I fail at interesting titles, so make up your own =)

1. I have magic pillows. No seriously, I do. *nods* I finally splashed out on some new pillows last weekend when I got totally sick and tired of lack of sleep. And OMG they're awesome! I don't have to pound them into shape several times a night just to get comfy. I kinda feel like Goldilocks - they're not too hard, they're not too soft, they're just right. Magic =)

2. I've been playing I Don't Like Mondays a lot lately on my piano. It's Hugh Laurie's fault. I caught a re-run of House the other day in which he was playing it, which reminded me I'd not played it in a while, and then it got stuck in my head, and now it's all I can play. But I seriously need to get my piano tuned. It's not as bad as the one at work though - tried to play it on there the other day and it's so out of tune plus the pedals are stuck so it just sounds freakish!

3. Playground guy is back from his hols *smirks* and making me laugh despite the fact that today was shockingly crappy at work. So much drama going on. *sighs* And although I've now got the rest of the week off theoretically, I'm still going in tomorrow morning for a bit to finish off the cover, and Thursday morning for a meeting that has the potential to be craptastic and full of blah. My choice. Want to have my say. Just hope I'm not as snarky as I was at this mornings meeting, and that I manage to hold my temper =P

4. I need to know when my shows are all back on. But I'm too afraid to check *lol* in case I get spoiled for any of them, cos I'm completely spoiler-free and it's great =) So - if anyone wants to tell me when the following shows are airing, I'll happily smooch you =)

Chuck
Dexter
Heroes
House
Numb3rs
Supernatural

Oh - and does anyone know if/when the series of Being Human is going to air? Or if it's even going to air at all?

5. I'm gonna start having a play around with Photoshop over the next few days so expect whining and hissy fits when I don't get the hang of it straight away! *lol* And please feel free to point me in the direction of 'An Idiots Guide for how to screw up Photoshop' cos I'm gonna need that. Or - y'know - some basic tutorials might work just as well... =)

6. I had an overwhelming and inexplicable craving for peanut butter when I got home, so have just eaten a huge round of toast absolutely smeared in the stuff. And it was great!

Hope you've all had a good day =)

*heffa hugs*

You play the piano? I totally didn't know that. Cool =) I love listening to people play - my sister does too & she's really good at it meanwhile =)
...
That just made me look through my hard drive for some piano pieces to listen to xD

Ohhh, you experimenting with Photoshop should be interesting =)
I still only know the most basic stuff & I could do with 'An Idiots Guide' as well *lol* I've however stumbled over some quite helpful tutorials in the past - I gotta see if I can find any of these again... If I can, I'll let you know =)

Have a lovely evening *hugs* ♥

Experimenting is the plan. Whining followed swiftly by destruction is what will probably follow - I tried once before and totally gave up too easily. Not this time though - this time I'm going to try harder =)

If you stumble across those tutorials, please chuck them my way - I need all the help I can get! I have ideas for icons and graphics and I'd love to be able to make them actually happen =)

You have a lovely evening too hon - and stop worrying about your lack of post-holiday motivation, okay?

*smiles and hugs you*

[sue91.livejournal.com]

I wanna see what you make, even if you don't like it =P
Though I gotta say, I was exactly the same... The first times I tried, I experimented for hours only to still be unsatisfied & to delete what I had made...
Practice makes perfect and I'm sure you'll do great =)

I'll look for them now - I've just shown my holiday pictures to my family =) Which reminds me, that I still have to chose & resize some for my LJ... Stopping to worry... Uhm, not gonna happen. Sorry. I just can't... I can't help feeling bad for not having sent you a proper email, having commented on various posts & all that other stuff, I still need to do... You really shouldn't be encouraging me to be lazy ;) You should rather be telling me to finally email you, so I pull myself together & do it already....

LOVING the icon, as always =) The eyes *drools* ... *drools-some-more*

*HUGS*

*lol* You know I'm not going to do that! *hugs* I understand, it's fine, you'll email when you're ready =)

I nemaed it 'Edward:eyes' cos I've been looking for an icon with that look in it for a while now ;)

*hugs hard*

I did find one of the tutorials that definitely helped me: http://community.livejournal.com/le_mot_art/6550.html#cutid1
That technique quite useful should you ever want to cut something out or to melt two pictures into one... Not really necessary if you only wanna make icons, so I'm not sure if this really helps you xD

There were others, but I can't find them at the moment - I'll continue looking though ;)

*hugs*

PS: If you're looking for icon tutorials, you should check our icon_tutorial.
