[001] I have this feeling that once the Half Blood Prince movie comes out and we have photos and meta and headdesking, I'm gonna end up jumping back into HP and H/D and catching up on the backlog of awesome fic :) I feel like I'm getting back in the mood for some Draco lovin' *happy sigh*

[002] Found a list of rec lists @ aznara_recs as well as one for NaruSasu. SCORE!!! The first post also leads to several multi-fandom lists such as Reccing the Reccers. It makes me realise that I need to take the time and find reccers I click with beyond those I've come across in the HP fandom.

[003] OMG DW SEED ACCOUNT *grabby hands* Note to self: 8PM CENTRAL, BUY. By tonight I'm going to be either super happy or super disappointed (if seed accounts sell out in 5 minutes or something equally insane D:)

[004] I know its evil but I felt sadistically happy to hear that Adam Lambert was in the bottom two for American Idol. Of course this means the legion of fangirls will come back even stronger and Allison is definitely out next week but \o/ Yay for surprise upsets, MWHAHAHAHA (especially when I want the unpopular contestant to win). I wish Allison would last till the top two or three D:

[005] Tom Felton has finally found the hairstyle that works for him and it shows in all the press photos , photoshoots etc. (+ 1, 2, 3) Just in time really, 'cause HBP is definitely going to give him the most media coverage :3 I cannot wait for the photo spammage to come Apart from him, the two other actors I'm keeping an eye out for are Mathew Lewis (reason) and Devon Murray.

[006] noveltybox crossed 800 watchers and gossbox crossed 1000 (though in the past 48 hrs or so, membership doubled and crossed 1500, yikes) Will start moderated membership or an invite based system soon for GB. Definitely don't want it to grow too fast >_>

[007] Interesting posts lately:

• furiosity has a list of upcoming rants (wee!) and has already posted the first set on her DW
• Dreamwidth: It's not all or nothing - kinda useful post, whether you're pro DW or not.
• mbeasi's thoughts on yaoi and what she enjoys reading :)
• While I loathe loudtwitter and twitter logs on LJ with every fibre of my being, I find twitter meta on LJ makes for interesting reading - like Why Twitter? and Twitter & You

[008] I'm hoping that over the next month I'll be able to do a shared Core2 layout that both, works across platforms (Windows, Macs, mobiles etc.) AND expands gracefully for those with accessibility issues (poor eyesight etc.)

This will be the first layout where I'm gonna try to put the css in some semblance of organization and then start working on graphic intensive designs (accessibility layout first though!) Still discovering small bits an pieces I haven't formatted yet and DW is stil changing/adding classes since Core2 is still in beta.

There's also the DW and LJ site scheme designs I would like to make some headway in and a layout or two I was supposed to make (including my own 2009 reboot) but have yet to happen *wince* Most likely something is going to end up getting delayed but not sure what yet.

For personal reference, the icon sets I downloaded that I might use in future (and would therefore need to credit *headdesk*):

Developpers Icons | Knob Buttons | Monofactor | Cult-f | On Stage | Aesthetica Sapphire

[009] lemonpunch continues to make me all *_* with her icon coloring:

     

     

And here I thought there's wasn't much to blog about ^^
