Updating...

Am up-to-date on the FList. (Not so up to date on the workflow, though. *g*) I have a huge headache. Seriously, there are little gnomes pounding nails into my temples as we speak.

Anyway, guess what happened while I was away? The building my office is in got a bomb threat. Twice! They even ended up having a four hour lunch yesterday.

I mean, yeah, it isn't like I missed out on anything major, but... If I was working with another SN fan, I would have spent the afternoon cracking up with SN quotage. (Although, apparently, there were no dogs used in the search. *boggles* Of course, I'm a little more surprised by what anyone would have against the Housing Association. I'm guessing when builders get mad, bombs will follow.)

Sometimes, I love drabbles. Like [livejournal.com profile] laylee's little insight into a happy, slightly zany, pregnant Dana. *happy sigh*

Anyway, had discussions with Mum last night and we're probably moving down to Geelong. On the one side, there's more time spent commuting, and I can't stuff around after work checking LJ. On the other side, I've got more time on the train to sit down and write fic.

Due to the aforementioned headache, I haven't written Celli another bit of the accounting fic, even though I promised I would. (Dude, there are fics I promised to people *last* year that I still haven't finished. I'm... whimsical like that. *g*)

Oh, in my excitement about my new long-suffering Casey icon (*bounces for the hell of it*), I forgot to mention about the other two.

I really like the cropping/colors/effects of the image, but the text seems odd to me. I'm not a big fan of blank/untexted icons, though.

I want to spend a little while thinking about this. Would it be cool if I got back to you later about it? I'm thinking a one or two (or maybe three) word phrase would work better, but I'm not sure what it should be.

But, still, long-suffering Casey!

*hugs new icon*

I wasn't keen on that icon either. I picked text from the show because I was blank on anything else (not exactly unusual), so I just threw it in on the off chance, and because it has their legs! And their boxers.... *g*

But if you ever think of text that would make it work, just give me a shout.

*nods* Yeah, the pic is great (and, yes, boxers!) but... hmm... textwise, not so good.

I was thinking maybe "on display" or "always watched" (or "still watching"), maybe in big pretty, swirly writing (like my "Everyone" in this icon, maybe...?)

*stares at icons*

Hmmm...

Or maybe even "waiting"...

ETA: However, your "nice view" suggestion would be great! Just cheeky enough to be perfect for the boys.

As you liked the swirly writing, I gave that font (Scriptina) and another script font an outing. Any of these take your fancy?

I'm tempted between the first and the third.

I like the *colors*, so it'll have to be the first. Plus, there's the swirly N, wihch just looks neat. *g*

(Oh, and as an extra yay, it'll be an "N" icon. I'm slowly building a collection of icons that spreads itself across the alphabet! *g*)

How about 'nice view!'?
