Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Yep, I've made new icons. :)See the update note thing on the front page of Scarlett's Pile O' Icons for a complete rundown of the new icons. I haven't made any new icons in ages, but over the last few days I've whipped up a few. I'm slowly starting to get back to normal - y'know, making dozens of icons like a crazy person. I hate that my OCD hasn't let me be the insane icon-maker I once was... ;) But I'm getting there. Whoop! I amused myself by making this icon:
I've recently really gotten into Sinéad O'Connor's music. It's so different, and her voice is simply gorgeous. I don't give a darn at all about Sinéad herself, though - I know she has issues, but whatever. She makes great music. However, the pic I used for the icon was just begging to be made into an icon. Like I said, I'm not into reading about and adoring Sinéad (like I am with Sarah Brightman, or Ofra Haza, and of course Freddie Mercury - but that's a different sort of adoring altogether ;) ), but I do love that she's such a fighter and... strange. :)

I think I'm officially a Hitchhiker's fangirl. I tell everyone in my house to shut up whenever the commercials come on, and I can tell within a second that the commercial is one for the movie. I find myself fretting about where Zaphod's other head went in the movie. I'm irritated by the "The last man on Earth... is the only one who can save it" line or whatever. Arthur didn't save anything (well, he did once, by engaging the Improbability Drive, but that was a fluke)! That wasn't the point!

Another annoyance - apparently the director or someone thought the story didn't have a "middle" - it has a beginning and an end, but doesn't have a "middle". Er, I dunno, but that's one of the reasons why I love the book(s)/TV series so much - the characters are just mucking about the universe. There's no real point to it all. It's brilliant.

I'm worried that they've Americanized it too much. Lots of explosions, dumbing down of everything - I don't think I'm too wrong to think that we'll see a lot of that in the movie.

And if there's a car chase in the film, I swear, I will demand a refund.

They do get top marks for getting Stephen Fry as the voice of the book, though. Excellent choice. :)

I must get to bed. I'm sleepy, which is why I've rambled so much. Oy.

Cheery bye, Scarlett
