Below the cut I'm going to put some of my favourite images, from which I do draw inspiration occaisionally. I'd like to think they're not that similar, but as soon as I uploaded them, I realised there most definitely is a common theme. So...

What I would love, is for you to link me to images and/or artwork to expand my horizons. To take me out of my craving for contrast and negative space. Links, pics, reccs, whatever.

Basically I'm trying to say - what is *your* favourite painting/sculpture/artwork? I would love to know.

( go on, act like you're surprised this is the art I like... )

So I posted my artwork for jossverse_bb here. Because of time differences and the like it'll be a little while before the corresponding fic will be posted - keep checking the comm!

There were two artists for this fic and luckily for me sinful_teddy has posted her artwork as well! here it is - beautiful work honey!

Now all we're waiting for is the fic! And man I'm getting into this in such a big way! I'm so signing up for more Big Bangs - and maybe even as an author! (teh Jossverse Big Bang was accepting previously unfinished stories so long as they were completed and man I really want to finish What a Difference a Day Makes... and Crimson Regret... and Final Straw... and pretty much every other story I've ever started and not actually finished! (and hey - crossover-wise? the 'run from the darkness' playlist has been making reappearances on my mp3 player (or was, before Chris's E.P. came out!)

Also - so much love for hopeless_cynic who is focused on uni work right now but still took time out to tolerate me yesterday evening when it became clear my phone wasn't letting me connect to Twitter or to my emails or anything. I really, really, really need to get broadband sorted for the flat!!

I know I've not been commenting lately and I've been more often absent than I am posting, but I'm still kicking around, never fear.

I feel terrible that I'm not reading much fic at the moment (waddis - you have your own folder on my desktop at home in which I put all the chapters of Jack Sparrow that I've still to read - I will be catching up after November, and hey, maybe I'll even start commenting!) - I plan to go back and read the lot. I'm just trying to get through this month without chocolate covered coffee beans and without killing anyone. :)

Despite the broken wrist, I want to photoshop as well - I've signed up for an icon challenge which has awesome prompts, but I'm finding it tough to get the inspiration. It'll come, but it's annoying to keep opening and shutting that damn PS7 programme. Especially since my computer's not as young as it once was and it takes longer and longer to run a programme that's a big a memory hog as that one is. (And if Photoshop takes a long time, don't even get me started on how long it takes Premier Pro to kick in!)

I'm about four or five eps behind on most of my shows and although I do miss them, I'm not so antsy about them as I was this time last year. *shrugs* maybe it's 'cause there's so many other things going on.

And finally, and most randomly, in this random post of randomosity, I just have this to say:

Chris Kane is made of win.

Just 'cause. (I've been listening to Kane again lately and every time it makes me grin.)

I had forgotten just how awesome gUiLLeMoTs are. (Although I have issues with the Wikipedia entry for them calling them English, they're pretty much the definition of multi-national dammit!) I have just spent quite a while listening to the 'through the windowpane' album and again fell in love with the final track (São Paulo) which is just shy of 12 minutes long and is the most insane piece of musical masturbation* you will ever hear!

Anyways, the point of this post is to say I'm still alive, I have now watched 3.01 and will no doubt post up a review of it very soon, I also managed to sleep through most of Saturday. Huh. Can someone enlighten me as to the Australia vs England result? (speaking of, Top Gear starts back tonight - yay! - but it's up against the Scotland vs Argentina game - boo!)

I'm feeling decidedly random today, I have PhotoShop open and was planning on working on some graphics for layouts (my own, the sites and the Sweet Charity stuff) but now I want to write... I think because I had so much fun writing 'calls across a star-lit coast' (posted at fandomsbitca, I'm being too lazy to get the link right now) I want to get back into the game again. I'm still surprised with where that story took me, what started off a straightforward 'get the bad guy' tale turned into a whole big family (re)connection story coloured by the fact that I've been watching Due South in the afternoons all week. I do love it though, and I think I want to write more of Jo. She's intriguing to get to know - far more complex than I had previously thought.

I still can't get my FTP client to connect to the domain. I think there must be a setting on my main PC that's blocking it. I've tried it with and without ZoneAlarm, I've listed the client as an 'allowed' programme on my anti-virus software, I've contacted support and they've reset the domain 'machine'. I can connect through the WebFTP link so it's not a problem with the domain. I want to try it on my laptop but I left the power cord at work and the battery is almost depleted so it's not going to be possible until I get back to work (this week, no matter what, I have to go back this week or my brain will start to melt out of my ears). I did have similar problems with the old domain as well, but I always tended to use the laptop for site maintenance anyway so it was never really an issue. It will be sorted soon though, I promise, and the sites will be back by the middle of the month.

Okay, I'm procrastinating again now so I should probably go do something productive instead. Any ideas as to what that should be?

Since my previous post has gotten indepth in discussion of just how batshit some of fandom can be, I thought I'd make it known that I'm still open for prompts!

So far I have two prompts, so there's another three openings there (and I might be taking more as well)

Supernatural, Dark Angel, BtVS, AtS, DW, (maybe Heroes) - also crossovers of any of these with each other.

Gimme a character, pairing or team-up (like a pairing but without the sex) and a colour, lyric, place, quote, situation - anything.

Like I said, first five (now three) will definitely be done. Anything than that is always possible...

(Oh! And voting is open at spn_provenance - there's some awesome John wallpapers there, go, vote!)

And today's post! I have an appointment to speak to a financial advisor at lunch today, so of course I managed to sleep in and pulled on the first clothes I could lay my hands on. So I'm going to go talk to this guy about how I need to restructure my debts and I'm wearing washed out jeans, boots and a navy hoodie. Yeah... that makes a great impression really! I'm also absolutely knackered, have really dark rings under my eyes and since I'm now brunette again (dyed it yesterday) they're all the more obvious. This guy is going to take one look at me and say "yeah right..." and show me the door. I would!

You guys rock by the way - thank you so much for coming through so quickly for me on Saturday! (Sis is online, but it's dial up and on the slowest computer in the world, so I got to check about an hour after I made the phone post - thank you all again!)

I feel like I want to write again today but am kinda drawing a blank on what to do. I have the 'Terminal Cindy' idea that frogfarm gave me in my head, and the Alec & Ben* idea that x5vale inspired on Friday, plus I have the fic_variations prompts for August to do, but... none of it's really inspiring me today. Too many other things on my mind I guess!

Anyways... I should go do some actual work or... maybe I could catch up on the ol' flist whilst I'm online? *g*

* that's Alec and Ben, not Alec/Ben, because that would just hurt my brain...

... of the Dean/Wall OTP but I want to make them *now* (or at least tonight when I get ahold of Photoshop again, because if I make them in PhotoEditor or Paint they'll be crapper than usual...) which means I kinda want to get my sources sorted immediately.

So... What's your favourite Dean/Wall moments? (you don't have to provide the images, just the episodes will do!)

(and acrazywench - I wasn't kidding, every single one of those points on that email you sent will become a text icon. *nods*)

looking for prompts. I'm still working on the prompts I already have (the Willow/Xander and SPN ones) but I have a germ of something in my head and I need to work it out.

So I would really, really, really appreciate some Original Cindy-centric prompts (Dark Angel).

colours, lyrics, quotes, situations, anything.

Thank you muchly!

LJ? Stop sucking and gimme my comment notifications - 'kay?

I am bored. Incredibly, exceptionally, bored. Work sucks and it feels like a Saturday - which makes the fact that work sucks all the worse...

I need entertainment dammit!!

(and I also need a couple of prompts for Alec still because I apparently need two prompts per drabble.)

Good grief I hope I'm PMSing and not just being a bitch for no reason. People are annoying me a lot today. And it's only 9.30.

One of the girls who started work in the library on the same day as me is leaving today. She's going off to work in a local library closer to her and I really hope she does well there. I know she will, she's Trina, of course she'll do well. I'll miss her. She's having a night out tonight and I don't know if I can go, I have a doctor's appointment ovre lunchtime today and I don't really feel like coming back in to work after it. Yes, I know that's a lame excuse, but it's been a bad day so far and I can't really see it getting better.

I have weak ankles (skiing accident when I was 14 - the first time I ever strapped on a pair of skis... typical) and go over on them all the time. It doesn't tend to hurt, but sometimes it does. It did this morning on the way out to the car. And then as I was shutting the passenger door after I'd put my bags in I slammed the door against my knee. It's still sore.

Every single person seems to be talking *really* loudly today and it's pissing me off a lot.

So yeah... I'm not a fun person to be around today so I'll sit in my little corner of the office and write drabbles (still taking time-specific prompts for Willow/Xander, Alec (X5-494) and any SPN characters - fire away).
