I love the icon meme btw, and if you haven't done it yet you should.

( Let's talk about my icons. )

What? I know these two are not traditionally picspam material, but that's because you haven't seen these gorgeous photo shoots by Michael Muller (probably best known for that classic Jensen shoot), a photographer who clearly appreciates and understands what incredible looking men they both are.

( Picspam! )


I also made a few icons. Teasers:



( Icons! )

I keep going back and looking at this entry from scans_daily, because, well, you know. It makes me horny:

Batman is a Pimp!

Exactly.

So I thought I'd better make myself some icons, but now I can't decide which one I want to use. Also, any excuse for a poll.



THE WHICH ICON IS BEST POLL.

( Icons and poll back here. )

I made a few non-fannish icons, all up for grabs.




( Weird pretties this way... )

I've been sick for 10 days now. TEN DAYS. If I suddenly disappear from livejournal please assume that I died.

I was talking to Rachel yesterday about whether Smallville will get a seventh season or not and I'm now interested to find out how the fandom feels about this, because frankly, I'm really apprehensive about it.

For starters, they've already fucked Clark and Lex's story to the point of no return and another year of this shit? It's going to be embarrassing and pointless and I'm pretty sure they've run out of things to do. What will Lana's role be in a 7th season? If Lex is already totally evil (which I'm sure he will be by the end of S6) where is there left for him to go? Okay, so Clark still has to become Superman, but he's not the only character in the show (unfortunately). I feel like a really sucky SV fan for suggesting this but honestly, I want it over before it gets even worse.

The only reason I would like it to continue is because I will miss Tom so much, and unless he fires his retarded management team and gives up on the idea of having a successful film career, I worry about his future after Smallville. (He should stick with television for starters, and he should do something a bit more adult and comedic; a role that requires him to have sex and be funny in every episode would be nice.) But I'm not sure another season of SV will do him any favours anyway. I have faith that Mike will be fine after SV, btw, but Tommy? I want him to be successful SO MUCH because I've never adored an actor quite like I adore him; I know he's not the most talented actor on the planet, but he's got more charm in his little finger than many "great" actors have in their entire bodies. Also, he's beautiful and sexy.

What do you guys think? It looks relatively likely that SV will get picked up for one more season - what the hell are they going to do? Are you dreading it as much as I am? Looking forward to it? Talk to me!

I've made a bunch of silly icons, which you are welcome to help yourself to. Kittens and randomness!



( Icons by Katie! )

Finally, I've written some Petrellicest porn which is in desperate need of a harsh beta. Any takers?

I'm not sure if I mentioned this yet but I'm completely infatuiated with Friday Night Lights despite the fact that it's about American Football. I didn't even consider not downloading the 4th episode, and I'm just amazed by how much I can't stop thinking about it. God I hope they don't cancel it. I love every single character in it and Coach and his wife? OTP OMG.

I made some icons anyway, on the off chance that anyone wants FNL icons. Do you think I should cross post these somewhere? If so, where?

Happy birthday serenography ! I am pleased and proud to call you a friend and if I could give you Tom Welling for your birthday I totally would. *smothers you with love*

I made some crappy icons with quotes I like on them. Help yourself! Even better, this can be a GAME. Tell me where the quotes come from and I will give you a prize. (The prize will be the honour of winning this game.) No cheating by looking at the file names!

( Come on in. )  

I've decided to take on a long term fannish project where I make tons and tons of Clex icons, just because there can never be too many Clex icons. Right? And anyway, I made one last night that actually makes me laugh out loud every time I look at it.



LOOK HOW FAST LEX IS RUNNING. HAHAHA. Sigh.

Making icons is more addictive than smack. Also, apart from writing (which I like to put off as much as possible) it's the only thing I can do on my home computer at the moment.

It SUCKS. I can't download Prison Break. I can't keep up with you lot because wow I had no idea how much you talked until I had to attempt to read my entire flist whilst at work. I can't read fic. I can't watch porn. I can't fritter away hours of precious time being an internet geek and then going, oh, I didn't actually DO anything tonight how weird. What is good about it is that I can watch all of the Six Feet Under episodes that were leant to me and holy crap that's a good show. I watched the first season when it came out years ago but none since and I'd forgotten how good it can be. I LOVE DAVID SO MUCH. Nate is cool too but DAVID IS SO FUNNY AND AWESOME AND HORNY. He makes me very happy.

Here is a hodgepodge of icons, made from various photos and screencaps (by oxoniensis and dekolette) I had saved at home , which you can admire, use, despise, WHATEVER.

 

Don't you love it when you type tom welling into google and you find pics you've never seen before? I DO.

I found a bunch of outtakes on tomwelling.com, and they're old but they're GORGEOUS. I also made icons!

Enjoy...

Yeah hi. I made icons for porn_friday and I posted them here. The reason I'm pimping this post is because I want lots of icon makers to get involved and to make porny icons for me everyone, because there is a SHORTAGE of porny icons and that is very serious and worrying.

Just imagine it! You can spend hours on the web looking at porn and it's for a good cause: ART.

I am sleepy today and a little miserable about yesterday, although I like valium a lot and even though it didn't kick in till afterwards, last night was a happy one and valium goes very nicely with wine and good company. Nina and her friend Darren and I spent almost the entire night talking about sex, which is, like, my favourite thing ever to talk about. The valium has now worn off and I am not as happy but I am tired.

I think I'm going to do a poll today, because I am curious Kate.

Poll #783064
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 82

Do you consider yourself:

It’s so hot! I am very inappropriately dressed for work, but it is not my fault, it is the SUN’S fault.

Was the season finale of PB on last night? The torrent isn’t up on torrentspy yet and no one on my flist has mentioned it. I know I have some PB fans on my flist, so what gives?

Re iconing: I just did a quick bit of research and it seems that the software I have (PhotoImpact) is a slightly less powerful but still very very good alternative to Photoshop, which is great news because it means I don’t have to spend fifty quid on new software. The problem is that everyone on LJ uses other programmes (EVERYONE! Shutup I’ve checked!) so there are NO PhotoImpact icon tutorials (None! Anywhere!), which means I’m going to have to learn all by myself.

There are things I don’t get. What are brushes and layers? Icon lingo confuses and frightens me because there’s so much to learn and I’m not a child anymore. Learning new things is HARD.

See, I wonder if I should just splash out on Photoshop because then I would have all the help I need without ever having to stray away from LJ (which I hate doing) but then I think maybe I should just stick to writing porn.

Two days into making icons and I’m already stressed out. I can’t even think about sex at the moment! That's CRAZY. 

Please talk to me about porn (or icons).

Okay I'm still learning but here are the icons I just made. I'm semi happy with them but don't have enough skillz to fix the problems. If you want any, help yourself. Or if you want me to make you an icon let me know. It will, of course, have to be extremely simple and from an already great photo, if you want it to look nice. Also, I haven't mastered putting text on icons yet.

Anyway!

Morning all.

It's pissing down with rain in London so instead of walking to work I caught the tube and read the Metro. For the record, the Metro is the free daily newspaper that every commuter reads and it's a trashy, shitty, badly written paper that I despise. Still, I read it when I have to. This caught my eye (from the article about the TV Baftas, bold is mine):

"Political satire The Thick Of It took best sitcom and comedy performance, won by star Langham who is on bail for alleged porn offences."

Um. What now? 

I'm sorry, but what the freaking heck is a "porn offence"?

Is that like when a writer uses the term "weeping cock"?

I HAVE NO CLUE. Please, if you know the answer, tell me. I have to find out. Or failing that, amusing guesses will completely make my day.
