::howls:: Daddy, this is going to be the bestest Christmas ever!

Yeah... I get PAID to do this now...

But look at what I did this afternoon. And as a quiz, figure out what these strange objects are.





Give up? Those are purses made by a Montreal artist.


And because you are AWESOME, here's random pictures from the temp exhibit I'm helping run this week.





A York University student's project. When the light hits the right angle, the stars project onto the floor. Sadly, that right angle only happens when the Science Centre is closed.




Mobi the telecommications robot. I fail at cropping here.


EDIT: OMG! I forgot about this, but there was a guy in a high school group today that what walking around with a black cape on and trying to talk to the birds outside through the glass. Yes, sir, the birds are afraid of thee, the dark lord of the Ontario Science Centre.

Or maybe he was LARPing.

Though, honestly, it never really crossed my mind to ask for private enjoyment. I'll remember to do so in the future, though.

I don't mind people saving copies on their harddrives. I mind them being posted in public -- any net artist will tell you that theives are abundant, and the less exposure outside of my journal, the better. And while I'm hardly good enough to actually call myself an artist, I am insanely proud of my icons. Admittedly, some of 'em are kinda basic, but there are ones in there I spent an hour or more on. Other than that, save as many as you want on your harddrive. That's fine. Same goes for stories, art, whatever.

I just don't know how you'll react to anything I say, even if it's a "hey! this is nifty!," so I just went Rachelle because she made the thing and I thought she would probably know.

Even during our little duke-out in the earlier post, I had been courteous to you -- I was as gentle as I could possibly be in giving you my opinions, and while they probably burned your ass in major ways, I certainly felt justified in giving them, particularly since you took a potshot or two at me over my complaining about the whole 'MST3K slash' bullshit in the first place (in which I was polite enough not to name names, or post certain parts of said convo on my own journal). I've always been polite, though I'll agree I'm rarely outgoing towards you. Never once, when you've commented or asked a question have I *ever* been impolite. The only time you had my wrath brought down upon you was when you took a potshot at me over the Orrin Hill post on my journal. And that was poor form, MSP. I even regretted somewhat that I was harsh there... but I figured that you brought that upon yourself.

When you took a shine to that one icon of Joel, didn't I tell you to take it? Really, now, looking back -- when did I ever treat you discourteously when you didn't *start* the fight?

::waves it off:: You and I have some very fundamental problems, namely how I view your work and your philosophy to a fandom that I'm insanely (and admittedly, rather irrationally) protective of. Sometime, when I'm not having a gruesome day, I'll explain why *exactly* I have problems and I'll even cite my sources -- and I'll do so gently, as well. Until then, I'm much happier pretending that your writing doesn't exist, or that of your groupies, and that's better for the both of us... believe me.

So here's the deal: Let's be go back to being polite to one another. If you want something, have a question or otherwise, ask. I'll return the favor.

Deal?

One thing before I say deal:

That comment wasn't ment as a potshot at all. When I said you shouldn't have to bribe people, I ment that you shouldn't have to bribe your aquantince list after you appeal to their love for you, because after you made that request they would have already decied to vote, deaming the bribe unneccesary - not wrong. I never ment to say you were wrong, I never ment to say that anyone was wrong, and I'm sorry that it sounded that way.

Okay. Deal.

In which case, I apologize for interpreting it as an attack, and snapping back at you.

Glad we got this worked out.
