Very good.

Honestly, I felt it owed just as much to 1984 as it did to Fahrenheit. Were people really supposed to be surprised at the Big Brotheresque reveal?

The movie did yield us something great, though. When I heard Christian Bale was going to be Batman, I knew it was the right choice. He was what kept the movie together for me.

I thought Citizen Kane was pretty good; I enjoyed the unravelling of the story of one man's life, his rise and fall. It was well done. (Welles's Macbeth on the other hand.... ugh.)

Just a micro-update today. Derek did in fact have a picture of those embroidered 5MV ornaments, so you can now see them for yourself.


Tomorrow? Macro-update.

Coool. Can I buy one? Or something?

It must be said that those are quite amazingly very, very, good. Nice work, Mme. Dean! :D

They are sooooooooo cute!

Great job!

awww I want it....my preciousssssssssss

no really they are very cool

can I have some?

I've got dibs.

Then you should go and see your doctor. They get infectious if you leave it too long.

Heh.

Thanks! :D It was fun to make them. As far as buying them...not at the moment, as other projects (a few of them gifts) are screaming at me more loudly to be done. If I decide I feel like stitching those again, I'll talk rights with Zeke. Derivative work, and all that.

gifts huh?

what do we have to do to deserve one?

tell me and I will do :D

Hmm...currently, all the gifts I'm working on are for relatives or pregnant friends. ;)

damn then I dont have a chance.....but hey there can always happen "junior" :twisted:

Well not with that attitude, no. :roll:

The macro-update will have to wait another day, because today I suddenly found the courage to do something else, and I couldn't let the opportunity pass.


That's right: I watched The Ring 2. The unrated version. All the way through. Without chickening out.


I AM THE MAN!


Look, if you were as terrified of Samara as I am, you'd be proud too. Anyway, this means you can expect the overdue Ring 2 fiver shortly; I had a lot of it planned already, but didn't want to actually write it without having seen the movie. (For one thing, none of my sources covered the unrated version's extra scenes.) As for the macro-update -- which, not to be too coy, I'll tell you is community present number 2 -- tomorrow should still be a go.


By the way, great hitcounts lately. Let's keep 'em rising!

You mean the sequel to that great collection of Wisk commercials? Awesome.

Get around to watching the Japanese originals, Zeke, and then I'll really be impressed. :D

A belated nod to Mme Blueberry: I know full well how they were crafted, which is why I'm very, very impressed - both at the diligence and color shades. Great stitching work!
