My update, for I am random.
- Saw King Arthur. My nonspoilery review: I am now in love with Clive Owen. I'm used to seeing Arthur as a big wussyboy, but Clive had the honorable stoic hero mojo going. Guinevere got seriously shortchanged in the development department, but it's okay because from what I've seen, Keira's a mediocre actress at best, and I was fine with her just bringing the badass pretty. Also, the film was genuinely funny and at times just a twinge overwrought, but overall a very enjoyable popcorn flick, as long as you don't believe for a minute it's a 100% historically accurate. It's not, but it's entertainment, and you get what you pay for. I thought the religious commentary was fair and considerably balanced, and the fact that Arthur is religious makes him more multi-faceted, not so much a stock character. And the characterizations were good, walking the fine line between human and too heroic. You care about the characters and their relationships, which is always what sucks me into a movie. I am also a geek, so every time a sword was shown, I tried to read it. I think it's interesting that Keira's sword in the promo shots actually reads "Arthur Once and Futute King" in Norse runes, despite the fact that she isn't Saxon. And Arthur's sword had the Celtic tree alphabet, The Ogham, on it. I don't decipher that fluently, yet, so I'll need a screencap to see what it says. Also, hahaha with the slash. Even Michael saw it. And yes, Ioan is of the pretty. Possibly prettier than Keira, but not prettier than Clive. What can I say? I have a handsome man hand fetish.
- My ears hurt, yo.
- Heather and I watched the first three episodes of Farscape. I dunno if I'm gonna get sucked in yet or not, but she said it starts kind of slow. Star Wars aside, I just don't do aliens well, but I'm trying to persevere in the name of the Great Angsty Unrivalled Love that Heather assures me will follow. So I'm watching more tomorrow.
- Sasha seems to be getting a mild case of fin rot-- it's barely noticible, but I give my guys a good once-over every night. His tail is tinged with dark brown, and it's not his normal turquoise shading. I changed his water immediately and added aquarium salt and Melafix to stave off further infection, then promptly ordered Jungle Fungus Eliminator to stop the rot completely before it damages his gorgeous fins.
- The blonde is growing on me. I find that if I don't brush my hair straight and instead let it go wild and wavy like it is naturally, it looks really cool. So yeah. Watch out, I want to try pink so badly now.
- I have to do laundry so badly tomorrow. I'm just sayin'.

isabel0329, I have the first half of The Mists of Avalon capped, coming in at about 425 images. Is there any way to completely change a batch of images from .bmp to .jpg all at once?
