Icon and The Doctor
Item One: This Icon
Last night I was reading through some of the tenipuri manga scanlations I have, trying to get a feel for that atmosphere (as opposed to the anime). And I came across this drawing of Kaidoh, from his Rokkaku match. Oh, I sighed, he's so lovely. So there was nothing for it but to make a red-figure kalos cup icon.
( how-to )
The inscription, HO PAIS KALOS, is found fairly often on vases and cups. It means "the boy is beautiful". You'll also see quite a lot of "so and so kalos" (I think they even found a cup or two with "Alkibiades kalos" on them) and I did ponder using KAIDW KALOS but I decided I liked this better.
Item Two: Doctor Who
I was ticked off to discover that the CBC premiere of Doctor Who isn't until next week. I was okay with being a few days behind the BBC releases but when it's over a week, it effectively cuts me off from any episode discussion. Unless I download it and I was going to be all good this time around and watch it on TV.
But I did download the premiere, because I'm on holidays next week. What fun!
( comments, not that spoilery )
Item Three: Trailer Park Boys
New season starts in April. Yes.
