Really, I just wanted to use an icon.
Having made something like twenty plus icons in the past few days, I kind of need an excuse to use some of them - so, voila, a journal post.
What's really odd is that I used to churn out LJ posts at an insane rate, but now it's hard to even get one out a week. It's not that life isn't exciting or things aren't happening, just that it all seems to mundane when I put it out into the ether - like it isn't as exciting as I thought it was, it doesn't rank up there on important things that need to be posted.
My parents got back Saturday. They brought back this enormous plate thing with chili peppers painted on and hung it up in the kitchen. It's hideous and doesn't match, plus it doesn't look centered - it's centered over the doorway, but since the distance between the cupboards on either side isn't equal it appears as though it's too far to the left - and it's huuuuuge. I'll tell everyone to avert their eyes from the east wall of the kitchen whenever they're over...
Inevitably I've become obsessed with Sherlock. Actually, not inevitably - it came as a surprise, because I avoided it at first because I thought Benedict Cumberbatch looked like an alien. I mean, he still looks strange...but...my opinion of whether strange is bad or not has obviously changed...due to someone's influence, no doubt...
The problem now is avoiding watching Sherlock, or looking for new pictures, or making icons, or interviews, in order to get school stuff done. One month to go until I have to write half a dozen essays in two weeks, unless I start working on them now. Which would be much easier if season one wasn't sitting on my desk........
SPEAKING OF SCHOOL: Research Methods the class is easy. Research Methods the lab, not so much. Strange how it's flipped from last semester, when the lab was the easiest thing ever. This time, though, it's all partner work and involves collecting data during class, so I can't go early to finish the computer part of it before class. Annoying!
Also annoying: I bought a bag from ThinkGeek (that I love) but it's huge. As in it's basically a blanket for my thighs. As in Obi fits inside one of the three large pouches with room to spare. But I need buttons for it, so if anyone knows where to find cute/snarky/geeky buttons I would love to buy some!
