ye olde poll

2008-04-10T03:43:22Z

So there was a great response to my first post of my decidedly Jeffersonian John Adams icon post (for which I thank you), and I wanted to post this poll before my next post to see who you guys wanted to see iconed. Other than Thomas Jefferson, of course, who after the clothes in the last episode, how can I not icon the hell out of him? Oh, I do so enjoy a man who can pull off a satin lilac frock coat and matching breeches.

graphic meme

2008-01-11T04:06:26Z

While I'm clogging up your flist with meaningless memes, I thought I'd ask what kind of icons you guys want to see. Or, indeed, if you want other stuff besides icons. Friends only banners, headers, wallpapers? What fandoms, etc. Leave a comment and let me know.

This is the CD Cover Meme, which I stole from

dhisana.

Follow these easy steps:
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result in your own journal.

2. To recognize the quotations
3. (I lost the damn link to the picture!)

new year's meme

2008-01-01T09:48:15Z

I'll have icons...eventually. I'm watching Stigmata right now and am feeling the need to make massive amounts of Gabriel Byrne icons. But for now, a meme. I would have normally posted this in

londonbum, but given it's kind of a fandom meme I thought it'd be best to post it here.

a. Post a list of 10 TV shows you love (current or canceled)
b. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each show.
c. When guessed bold the line and write a little bit about why you like that character, or your favorite quote. (include a picture if you want!)

1. West Wing
2. The X-Files
While I adore both Mulder and Skinner as characters, Scully is my undeniable favorite. Perhaps her pernicious streak of skepticism in the face of Mulder's blind acceptance, I don't know. I just love her.
3. Wire in the Blood
4. House, M.D.
Oh House, how do I love thee, let me count the ways. Besides the fact that Hugh Laurie plays him, I think he's a magnificent bastard (that's a clue as to who my favorite Newsradio character is) of a character. Probably why I also love Doc Martin and Snape.
5. Newsradio
6. M*A*S*H
I think this one was a dead giveaway. First and foremost, Fr. Mulcahy's the most complex character on M*A*S*H. We only get rare glimpses of how he deals with the carnage and I think his reactions are the most compelling, given his vocation. I only wish we saw more of him outside of simply commenting in a kind of third person way on whatever situation is at hand. And he's adorable.
7. Law & Order: CI
8. Law & Order: SVU
John Munch is my favorite character. Yet another in a long line of snarky and sarcastic yet strangely lovable characters in my life. What's not to love?
9. Coupling
10. Law & Order

By the way, I'm offering a prize of an icon per answer you get right. Is that incentive enough for you to play?

I'm sorry for the astounding lack of icons thus far this month. I was away in Rome for a few days last week, so I now have Vatican pictures that I took myself to make icons from! Unfortunately, there was a conspicuous lack of priests roaming the streets (what's up with that?), so it's all mostly architecture and such.
