catching up

So, I haven't really blogged much in the last few weeks, just highlighting a few things.
I've been busy with work and fandom, and that's pretty much been it. Also reading - I did a lot of reading recently.
Soulless by Gail Carriger -- awesome and funny and really enjoyable.
The Magicians by Lev Grossman -- intriguing and painful and extraordinary and terribly sad.
I'm in the middle of Boneshaker by Cherie Priest, which is so far excellent.

Also on Friday Mom and Dad and I watched Neverwhere. I'd never seen it, although I sort of remember reading it, maybe. It was quite awesome, and also had a lot of really amazing guest stars.

I'm eating Mom's Thanksgiving leftovers and they're full of yumminess. But now thanks to Rose Tyler and my Doctor Who marathon, I really crave french fries.  Rose and her chips.  Geez.

Today I'm in the middle of Season Two of Doctor Who and have seen the latest episode of Merlin, plus Merlin: Secrets & Magic  (why isn't it a half hour like DW:Confidential, I ask you?), and The Real Merlin and Arthur special, which was hilarious. I want more of the footage from the driving, because that was where they spent most of their days. Also, I have now seen 3 out of 6 members of the Merlin cast guesting on Doctor Who. And I know that Midnight is coming up later.

I'm working on lots of art for holiday exchanges, but once those are turned in (mid-December), I'll be done for now. That means I'll be able to concentrate on my own projects again, yay.
I'm in a short course at Rice Continuing Studies as well, which has two more sessions, and for that I'm working on graphite pieces based on Merlin and the Knights of the Tarot. Hopefully soon I'll be re-doing them in color as well.

OK, back to drawing.
