Welcome to my neurosis.

As the subject says, here we are.  With the exception of my fics and anything else I choose to make public, this journal is FRIENDS ONLY--I have no real desire to post my life for the Internet at large.

So I'm paranoid.  Sue me.

Speaking of, the lovely artwork that heads this page is a creation of the very-talented bleed_the_day.  Thanks, girl!  (The quote, of course, is from Shakespeare--Henry V, Act IV, Scene III.)

Anyway.  Fics.  I write mostly Law & Order fics at the moment, including an interesting AU that I call the Goshawk Universe, which is a L&O/Harry Potter crossover 'verse.  Yes, there's a reason it's called the Goshawk Universe, but I'm not going to tell you here.  Neener-neener.  (Did I mention that I'm a wiseass?)

I write mostly about Jack McCoy ... but Mike Cutter is beginning to edge into my consciousness.  Let's face it, Linus is hot.  (And so is Sam.)  Hence the header, and my avatars.  Hey, they--and Sig Hansen (and ... er ... his brother), from Deadliest Catch--are my guys.

In any case, that's where I'm planning to go at the moment.  God knows, it'll probably change at some point.

I've got the first bit--the stuff that's in pen--but then, it gets ... squirrelly.

"Oratio ad D. N. J. C. Crucifixum

“En ego, o bone et dulcissime Jesu, ante conspectum tuum genibus me provolvo….”

If you're curious, this is what a previous owner inscribed in the flyleaf of the copy of the Liber Usualis that ended up in my possession (after a jaunt through the hands of an amazon.com marketplace seller.  I've owned it for ... um ... well, amazon says since March of 2001.  It was printed in 1934.)

I haven't iconed Cutter in a while ... I suppose I was distracted by *ahem* a pair of Norwegian fishermen. But searching through my pics this evening for polkadotsnplaid yielded a pair of screencaps I had intended to icon, so here are the results. Usual rules; if you want 'em, please

1. Comment
2. Credit
3. Do not hotlink

Thank you!

Dear local news outlets,

Okay, I realize that a large portion of your reader/viewership is rabidly awaiting developments in the story of the recently-fired football coach.  It seems to me, however, that this is a bit more important.  You might at least mention it.

Frustratedly yours,
fear-ciuil

If you want them, comment, credit and no hotlinking, please.

         

ETA:  They're cooler now, aren't they?  I'm much happier with them.

Mostly from 9 Chickweed Lane, with one Jack McCoy.  Usual rules: if you want 'em, comment, credit and no hotlinking, plz!  Kthxbai.



                   
                   
                   
                   
                   
                   
                   
         

EDIT:  I cleaned up the Chickweed icons, removing the remnants of speech/thought bubbles (and the edge of the frame, in one), and added a couple more Evil Grin icons.

Oh, and one last thing: Law & Order belongs to Dick Wolf et al., and 9 Chickweed Lane belongs to Brooke McEldowney.  I make no money here.

First, seeking advice: I'm starting to look into new appliances.  Anyone have any thoughts?  Any brand/model you love/hate/would avoid like the plague because it self-destructed the minute the warranty was up?  Any stores you love/hate/would avoid like the plague because they're ridiculously expensive/have sucky return policies/offer crappy warranties/selection sucks?

And by "appliances," I mean washer/dryer, refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher.  (I think that's it.)



Second, I've been iconing 9 Chickweed Lane and managed to get these four in sequence:

   

Like mother, like daughter, no?  (::giggle::)

(Oh, and if you want 'em, snag 'em--just comment, credit and no hotlinking, please.)

All ye veterans and active service people, thank you.  Without you, and the sacrifices you've made and are currently making, my country would be the worse.

( We cannot dedicate )

... and in this case, by "they," I mean, "Brooke McEldowney."  First, read the comments here (it'll take you a while--it's quite an active board; look for any of the comments regarding the placement of Luciano's foot in relation to Inky's posture.  You may have to go back to here.)  Then, read his resonse here.

Thank you for clearing that up, sir.  I'd doff my hat to you....




... but I seem to have lost it.




ETA:  If you're at all interested in the artistry of comics, you need to be reading Mr. McEldowney's work: both Pibgorn and 9 Chickweed Lane.  The man is a master.


ETA2:  Mr. McEldowney himself showed up in today's comments for Pibgorn!!!  Sa-weet!
(And, among other things, announced that he's establishing a blog for 9 Chickweed Lane at http://chickweedcafe.blogspot.com)

I suspect most of you on the f-list who are interested are also on apocrypha, but....


Law & Order Season 6 is due out Dec. 2nd!  About time!!!

I don't know if perpet_fic is going to wander over here, but in light of tonight's ... er, threading, I thought I'd post it.

(Many thanks to clearbell for finding this pic; it's taken from here.)

I'm playing at being ... frugal ... and sticking to the free account on LJ, which means I only have 15 icon spaces. I've made boatloads, though. So here's an icon post, in the hopes that someone can make use of them. (Feel free to snag anything that catches your fancy ... just please credit me.)


( The Michael A. Cutter icons )

( The John J. McCoy icons )

( The McCoy/Cutter icons )

( The McCoy/Cutter/Rubirosa icons )

( The Sig Hansen icons )

What?  I'm only ... uh, five days early.  ("Half-birthday" is what my students call it.)  ; )

Anyway ... standard disclaimer applies.  Not mine.
