This is not drawing. This is also not laundry. Today was decompression time though, so laundry has been pushed to tomorrow. In the process of compiling this I realised the creative niche that vidding fills for me, which is being able to sort all my squeeful thoughts and say here are all the things I love about ____. With music attached. I always feel slightly weird about vidding since I don't approach it with any intention to learn the finer details of editing or crafting a strong visual narrative, but coming to understand why I vid makes me feel more comfortable sharing what I've made.

I also feel like all the classic and contemporary big band/crooners I've been listening to while working in the lab this semester was just preparing me to fall in love with this show. Also, OT3 much? Purr.

Guess who is done with finals, omfg.

Tomorrow I am going to celebrate by doing laundry. Which doesn't seem exciting, but I am down to the Clothes I Never Wear. Which is also a good indication of what needs to go in the donate pile.

ALSO I AM GOING TO DRAW. My god, am I going to draw. Later when I am a little less DONESQUEE, I will post some shots of my projects. I am pretty damn happy with them.

This is not the icon I was looking for (but is still very appropriate). This is also not the Daddy Prime you were looking for (more like bromance SHUT UP I LIKE THAT WORD IT IS ALWAYS RELEVANT). I would sadface, but I kinda like what happened here instead, and Daddy Prime will never die (so I'll write that later). Today is a bracket day! :3

Betaed twice (thankies!), and still edited to hell and back. I figure I should try to improve a little every time I write something, drabble or epic, but omg. SO HARD SOMETIMES. Working on original stuffs has really made me aware of things I used to plod blissfully on by. On the one hand, yey, but on the other, bitchbitchwhine.

Feel How It Feels
Transformers (Bayverse). Lennox/Optimus. PG (oh, innuendo, you let me lower my rating so). ~2100 words.
But Optimus said, "That would be helpful," and a weirdly pleasant warmth spread through Lennox's gut.

Evil twin has been flailing about White Collar, so last night I sat down to watch the pilot. Three episodes later, I am a flaily happy mess, aaaah, omg, SO CUTE. ALL OF THEM. AWESOME. Like, surprisingly well-adjusted while doing awesome things, and likable, and I am rapidly developing a m/f/m ship, I so am!

D: Cannot upload new NealPeterElizabethMozzieYay!icons. Must steal grocery money and buy more paid DW time. VEGETABLES ARE OVERRATED ANYWAY.

Somehow, I am writing robot daddy fic.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED.

Last night I picked up pasta for dinner from the cafe around the corner, and instead of working on our finals, J and I watched 5 episodes of White Collar.

In our defense, we were both too exhausted from work to do anything productive.

Also in our defense, we are addicted.

We will be saving the last ep for /after/ finals. I... I'm probably going to need icons. :x

It seems to me that when you actually manage to finish a story (and 'finish' here is going to mean 'I can't work on this fucking thing one minute more'), it should title itself. Self-titling stories, that's what I want.

And then, THE WORLD. MWAHA.

Or just a title, really. I'd be okay with that.

Doodled today because my renders in mental ray were choking my computer and taking forever.

( Sketchy kiss thing. )

Tip of the day:

When you're modding a fest and a participant emails you to tell you that she's upset over her gift because it contains elements that she had on her "do not want" list and she explains why Element X in particular upsets her so much, your response should not be to defend the writer of the gift by saying how the writer worked very hard on the story and had a different interpretation of Element X than she did if you want to generate good will and good PR.

No, this isn't about Snusa.

I'm ridiculously behind on my lighting final. I'd been struggling with a specific hurdle, and I got past that this last weekend, but since I was working so hard on figuring out wtf my problem was in only that one area, I'm now behind on all the other parts. Oops. I console myself with the fact that it's not part of my major, I just wanted to know how to do it and now I do, so I'm good so long as I pass.

My modeling finals, while running into a few issues that are mostly hardware related are going fairly peachy. I'm not going to get them as polished as I'd like, but considering that I was spreading my time between four classes and work, I'm pretty damn happy with what I've come up with.

Wednesday... zomg. Wednesday and I'll be done for six weeks with mostly online classes in the upcoming semester. I might be working full time, but omg that I can handle. This semester has been one long steady crush of too much to freaking do. I'm mostly caught up on all my CSI TV at least (we shall not speak of SPN). J and I are one episode of Fringe behind, but we might be able to sit down for that tonight.

And now I have sipped at my tea and my fingers are warm and I should get back to rendering. Cue flaily arms.

I have this sudden urge to write Breath of Fire porn. Whut.

I am so ashamed. D:

In surprisingly unrelated news, I finally watched Australia. Thank you, Mr. Jackman, for providing delicious eye candy, and naturally now all I want is fic where grown-up Nullah stops by the Downs to give Drover a blowjob or two.

This summer my husband, knowing my hatred for all things Twilight (sparkly vampires? SRSLY???) bought me a shirt that says "...And then Buffy staked Edward. The End." And then today I found this linked by annakas on LJ: Buffy vs. Twilight.

YES!!!!

(No intended disrespect of anyone who likes Twilight... Everyone likes/hates different things, so to each their own. :)

Hippie sex magic fic GO.

Tonight so far has included yoga, the DVD commentary for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, some very strange and random urge to clean the grout in the backsplash above my kitchen sink with a toothbrush, digging through the external hard drive and rediscovering the OST for Chrono Cross, my neighbour orgasming incredibly loudly, downloading anything and everything that involves Robert Downey Jr.'s face, and rearranging my attic while muddling over the issues of identity and existance in Chrono Cross.

Not sleeping is certainly productive, but not in that way where it's useful. I haven't gone to bed in three days now! It is very strange to subsist on random couch naps, lemme tell you.

Tomorrow is movie day, as Roomie's retroactive pay finally showed up, so we're gonna go see 2012 and The Men Who Stare at Goats. As much as I want to see both, I really wish Sherlock freakin' Holmes was out already.

In other news, I want to write fic but I don't want to actually write. This presents an obvious problem.
