Hm.

Ah, well. I guess I'll update those animated emoticons to go along with Plurk's update.

I'm a little surprised Saitama's OK face isn't anywhere to be seen so far.

A Genos is fine, too.

Oh, there are a lot of icons for that show with the five identical children that Assby sometimes reblogs.

Also, this September they played a neat workout song at my gym. At the time I was even doing my best to remember some of the lyrics so I could look it up at home.

But the only fragments I could remember were so generic I couldn't find the song again.

Now I don't remember any of the lyrics, or even the beat, I just remember I really liked that song.

Even though I can't remember how it goes.

Oh, Dinosaurs. Haven't seen that in a long time.

That and are the only new emoticons I found that I found worth savig

*saving.

Unrelated, but I'm currently reading another of China Miéville's books and enjoying it immensely.

I adore his writing style.

Also, the way he can take relatively benign concepts and make them feel terrifying and intense.

One of my favorite short stories of his is the one where, basically, the worst that happens is young children calling an old man names and throwing pebbles at his window.

And if it weren't for the fact I'd be missing work, I wouldn't have been able to stop reading.

Details is also good.

[Spoilers] It features a creature that functions like the opposite of those Angel statues on Doctor Who.

If you don't see it, you're fine. If you see it, however, it's coming for you.

Which sounds innocent enough, except that you see it by looking at patterns.

And not just stripes or polka dot patterns, but patterns such as the threads on a shirt, or the uneven paint of a painted wall, and the texture of food, and fingerprints, and so on.

And then it gets even worse, but I won't spoil that here.

But I can definitely recommend it.

The Familiar, the short story about a modern, urban witch summoning a familiar was also a thrill.
