Star Wars icon! If you didn't get this, you fail. Made bycupiscent; the small font in the background is lyrics from an Augie March song: They married, a dandy and a back-alley tough. (Look, I did not make the icon, but I'm not sure I'd argue that, because seriously, have you seen the movies? Or read the comics? Or the books? Or been on the Internet at all in the past decade?) Anyway, it's Anakin and Obi-Wan in their prime -- young, and golden, and fighting, and heroes. Which, one hopes, is how they're remembered, because God knows they were heroes until the end.
Beauty and the Beast, dude. Specifically the Disney musical, since that's where Lumiere, the candlestick, makes his appearance. Funny, funny character -- he's a flirt and he's funny and he's got this slightly deeper shallow side, but that's how he rolls. And he's a darling.
Band! Band, baby, band. The pic's from my first year of marching, '03, and it's a really gorgeous pic that my band director took. Because marching is like that, you know -- it's a lot of hard, slogging work, but then there's a moment where it just clicks. You're out on the streets for three hours into dusk, when it's hot and when it's cold and when the wind is blowing you sideways, but you're there -- and there are those moments when it's just worth it.
bari sax: My main instrument. The proper name is baritone saxophone, and it's the lowest of the three common saxes (alto, tenor, and bari). The bari is a big honking instrument -- my case is about four feet long, maybe a foot and a half wide, and a little less than a foot high, laid flat on its side. I call my bari Baby.
Jack O'Callahan: Character from the movie Miracle, which is based on the real-life Miracle on Ice of the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York (Miracle also stars Eddie Cahill, a.k.a. one Detective Don Flack). OC is played in the movie by a very cute hockey player whose name I cannot actually remember at the moment, and he's one of my favorite characters as well as sports heroes -- right before the Games began, he was badly injured in a game against the Soviets. The coach, Herb Brooks, kept him on the team despite the chance he might not be able to play if the U.S. made it to the finals, and he didn't -- until the U.S. reached the finals against the Soviet Union. We all know how that story ended.
Winchesters: Dude. Jensen Ackles. And Jared Padalecki. And the supernatural. Also, guns and violence and things that go bump in the night. And you know me, cute boys. Can it really get much better than that? Oh, yeah. Plot. Arcs. *drools*
