First - what d'you think of 'ships' in fandom? Tell me here!

Second - I have a request for any music-sharing peeps out there. Do any of you have copies of Deacon Blue's "Beneath the Hill" you'd be willing to share? It's on the Ooo Las Vegas B Sides album and was used in the BBC film "Dreaming" (I think the film was written by William McIllvaney?) I have it on vinyl (yes, I still have vinyl records which I play a lot!) and casette but not on mp3 or wma format. (I'm also looking for James Joyce Soles - also by Deacon Blue, this one's on Fellow Hoodlums - but I may have a lead on that one.) **hugs smileawhile** Thank you honey!

Is anyone else getting sick of the current trend of over-sharpening features? You've probably all seen the kind of thing I mean - icons of faces where the eyes and lips are really bright? Unnaturally so? I do use the sharpening tool myself a fair bit, it's very useful, but there's times when less is most definitely more. I'm actually using an icon now where I deliberately over-used the sharpen tool - you might or might not see that his eyes are more prominant than they'd normally be - that's a result of heavy-handedness with the sharpen tool (deliberately, to emphasise the 'watching' thing) have to say, if I was making that icon from scratch now the colouring would be a little different I'm in a lot of graphics communities, and it just seems like everyone who's getting their hands on a graphics programme is doing this now and it's getting irritating. To me anyway. *shrug*
