It's a thing, and I've updated it.
PSA: IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN, THIS JOURNAL USED TO BE CALLED DHIO.

Sorry for the silence in replying to journals and comments recently-- I graduated, then drove all around the east coast for a few days. I'm at my parents' house at the moment, doing boring car-related things, catching up with my folks (and their cats), and working.

In the meantime, as promised, I've gone and renamed the journal and revamped the layout. It's not spectacular, but I actually put some solid time into the background image. (The star things are supposed to be bugs, but they can be snowflakes or whatever you fancy. XD )

I love my gossiping maws. They look like they're high-fiving, or whatever you can do with tongue-hands.

100% photoshop, you can tell that I cheated on the outer stroke there. >_>

I also went and saw Speed Racer with

ananthymous. Verdict: RAINBOW ROAD: THE MOVIE. Also, I totally and somewhat unexpectedly enjoyed it. ~~And it wasn't entirely based on the two minutes this dude had on screen.~~

I am uncomfortable with the number of movies I intend to see this summer. I hate seeing movies, what is this.

[ETA: WHAT, REDOING THE LAYOUT AGAIN? Jeez Aido what the hell's wrong with you.]
[ETA again: D-dammit, I hate CSS override. Why isn't Tranquility II compatible with backgrounds? ;_; ]
[Last time I swear: Two versions later, I think I've got it mostly down. D-does anyone know CSS well enough to tell me how to add a person's default user icon in the header?]

	Oh, I was WONDERING who you were. XDDD And oman, my friend and I thought the EXACT SAME THING when we saw the movie, the colooooorrrrssssss!!! ♥ Also, she and I have dubbed the guy "Godot". >> (Reply to this) (Thread)

	aidosaur 2008-05-29 06:53 am UTC (link)
	Haha, I have a sinking feeling that this'll be a reoccurring trend. Luckily, all I ever seem to post online is art, so I'm sure most people will catch on quickly. I--is it bad that my initial impression of this movie was entirely based on seeing Joon Park all Godot'd out in the trailer and saying "YES, I AM ALL OVER THIS?" answer: probably yes.

	I like the revamp! I have not seen Speed Racer, though my husband has, and boy did he like it. But not as much as I like Iron Man ~~which I've now seen four times~~. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	aidosaur 2008-05-29 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks! :DD I've seen three (!) movies in theaters in the past month or so, and Iron Man was by far the best. I kinda really want to see it again. >_> (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	I.... I might have this thing? For dudes with dark skin and white hair? ;_; He's only in the movie for maybe a combined two minutes at most, no speaking lines, most of the time he's wearing a racing helmet. XD HE HAS TOTALLY SWEET HAIR AND TATTOOS THOUGH. Also that actor is going to be in the DBZ movie. grnddrmmit (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Emily has become obsessed with Speed Racer...well, the movie at least... not the cartoon. It is because of this that I will be required to buy a PS3 so she can watch it on Blu-Ray. And by "watch it", I mean... constantly. On repeat. For weeks straight. Just like she did with Willy Wonka, Advent Children and Hitchhikers Guide. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That Layout is awesome. Man, those maws are cute and creepy all at the same time. And the little Aido is <3. =) The thing that baffled me about Speed Racer is just why did it come out? I never knew there was a need to see Speed Racer in film, I guess I know nothing! (Reply to this)
