Some things
- AZ 2012 is days away. So. Very. Excited. Both for the train trip (which I love) and seeing my girls. I never did finish my crash course for more recent anime/manga, so I'll be just as clueless as last year, but hey, I'm there for the company and pretty, pretty cosplays.

skew_whiff drew some amazing lovely things for my FFV prompt at ![[profile]](https://imgprx.livejournal.net/fe0c7553fa5052cb20ad8f758a9b59b52e07959f8f0c28be5d07bb87fbf3a848/P2WlxyVijxKvgW9t9slWWUMdsf-ah7h0yFmVCbZBitHe5BHQgcnrB1ghT056GQJiv05e0zTaZg1RFEYV0g0o-lRBm3nIevQ:OKFOuBVT5CeLTxivk9OO4Q)
camp_toccoa. All my BoB peeps, esp those who love the Philly Boys, Harry and Kitty, and Lieb and Web MUST go check it out. I'm still sort of in awe over it all.
...and thinking about writng a greaser!au, but hell, no surprise there.
- I'm pretty much admiting to the fact that I'm drifting into the Spartacus tv series fandom. I watched the show on/off before the most recent series, but now I'm all overly invested in the lives of Nasir, Agron, and Naevia. And looking for all the aus in the world where Duro lives. I'm also kind of fangirling over Saxa and Donar. B/c Starz won't let me give them my money for the recent episodes (they only offer them off the network and some comcast xfinity b.s.) I'm having to make do with vid clips and fanvids.
I'm even willing to put aside my historical elitism for the show. Which, considering I was all about the Classics until the last year of my BA says a lot. (It took me AGES to watch Rome and that was even after one of my profs talked about enjoying it despite some of the issues. And he was one of the friggin' heads of the Roman Aqaba Project.)
It's just nice to see a show with multiple PoC, women, and m/m relationships without it all being a very big deal or some kind of "very special episode." So while on the one hand, the show is just a sex and blood fest made on a not-so-high budget (compared to other companies like HBO or Showtime, or even AMC), on the other there are some pretty deep layers.
- Work and mother nature have put me beyond mentally exhausted these past two days. Thursday was worse than most major holidays for me and the closing accountant. I pretty much left the store cursing a blue streak and near in tears. Last night wasn't all that much better, but b/c I'd already pretty much mentally checked out, I got through the last two hours of my shift.
I'm just going to try and relax today and tomorrow b/c it's going to be non-stop for the next two weeks, with the trip to Raleigh and a 10.5 hr work shift coming up.
-This month has been horrible for me writing-wise. Between work and family health issues I can't ever seem to find the time to get relaxed enough to write anything.
-Which, on that note, I'm going to take a nap now. My avg. sleep has been between 5.5-6 hrs (if I'm lucky) and that shit has got to stop.
