I know that it's your soul but could you bottle it up?

Yes, I saw Avatar.. You all know what's coming. Here is the inevitable "look at mee! I'm a smurf!" picture... (click to make it big):


I maybe got a bit lazy with the stripes and the little glowing dots but it was late & I wanted to finish it before going to bed..

Here's the start/finish comparison, just in case you were worried that my nose DOES look like that now lol.


Hope you're all well & not sick of all this graphicy stuff. I just love doing it too much :)

I knew there had to be a reason I wrote all that coursework and essays and stuff.

I realise now that the reason I needed to know all that rubbish to get my History GCSE was so that, three years on, I could understand this comic. Also the, er, sequel.

L'orange de chocolat est tres bonne :)

So lately I've started a new project for myself. I'm making desktop wallpapers based on characters from films/tv shows, without using their faces, their clothes, any of the things they say, or any other really obvious way of showing who it is.

It's quite difficult, but I've managed three so far. Take a look!

Hermione Granger (Harry Potter):


Morgana (BBC Merlin):


Mrs Lovett (Sweeney Todd):


The last one is my favourite, and also the first one I made. It was made before I'd decided on the rules for myself though so it does feature a little bit of Bellatrix which I would change if I could be bothered but I can't.

I suppose that next I should tackle a male character... but that will be extra difficult for me. I haven't decided who to make next yet, so if you have any ideas drop them by me. I thought about doing Merlin or Arthur but ended up staring at the screen for a while before giving up & making Morgana haha.

Oh by the way the writing on Morgana's wallie is 'dierne dryicge', which (hopefully) means something like 'secret sorceress' in Old English - which is what the writing team use when they write spells in the show. I think that's just about obscure enough to get past my own rules lol.

Anyway I was thinking maybe Captain Jack Sparrow next? Ooorrr Robin Hood?

EDIT:

Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean):

(Second attempt)

Because reading the actual thing will make you want to stab yourself.

badoobap!

I just read the BAFTA Nominations list, and I've seen three of the films. That's right, just three.

Coraline
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
The Gruffalo

I think that this maybe says something about the films I spend my time watching.

I've now seen all thirteen released episodes of Glee. I think that maybe says something too.

(Edit 24/01/10) NEWSFLASH: I've seen Coco Before Chanel now too. It's quite good.

Maybe it's bedtime.

So I just thought I saw this ad...


Then realised that it actually says this:

Pretty disappointed :(

So I woke up this morning and logged on to Twitter:

Suddenly random people I've never met are calling me cute! That's what Twitter is about, right? Haha :P Weeell it brightened up my morning!

Also, they're talking about this list (check me out, I'm number 20!)

I know I go on about this film a lot...

"Uhh I have a name.. and it's a boy's name too!"

(Also, I think it must have been at least a month or two since I last watched Anastasia)

I answered as honestly as I could..

I spend so much time in the flats of the elderly people I work with that I'm starting to get to know the daytime tv schedule.

Just discovered Heir Hunters, which sounds a bit like 'Who Do You Think You Are?' so I might watch that once I've had a little sleep.

I am in fact turning into an old lady. I thought about how nice it would be to have a cat yesterday.

*sigh*

I should kick you right on down the stairs, set upon you with two bloody hands.

When I'm walking in the snow I like to look down at the footprints of previous walkers and silently mock those who were silly enough not to wear sensible shoes.

My favourite part is where you get to the skid marks and the large misshapen snow angel that often follows.

In all seriousness though, take care of yourselves guys. The ice out there is evil and will kill you given the opportunity.

A little bit of Natalie Cole, anyone?

(Being Human is back SOON)

Ever noticed how adverts for those rain poncho things never actually feature, well, rain?



WHY ARE THEY WEARING THOSE THINGS IF IT ISN'T RAINING? Argh.

PASHMINAS. Ah!

I always knew there was something suspicious about pashminas.

But it needs to snow more here tomorrow else I shall be upset.

Media Studies

My A-Level Media Studies lessons were mental. Well they seemed to be to me, especially at first.

They sat us in front of films about drugs and violence, and usually things that were 18 certificate. Then they got us to write many many essays about them, I suppose so that we could see why they were so amazing. I was sixteen, and very much unused to films of this kind. I went to a very middle class school and I was still watching Disney films on youtube.

But that's not really why they were so difficult for me to grasp.

We'd walk in, and the teacher would put on a film saying something like "This is one of the best films you are likely to see in your life." We'd all get hopeful and then it would start. Get your popcorn ready, it's 10 minutes long (also there is swearing, this is one of those films after all):



And then it would end and they'd say "Wasn't that just the most brilliant thing you've ever seen in your life??"

Now this one in particular came up on my suggested videos section on youtube and watching it REALLY reminded me of my A Levels, partly because we did actually watch it, but also because you just get to the end and think "...what?!"

It was ages before I really understood what made my Media teachers obsess over these weird films. Now I'm slowly starting to understand I suppose, but I'd still rather watch Mulan any day.

Maybe that's why I got a D haha :P
