I don't care if it is - and I'm sure it is - utterly uncool to buy one's jeans from M & S, they are *sublimely comfortable*. They claim to be 'natural waist', which doesn't exactly matter to me as I don't have a waist, but is infinitely preferable to those ubiquitous things which cover the butt-crack by about a millimetre if a person is standing upright. Ick. bun18 take note. The Per Una section.

Also pottered into Anne Harvey, and it turned out (a) they were having a sale (70% off!) and (b) I was in a purchasing mood, so I acquired some nice strokable red stuff and a may-not-have-been-a-great-choice-but-for-that-price-who-cares chocolate-brown thing and another top that's a *perfect* shape. Alas that they didn't have the same garment in other fabrics. I'd have bought a dozen.

So, new clothes. This would probably be a good time to get my hair cut and de-greyed.

My stomach muscles are recovering from the workout of the last couple of days. It's not just Lance, turps33 is also trying to kill us all. But, as I have remarked before, dying laughing is okay.

Ooh - and I got a commission yesterday. Someone who's building his own house wants to incorporate some coloured glass inside, and has asked me to design and paint the panel. A sorta Mackintosh-y effect. Cool! I shall have to stop being arty on the computer and create something a lot more tangible instead.

Speaking of which,







I'm really happy with both of these icons. :-)

That Lance one was yours? I loved it! :-D (which means, yes, I voted for it)

Congratulations!

*beams* Thank you.

That's so cool! I'm not too fond of the really flowery, sineous art noveaux style, but I love the stricter Mackintosh and Vienna interpretations. Please take photos of it if you can, I would love to see it.

Congratulations to the challenge placements! That was my favourite icon in the Joey challenge. Wonderful work!

[pensnest]

It is very cool - and was quite a surprise, too! I tend towards the over-decorated, myself, so will have to exercise great restraint. But it should be fun. I'll definitely take a pic or two!

congratulations on the commission!

And the shiny icons - they're both beautiful, but I can't tell you why the tinytext tm on Joey's bothers me and that on Lance's doesn't.

[pensnest]

Thanks!

Tinytext is an odd, odd thing, really. I never used to use it at all, but sometimes it just seems to fit.

it pokes at my word addiction - I want to know what it's saying

It does work awfully well with the languid classicism of Lance's hand icon, though.

[pensnest]

Now I'm trying to remember what it did say! Probably waffled and mis-typed song lyrics. Though I did make one Lance icon with bits of The Story of Matilda, who Told Lies, and was Burned to Death (which I can and do recite sans prompts).

Dear mother of God. Please remind me when you put up that Lance icon for general use, because I have such a damn fetish for those gorgeous hands. *lusts*

[pensnest]

They're beautiful, aren't they! And such a lovely elegant pose.

I'll do an icon-grab post when I've got a respectable collection together - not for a while yet, though.

It's not just Lance, turps33 is also trying to kill us all.

AH-HAHAHAHAAA!!!

Why did I not see that before!?!?

*dies snickering*

Lance and I are tight man, we have plans to over throw the world! But shush, they're secret ;)

Thanks for the hint but I have no idea where my nearest M & S is.

Congratulations on the commission, it sounds interesting.

78 Broadmead. Looks as though it's quite near where we parked the boat - so, not very far from the University.

Moo!

[bun18.livejournal.com]

Hehe. Moo to you too.

Congratulations on the commission. That's such a cool thing.

I really like both icons above, you have a lovely touch.
