GIP

I'm GIP-ping you. I made this icon. I made it. I will admit that I had jenahna coaching me along, but I still physically clicked the mouse. lol.

Btw, can anybody tell me a relatively easy way to add my icons to my "entries" page? It bugs me that I'm telling you to look at this icon yet you have to go to the comment page to actually see it. Bugs me bunches.

Okay. I wrote a very, very short children's story this afternoon. I'll read it to Cole tonight and see what he thinks of it. If he likes it and/or gives me any new ideas for it I'll either expand it a bit and start looking into what I need to do to get my words out into the publishing world or I'll scrap it for something that a 5 year old gets a kick out of. Wow. That was an impressively long sentence. Anyway. I'm heartily sick of waiting for my life to start whenever it damn well pleases, so I'm going to step up to the plate and start DOING what I need to do. I also have an extened idea for that same story that I think could be geared for older (but not yet adult) peeps. I wish I could draw even a little. Then I'd have a visual to go with my words. For now I have to envision it in my mind and hope that if it ever does get published it looks somewhat like what I'm seeing. [/babble]

Oh, I also made a couple of other icons. However, those haven't been uploaded to anything because I'm feeling lazy and contented today (what with the writing and all) so you can't see those yet. I am happy to announce that I used some new (to me) techniques and they don't look my regular boring ones. Heh.

I'm off.

I believe it's in your "edit customizations" option - there is a spot there where you can choose to have your user pics show up. Check it out :)

I did it! I did it!

[jenahville.livejournal.com]

YAY!

Great icon. I really like the color.

About the user pic question. Like Jenah said, in the edit customization pannel it should say display userpic/icon with each entry or something like that. You'll want to check yes or enable that. :)

Rob Tapert, producer of the upcoming remake of The Evil Dead, told SCI FI Wire that he and director Sam Raimi deliberated for a long time before deciding to redo their cult-favorite 1981 supernatural horror movie. "It took a long time to get to the point where we wanted to remake it," Tapert said in an interview. "The funny thing is, nothing is as you would expect. Our original investors and I think [original Evil Dead star] Bruce [Campbell] and myself were more resistant to remaking the movie than Sam."

The low-budget Evil Dead launched the careers of Michigan high-school friends Tapert, Raimi and Campbell and was the first of three movies featuring the zombie-fighting, time-traveling Ash (Campbell). Tapert went on to produce such TV shows as Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and with Raimi formed the production company Ghost House Pictures (The Grudge), which they run with Senator International.

Tapert said that Raimi (Spider-Man) initiated discussions about remaking Evil Dead, which has spawned hordes of fans since its initial release. "Sam, in his own special way, kind of led that charge," Tapert said. "I think Sam was really the one who said, 'Gee, I would love to give a new filmmaker an opportunity to use that title and use their skills to retell this in a new way for a new audience.' I talk to Bruce Campbell every other day, and he says, 'You should see the message boards and all of the stuff I get saying "Please don't do it!"' So we're certainly going to have to tread carefully."

Tapert said that he is confident that with Raimi and himself on board as producers, the remake will live up to fans' expectations. "As long as we stay true to what was the original model of the first Evil Dead, which was that we want to hurt and punish the audience, then those who love it will be satisfied," Tapert said. "We mean to bring that out to a whole new generation in something that honors all of the people that loved it and yet gives them a new and thrilling ride that they weren't expecting. That's the challenge, and hopefully if we succeed that's kind of the glory."
