A gratuitous icon post, for this:



Some might remember that I exclaimed "Icon!" when we reached this moment (just after Flash has accidentally fired several Thanagarian missiles into the east wing of Wayne Manor) in our viewing of "Starcrossed" at the last ATPo Gathering. And here we are, only eight months later!

This icon was an unintended consequence of my recent dalliance with BitTorrent. Before, making my own screencaps was a laborious process involving a camcorder, a memory stick, and technical assistance from Rube Goldberg. Now, it's just a matter of PrntScrning the right frames in VirtualDub.

I could go on about the technical process, but what most interests me is that I managed to misquote Batman. What he actually says in the episode is "That's not helping!" I have managed to make a statement more antisocial than that made by a semi-psychotic, overly violent loner.

( And, indeed, looking at my icons . . .  )

The power came back on for me at about 5:45 am (13 1/2 hours of power loss); however, my grandmother and the grocery store across the street from her are still without. Also, as deadsoul820 points out on the board, my water is disgusting. Very red. I'm not going to drink it.

ETA: It's 2:45 pm; I was just online checking movie starts (the Plain Dealer was extremely abbreviated today), and the power just now went out again. Now I have to figure out how to get my grandmother out of her stifling apartment.

ETA: Power resumed at 1:13 am; just in time for Kim Possible, which wasn't exactly a don't miss. I have no idea how long this resumption will last, but I'm taking advantage of the air conditioning while I can.
