Missed posting the Sunday Slash the Game challenge this week, and didn't do my entry for last week's challenge yet either, so skipping it until Sunday. But if anyone wants to play, there are collections on AO3. Hoping this week gives some characters I know a bit more about.

Posted a new podfic "The Year of Non-Magical Thinking" (Drarry, explicit, 1:30:00) the other day. I originally started it in October, then set it aside to fulfill some fest obligations, and then my family bought me a new mic for Christmas. So I re-recorded all of it with the new mic and now it's finished, yay!

First Figure Drawing class last night went well, after a very frustrating fifteen minutes or so trying to find 1) the building itself (I went around the block twice and into two different *wrong* parking lots before finding the right one) 2) the way into the building (I walked most of the way around to find the front door--all others were locked--carrying 10 pounds or so of art materials on a very cold winter night) and 3) the classroom once inside. I have a long way to go before I'll be happy with what I'm producing. Our model (male) had the longest ballsack I've ever seen, and I've seen a fair few men naked.

Haven't had (or created) an opportunity to work on my fic for a couple weeks now, and I'm starting to worry that I'm going to lose momentum.

ChoirChorus practice continues well. I still don't understand the distinction that people make on this: if a group of people sing together, aren't they a choir? Why are we a chorus and not a choir?

My parents are planning to come down for the concert in April, which I am pleased about: they have yet to see me/us perform. But ye gods and little fishes, do we have a lot of house cleaning to do between now and then.

Tammie has convinced me to join her in an online class called "The Dance of the Muse and the Critic" that's supposed to help engage one's creativity without all the self-negativity that can stopper up the flow.

What a difference a job makes! I came back to work yesterday after our holiday trip, and more than one person commented on the bounce in my voice. "You sound like you're about to sing me a song!"




I imported the music [livejournal.com profile] eternaleponine sent, and I'm currently listening to it...It's very cool, hon, thank you!!! I like being exposed to new things, but haven't had the money to spend on whole albums of things I didn't know anything about. When I have listened to it a couple more times I'll be able to pick out the songs I like best and I might have to get a few more songs by those artists.




Last Saturday, as Chris and Tammie were packing the car for our trip, the new neighbors across the street called out, "Didn't we see you at the Jonathan Coulton concert? Weren't you wearing a Santa hat?"

200 people at the concert, and three of them are the new neighbors! There hasn't been time to properly get acquainted yet, but it's promising...




As for 2007...I haven't done a year in review post and probably won't, but it was a pretty sucky year all round and I'm glad to see the back of it.
