North and South Chapter 18: Thornton's sister starts to notice Thornton's Epic Crush on Margaret -- mostly because he's always taking about her. God, could he be more obvious? :P Also, the following:

"'Mother,' said he, stopping, and bravely speaking out the truth, 'I wish you would like Miss Hale ( Read more... )

Happy Halloween, Flist!

In honour of the occasion, I attempted to do some kind of Celtic-knotwork-style Halloween drawing. It came out less Celtic-knotwork-y than I originally intended (I did try; it didn't look right), but I think it looks kind of cool.

I had a not-so-minor freak out today, because of my dissertation. The final title has to be handed in on Wednesday; I still haven't seen my supervisor about it, and I'm dithering over whether I even like my title now. (I'm thinking that it's too broad; maybe I should do something about how the treatment of Lancelot/Guinever/Arthur himself [I'm ( Read more... )

*deep sigh* I'm feeling rather ... down-and-out. I've had (another) totally unproductive day. I need something to spur me on to get me back in my writing groove. Not being able to write is frustrating and depressing ( Read more... )

OK, you remember the canvas I was painting for the Fine Art Society Summer Exhibition? I've finally got around to photographing it. :)

WARNING: Six very large images under the cut. Not even remotely dialup friendly.

This entry is catalogued into, like, differnet sections because I'm lazy and it's a looooong post. Sorry. I have lots to update you guys on.

The Canvas:

I stayed up all night on Saturday to finish it. I may have mentioned this. I have a series of Work In Progress photographs up at my DeviantArt account, if you'd like to take a look. Final piece ( Read more... )

But before I do that: Zachary Quinto. I do not know what is going on in the man's head that made him think that doing this was a good idea. (WARNING: The link leads to a YouTube video of Zach Quinto being drenched in milk. Or, at least, we hope it's milk. Um ( Read more... )

As promised, Work In Progress shots of The Canvas. (Which will probably be called 'Durham', but for now it's just The Canvas.)

( Two Large Images Under The Cut )

The lack of updates recently is due to the fact that I've been unbearably depressing for the past few days, due to angsting over (in no particular order):
BigBang
The Fine Art Society exhibition piece I'm attempting to finish
The lack of Scotty/Chekov fanfic and the lack of a response to my kinkmeme promptHaving to trapise to the library for a(n ( Read more... )

OK, so. The cold that I thought I was getting over? I wasn't. It got worse last night, and this morning I felt so crap that I just ... stayed in bed until 1pm. :( It wasn't fun. I tossed and turned and couldn't get comfy and couldn't breathe and got too hot and then get too cold ... It wasn't nice ( Read more... )
