I've been meaning to do this for a while, and I FINALLY did..

NEW LAYOUT! [livejournal.com profile] starsouls1013

I needed something season 2 themed, and as soon as I saw the shot of the boys walking down the road I was like THAT'S IT. And it just spiralled from there :)

The images are thanks to the lovely [livejournal.com profile] monkiedude, who kindly put up with my exacting requests and delivered exactly what I needed in hi-res. Textures are from Tre-xtures and [livejournal.com profile] oxoniensis.

That text is something I've had lodged in my brain for a while, and I really wanted to use it... it's from T. S. Eliot's "Preludes," a bleak, stark little poem. This is the first stanza:

The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways.
Six o'clock.
The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps
The grimy scraps
Of withered leaves about your feet
And newspapers from vacant lots;
The showers beat
On broken blinds and chimney-pots,
And at the corner of the street
A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.

And then the lighting of the lamps.


I think the line fits the boys perfectly, especially considering... well, if you're caught up you know, and the demon's MO.

I changed my journal title accordingly, and the subtitle is "dry bones can harm no one," which is from Eliot's "Waste Land". I also changed the title of my friends page - it's now "a thousand sordid images" (also from Preludes) which I think suits you dirty lot awfully well ;)

So yes. Let me know what you think! :D

Thanks hon! We've been doing Eliot in my Modernism class and I'm really enjoying it.

Sort of half-covering my ears & eyes for this one cause I'm 99% caught up (I just have 2x02 to watch), but the layout is GORGEOUS. I'll definitely take another look later on when I'm done. <333

Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous. How ever do you find the patience to do that?

From: [identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com
By using it as a procrastinatory tactic instead of writing my English paper? ;) Which, funnily enough, was partially ON Eliot's Waste Land, which... hee. But yes. It doesn't require patience for me - I just find it fun :) Thank you so much!

A number format:

1) Is pretty!

2) I can't. Believe. You used Eliot. In relation to Supernatural. It's...it's...coffee spoons!

3) Um, maybe...it's a start? Yeah yeah. I'll just think that to myself.

4) Funny thing, but I notice that some of your recent entries are not showing up on my friends page at all. Weird.

STUNNING. Absolutely, incredibly beautiful.

Seriously, that's an incredible banner and I love that poem. I agree, it suits those two.

Beautiful. :)
