Basically I've been alternating between being distracted and writing on my original projects. Rather than bore the f-list by rehashing what I hashed at
Intentionally Left Blank I'll just provide links.
Jan. 23rd: Bad News, Invitations, Punishments, and Insights Feb. 4th: January's Done Feb. 10th: The Shining Analysis My vacation expense budget has been approved, my time off has been approved, so next weekend I'm going
here and hang out with Robin Hood, Maid Marian, and the Bedlam Bards. And see my sister when I crash at her place and shanghai my new powder monkey, er, okay, my nephew for anachronistic fun! SQUEE! So this weekend will be a fun mix of sewing and writing, which I'm fairly sure is a new mix for me.
And for Oz/Tin Man fandom:
io9 found the creepiest and slashiest Tin Woodsman and Scarecrow images ever. And the ones of Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion raise eyebrows too. I don't think I've ever been so divided in my reaction to costumes before, but I don't want to spoil the surprise. Check them out and tell me I'm not just imagining it.
