It’s probably been whole _weeks_ since we’ve done this. [Here’s mine](http://img409.imageshack.us/my.php?image=arsssex3.png). I copped the wallpaper from [here](http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Kamakura_Takedera_03.jpg). ---

I’ve been getting my (widescreen) wallpapers from [this guy’s site](http://exoteric.roach.org/bg/index.html). His hobby is making cool looking flame fractals, and he oftentimes makes wallpapers of them. Currently, my wallpaper is [Sorrow](http://exoteric.roach.org/bg/bgal14.html), second to last on the page. ---
