dodger_sisterSo, we just watched the best movie ever.
And by best, I mean I shit my pants.
Number of times I seriously considered throwing up during this movie = 5.
Not because it was gruesome and bloody per-say, but mostly because my stomach was so twisted into knots with anxiety.
Oh. Right. "What movie?" you ask.
Frozen.
Frozen starred Shawn Ashmore of X-Men fame and Emma Bell, who you may have recently seen in The Walking Dead. And some other guy. It is the movie about the three people who are on the last run on the ski lift and the people forget they are up there and shut it off and then a storm comes and they are stuck up there on the lift.
Sound messed up? Oh, you have no idea. It got so much worse than that. So. Much. Worse.
Go watch it. You will freak the fuck out, but it will be so worth it. Seriously. Way better than I expected it to be.
Also, we watched it through our Streaming Live of Netflix through the Tivo!!! Oh my, Tivo, I love you. I also spent two hours loading our Season Pass Manager and our wish list - (I added Mark Salling, in case he ever, idk, goes on Jimmy Fallon and sings and plays the guitar with Jimmy, who is a huge Glee dork btw. I mean, if I were Glee PR, I would totally do that...so it could happen.)
In other news, I am having an icon dilemma.
See, originally when I named my icons, I wanted to make sure that once they were on my computer, I didn't forget who had made them, so I could properly credit. But when I uploaded them, it didn't occur to me to change the names first - so now I have icons named things like, example: "misc ballerina-tomycoffee" <--tomycoffee being the person who made it.
Except I have filled up about half of my icon space and I still have like twice as many icons in my folder on my computer and I WANT THEM ALL! So I thought, "Well, I'll just change their names to things like "dance icon" and "movie icon" and "angry icon" - you know and then just keep a list of the icon creator someplace separate.
No problem, right? Then when I switch out my Coach Sue You Suck icon for my Michael Will Kick Your Fucking Ass icon, it won't matter - because they will still both be named "angry icon" and it will just replace one with the other.
Genius, right? (Actually someone suggested this to me many months ago but I was all, "On no, I already have 27 icons uploaded, I can't change it now." - 27 icons, I scoff at you now.)
But my dilemma is, that for all the comments I have ever made up to this point - (and ya'll know I talk a lot to you mo-fos) - they will all just be replaced with my default icon. Which really bugs me. When I'm looking at a thread and someone is going, "Jensen is so cute in your icon," and it's a picture of a frog - before I understood why that happened with icons, I would just sit there and stare stupidly and wonder why all these people seem to think Jensen is a frog.
So I can go back through my posts and edit the icons, but I can't do it on all my comments and I guess the big question is: Do I scrap all the icons from the last 8 months in favor of organization?
Hmmm, when I say the word organization, a voice pops into my head - (I think it is my sister's voice honestly) - and says, "There is nothing that isn't worth it, if it means you will be organized."
But do I really believe that?
What would you do, oh great Flist?
In Sum: The cable guy asked me today if my sister's cat "Pippin" was named after Scottie Pippen. I said, "Um, no, like Pippin from the Lord of the Rings" and he burst out laughing and said, "Oh my god, you should see your face. You're all like, no, who the hell is Scottie Pippen?"
In Sum #2: Jensen would make an adorable frog.
Edited - so that I'm perfectly clear: Frozen is a gruesome, bloody movie, but that's not why I found it so terrifying. Just FYI though, don't eat during it.

Date: 2011-01-14 10:39 am (UTC)I'm thinking of making it 3 folders - fandom related, spn, and misc. Its so hard becuase so many icons fit in so many categories :(
And I've also started re-saving icons if I see them around and naming them after whoever created them so that I can credit them, which I didn't need to worry about bfore.
What's your organisational system?

Date: 2011-01-20 08:24 am (UTC)So I have slowly started sorting through my 500 icons and putting them into folders - BAMF, Happy, Twinks, Dean Winchester, Entourage, The West Wing, Winchester Brothers, Great Fic, etc... And then, instead of loading them all at once, I just load them as I talk about them.
I was just talking about Leverage with someone the other day and before I replied to the thread, I loaded my Leverage icon and I named it "leverage icon". So now, if I want to switch it out and use a different one, I just name the new one "leverage icon" as well and it won't default all my old comments where I used the leverage icon - it will just automatically switch them from the old leverage icon to the new one.
And I keep a backup folder where the icons all have the icon-makers name on them, so I won't forget where I got them.
That sounds really confusing but it's totally not, lol.
My only complaint is that I can't have all the icons all the time, so I will have to randomly switch them around from time to time.
