life would still go on, believe me

Oh, thank you, hometown radio station. This song will never again make me think of anything but Saved!. Not that it's really a bad thing.

Life suddenly looks ridiculously busy for the foreseeable future. October is full of visiting friends, not to mention Halloween. (I need to come up with a jack'o'lantern design! Also, I am now considering going as Wendy Watson. Maybe I can have multiple costumes.) November will have the election (WAUGH), any number of exciting new media releases. (Folie A Deux! Umbrella Academy! And, as I discovered on a routine check of the Oni Press website . . . new Blue Monday. Finally. :D), and Amanda Palmer. ♥ December has holiday exchanges galore, and also hopefully a trip to Europe to see the little brother, olivia_circe, and maybe sweetvalleyslut.

I really have to resist joining in on atla_slash_swap, don't I. :( Oh god, I'm so tempted. There isn't nearly enough Avatar slash around. (It's not a holiday exchange, but I have to get everything done early somehow if I'm flying to Strasbourg on December 22.)

Speaking of holiday exchanges, yuletart nominations end Monday, so if there are any fanartists out there who might want to contribute, get going! And there are finally signs of life from yuletide (I was getting a little worried). Cue sudden (and oddly unexpected, even after all this time) floods of excitement. I need to be much more conservative in my offerings this year, hmmm. And what should I ask for? I'm thinking The Middleman, although I don't know what characters/pairing (I would like to see some Wendy/Lacey, of course, but I'm oddly compelled by Middleman/Lacey, and honestly I could go for some gen).

And I'm babbling already. Life's . . . not as productive as it should be right now (hello, steps toward networking that I'm avoiding, original comics that I'm not drawing), but it's really fun. The I Don't Care video is amaaazing and would probably deserve a post of its own if I had the time. (Nuns! Naked Joe! Gabe! Alarming ending! Paaaatrick. ♥ Tiny Pete is tiny! I know that's nothing new, but still!) Also I'm on a steampunk kick thanks to _audrey and blondiusmaximus (see amazing fanart), just reread the entire Girl Genius archive, and keep doodling steampunk versions of old original characters. I've been working on intensityboat merch (coming soon to a cafepress near you). And work's kind of crazy right now, too.

Ahaha, yeah. Things are definitely going to get noticeably more multifannish around here for awhile, though there are definitely bits of bandom fanart in the works as well.
