Via [info]sol_se: another Sherlock Holmes trailer, with new footage. Spoilers abound, of course--and look! It's all ready to steal the title of Slashiest Movie of 2009 from Start Trek: Reboot. And then it just might run away with it and never ever give it back.

Ever.

Steve/Tony icons I made a while ago. I couldn't help myself, they sort of have been together for forty years now, you know. You have to respect that. *nods* (The icons are under cut 'cause not particularly safe for work--nothing really graphic, but better safe etc).

Day 06 (Oops, I missed two whole days--bad me!)

"He would have liked to embroider some horrible disaster befalling the village of Wall. Indeed he got so far as to pick out some violent-coloured red and orange silks for the purpose, but in the end he was obliged to give it up, his skills in embroidery being in no way equal to the task."
(Susanna Clarke, The Duke of Wellington Misplaces His Horse - from 'The Ladies of Grace Adieu' and Other Stories)


I just love Mrs Clarke's writing. ♥

So, day 05. Since I already did the songvids, I'm going for something different:

Her Morning Elegance/Oren Lavie, an original music vid, truly brilliant and creative--you have to see it, it's enchanting. :)

Also, this list of make-up tutorials and this other one might come in handy if you--like me--are fascinated by the colourful, fun world of make-up but haven't the first clue as to how to apply it to your own face. (The girl has my same skin/eye colour, so I find her tutorials pretty useful. She also sounds very sweet and nice. The guy is terribly skilled and clear in his explanations, too... and he sounds like a total doll. <3 )

Day 03, I'm going with a book that's also a fanfic: My Dearest Holmes by Rohase Piercy. It's a gorgeously written novel in Sir Conan Doyle's style, with a perfect Watson voice, dealing with a new case and unveiling what really happened when Holmes faked his death. It's slash, AND it could totally be canon.

Also: why isn't this movie out yet? :P

01. Call doctor for appointment.

02. Remember to pick up meds.

03. Take pictures of baby birds in nest on stairs.

04. Bake cupcakes.
04a. Remember to take pictures if cupcakes end up looking nice.

05. Type up thingie.
05a. Send off thingie.

06. Watch some movie(s) in English so my pronunciation/hearing comprehension will get a little bettah. (Was thinking Emma and/or Sense and Sensibility, and/or Silent Hill.)

#03 is difficult, 'cause they're (naturally) three shy lil' buggers; #06 is 'cause I have a job interview tomorrow and do so need to sound like I know how to interact with polite society non-Italian speakers, OMG. Also polite society, but let us take one step at a time.

I just baked a cake after years, and my very first chocolate cake ever, at that. I believe it's called a 'Deep Dark Chocolate Truffle Cake'... which of course tells you lots about me (recipe found here).

If it comes out right, pictures and squeeing will follow. :)

If not, we shall never speak of this again. :(

I just realised that, between one thing and the other, it's been nearly twenty days since I've done any shopping at all. Like, not even a book! A DVD! A T-shirt! A packet of chips! That's got to be a personal record, and I vow to remedy as soon as I can.

And for my next trick, I shall find a job which has nice hours, nice co-workers, is well paid and doesn't require me to spend three hours each day stuck on public transport feeling like I'm going to scream every minute of it.

I'm a bit out of practice, but since I'm here, I might as well post these 12 icons I made, all of them Riptide icons, and all Nick/Cody at that, 'cause first loves etc. etc. (it's been almost 25 years since I first sort-of shipped those two, omg. Twenty. Five. Years. I'm boggling. O_o )

No, seriously: you are.

I was halfway through a longish entry about how I sort of made my peace with how bad I am at keeping up with LJ, and while this doesn't excuse the constant disappearing, I basically have had my lurking mode stuck on 'on' for ages now--and then realised, well, you sort of know all that already, because I keep posting that post over and over, whenever I dust off this old journal.

So, what I really really mean is: you guys? Are the best.

Seriously.
