Dare to be different and learn to be lonely

Pff, those were some worlwind weeks since my previous post. In between work being crazy busy (as usual;) I had a long weekend off for a theatre trip to London, including a night at the Leicester Square Theatre for Richard Herring's podcast; he interviewed Tim Key, who presented his book of poems, and Davina McCall, a hero of mine ever since her MTV days, she was so cool and gorgeous. I also met up with an international workfriend:) I shared a bunch of photos at my Instagram:
Part 1: Night Ferry / Breakfast / Undergrond / Rain / Black Friars Bridge / Exploring Bankside (Artsy:) / Shakespeare's Globe! | Part 2: More exploring Bankside (Winchester Palace / As You Like It at Shakespeare's Globe! / Golden Hind galleon) / King's Cross Hotel / IFO (rainbow swing) by IFO Jacques Rival. | Part 3: Saint Chad! (for the SPN RPF fangirls;) / King's Cross / British Library / Detail of St. Pancras railway sculpture frieze (The Meeting Place by Paul Day) / Skeleton at Liberty / Lunch at Mother Mash with G.

I received some great fandom news: after a process of over two (2!) years, the import of the Nick&Greg fic archive WMTDB is finally complete and the collection of over 2000 stories is now safely stored in our own collection at AO3!

I continued to play in Land of Art Phase 21: Challenge 10 was a Halloween/Autumn Edition Scavenger Hunt where we had to find specific images and create a whole bunch of spooky or autumny graphic designs. I dove into all sorts of monster and witches films and also rediscovered the Buffy and Angel fandom:-)
I managed to find all the required images/screenshots and below I'm sharing all the stuff I created; a mood theme, icons, sigtags, picspams, bookmarks, colorbars, headers, panoramas, posters, tumblr graphics and wallpapers!

( ALL THE THINGS! )



( MORE THINGS! )

With another businesstrip ahead of me, I may have to hand in some Golden Tickets for a few coming challenges to have enough time to do the ones I really want to do. Today I'm working on colouring pages, it's so relaxing getting out the pencils:-)

Since I'm spending a lot of time in old fandoms these days, I figured I would also treat felisblanco to some nostalgia on her birthday;)



( Some additional good times with Angelus and Spike... )
Have a great day :-)

Brotherdearest came over yesterday and I made a cauliflower-ovendish, which was delicious (if I do say so myself;) We talked about life, computers and traveling. He's going on a trip to Bangkok/Singapore/Indonesia next week and we went through my old photo-albums to check for places he should try to visit. I haven't been to Bangkok, but I spent a couple of weeks in Indonesia with the other brother in 1996 and had a three day stopover in Singapore in 2000 on my way to Australia (jeebus, was it really that long ago?). It was fun until brotherdearest felt it was necessary to mention that he was now the same age as I was in those pictures. Haha, little brother, haha.

Anyway...;)

Of course we ended our evening up in the attic to continue our everlasting Buffy and Angel marathon. We saw Angel S2Ep5 Dear Boy, which was AWESOME (Darla! Sexdreams! Lindsey minus hand (gosh, Christian Kane was wicked in that) & Ep6 Guise Will Be Guise, which was awful (a comedy episode that fell flat on its face, literally. Okay, Angel pouting that he wasn't a eunuch was quite funny, but the rest was yawn worthy) and Buffy S5Ep6 Family, which was all about darling Tara. *happy sigh* That was mm-mm good. (ETA: Forgot to mention the added bonus: baby Amy Adams!)

This morning we had a luxury breakfast before brotherdearest went home again (to host a big party). It was great. Can't wait for him to come back in a month and share his travelstories:)

Tara: Your insect reflection represents your insignificance in terms of karmic cycle.
Anya: It's still not funny.
