My goodness; applying for jobs is nearly a fulltime job all by itself! Fortunately I'm still working, but that means I get to spend most of my weekend searching for potential employers and writing e-mails. I hardly have time left to play with my new smart phone and there is still so much to explooooooooooore. I'm trying to learn at least one new application every day;)

Speaking of apps (I totally know the lingo, ha) I've discovered an awesome one for fanfiction. It's for Android and ad-supported, but I've only had it for a week and I'm already addicted because it turns my phone into an e-reader. It's called Codex Fanfiction Reader and it lets you search and save stories from Fanfiction.net, FictionPress and (most importantly for me) Archive of Our Own. I love it! I fill my library when I'm online and get to read offline while I'm on the bus to and from work, it's brilliant. Thanks to impalaforthree@tumblr for the tip!
(Y'all probably already knew about that one, I'm a newbie after all;) If you know of apps I should definitely try, let me know.

Related to AO3: The Organization for Transformative Works is doing a membership drive. You can make a (one-time) donation here.

Speaking of donating, [livejournal.com profile] fandomaid is running several campaigns to help victims of the earthquake in Nepal. There are loads of Buy It Now offers, but also a Fundraiser Auction and even a Custom Request section. Whether you're an artist or author who can offer fanworks or a reader or artcollector looking for an opportunity to commission, go over there to check out the options!

Only one week until the next Supernatural convention and I'm very excited, even though I'm not going to be there myself. The Winchesters will be united on stage again and I will be living vicariously through everyone at Asylum14 in Birmingham, eeeeeeeeeeeek. (I'm hoping someone will ask JDM that ptsd/Vietnam question combo again now that he has had time to think about an answer. I also want family snuggles;)

Of course as an artist, I'm also counting down to next weekend because of [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang; we get two days to roll around in summaries before claimday on Sunday, wahey!

Had meant to share a couple of photos after our latest family get-together in Amsterdam, but I only had time for quick birthday-posts in the past few weeks. My mom made some lovely shots of me and brotherdearest:
Haaaaaaaaaaaair )

Last but not least.... I booked flights to the USA! I will be flying to Cleveland in August for a roadtrip to Texas with [livejournal.com profile] tmn1966. I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS! FANGIRLING! ROADTRIP! *flails*

After being busy with negotiations at work this past week, I signed a contract of resignation yesterday. The countdown has begun: after almost 19 years on the job, I will be unemployed from September 1st. Obviously I hope to find a new job before then, but I managed to at least make arrangements to avoid an immediate crisis, I'm rather proud of that, considering the circumstances and rather unusual communication within the company. In between looking for work I'm going to focus on fun to keep going. So let me entertain you with a picspam...

I made such a ridiculous amount of photos in London, I'm dividing them into two posts. Part the first: architecture, shopping and a musical. (Click to zoom!)

Day 1: Saturday 4 April )

Continued in part two!

P.S. Did you see I managed to put a background on my phone? *giggles* (I hid it in one of the goodies-piles;)

Ugh, the job situation comes with a lot of paperwork today, so I won't be able to finish my new artpost as planned.
BUT! That gives you time to discover my latest artsy creation: Dear Neighbours.... Be warned: that artpost includes an extensive tour behind the scenes of the process:) (but also a link to fic, yay!)
