*fingers crossed* I think my computer is back on its feet again! I managed to not only open Thunderbird last night, but also download a bunch of emails (about 70% spam - gah!) and then send an email! ([livejournal.com profile] thedothatgirl - did you get an email from me last night?) Woo, and indeed, Hoo!

I also managed to open Photoshop long enough to trial out some stuff on it and, while it was running slow, it was running. So *hopefully* I'm back in the land of the working-computer-having again! (which means I can announce the [livejournal.com profile] zeppo_stillness winners tonight - finally!

Other news, I'm not feeling particularly healthy today. I'm on a bit of a health kick at the moment (seeing photographs of me always does that...) and I've been eating kinda properly over this week - so why do I feel like I'm about to throw up at the slightest provocation? And it's not just nausea - there's the whole jaw-tightening thing going on (that's not just me is it - not to get too graphic about it and put you off your breakfast, but with me the difference between 'feeling' sick and 'being' sick is that odd way my jaw tightens. Or am I just being strange again?) I have very little to do at work today so if I keep my head down I should manage to make it through the day. Hopefully.

Should have some writing ready to post this weekend by the way, if not Final Straw (which it should be) it'll be something else that's been eating my brain since last weekend. :)

Oh! Just remembered - part of the thing I was trialling on Photoshop last night was the colouring on the WKA icon that [livejournal.com profile] jgracio asked about a textless version of - I don't have the original file but I can re-create it for you JG - just want to ask, what especially about the icon is it you like - is it the colouring or the cropping? :)

ETA ROFLOL! I was chatting to [livejournal.com profile] monkey_matt there about my rewatching of Angel (starting at City Of...) and I told him a little of what was said about the follow-on films at the convention last weekend (the films will *not* be happening, Amy Acker and J August Richards confirmed that). I'm not going to say any plot lines or anything, but there was talk of who the big bad of the first film would be. Monkey goes back through to his little office and I get this from him by email: Shoot them, shoot them now. Set traps and poison. Don't let the little buggers breed. Apparently everyone knows when a plot bunny bites me now!

So, yay for computerness. :)

I hope you'll feel healthier.

As for the icon, all I want is this iscon without the I'm nominated text. :) Because I might not be. I've seen another icon, one with only "White Knight Awards" as it's text, and that would be fine, except I'm unsure if it's a "Mara only, get your mitts offa my icon" icon. :)

What I like the best about the icon is the coloring. I think it's great! :)

This one? Totally up for grabs! I *almost* had the colour balanced on a remake last night but it wasn't quite there and it was getting annoying so I shut it down (plus, didn't want to strain the computer too much on its first outing!) I'll have another go over the weekend, see what I come up with.

Awesome. :)

Also, was it Gunn the big bad? Cos' that was over on Whedonesque a couple of days ago, with some people going, "No, say it ain't so!", while my own idea is "It's Angel! He's a human on Angel! What the heck did you think was in store for him, fluffy puppies?"

Although the shocked crowd was mostly shocked over the real big bad of the new movies, Fox executives who won't pony up the cash!

That's what Amy said it would be. J was a little "Huh?" when she said it - kinda implying he didn't know that was the way it would be going at all but he seemed to get a kick out of the idea. They went on talking and J said he would like to have seen Gunn turned into a vampire and then kill himself - that was not part of the film, that's just what J would have liked to have seen. Would have been cool to see that I think!

Email was indeed received and thank you for the song :)

Perhaps your body is complaining because you are trying to be healthy?? Hope the nausea passes (can you get pregnant by hugging convention guests closely? - bit too soon isn't it??)
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2006 02:02 am (UTC)
Yay! It got through! And you're welcome - I'll be expecting that vid soon though... *g*

And y'know you just made me snort with laughter there?
[identity profile] thedothatgirl.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2006 02:31 am (UTC)
Hehehe but there was multiple hugging going on so, DNA testing /paternity suits etc etc

Messy business.

No vid until I'm back from hols but I may start mentally planning. Anyhow when we gonna see a vid from you?? (mwahahaha)

[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2006 02:51 am (UTC)
Think of the fun we'd have getting the DNA samples though... *g*

Vid - depending on how my laptop likes Premiere Pro - hopefully within the next seven days. *gulp*
[identity profile] thedothatgirl.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2006 04:25 am (UTC)
7 days huh? I'll be away but I will definitely check it out on my return.

[identity profile] melinacarniss.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2006 05:32 am (UTC)
I have everything so tightly planned with it that hopefully it should come together quickly once I actually get started on the final product.

*gulp again*

(by the way, this is me, I'm just using another computer which is logged into my community checker journal... sorry!)

So, I'm guessing some of those pictures won't be exactly work safe? :)
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2006 07:20 am (UTC)
*snorfle*

Tasteful pictures, every one...
[identity profile] jgracio.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2006 07:52 am (UTC)
I can see it now, Victor going, "No way this was the last Angel convention in GB, I mean, I must have an excuse to come here, the women sure are friendly! Even if a few of them have weird hair..." :)

You feeling better?
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2006 08:10 am (UTC)
Heh!

I actually am feeling a little better, managed to eat something at lunch and it seems to have settled my stomach a little - so that's definitely a good thing!

(and you know something? I'm thinking now that I need a Connor icon. How screwed up is that?!)
[identity profile] jgracio.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2006 08:14 am (UTC)
As long as it isn't a Connor / Cordelia one, it's cool.
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on May 19th, 2006 08:16 am (UTC)
Gah! And suddenly the nausea is back!

*g*

Welcome back
To the *special* hell!

Re: Welcome back
Hehehe! Thanks (I think!)!

I am so sorry that you're ill!
