sigh.
Someone I love and admire is fading away by inches. I can't stop it, and the only way to help is to keep smiling, and teasing, and breathing. Oh, Papa.
My grandparents are my definition of love. I have never seen two people so balanced by each other, so delighted by each other, so focused on the other's happiness. They are breaking my heart.

Yuletide letter!
Dear Yuletide author,
( Hello! I’m so glad someone out there loves one of my fandom choices as much as I do! )

movie time!
Hot damn!
A friend of mine got his hands on advanced screening tickets of Hot Fuzz and ( I just have to say this: )
Also: ( this movie ... )
Note: there are no plot spoilers behind the cuts, I promise. Just opinions.
And if you have no idea what movie I'm talking about and are curious, ( read a short - wow, so short - summary - but not of plot! - here: )

Ma'am, you need to calm down
So, it may be actually possible to metaphorically drown yourself.
Sigh.
I do, however, now have a fantastic and enormous painted fan for my wall, and have seen Pan's Labryrinth three times. I love that movie. Which, really, is one of the most ridiculous words in the English language, if you think about it. Movie. Because they're pictures that move. Isn't that so clever? I keep seeing in my head little cartoon people from the '20s (or whenever cinematography was invented) gesturing to each other excitedly with lots of waving arms, exclaiming, "Why yes, Gertrude, pictures that move! We shall call them movies! It's brilliant!"
Sometimes slang is just so embarrassing.

day 14
Title: Encore
Description: 50 more flower icons, just because. I'm dedicating these, again, to my amazing, exhausted mother.
ETA: Ack! Now with cut tag! So sorry!
ETA2: Aaaaaand now all 50 are up, instead of just 40. *facepalm*
( and the final 50 )
My favorite flowers, by the way, are orchids. They're all so strikingly female-shaped.
14 Valentines: V-Day.

day 13
Title: I Knew A Florist, Once
Description: 30 floral icons, in honor of my mother. She is a florist, and neither she nor anyone else in the industry will get any sleep until February 15th. If you will be buying flowers tomorrow, please - be kind. The last time I worked a V-Day in her shop, it was a 15 hour shift with maybe one ten minute break, for everyone.
(All the floral designers I know, by the way, call Valentine's "D-Day".)
Please comment what you take, and feel free to edit these as you like.

Day 12
Description: art, SGA, Teyla - work safe, or as work safe as Teyla's stickfighting ensemble ever is.
Title: ( Read more... )
Today's theme is 14 Valentines: Voting, and all I can really say is this: if we do not vote, we have no say, and if we aren't speaking for ourselves, then who will? If we do not work to give others the right to choose for themselves, then the world will never be any different than it is right now. And, frankly, right now is not looking so hot.
