So, I'm really excited about this icon post cos there are some recent experiments in there I made last and this weekend that I'm really proud of. Then, there are icons I made ages and ages ago, a long time, really. This is ALL the rest I have been sitting on, except for the requests. Some icons are are from request sets.. Signe and Kate might recognize them :)

And as you can see, I'm a bit addicted to SGA. And white space.

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.

I'm watching loads of shows and my own laziness keeps me from reviewing them...

For instance, I've yet to comment on the last Veronica Mars and the last Smallville. Wait... I'm not sure I've reviewed the Smallville S5 Pilot even.....

So I'm gonna do a little joint post...

Smallville Mortal & Arrival )

Veronica Mars 2x02 )

And here is a little Veronica Mars collage. I played with a texture I just made... I dunno.... it's not spectecular..but I had fun.



Happy belated birthday [livejournal.com profile] astrea9562 and [livejournal.com profile] evilsushi. I hope you had a great time!!


Also, [livejournal.com profile] elsmoka hooked me on House M.D. Bad girl... I love it. Seriously..my three favorite shows are these.

I also watch Prison Break, Gilmore Girls, Lost, Housewives, Arrested Developement cracks me up big time and I love Kitchen Confidental and Supernatural. The OC is extremely bland this season and I stopped watching Alias.

I finally got around to making art for my current obsession and favorite TV show, Veronica Mars. That is, art that I'm happy with. It is, like all other stuff I make, experimenting :)

There are two wallpapers a few collages and icons that refelct that state of that work. So you might be able to see the process. The endresult is the wallpaper. It's 1024x768px.

Images are from http://something-happens.com/

I talked to [livejournal.com profile] shruuf earlier about what draws peaple to a TV show. she told me she doesn't like Nip/Tuck because she cannot identify with a character, or doesn't have a favorite character and there doesn't seem to be an overseasonal or serieswide plotdevice or goal. Like I like Lex in Smallville. I liked the Manticore hunts the mutant plots in Dark Angel, and the mystery in the second season. Or even like I loooved Tom Paris in Voyager and Lex Luthor in Smallville.

Usually, I need a favorite character to totally get hooked on a show. It makes me passionate about it, it makes me want to read fanfic, get involved in fandom by that and participate. And yes, it also lets me turn a blind eye on the mistakes, the wormhole-wide plotholes, and continuety errors more, because there is my man and he's just walking and THERE.

I must admit, that lately I'm a bit disappointed in smallville. I don't like hwo the producers and writers are handling the show and the mythology. There has been lots of talk about the relationship between Ley and clark the last few days and I urge you to read this. It was linked by [livejournal.com profile] mecurtin in the yahoo Clark/Lex community and basically sums up my misgivings.

But still, I'm watching Smallville for Lex and the Clex. And to have fun. But there are large parts involving a formerly pink princess where are often push the forward button, cos I'm bored. The Smallville cast is inconsistent. KK is just bad and boring. she has moments when she shines but for me, they are too few, too little. I want to believe that she cannot identify with Lana, but I think KK cannot choose a project to save or life. She was spectecularly bad in earthsea. She sucked the life out of poor shawn Ashmore too. Basically, I think Smallville isn't what it should have been.

The thing is, I love plot. When I read fanfic, I don#t like pwp. I need plot. There is nothing more gratifying then a thikly, well-planned plot. without holes. There was this shining moment in season 3, well, all of season three up to asylum. It was a story-arc. An arc that fed bits an pieces to the viewer each episode and slowly let us in on the truth. This arc ended with a bang, a bang so beautiful and painful at the same time it was hard to bear.I remember shaking in front of my monitor and thinking wow!!!! cos Shattered and Asylum, btu Asylum especially, full of plot and wonderful acting. Even Lana didn't piss me expect the time she told Clark he was to blame. this years story-arc involves a) Lana and b) is too inconsistent and I close to have forgotten it again. Well, he whole season overall is very medicore and my favorite character, the one I'm identifying with and mainly watch to show for is basically screentimeless. Not to mention that other factor why I watch the show, the Clex. I mean... two eps with Clex in it?? And I'm supposed to care much?

I totally went of course here.... *giggles*

I'm kinf of passionate about my boys. The moment I saaw the show, that was it. UI had to check out if there was fanfic and my entry in thw world of livejournal came shortly after. Because they were my characters.

Which sort of brings me to Veronica Mars. I do not have a favorite character. Neither do I ship any het or slash pairing. they story in itself it what keeps me on that show. It's deeply intervoven, cleverly thought out, cleverly excecuted and well played by the actors. There isn't a weak link. I don't have a favorite character, cos i like all of them. Just not with the passion I have for Clex and Lex. But it doesn't need that passion. I don't think you'll find me write or read VM fanfic. Bt itS' basically because the show in itself it such a wonderful construct. Because it's an every episode continuing story-arc that just has me so wrapped in it I cannot stop musing otr speculating, just like I think maybe Twin Peaks was back in the day.

And it's not only the main storyline but the little countless details they fit in there in such a wonderful way. Awesome cast, awesome writing, awesome stories. Just wow. Now it just need a Lex. :)
