Same here. I'll answer your other comments soon, but tonight I'm exhausted... I really wanted to reply to this one, though.
Yes, I'd been going through an Oscar Wilde phase.. but I decided that it was a great mistake to read three or four of his plays in one go. I grew tired not of his style, which I adore, but of the subject he addresses. I don't want to read any more about anybody's "secret&shameful" mother/father.
just today I had a burning desire to watch the film adaptation of The Importance of Being Earnest, and I promptly disregarded my pile of work and popped the DVD in the player. Have you seen it? It’s a wonderful adaptation starring Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Frances O’Connor, Reese Witherspoon and Dame Judi Dench. Really marvelous. I highly recommend it.
*smiles* Thumbs up for kicking work every once in a while to do something not productive but which you love. That's the greatest function of the system on our lives: giving us that undescribable pleasure when we bend it ;] And that sounds lovely!! *takes note* I'll look the DVD up!
nce upon a time I was an enormous VC fan and considered writing fanfiction, but Anne Rice is quite scary when it comes to that department.
Honestly, I think that her behaviour is ridiculous. She should be flattered that people love her characters enough to want to work with them. I haven't read the whole series; in fact, just IwtV and The Vampire Lestat. I grew bored with the whole tale of the origin of vampires and I thought the series couldn't get better. If it wouldn't get worse. That hasn't stopped me from reading lots and lots of VC specs, and loving the film-version and iconising it. Hence, I'm flattered that you feel that my icons
capture the mood and feel of the film/series perfectly.
I'm so amused by #2, I'm using it myself. Many people told me that they liked it... if you knew what I went through with that darned 'pout'... I messed with the background so that it would bring Louis forward, but then I couldn't fit the word with the background in a way it would be possible to read and yet not contrast too much. In the end I sort of gave up and settled for a simple font, and it worked. And Louis is such a permanent whiner ;]
