Coming along, slowly but...slowly.
I'm in the process of transferring things to the new comp. Dad finally put it online last night, and I just discovered that this version of MS Paint will save things in web-friendly format. It's better than nothing, I guess. I made a new one using a pic I stole from the Ralph for Lupin campaign (which I totally support - more later), and called it simply "Lupin". I'll use him for my depressing entries, as he looks particularly sad in that shot. I also uploaded a Snape pic, which I'm not sure what I'll use for. And of course, there's the happy little Freudian one at the top that I snagged from...somewhere. I'll dig it up and give credit. But anyways...no more blankness! Yay!
Moving on...Ralph for Lupin. I originally thought that someone out there wanted us all to throw up in the professor's name. It turns out I was wrong. No, it's for a British actor, Ralph Fiennes, who looks like he'd make an awesome Lupin. I've never seen any of his work, but he looks the part so...why not? Not that it will make one bit of difference or anything, but hell, isn't that what the internet is for? To give people a false sense of hope? So yeah, if you so desire, head on over and sign up. One note though...they need to get rid of the orange colored eyes. Is that what his eyes are supposed to look like? It reminds me of Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Cheesy. I always pictured really pale, icy blue eyes, like I see in so many of those Native American wolf paintings. You know what I'm talking about...the plates you can buy out of the Sunday paper for 3 installments of $29.99. Typical scenario is a wolf, a deer, a mountain, and an indian prince/ss, or any combination of the above, all hand-painted on individually numbered plates. Order now, this is a Limited Edition collector's item! Yeah. That.
I suppose I should say something about Christmas before I haul my ass off to bed. It was...good. It loses its charm when you know more or less everything that you're getting, and the people you buy for know what they're getting in return. I picked out the DVD player with Mom. And I've been using the CD player as a table for the last month. Left it in the box and everything...it was just in the way, so I set stuff on it. ^_^ Which reminds me...now I need to go buy a table. Damn.
Happy Christmas/Yule, everyone!
