Avatar!

All weekend on my MacBook, I could see no LJ icons, period. The little 'page loading' circle kept spinning, like it was trying to load them, and all other graphics displayed just fine, but not LJ icons. I tried clearing my cache, to no effect. Up until then, I'd only had this problem occur - much more sporadically - on my work PC. I'd sort of half been wondering if our work firewalls were somehow blocking all the little LJ icons for some reason.

Turns out, that's not the case. I can only imagine this must be some problem specific to LJ, somehow, and now, this morning at work, I am viewing icons just damn fine. I wish I could check my laptop and find out if it's now allowing view of them as well. It's really distracting and all kinds of annoying when I see a bunch of blank squares on my f-list, I've discovered. Userpics/icons are one of the chief things I love about LJ, so this has been annoying, to say the least. I did turn in a question about it to LJ support yesterday, so maybe this morning's reappearance means the icons are back for good, I don't know. *hopes*

I saw new Avatar over the weekend. DUDE! ( Cut for spoilers re: The Boiling Rock )

I did some jewelry stuff over the weekend, but nothing I'm ready to post about yet. And some writing, which is what I need to get cracking at now.

ETA: W.T.F. livejournal?? Now my icons have all disappeared again. *hates*
