Monday and Tuesday, I felt off. I didn't even want to read. It that is as bad as it gets, reducing meds is working out wonderfully.
My friend Danielle has noticed the change in me. Today, she said I am happier and more energetic than before. I am even mulling over an idea for the parts of
Before the Beginning that I need to write. It is MY idea and I really like it. Today I may do some research into it.
I've been emerging myself in the wonderful world of goths. I found an amazing artist,
Victoria Frances. You have to register to see the gallery, but it is free and worth it. I will do a lengthy post on her later.
I've been working on goth icons this week (and taking vampire quizzes. I'm a succubus for one quiz, and Marius for another). Can't write about vampire and urban fantasy and not have gothic icons. The only icon that I have that is remotely goth is my Death one, which needs to be redone. Now I have lots and lots. First I went through my fantasy art collection and made about
ninety icons. (Some are from Victoria Frances. An icon table will come in the future. Feel free to gank what you would like, but please let me know) I didn't realize I had so much dark art. I tend to collect happy pretty faeries and elves. Last night, I made over hundred from Victoria Frances and I'm not even half way done.
For those fortunate to live across the pond, BBC One tonight has on John Barrowman: The Making of Me which goes into why he is gay. Here are two
previews. The second one is priceless.
Here is the BBC write-up on it. I found about this from
barrowmanfans and I'm sure they will upload it. The comm has a lot of great Barrowman vids and stuff.
I have a lot of sci-fi/fantasy readers on my flist. I'm not sure who on my list isn't one. Tor Books has
23 free ebooks and some beautiful wallpapers made from book covers, including one by Kuniko Craft. They are only available until Sunday, July 27.
Today, I'm listening to Jonathan Coulton and working on the section I'm giving to the group tonight. I gave it to Danielle last week. "NOOOO You can't leave me hanging like this. It's cruel and unusual punishment." Last week and this week's chapters are what started the book. They are probably the best out of the book. I told Danielle that I have trouble with settings and she looked at me like I had four heads. There is no way to break up this chapter for the group. Danielle said to do the whole thing tonight. She isn't going, so I can have her time. She's a good friend.
That's it for here. I'm doing much better and really enjoying my life again. Back to work.
I HATE broken links.
