I actually made it to third place! I really can't believe that. Below I've posted all of the icons that I entered as well as those that didn't quite make the cut. Those with a * beside them were never entered.

After a month and a half I have finally found new employment. Although working at Super Stop&Shop isn't one of my career goals it is money. That's whats important. Money.

The Watchmen movie just came to theaters and, in celebration of the greatest graphic novel of all time, I have made a small set of icons from various movie scenes and posters. Enjoy

Thank god for winter weather. I have tomorrow off, and because of the weather, there is absolutely nobody shopping in the store tonight (except for the few crazies). That means I get a nice, easy night without too much to do. Although, there is the drawback that a lot of people called out of work, but with no shoppers I think the store will be fine.

I finished! 50,012 words! As soon as I get the chance I'll slap the I won banner on here, but for now I just wanted to say WOOOO!!!!

To celebrate the new Slipknot album, All Hope Is Gone, I've created some icons of the band members as well as a banner for all you maggots out there. Enjoy.

That's right, starting tomorrow night American Football will be back in regular season. Starting with the NY Giants (yay!) vs the Washington Redskins (boo!) a little after 6:00PM.

If it's not clear by now, I am a Giants fan. I think it's time to win another Superbowl!

So, I've got a new boss. She used to be an intern at the store way back last year (I think). Now she's the head of security at the store. How does this make me feel? I don't know yet. I think it'll be okay; she worked with my old boss when she was an intern and she was trained at another store by an exec. that I respect. So we shall have to wait and see.

In other news... nothing. There really isn't anything else going on right now. I'm sure I'll get in trouble later on for forgetting something but right now my brain is thinking Snickers Bar!

It's really sad that there are people in this country (America) that actually think like this. Though I find it funny how ignorant the average Wal-Mart shopper is; that makes me feel better at least, I don't ever go there.

Like I do whenever I'm home by myself, I pulled out a cd I hadn't listened to in years and listened to it. This time it was Adema, and track 10 is one of my favorite songs of all time, Speculum.

The song always makes me think of my grandfather, who died just before my sixth birthday. With all the wedding plans and medical issues that have been going on recently, I hadn't realised that the anniversary of his passing was just a few weeks ago. As I listened to the song today I remembered him and thought how happy he would be to see me getting married and I actually cried for a little while.

So, I went on Youtube and found a video for the song. I had thought to just get the song without any video (since none was ever made) but then I saw this video made using Final Fantasy Advent Children and I loved that movie (duh, I made icons from it) so I posted that one.

I warn you, the opening is weird because I guess the guy that made it is a little weird (don't quote me, I don't know this person), but the song and video mean a lot to me... so here goes.

What's the deal with...

( my heroes dieing? )

Last week it was Stan Winston, and now George Carlin. I only experienced his comedy in his later years, which I loved so much because he was angry about all the things I was angry about, since I was born in the 80's. This sucks, I need some young heroes... oh wait, can't count on that either, Heath Ledger is (while not neccessary a hero he was pretty freaking awesome) deceased.

( News report under the cut - plus some swearing )

Here's a video, not the famous Seven Words, but something that I connected with him on. Religion is Bullshit.

Last sunday (on my birthday no less) legendary monster-maker Stan Winston passed away. In terms of monster creation and sheer imagination, this man was my hero and I will always remember him so.

( The story from Marvel.com )

Some of my favorite movie of all time where done by Stan. Below is a list of movies done by his production company, some of which haven't even been released yet. He will be missed, but his legacy will go on.
