I've finally finished all of the icons for this month and I've been spending the last few days making icons that I won't be posting because they are following a tutorial exactly and a few others that will be posted once I've made enough of them...
I've also been making a lot of bases for later use. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong when using the crop tool so now I'm not finding it as irritating to get a screenshot to 100 x 100.
BTW your screens of the first HP movie? They kick ass! Much thanks. That's my claim for HP 20 in 20... I was torn between that or the second movie but I think baby ron, harry, and hermione are at their most adorable in the first movie.
I've never seen galaxy quest either. I've never seen a lot of movies. One day I shall fix this. I still remember the sight on Ian's face when I said that I'd never seen Star Wars, ghost busters, Indiana Jones or Back to the Future. :-D I still haven't seen GB or Indiana Jones...
I refused to read the books at first... but I was babysitting my cousins. And the eldest boy who has ADHD begged me to read them the chapter they were on in book four (which had just come out) and since my cousins had me wrapped around their little fingers. I was their favorite cousin and they were mine... I told them that if they were good, I'd read it to them before bed. So throughout our swimming, eating, and household chores they told me the basic plot of the book. (Not everthing mind, just the basics..) and I read the chapter where Harry encounters older Barty Crouch who vanishes when he gets the adults.
The next day I checked out book 1 devoured it in a day, went on the waiting list for book four as I devoured books 2-3 in the next to days. I ended up getting my own hardcover copies of books 1-4 as a gift.
I saw the first movie the day it premiered in the theater, despite having 103 degree fever (I've never preordered movie tickets since) while sharing half my seat with a strangers five year old. Our theater (the only one in 4 towns at the time) had a tendency to over book.. And there was only one seat left since some arse in the center of our row refused to move and the kids were crying. I told her that he could sit with me... and shifted so that I took up half my seat. Luckily my seatmate was a well behaved and sweet child.
The movie was brilliant and worth the next three days spent at home in bed, since my fever had worsened.
Oh Harry Potter nostalgia. It's only going to get worse until the last move is out. (I plan on seeing the last one in the theater for old times sake.)
