i don’t believe in tv

Almost finished the mood theme that i started… possibly two years ago and then wandered away from as someone in a community requested the one that I’d started. Got just over 100 mood icons so far and only really have the mildly tricky ones left. On the plus side, two years ago, I did managed to download the almost the entire picture content of a site on the subject of the mood theme I’m working on, so some of the more unusual poses are dealt with. Also, I figured out the command thingy in fireworks so some of the resizing and stuff is automated and the spreadsheet I made back when I started to quickly work out height and width ratios is still pretty useful.

Randomly, my neck and shoulders are sore and stiff. I think I’ve probably been sleeping in an awkward position, but because I’m asleep I don’t realise. Funny that. At least the pilates didn’t make it worse.

hmm. I should repaint my nails. and go to sleep.

sleep first perhaps.

Keanu Reeves mood theme

keanu

right-click, save as

Instructions

  1. Download the zip file and unzip it.
  2. Upload the files to your web space or a free image hosting service (e.g..
    Photobucket).
  3. Go to the admin
    console.
  4. Type in:

    moodtheme_create "Keanu Reeves " "Keanu Reeves mood
    theme by herdivineshadow"

  5. Click "execute". You’ll be given an i.d. number for your mood theme, make
    a note of it.
  6. Open the "moodtheme.txt" file from the opened zip file and replace
    where it has "12345" with the number you were just given.

    moodtheme_setpic 12345 90 http://www.yoururlhere.com/accomplished.jpg
    100 65

    (the bit bolded above)

  7. Replace where it says "www.yoururlhere.com" with the url of your web space
    or photobucket album.
  8. Copy everything from the text file and paste it into the admin console
    and click "execute". Your mood theme should now be installed.
  9. Go to the Custom
    Mood Editor
    page and click on the "use" button next to your newly installed
    mood theme to begin using it.
  10. Alternatively, you can also use the custom mood editor to install the mood
    theme, but it’s probably quicker to use the admin console.

NB: The Keanu Reeves mood theme has one mood icon with a shot of a bare bum.
If you don’t want Keanu’s naked buttocks appearing in your journal, replace
the "naughty" mood icon with another.

they’re a bit stretchy

Yesterday my dad and i visited the RAF museum in Hendon. It was cool and also free, which we weren’t expecting. We didn’t get to check out the Battle of Britain section, which was in a separate giant building, because it was getting late and my dad’s insides started making alarming noises (seriously, it appears to be a normal part of the craziness going on with his intestines, but you don’t expect to hear nureek, squeelookle and rutunga outside of Red Dwarf, let alone emanating from someone’s stomach).
Saw many many planes. Some of which were bigger than I expected. I mean, logically yeah, planes are generally huge and especially ones that carry bombs to completely own dams, power stations and the like. Usually though, they’re on tv or actually flying and therefore look tiny and you have no real perspective on how big something is.
Also, the plane are very dusty. Though it’s not like you can send someone up to ponce about on a wing with a feather duster I guess.
Today, I redyed my hair to try and deal with the bit at the front that was bleached and permanent dye washes out of. Can’t tell if it’s worked yet because there are no mirrors in my room.

What else? Hmm. There was something, but I can’t remember now.

Oh wait. Yeah. I have 4 Vox invites if anyone still doesn’t have an account and wants one.

I am starting to get excited about seeing AFI. In like.. 5 weeks. Heh.

QotD: Less Stress, Please


What is your favorite way to relieve stress?

Mindless interwebbing. Also, icon making, reading, sitting in the bath (with or without water), sleeping, eating, actually doing something about the thing I'm stressed about and window shopping.

 

Usually, stuff to either distract me from what I'm stressed about, or something to tackle it head on. I do not however, do the inbetween thing of talking about what's stressing me, because that just gets me more stressed about it. Which makes sense. For me, at least.
