If his last words were "I shall return," don't wait.

I was a busy little bee yesterday. I ran some errands. Mostly I went to get a few groceries of stuff we were running out of. When I got back, the urge to try an reorganize some things struck me for some reason. Since it doesn't happen all too often, I figured I'd take the opportunity to go with it.

Now mostly I just culled some of my magazines. I cut out the articles I wanted to keep, and tossed the rest of them. That freed up some room so I could move things around and condense a few things. Alas, I didn't really get rid of any boxes per se, but I was able to rearrange things so that it freed up a bit more floor space. Things still look a bit crammed, but not like it was before, so yes it is an improvement.

I finally finished mom's scarf. She really liked it and I've started on another one. I'm doing the double crochet stitch this time instead of the single one, and even though I've gotten about three rows done, I feel I may have to undo them. It's too narrow. But, it's good I realize this now then before I get too far into it.

And it's time for another meme. This one looks to be pretty cool. Ganked from kawaiiayu who herself ganked it from flamika:

Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than 50 icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, what significance does it have.



keywords: Rei
made by: selen_phobia
Rei Kashino from the manga series MARS. I love the series a lot, and I really liked this particular image of him.





keywords: Soleta
made by: me
Soleta from the novel series Star Trek New Frontier. I've always like Vulcans as a species and when I started reading the novel series, I found myself really liking the character of Soleta and the significance of her overcoming her dark past. The text refers to events that occur in the story Pain Management from the second edition of Tales from the Captain's Table.


keywords: Rei -- I ♥ Hot Boys!
made by: me
Rei again. And yes, this is me being shallow. No one's perfect... I think, if I made it again, I might be able to do a better job.


keywords: Vash from the cover of vol. 11
made by: me
Vash the Stampede from the series Trigun. Love him. I saw this image and thought it'd make a neat icon, so that's what I did. I didn't really alter it too much. Just desaturized a bit and slapped on a border. Sometimes simple is best.


keywords: Sei and Okita
made by: lilsuika
The two main characters from the series Kaze Hikaru. Sei is actually a girl disguised as a boy in order to join the Shinsengumi. While there she's falls in love with Okita, who knows of her secret. Despite being told that it's no place for a girl, she stays so she can be close to Okita and try and protect him. *squiiish*


keywords: Yuya, Sasuke and Tora --WTF!
made by: xskadi
Yuya, Sasuke and Benitora are from Samurai Deeper Kyo. I use this one in particular for those moments when you don't know what else to say, really.


keywords: Kureno -- New Years
made by: flamika
Kureno Sohma from Fruits Basket. He's one of my favorite characters and I thought this one was a really beautiful image of him. I have a lot of him, actually.


keywords: Howl/Sophie -- *glomp*
made by: _irii_
Howl Jenkins and Sophie Hatter from the movie Howl's Moving Castle. Love this movie to pieces and I thought this scene in particular was really cute. Plus, I like the style she uses for the icon.


keywords: SV -- Clark
made by: cool_rush
Tom Welling, star of Smallville looking positively delish. Yes, me being shallow again...


keywords: Al & Ed photograph
made by: sleepdebtfairy
Ed and Al Alphonse from the movie for Full Metal Alchemist I thought it looked to be a nice sweet sorta pic representing the way things should be. I've yet to see the movie, but I hope to soon.


keywords: L does not mean LOSER!!
made by: meliachu
L from Death Note. Hands down my favorite character. I just thought it was neat that he was making an "L" with his fingers like that.



Well, that's all for now. I've got sheets to wash...

Trivia of the day: Although many food writers have translated the Italian "antipasto" as "before the pasta," its literal meaning is "before the meal."

Your subject line reminds me of a part of a Vienne Teng song...

blue, blue caravan
wont you drive away all of these tears?
my true love is a man
that I haven't seen in years

he said:
"go where you have to
for I belong to you until my dying day,"
so like a fool, blue caravan, I believed him
and I walked away

lol I was listening to this CD driving around this morning (kinda gearing up for the concert thursday :3)
