First Impressions meme

If you want to tell me what your first impression of me was (which is differentish from the usual love memes, I guess) then you can go

here to do it anon or not.

As I had to post there twice because I did something wrong with the coding for an LJ name, feel free to be frank about your first impression of me as a complete dork, omg.

I mean; a user name; how many times do I type that code a day? :;shakes head:;

Birthday!

Happy Birthday blue_meridian! Hope today brings you all the best a birthday can give ::hugs::

I'm contemplating getting a DVD burner (well, David's doing the contemplating, staring at the motherboard manual to see if we have a free slot. Or something.)

I'm getting tired of watching everything on my computer (okay, that sounds incredibly whiny but if David wants to watch it, too, we end up hunched around it and it's not comfortable) and burned CDs won't play on our, getting old now, DVD player. Sadly, as it's all tied into the big screen TV sound system as it's an amplifier as well, we can't just replace the DVD player with a cheap new one which probably would play them. And we don't have enough holes/spaces/slots on the TV to run a cheap DVD as well as the current one.

Apparently.

Tech makes my head ache.

The good news is that DVD burners are now cheap as chips as most computers come with them automatically. Future Shop have one for $50 or so.

Sentinel icons and one manip

I should be unloading the dishwasher/sorting and then ironing laundry/sorting out the recycling/thinking about supper.

Instead I'm making icons and deleting some interfering, intervening pixels to bring Jim and Blair a few inches closer than they were in the original screencap, which feels both wrong (altering reality; that never ends well) and yet right (they look like they're about to kiss. In no universe is that ever a bad thing).

Shareable, comments/crit, as ever, very welcome.

Original cap (if anyone wants to play with it themselves, go for it):
