Starting things off right with an insta-rec for -- and you have to trust me on this -- Smallville, Clark/Lex, to -- Dont cha. No, seriously, you have to watch this vid. It is utter crackheaded glory, Jolene-like in its splendor. Also, I've been really scattered in my watching of Smallville since season 2, and foolishly, I didn't think they could possibly get more homoeroticism in the show since then. I now see the vast and complete error of my ways.

I am back from Africa, with four stories in progress (which is four stories more than I really have time to be working on), and my vividcon vid done (the torturous agony exciting learning experience of working with high-res footage will get posted one of these days), and I am mostly recovered from illness and jetlag (though I am still waking up at 8am -- what is up with that?), and I am vaguely caught up with work, and... I leave for San Diego in five days! *facepalm*
I am impossibly behind on lj and email and will not even make a pretense of trying to catch up with everything I have missed, but I have to share two things that arrived while I was away --
laurab1 made me
a spectacular cover for
Ulterior Motives that totally captures what I was going for with the ending. Beautiful, beautiful lighting.
and
slytherindyke has made
an adorable manip of Rodney with Hypatia, from
A Beautiful Lifetime Event. ♥
The saga of life among the elephants deserves a separate post, coming soon, but if you are skeptical of this "africa" business,
cesperanza has already posted
some highlights from our trip. *g*
