Today's... No! This Year's Moods

So I spent the entire morning waiting for a repairman at my apartment, and now I've gotten a late start to the day and my brain feels... mangled. Like I don't know how to jump into the day. Everything's outta whack! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria! Oh, speaking of, here's Today's Mood:

Slimer (voiced by Ivan Reitman),
Ghostbusters

So I was planning on commemorating today's Today's Mood as the 365th one of these suckers that I've done - that's, like, a full year! - but then I was going through my archives looking at them all and realized that somehow I'd missed labeling several way back at the start, and we've actually already crossed that threshold. Boo! Boo on me! But, even if this isn't really #365, we can pretend and celebrate my unparalleled achievement all the same, right? Right?

Since I skip weekends and holidays, it's taken me longer than a year in real-time to achieve 365 of these; it's actually been closer to 20 months since the first. In that time I've been scads of serial killers and psychopaths, I've been a flying monkey, I've been a rabid dog, a felt frog, a child molester, and many, many other cinematic folk. But whom, pray tell, was the first? Way back on April 18th of 2006?


Of course it was. That's Preacher Kane from Poltergeist II, in case you're unfamiliar. Man what a creep. I mean him... but yeah, it surely applies to me as well!

And as long as I'm we're reminiscing, as I scanned through all of the Today's Moods I had the easiest of times picking my favorite one. Not my favorite movie character of all time, or even the most beloved character that I've done for just these Today's Moods, but rather my favorite of the designs that I came up with:


I looooooove that; it makes my toes curl. It's just... perfect! I say so! Ahem. I also love the fun lay-out for Friday, April 13th, 2007.

So yeah. 365! (... or so...) Whee! What does this mean? Well it means I'm awesome, of course, but what else? It means I'm taking a break from these. I think we can expect the daily dose of Today's Mood more often than not, but there are days here and there where I find it really, really difficult to think of one and if/when that happens, from here on out, I'm not going to twist my arm into doing it. Quality trumps quantity at last! Hurrah! The war has been won!
