09I'm so upset I missed the deadline for the

24_stillness contest. I should have worked on that this morning instead of other things. It was a really good competition...icons of your favorite couples! Darn putting up of the Christmas tree! I also discovered the limitations of Jasc Paintshop today as I tried to make an animated icon that ended up being 100kb in size. You will see my paltry efforts below. *giggles*

Haven't seen any new movies yet...still watching 24 Season Five with Commentary. Oh how I heart the commentary. Everyone who has been on from Kiefer to the producers to the directors to the writers have talked about the chemistry between Jean and Greg. Some actors perform the lines you write perfectly while other actors make YOU write for THEM. Jean and Greg are in the latter group and everyone said how they were surprised where those two would take a scene but in the end it worked and was so entertaining. They loved how each argument sounded like it was over something important because of who they were and (they didn't say this but I know this from the commentary Jean and Greg gave) the backstory the two of them came up when there was downtime. Also I think their theater backgrounds helped IMMENSELY!! The show is shot in long segments all at once instead of individual cuts so it's like a live play and these two are Broadway veterans. Oh I'm so glad for commentaries. I still have more to hear and a good friend on FLOSS uploaded the Jean/Greg comments in ipod form so I was listening to it again today. It's so sexy when Jean tells Greg to shut up...like a real married couple :) So adorable :D

Well that's enough of my fangirl squealing. On to the graphics part of this post...after all, it IS Saturday :) I was hoping to have more to show you, especially of Greg and Jean but I finally finished those icons for FLOSS that have Aaron and Martha in them so there are those and there are...Jack Bauer icons from the contest I was in :) The one with the magnifying glass won the moderator's choice. Hip hip hooray :) So just check under the cut for a few things I was working on this week *winks* Greg/Jean icons are on the way after this...I promise :)





Side note: The Greg icon is the 100KB so cannot be used on LJ. Sorry, I'm still working on getting it sized down :)

The tides won't change...Seasons rearrange
When the world is through...I will still love you
