I'm not quite sure whether it's right to put everything in the same post, but I just wanted to express my concern, indignation and sorrow for the victims of the Katrina hurricane, the upsetting tumult that ocurred recently in Iraq and the massacre of Sarajevo, which I've recently become aware of, via the film Hotel Rwanda.
...I wish I could be more eloquent about all of this, but it so happens I'm not. I'm just sorry. I guess Orli conveys the feeling.

On another, happier note, I've had a good week, rather busy. There's the São Paulo International Short-Footage Motion Picture Festival going on and I've been attending regularly, everything is interesting and inspiring. Today I've stayed home, courtesy of a hurting uterus, and lived basically on painkillers, sweets, fruit and fanfic. :)

There are actually two major reasons I'm posting today:

One: If you're an Ewan/Hayden (RPS) fan, or in danger of becoming one, you simply must catch up on ducky_chas's WiP fic Better on Holiday. I'm deeply in love with this fic. Its plot flows oh-so-nicely, there's lots of positively brilliant dialogue, Ewan is the lovable bloke and Hayden, well, Ewan shall call him squishy and he shall be Ewan's and he shall be EWAN'S SQUISHY!!1one! :) Guest appearance by Cillian Murphy, who sort of tends to steal the scene because he's too fookin' funny an Irishman XDD So go, go, read it now! (this, Caro, is the fic I meant when I commented on your journal earlier today. I think you'd like it.)

Title: Better on Holiday
Author: ducky_chas
Pairing: Ewan McGregor/Hayden Christensen
Rating: R, overall
Summary: Hayden and Ewan get casted for the same movie. Again.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5
Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10
Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15
Chapter 16

Since I'm at it, might as well point you towards anliya's magnificent piece of Ani/Obi artwork. It's just their hands, sex implied. It's... it's just gorgeous, so full of feeling, so delicate. It made me think a bit of a HP piece killthwight recced on her lj a while ago. Btw, hon, as soon as I post here I'll give the final touches to my Clive & Ange entry and start posting Owned at rp_playground. *grins* For anyone who got curious, Owned is a Clive Owen/Jared Leto idea.

ETA: afra_schatz has just posted this entirely drool-worthy, too-beautiful-for-words Eric/Orli, Sin City-style artwork. It's just perfect, I couldn't possibly overrate it.

Two: I keep making icons. It's therapeutic and by now, self-indulgence really since there's so much I should be doing. But I like making icons ;]

Teasers: 09. 03.

[ 1] Robert Boyd
[ 2] Christian Bale
[ 2] Jude Law
[ 2] Jared Leto
[ 2] Heath Ledger
[ 1] Hayden Christensen

(25/out/07)EDIT: because I no longer trust LJ with my material, I've moved the ten icons to IJ.

Expect a full 30-something batch of icons to the lyrics of Coldplay's Shiver anytime soon. I'm having a terrific time working at that one :) And wheeeeee dead_pen's come to town!! *celebrates* Under her very benefitial influence, I'm thinking about changing my LJ layout. Any suggestions for themes?

Teaser icons for Shiver:

Ugh, your long posts are so hard to respond to! :P *loves you*

Ditto. I can never manage to put all my thoughts into words when it comes to things like this. I'm very sad for New Orleans though, one of my favourite cities ever :(

Cool. That sounds like fun. It's spring over here now, so film festivals will starts soon XD
(You poor thing, hope your uterus feels better soon!!)

There's something about WiP's; I can never seem to get into them. Waiting for the next chapter really bugs me, and I always forget which chapter I'm up to. This one sounds really good, so let me know when it's finished won't you?

Amazing. I left a comment over there but seriously, no words can describe, or praise, that artwork.

[ 2] Jude Law
The second Jude one is my favourite. It's so beautiful! Nice work Lori.

*laughs* sorry, dear! :) I, hmm, had a lot to share, I guess...

New Orleans was a place I used to tell myself I really wanted to visit, some day. I can only hope that it gets the amount of help and restoration it deserves.

Film Festivals = Teh Cool. Only awfully strange folk though. Which is fun of course!

=] I'll certainly remember to poke you when Better on Holiday is finished. It's a brilliant fic and you really should read it.

Yeah, Caro's work can only be classified as 'fuck me sideways'. Bloody brilliant. *.*

Aww thanks! =] I'm not really a big fan of Jude, but I really wanted to kick him in the bits when I found that pic. That much gorgeousness should come with a health-warning. Really not fair.
