This will be rather random, just because. Every time an email arrives in my inbox, I get totally panicked. Reason is, I sent an email application to a screendesign job I really really want. So wish me luck. Pleeeeaaaaaaase.

My whole sorta almost jobless situation is making me not only cranky, but is stiffling my creativity. Which I hate. I should really post when I have my mind on the topic instead of doing it like this.

I've been meaning to rec a few SGA fics I liked. I did rec 2 the other day, but here's some more I read recently and really liked a lot.

Recs:
Linguistics by [livejournal.com profile] stillane
Which wins with this line alone: When John wants something hidden, it’s never there to begin with. And seriously, the whole thing is like this poetic and hinting.

Bell Curve or Ladies Night at the Boom boom Room by [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock
Not just because the title rocks, but because it just is such a fun ride. And it is huge-ass long.

The One And Only Way Rodney Would Actually Let John by [livejournal.com profile] raqs
It's sort of pwp and extremely real. And hilarious. At leat I thought so.

Cartography by Touch by [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock This is a wonderful story. About John and rape. I loved it... I just like how she slowly shows you what's realyl going on. But ti's Pru...so it can't really be anythign less than stellar. Please keep in mind that all those recs are slash... and might even be NC-17. And now to some meaningless thoughts about TV-shows. Atlantis!!! I miss you!! I will ahve to recycle you soon.

Veronica Mars- Wallance anf the White Castle )
Smallville Vengeance )
Lost- the charlie ep )

I've also watched ALL of Battlestar Galactica this weekend. I had a huge headache afterwards, but it was so worth it! *grins*

I loooove Starbuck!! And Apollo/Starbuck. And Helo, and Sharon, and the chief and I won't go on.. but whoootooo.... continuety rocks. the only thing missing is that fun of stargate atlantis. It is more an angst than a fun show. Which is cool...it would suck if they were similar. I love scifi. Not healthy.

My mum is constantly gushing about Farscape. My mum and [livejournal.com profile] shruuf. You are bad people. I mean..you want me to get stuff done, right?

also remember to participate in [livejournal.com profile] svmadelyn's Valentine Secret.

Also, this icon I'm using is all the crative energy I could muster. In that case..it is a waricon.. war against non-creativity or something.

Also, happy belated birthday to [livejournal.com profile] violetsmiles, [livejournal.com profile] shattered and [livejournal.com profile] serafina20. I'm sorry I missed it. I hope you all had great birthdays. Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] sarahjane12!!! I hope you have an awesome day.

Well, I've been asked for a tutorial for the Pink Lana aliens and icons. and well, I'm way too lazy ight now too write a full-blown tutorial on this. And considering I was just playing around, it would be damn hard to retrace my steps.

So I'm putting the photoshop file up for download. Might not work under Version 7.0. I don't know... the adjustmentlayers might not appear.
Anyways, the zip includes 2 files which show how different things can be with the same materials. Same layyers you can blend in to see changes... or blend out.

I hope you will have fun with this.



download zip



And comment if you download.
