Alexander Icons!

- 32 Alexander (Revisited) Icons

As requested by shalowater. I'm sorry it took me so long to make these--it was a pain getting a copy of the DVD! That said, I love this movie's cinematography to bits. Everything is so freaking pretty! (Especially Jonathan Rhys Meyers. He needed more scenes. WAY more scenes. How did I never notice him before?)

I thought the portrayal of Alexander himself was way too romanticized, though. Didn't he adopt Eastern customs, dress in particular, purely as a shrewd, calculating political move? I'm no expert, but Alexander always seemed like one crafty, devious dude to me. What say you?

( Here are the rest . . .  )

It's May ALREADY!

Blegh. Where is the year going? I feel as if I haven't gotten anything done yet--especially as I'm watching a ton of people struggling to stay afloat during finals, my BFF and brother included. Kinda makes me feel guilty that I've got it easy by comparison--but, hey, working part-time and writing the rest of the time, instead of going to college, was my choice. I'll keep at it, and see if my hunch that I can pursue a writing career my own way will turn out right. (Of course, keeping that "writing the rest of the time" literal and fresh in my mind would help. I tend to get distracted too easily.)

Speaking of distractions, perhaps I should pretend the internet is down for a while. That might help. I saw an icon somewhere that read something like this: "The key to being a successful writer is keeping off the internet." True, that.

But, before I go, I've got to post this video. It's an ad-lib moment from the filming of season 4 of Supernatural. THIS is the best example of why I'm hopelessly addicted to this show. Jensen Ackles is one of the most awesome dorks on the planet, and I will never be able to hear "Eye of the Tiger" again without giggling.
