To those of you who've signed up for rare fandom 'thons: is it a bad idea to sign-up for fandoms whose canon I don't know very well? Right now, the thought is "It's okay! I can play catch up and watch/re-read!" but realism tells me that this might not be the best plan. Thoughts?
* If you're following me on Twitter, you've seen me bemoaning a paper. Well, paper no more! It's done, it's slain, it's not even bad, and YESYESYES. I'll have to do quite a lot of work to catch up on this semester's course, which I've been neglecting shamelessly (good old "Dialogue with Erich From" is still in use, I see <3). But the case study/paper is OVER and I've not failed my course after all. (There were moments when I doubted.)
* Wrote that Stargate fic. Felt kind of "Eh" about it, one of those stories that isn't bad, but you feel haven't quite hit the mark on, you know? But maybe I should look for that feeling more often, because the story's been well-received by the fandom.
* Signed up for ballet and contemporary. Beginner's ballet is... not much of a challenge. I was in a beginner/intermediate class over the summer and was regularly challenge and even puzzled. It's not a bad thing to be doing the basics again, not at all (if nothing else, I seriously need the vocab refresher), but it can't help but feel a bit slow. On the upshot! I had my first Contemporary class today and it was AMAZING. So, so many hearts. I haven't yet met a dance style I didn't like.
* Am considering shaving my head in July! Ultimately, I think it's going to depend on how quickly I think it'll grow back out/impact on job interviews. Because I'd like to be employed and I think that I stand a pretty good chance of it, all things considered, but I'm not sure how a bald or nearly-bald head would be taken at a job interview :/ (Standards vary wildly across my profession, but the places most likely to embrace it probably can't pay me enough to live off of part-time wages, which I have to do.)
* THE WHITE COLLAR MID-SEASON PREMIERE. ALL OF THE LOVE. EL, MOZZIE, PETER, NEAL, ALL OF THEM
*You know it's an American reading your Anne of Green Gables audiobooks when "Premier" (as in a provincial leader of government) is pronounced like "movie premiere" and when the French Canadians sound like they're from the Bayou.
I've also done that thing where I like to listen to myself talk. Or rather, I did it a while ago for fandom_stocking and am only just reposting them now. Like a boss. LJ or DW. (Community femmeslash, Community/BtVS gen, Fringe gen.)
Expect more Stargate podfic in the future, because stargateland is hosting multimedia bingo and that's always a shameless excuse to make podfic.
