitable will to survive. May's a long way away and I WANT THIS MOVIE NOW OMG and I just know I'm going to slash the living daylights out of Kirk and Sylar!Spock. This movie will grip me and rattle me and keep me in its hold the way The Dark Knight did and I can't wait for that to happen. Hurry up, May! \o/

Also: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Love the new trailer. It looks stunning and gorgeous and oh so deliciously dark. I'll weep for my poor abused Severus, though, oh yes I will.

Also also: Watchmen. There are no words for how much I want this movie. No words at all. AND IT ISN'T EVEN MARCH YET.

I've got plans for a layout revamp and new icons, and with my X-mas vacation coming up there's actually a chance I'll get around to being creative again. Yeehah!

And who knows, with all that free time on my hands, I might actually get around to writing something, too. Like maybe a Supernatural ficlet or two, because Sam and Dean are hot and I'm halfway to hell already so I might as well go down this road. Right now the Dean in my mind is sensuous and clingy and seductive, while Sam's indulgent and protective so that should be fun. Brothers on a hotel bed, heh.

Clearly, I should drink more coffee and eat more sugar. I feel wide awake and utterly exhausted at the same time. Which is nowhere near as unpleasant as it may sound.

Photoshop tempts me with its possibilities, especially now that I want crave new icons. I need a good one of Gordon, oh yes I do. Thing is, if I get started with the icon making I won't be writing at all and I feel like I might actually produce something tonight. Ah, cruel indecision!

I also feel tempted to get me a paid account just so I can have more icon slots. Thank god I'm such a miser.

Holy fuck, I never thought I'd miss PS this much. Serious case of wanting what you can't have, I s'pose. I'm nothing without my stock pics, dammit.

I feel seriously tempted to find myself a site which deals with British slang used in the vicinity of, oh, Manchester round about '73 and a gut feeling tells me I might end up finding one and then things would go ugly in .2 seconds. Not to mention kinky.

Two more days until I'll steer my cheerful self into a Starbucks again and boy if it hasn't been a while. I'll get as high as a kite on sugar and coffeine and no mistake about it. White chocolate mocha, I'm looking at you.

So, I'm thinking about Sam and Gene and how in the world these two stumbled into the happy place at the back of my mind (I was all about Sam and Annie while watching the show, I swear) and these are interesting times indeed.

Sporting a brand spanking new Torchwood header*. As I should be. (There's no matching default icon, however. Woe is me. Woe.) *Lyrics by Jason Molina who owns my soul.

My Blueberry Nights tomorrow. Am ridiculously excited. That could be because I haven't seen anything on the big screen since... November? October? This has to change. Drastically.

I think I dreamed of Ten and Rose last night but it's hard to tell because I wake up a gazillion times each night and have a corresponding number of dream fragments clogging up my memory. However, I re-read some of my fic ideas for those two a few days ago and felt slightly tempted by a few of them. There's one in particular that's delicious and gentle and oh so wrong and it won't go away so maybe I should just give in and write it already. Yeah. (It's been sitting on my drive for over a year and the fact that it's still gripping me could well mean that this idea deserves to be written. I'll definitely try to make the time.)

And Torchwood. I'm very slowly beginning to get the appeal of Jack/Ianto but I'm not sure that my take on them would be terribly original. Like, lots of hot boysex that's been done an estimated million times before? Then again, has there ever been such a thing as too much boysex?

I'm falling madly in love with singer Adele whose voice sounds eerily like that of one Amy Winehouse. Not as much drama attached to Adele, though. If you're interested, go and check out Hometown Glory. It's gorgeous, I'm telling you.

What is it with Firefox and the not closing of a tab with a video playing in it? It's bugging the hell right out of me, that is.

And now it's Sleeper for me, thank you very much. Mhmmm, Jack.
