Postgame Mortem

FINALLY got to see the new 'Veronica Mars' last night. (Even though the basketball game it was pre-empted for on Tuesday was cancelled, they still ran some other show on our CW instead of just running Veronica. Grrrr)

( possible spoilers, nothing massive )

This is Sparta!

So, I was finally able to get my hands on a copy of Frank Miller's '300'. Devoured the whole thing in one night. OMG soooo good. Just beautiful art, fantastic bit of history, and plain fun! Seriously, they should hand this out in World Civ classes to help get teens interested in the ancient history. The gritty reality of it all yet at the same time, giving these people some character! Some dimension. I know it's not accurate history, but it's enough to make me want to read up on the Battle of Thermopylae and that's saying something!

Anyway, now I'm counting the days until the movie comes out (March 9th, approx 19 days) and amusing myself by searching for screencaps from the trailer and making icons. So here are my first 12 icons from the film "300".

Lost Puzzle - DONE!!!

jimithingy and I got the last few pieces of that damned Lost Puzzle put together last night. It's over. It's finished - DONE! I'm going to smash it to bits and try to sell it to some poor soul at the next DCSWCC meeting. BUT I had to document this thing. And maybe some poor soul out there will be working on the Lost jigsaw puzzle, #2 The Others, googling away trying to find images, and they will stumble upon this entry and rejoice - for I have pictures.
