More Things I Made for Comms...

[thisbluespirit]

Before I forget again...

Orac/Nyssa drabble for b7love_250.

24 icons from The West Wing & Press Gang (9 text, 15 images) for the current fan_flashworks challenge 'breakfast'.

And, other than that, I don't know. Tired, but okay? Hmm, talking of one of my comms reminds me. I most post the discussion post on dw_straybunnies that I've had ready for a month or so. *notes to do later* (Lunch etc first.)

Random question is random - have you seen The Buccaneers?

[thisbluespirit]

:lol: That is a random question, but, yes I have! Not since it was on TV the first time round, though.

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Sorry. I've been watching the series this weekend and just wondered if you'd seen it... I'm feeling a bit flaily about it.

[thisbluespirit]

:-) That's fine. It's not as if I don't flail madly at you about fairly random things. I seem to remember it being pretty good. It doesn't happen to have Michael Kitchen in it, by any chance, does it? ;-p

Actually, I am watching King Lear at the moment (it stayed at £1 on Amazon, so I nabbed it). It's v good, I agree completely! Also still listening to MC in between - and that nasty Jonas wants to kill Tom Pinch/David Collings! *gasp*

:-D

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

LOL But of course it does! (He and Cherie Lunghi almost become a couple. She asks him to face her before he begins his negotations - he turns to her and kisses her. SOME negotiating style THAT IS! Rawr!)

Yes, King Lear is VERY good. Amazing...

I shall start MC this week, I think - and just resign myself to listening to it in stages.

(*Is in dire need of more MK icons. Why can't I make good icons?!*)

[thisbluespirit]

LOL ...And now he definitely officially loses in the 'no romantic scenes' thing vs David Collings. ;-p

Well, as to MC, the BBC and Dickens both intended it to be heard in installments, so why not?

Icons are difficult. Sometimes they work out and sometimes they all go wrong. You made some nice ones before, though! But you could send me some screencaps again, if you like & I'll have a go. I seem to be able to make them again - earlier in the year I just stopped.

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but he still has an insufficiency of them! GIVE HIM MORE PEOPLE!

Ahem!

(Sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night - the students in the shared house just down the road had their end of the year all night party - and played VERY loud music from 7pm to 6.30 AM (this morning!) I've got to the silly stage of my reaction to my exhaustion. Once I hit the sullen stage, I shall go to bed!)

Because I do enjoy listening to the whole lot in one swell foop!

Thank you! I warn you, you may find yourself bombarded though!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw. *pets* I hope you got a little more sleep last night, and that today is better? incoherent waffling is always fine round here, anyway. I rarely do anything else.

Well, you'd probably have to stop for the horrible US accents anyway. ;-p

I wish you luck in finding more romantic Michael Kitchen roles, :Lol:

Well, best not to bombard me, please!! Just fire a few of your fave screencaps at me, and I'll see what I can do.

:-)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

A bit more - but not masses as the rain was (still is!) incessant and I woke twice in the night. Urgh!

LOL I don't tend to mind dodgy US accents that much - Big Finish have more or less inured me to them!

Thanks!

Okay - I'm just sorting some out now...

[thisbluespirit]

Oh, dear!

Anyway, I got your email, thanks, so I've downloaded the pics and will have a play with them later on in the week. (And, don't worry, I know by now that you want your icons as plain as possible! Just the pretty people...)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

The rain has finally stopped! (It rained for about 30 hours non-stop in the end! o_O)

Yes, I'm such a dullard. I get very irritated with icons which are fancied up so much that you can barely make out who's in the pic!

And thank you! I tried not to go too overboard with them - it wasn't easy picking just one or two per show/film!

[thisbluespirit]

Good! We had quite a bit, but I think the worst of it passed us by, for a change!

Aw, no. You're not a dullard! Everybody prefers different things. And, of course, sometimes people are making icons for challenges and 20in20s, so it's like doing little works of art, and they'll experiment more with those & that's why some sets are like that. I like a bit of the pretty as well, if I can - a bit of text, or colour, or texture or a nice border - but i like to be able to see the person/character I wanted in the icon, too. (I think sallymn is my fave icon maker, because she gets the person clear, and then has such a way with pretty textures, brushes and borders - and amusing text - that I'm just all lost in admiration. I swear part of the reason I've been watching Primeval lately, is just so I can snag more of her pretty/amusing icons!)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

We've had sunshine today! I damn near died of shock!!!

Hmm, well that sounds okay, I guess - decoration that doesn't hide the person's face. I saw some Freema icons recently that really irritated me by obscuring her face with weird lighting and what-not - what a waste, when she's so beautiful!

[thisbluespirit]

Freema is indeed gorgeous! :-)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Exactly!
