Happy You-You!
Happy You-You, Mum!
Sorry it’s a day late – events last night precluded me from finishing this on time.

Why? … Why not?
I’ve found a new toy at colourlovers that allows one to pixelate a photo and choose colors that way. I went a little mad with it this morning and began the recreation of the Sarah! Jane! Smith! Palette Project, using the pixelation tool instead of having to half-ass guess at colors. And since I’ve got half of it completed, I’m trying to find a way to redo the pages so they’re a bit nicer looking. And once I get that figured out, I’ll redo the other Palette Projects I’ve got linked in the sidebar. Last night saw me beginning to futz with layouts, but it hasn’t gotten much further? farther? (what is the correct usage of those two words, BTW?) than simply removing table borders.
Actually, the …Reloaded palettes I posted last night are what set me off in this new direction. But that’s for another evening. I’ve been up since three this morning and just got home not too long ago. I need some dinner, some Bluth action, and then bed. I haven’t decided if what woke me up at that ungodly hour was the cramps or the hot flash/fever/delayed niacin reaction, but whatever it was, I was up for the day. Let’s hope there’s not a repeat of that tomorrow morning.

Last week’s Telstar film fest
- Girl with a Pearl Earring
This was unbelievably boring; I watched it through to the end, but when it was over, I was all, “Well, that’s ninety odd minutes I’ve lost forever.” It’s still unclear to me why I chose to watch this…oh, no. Wait a minute. It’s not that unclear. It is Scarlett Johansson, after all. But for crying out loud, she looks much better without the flippin’ wimple. Does that mean it’s her hair that makes her beautiful? Not necessarily, but if you ask me, it’s a huuuuuuuuuuuge part of why she’s so lovely. What’s even clearer is this, though: I do not like the painting on which this movie is based. I never have liked the painting and I likely never will. It’s just one of those things.
Moving on…
- Running with Scissors
Honestly? I read the book on which this was based and enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than this movie. It was at least funny. The best parts of this movie? In order?
1. That sweet, sweet, very Laura-Linney*-esque smile on Joseph Cross. Seriously.
2. The soundtrack, at least the songs I actually recognized.
3. The scene when Joseph Cross and Evan Rachel Wood were practicing their dance moves.
Unfortunately, those three did not make up for the two hours I lost on this one.
And finally…
- Frank Miller’s Sin City
This is the only movie last weekend I didn’t finish. I think my time with it clocked out at about an hour and a quarter and I was done. Even that was probably longer than I should have stuck around. It wasn’t the violence, it wasn’t the black and white with splashes of color (though I found it distracting and a bit annoying after a while). It certainly wasn’t the women. I just didn’t care for it. And although I didn’t finish it, it’s definitely not a movie I would search out to see the ending.
Next up is Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, because I thought it was the second in the series because I didn’t know there were two films prior to it and Gregoryno6 suggested the first two and also because it was the only MM available at the library. I probably won’t get to this until later this week, since I really really really need to finish season three of Arrested Development. Now. Just to punish myself because there’s no more after season three.
It’s not Doctor Who, after all.
*I’m sure I’ve said this before, but Laura Linney is one of my favorite actresses ever. Even on her worst day (I’m not so sure she has many of those, if any at all), she’s better than most on their best day. Hell, I even rewatched The Exorcism of Emily Rose because of her.

The hair zenith has been achieved
Not once, but twice…
Yes, it is the Shawbun™ to which I refer. It’s not as neat and tidy as The Real Thing, but I don’t have a hairdresser, nor do I have two hours to spare on such things. Also, I don’t have a rat, though I’ve learned hair chopsticks do the trick just as well, as well as giving me the added bonus of what look like antenna coming out of my head.
Makes it easier to contact my home planet.
I’ll try to get a picture taken of this momentous occasion today.
