The Trouble Starts. . . .

( Eighty-Eight Advent: December 2 )

-Martys: *look slightly embarrassed* We don't argue THAT much over music.-
But it's funnier to pretend you do!

Life is pretty typical -- work, Internet, the usual routine. Nothing particularly special going on, besides me starting a new story. And as befits my head currently, it's "Corpse Bride," not BTTF. Called "Bonds of Holy Matrimony," Victor/Victoria.
-TTV: *smiles approvingly*-
I was tempted to write my threesome fic "Reaper Man"--
-TTV: Hey!-
--But having this as a sort of "prequel" to "Corpse Mask" swayed me.
-TTV: *whew* You wonder why I like Jim Carrey.-
*giggle*
-RPD: You ever figure out your icon issue?-
I actually got desperate enough to download two enormous zip files from a cap_it site in hopes of getting the two pictures I wanted.
-OD: Let us guess--
Skipped over the first one I wanted -- it DID have angry!Victor, but not QUITE the pose I wanted.
So I took the Moose's advice. I went to YouTube. A music video yielded that "exhausted" icon I wanted, and in playing around with the El Jay Icon Maker, it turned out pretty good! In my opinion, anyway. Angry --
-D: NOW what?-
Well, I found a clip of the end of the movie, and the shot I wanted. Problem is -- I can't help but think he looks kind of funny in it. Hmph. I am an annoyed Vicky. Fortunately, I am also a Vicky with options -- I made a back-up icon already from that pic tea_holic found for me. You were useful, Ally! :D
-VD: And I suppose there's always that other picture in the screencaps.-
True, true. So, yeah, icon set dilemma almost over. Just gotta pare down the icons I do have so I have the right ones.
-TD: And then you finally get around to making the journal?-
Yeah. I know, I could have made it earlier, but I'm OBSESSIVE.
-VD2: *deadpan* Really? We never noticed.-
Ha ha. Anyway, I need to wrap some stuff up. Later!
