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

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

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.

Sara--can you cut the snottiness? Stop being such a brat! Seriously!

I'm not being bratty! It's just, I mean, T.S. Eliot! He's huge and impressive and he's T.S. Eliot!

Yes, I know he's T.S. Eliot. No need to get all defensive. Just try to be a normal human being, would you? And you are definitely being bratty.

Fine, fine. *scuffs dirt* I'm sorry for being a brat. I'll try to be less of one.

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!

1) Thank you!

2) I knew you'd have a heart attack :P And I'm not going to start to try defending myself all over again, but while it may not be high art, this show is dealing with heavy stuff right now, and I don't think the usage of the quotation is incongruous at all.

3) You do that.

4) Huh. Bizarre. I didn't filter you out or anything.

did you make that header anne?!

From: [identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com
Of course I did! I never use other peoples' headers anymore. That's why I gave credit for the textures and images silly.

Make sure you tell me what you want it to be like - images, size, coloring if you have a preference... etc.
