Odds and ends

[hildy89]

One day of respite and we're back to the monsoon season. So much for April showers... not that I'll be wishing for the hot August nights anytime soon, but some sun might be nice. Work continues. The weird thing about working near Union Station is I keep having the urge to take that "Anywhere" train.

My social life will speed up this week with writing group, char-gen session for superhero game, and party in rapid succession. I've completely lost track of the books we're discussing for the writing group, after doing so well earlier on. I don't know whether I'll have time to check library for a copy. The all-girl RPG should be fun. I really need to sit down with a name book and find an alter-ego for my character. I spent some time with Hero Machine to create the costumes which turned out okay. I'm still not wild about the villain I drew up. (I do have the beta for HM which I've installed. I *have* to see if you can zoom in on the interface, because I can barely read the damn thing.)

Also want to spend some time with icons for WENN using gpsysngbrd's bases, if I can find some decent smaller fonts. Maybe this will spur me into action for the WENN bunnies, like the time travel story or even the "Private Lives" ripoff. My Scott muse clearly knew what he was talking about when he was insisting that *he* was married to Hilary. Do I *ever* write straight Hilary/Jeff stories?

Oh I love Private Lives - can I find your "ripoff" somewhere?

Alas my "ripoff" as yet unwritten bunny I've had in the works since last year's Tony Awards. Haven't done much other than tweaked with the idea as an after-WENN story idea.

ah ... understood completely. Last year's Tony's seem so far away - I got them out recently just to watch the Private Lives clips. I was so happy for Lindsay Duncan ... but poor Alan.

Don't they though? I *loved* the little clips I saw. The bantering and on-again/off-again marriage reminded me too much of Hilary/Jeff to not toy with it. I wish I'd had the chance to see the show for myself.

I used to write straight Jeff and Hilary stories. LOL :-) I think it's the been there done that... want something new. Scott and Hilary are new.. and I luuvs the Angst!

Small fonts

Ah, yes, the search for small fonts. Joy.

A while back, someone at x2icons posted a link to a font archive called DaFONT, which was amazingly useful. Check out the bitmap (pixel) fonts. The 04b font sets on the first page tend to turn out especially well.

(FYI, the font I used for your Cyke icon is called Sanity. It doesn't work too tiny, but it's good for tall narrow spaces.)
