Thursday, with Icons

[nightdog_barks]

Sunny and steamy. 88 degrees (31.1 Celsius), feels as if it's 97. Which is very true, because I was just out in the backyard refilling the spare feeder for the squirrels bigger birds. The burst of dove feathers was still there; Chango sniffed at them but took no further interest. Alarm went off at 4:30 so Mr. N could make his 7 a.m. flight to Miami -- I tossed and turned for a while and then fell into a long, complicated dream that ended with Wilson lying to a butcher behind a meat counter at a grocery store and thinking to himself that he was becoming just like House. And no, I have no idea what he was lying about. WTF, dream?

Was messing around with Photobucket yesterday and made a few icons -- they're under the cut if anyone would like one. I don't claim any of them are any good, but I thought I'd share. *g* Sources are referenced and all are work-safe. None are fandom-related.




This is something called an "Art Deco topper." It's a sidebar graphic from The Errant Aesthete.

Also from The Errant Aesthete, the mouseover just says this is "Chez_Mondrian.sc."


This is from A Journey Round my Skull, which always has a lot of strange stuff.

And finally ...

So. Nothing else at the moment.

Hi Mare and Nightdog Hello!

*waves*

I'm at the office, rounding up people to go in on my 5-lbs-of-blueberries order from the CSA, and getting myself set to do some real work this afternoon. I'm almost done with my sandwich, and then it will really take off! Or something. :)

FIVE POUNDS OF BLUEBERRIES IS A LOT OF BLUEBERRIES.

Heh. We've got some Mississippi blueberries in the fridge -- they're good, but not nearly as sweet as the North Carolina berries we had before.

OMG I KNOW!

But! It's $18 for 5 lbs, which is really a good price for organic blueberries, considering that I sometimes pay $2 a pint at the store. And that's when they're in season! These berries are coming from Michigan and will probably be picked on Saturday or Sunday, to be delivered to me Tuesday. SWEET.

I now have 3.5 pounds spoken for, so 1.5 pounds is a lot less intimidating. But still, I may have to make a blueberry cobbler, or something. :)

Hi Perspi!

Well, the next job is now officially scheduled; I'll be putting in three days on it, toward the end of the month. That'll take a lot of financial pressure off.

Wish I could go in on those blueberries. Mmmmm.

Go you and Real Work!

Yay, for job scheduling!

I've already got several cups of blueberries frozen from when they first started coming on sale in the grocery store, but I'm afraid I cannot resist this blueberry offer! I may have to make a pie.

Yeah, the Real Work hasn't quite started yet. *sheepish*

You're killing me here, perspi!

While cheesecake is my ultimate favorite. I especially like it with blueberries. It's followed closely by organic blueberry cobbler or pie. *whimpers for some*

That is quite possibly the most perfect icon in the history of EVER.

Hee. I know, right? =D

*GIMMIEHANDS*

Jam! Tarts! Homemade ice cream! Pie! All the blueberry pie in the land!

[perspi.livejournal.com]

Pie will have to be a definite, I think! I've got 3.5 pounds spoken for, but the 1.5 pounds left for me will certainly leave enough for pies. :)

I'm definitely going to have to pick some up on my next grocery run.
