Dept. of Birthdays

Happy Birthday, carbonel !

I was going to wish you a happy birthday in advance, had the Cubs won their Monday game. They lost, and I despaired just a little bit, because it seemed as if they were being ... well ... Cub-ish. 

And then they won last night. I can't think of a nicer thing to watch as your birthday came to an end yesterday. So many happy returns of the day to a Cubs fan, a fanfic fan, a yarn fan, an SF&F fan, and a very lovely person. May this year be the year (although I'm going to throw a kinehora out there just to be sure.)

I ADORE that icon. Huh. I'll have to track down the source image.

[misbegotten]

For my own curiosity's sake: the source.

[kaffy_r]

So my guess that it was Magritte was wrong!

[misbegotten]

But it's very Magritte-like. Totally understandable!

And I used it today because here in Chicago, we need a lot of umbrellas.

It's lovely, isn't it? I picked the icon up over at iconomicon a while back. The guy who ran that comm seems to have gone silent over the last few years, but the icons he (I think it's a "he") put together/curated/whathaveyou are often brilliant, although the brilliance gets mixed up with some sophomoric stuff as well. They're all there, and ready for people to take. Feel free to take the icon here.

And if I'm not mistaken, the icon's made from one of Magritte's paintings. I think ....

[misbegotten]

Oh, I have some iconomicon icons too! Like this one! :D

[kaffy_r]

Heh - glad to know another iconomicon fan!

(And, yes, a pennant! Look it up, youngsters! A Pennant is the second best thing in baseball, right behind the World Series. And it has a long and wonderful pedigree! Yup, that's one of my baseball buttons.)
