metonomiaI HATE losing to my little brother. Hate hate hate. It doesn't matter how often I tell myself to be the bigger person, to just be chill, every time he beats me at something I get this clenching feeling in my throat because it's Not Fair. He's my baby brother - I should beat him all the time. But no. Every single video game, every single card/board game (with the exception of Scrabble) - he is always better than me, and he always beats me. There should be a rule against this, seriously.
In other news, I finally watched the commentary on episode 7 of Generation Kill. Broke my heart all over again. I don't think I'll ever forget this show. It's something I definitely want to buy and always have, because it makes me think so much (though my thoughts on it never really get much of anywhere). Everything's just there, and you want to think about it, you want to find the meaning in it, but then you realize that it's all real, these are all real people, this is the stuff the actual Marines actually said and did, albeit portraitized, and that just leaves me stumbling for a mental foothold.
In other other news, I got stuck in ficcing today, so I made some icons instead. I can't use them right now because I just revamped my icon list (I want those 100 icons!! But I am stopping myself. Noooo giving in to temptation!), but I sort of want to show them off.

be_themoon / be_themoon 's beautiful fic lovely in my sight. That poem, Mnemosyne, has ever since struck me as perfect for Susan and Lucy, sisters of win, so I stuck it on here.
Okay, back to the fic. Casfest due in a week, extended femgen deadline in two weeks. Flaaaaaaaail.
