boo!
OMG I made ICONS! It's been ages (well, since August, but still...AGES!)! Need to go collect some random screencaps and play with them, get inspired. I've got a few things saved but not much was hitting at me tonight. I had ideas for quote icons while at work today but forgot to write them down. D'oh!
[EDIT: was looking through icon folders and found yet another stash of Paramore icons I made but I guess never posted? Uploaded those to the entry as well...hopefully they are not repeats!)

landofart, which is what started this all. I am working on icon bases for a challenge going on now and saw some caps I wanted to play with. Need to make a cool signature banner so I can be all hip like
faeriesfolly and
hermionesparkle when I comment in the challenges. Want to do the recasting challenge but need to sit down and get inspired for that too...hm...
Disc 2 and 3 of the Ken Burns Prohibition mini-series came in for me today. The first part was really interesting. I love learning history through Ken Burns specials. He could do a special on the invention of crackers and I would be all glued to the set. Also got the Walking Dead Companion book from the library which looks pretty cool.
Not much of a Halloween for me, except at work today I had my cat ears on and drew whiskers. Heather had on a little witch hat, which was adorable. The evening crowd seemed to get into it more but they did have all afternoon to get ready! Actually had some kids knock on the door to get candy which is the first time that has EVER HAPPENED since I lived in an apartment. But they were just teens so I didn't feel too bad...not even good costumes. I did watch the Halloween episode of Community which was funny, but not as good as Season 1. I think the Dean/Devil stole the episode for me.
Okay, going to attempt to read a bit before I pass out. I've got SO MANY BOOKS I want to read right now. Only being able to read one at any given moment is tough. I finally got around to finishing Darth Paper Strikes Back at lunch today. I'll leave you with my GoodReads review:
Darth Paper Strikes Back by Tom Angleberger
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Fun story, though I was worried that the increase in Star Wars inside jokes might turn off some readers. Also, Harvey got pretty mean with his comments and I'm not sure the little twist at the end of the book did anything to redeem him. Cute, but not as good as the first one.
