My life is a series of events over which I am barely maintaining control

Do Something Scary fic update: Back from beta, with many flaws pointed out to me, some of which I can probably solve rather quickly. Maybe. May I just say, people, that you guys are awesome about this whole beta thing? I mean, [livejournal.com profile] abyssinia4077 pointed out all the things I couldn't see that were just not working, and I know the fic will be hundreds of times better for it.

Also, I am fairly sure I won't make the deadline (tomorrow), so I was telling [livejournal.com profile] ultranos_fic that I clearly needed an icon to express my lateness, and so she made the one currently gracing this entry. I'm delighted that she thinks the only thing that would keep me from a deadline is the apocalypse. (She clearly didn't know me during the Pirate ficathon, or Apocalypse_kree.)

Debrief, on the other hand, is coded and more or less ready to roll. Woot!

I have something every night of the week this week. Except Saturday, which I shall devote to writing and/or sleeping.

I also made two new icons myself today, in between creating and utilizing many more subfolders to organize my computer. I really needed something to show my love for Alexandra Cabot from SVU. (Gazer, you know that icon we both liked? It's too big for lj. *facepalm*)

This has nothing to do with your post, sorry, but I didn't know where else to put it. I saw this and had to share with any other SW fans on my flist. You are one, I'm afraid. ;) You may have seen it before. http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/e34ed3fcba/star-wars-retold-by-someone-thats-never-seen-it-from-joenick
(the pseudo H/L banter is hilarious, as is the gold suit part.)

OH MY GOD. THAT WAS SO HILARIOUS. Thank you!

Hee! It is more joy day, after all. (well, with you it is anyway, past midnight here) I gave the link to KR too, thought she'd appreciate it.

She did. We are discussing the various merits of gold suits. :-)

Ooh! You made Alex icons. And they are wonderful!

I am especially fond of the 'not amused' one. Alex is hot when she's not amused.

Thank you! I tend to make icons on a "ZOMG! I need that one and it doesn't exist elsewhere!" basis. Which means I don't improve very quickly. *g* But I have fun with it.

And Alex is just hot, period. *g*

Very true. Although, I must admit, I do not find her nearly as hot when she is not wearing The Glasses of Power and Justice.

Bwa ha ha! Actually, I was discussing that very thing with Stargazer whilst we were searching the web for icons. I mentioned that really, I needed a pic of her in the glasses. *g*
