Sometimes there's just not enough coffee in the world
I have been AWOL so often and for so long over the summer that I'm pretty sure that I'm just talking to myself on this blog now :( These things happen, I suppose.
I am soldiering through my writer's block. Last weekend I almost finished something that's been eating away at me for the past 6 weeks. I decided not to push it and give myself a good opportunity to edit the hell out of it (because it's a bit of a mess). Last weekend was also dark & stormy here, which is great for the writing vibes ;) BUT, it was also both my wedding anniversary and the beginning of the World Cup of Hockey, so I got easily distracted (BUT HUSBAND HUGS! AND HOCKEY!). God, I can't tell you how much I've missed hockey... and it's great to watch all of the kick-ass Canadian players all on one team (Price! Crosby! Stamkos! Getzlaf! Perry! Thornton! Burns! Bergeron! holy crap...)
Seriously, LOOK at this list:
And Team North America's pretty great too.
Work has been a bit of a nightmare now that OC has officially resigned. I really can't speak about it in detail at this point, but it has left me in a position where I no longer have any reliable back-up if I get sick or overloaded with projects. My anxiety level is higher than I'd like but there's not a lot I can do at the moment. I'm hoping for changes in the near future... we'll just have to see how things pan out.
In art news, I haven't done anything since spn_heatwave back in July, and now I want to get rolling with that again. I'm considering doing an entry for spn_reversebang, but am nervous to try. I've never really done a reverse big bang before and worry that what I come up with won't interest anyone (or, alternatively, attract a writer who ignores my prompt and just writes what they want while handwaving my art. It happens.)
And as if that weren't enough to eat my brain at the moment, I'm thinking about painting the kitchen cupboards and the bathroom. Both are in desperate need, but it will take a bit of effort (naturally, I have crazy, designer-y colour schemes in mind).
As a final non-sequitur, I was reading a website devoted to fonts from sci-fi films and found THIS:
Oh man... Letraset! Good times! My Mum used this stuff all the time for her design mock-ups in the 80s and I helped her with it when she had a ton of boards to complete. Letraset was the BEST (and really, the only way to easily letter something without hiring a graphic artist to paint it). Anyway, that took into the Wayback Machine hard so I thought I'd share ;D
