Senshi and Pirates and Robots , Oh My!

Nowhere I really need to go badly enough to deal with Sunday buses, and nothing on TV all night.

So. Today has been a cleaning day, as we have yearly apartment inspections coming up soon. I'm not a messy person by any stretch of the imagination, nor do I overcrowd my apartment with room-mates (or use it as a grow-op/meth lab, LOL). But I don't do basic cleaning as much as I should, and I haven't cleaned my fridge/oven out in ages. Frost-burnt meat and expired conidments... yummy. Bathroom will be cleaned closer to the inspection date, as the darn thing never stays clean for long. >_>

I want to photograph a few thing to put up on Kijiji too; they've been sitting in a corner of my living room for about a year now, so I'm due to actually do something about them...

I'm also going to scan some pages from IDW's new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle series for Scans_Daily over on DreamWidth. I started with #1 in September...and promptly forgot to continue. Plus finish up/scan some sketches from "Sudden Swerve".

Why no, I don't procrasinate at all. *whistles innocently*


EDIT: I swear, if I get attacked by winter static one more frigging time today...! *rages*

I'm going to miss watching "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition". I really am...

And here we are again, the end of another year; 3 hours to go here. At times 2011 seemed to fly by, and then other times it seemed like days were dragging on. The world's changed alot this year; countries rose up, dictators fell, and it's still going on into 2012.

My life in 2011 wasn't nearly as exciting as that, but stuff did happen.

( The highs and lows )

...I completed 14 pieces of fanwork this year. Fourteen.

That's more than I did in 2009/2010 combined. I think it's the most I've done in a year since I started working full-time and living alone. I was afraid I was losing my love of art for awhile, afraid I was going to lose one of the only real hobbies I had. Instead, I found new muses in Raoul and Tracks, Piccolo and Sailor Jupiter, and drew. I even started writing real stories again, which I hadn't really done since my Sonic the Hedgehog fandom days, almost a decade ago (if you want a laugh, they're on my FF.net account).

I'm not going to pretend I'll ever have the same amount of fanwork as I did working part-time and having my meals/laundry/shopping done for me (that was living, I tell ya!), but one or two pieces a month? I'd be happy with that.

So. *raises a glass of Coke* Adios, 2011; may 2012 bring as many (preferably good) surprises as you did in the last 365 days.

...But not the apocalypse. I think we can all live without that little surprise. XD;;;

From the makers of Coraline, comes Paranorman. It hits theaters in August in the USA, and September in the UK (stupid early trailers, why must you tease me so?!). There's the US trailer under the cut, and an international trailer which shows several character's voices and a bit more about Norman.

( You don't become a hero by being normal... )

...Damn it, I'll probably wind up slashing Norman and Mitch (the blonde jock), because they kind of remind me of another weird dark-haired kid who dealt with ghosts and stuff, and another blonde jock...



No! Bad brain, BAD! D8

I begin my travels home for the holidays in about...*checks clock*...10 hours. Still have to do dishes, toss out my trash/the food in my fridge, charge my ipod, and finish packing stuff (including my computer).

And yet all I wanna do is veg, watch Storage Wars, and sleep. Go figure. =_=;;

Anyways, this will likely be my last post for a week (as my parents have crappy internet), so I'll wish my F-list a Happy Holidays!!

Hoopefully when you hear from me next week, I'll have some art/fic to share. 5 hours on a train makes for good artistic time. <3

So I caved, and made myself a 'stocking' over at fandom_stocking.

My fandoms and pairings are almost always obscure or downright non-existent, but I figured, hey, why not? I might at least get well-wishes (which may have to be all I give there; most of everyone else's fandom/pairings I have no knowledge of. D:)

I'd say 'stuff my stocking!' but that would sound greedy. And perverted.

So I was over at Fandom_Secrets, reading today's batch. Among them was one for the new Ai No Kusabi OVA's (that are, supposedly, finally coming out next year). Someone posted a couple screens of the originals (which are still gorgeous) with Iason and Riki.

And all I see now is Android!Tracks and Raoul in them. And yeah, I'm good with that. All Riki would need is longer hair, and Iason is more than 'perfect'-looking enough to be Tracks. It's hot.

But the idea of Track and Raoul going through the entire plot of AnK in the same way...the whole 'pet' thing, the resentments/reluctant emotions, the ending...Both of them have enough crap to deal with in my headcanon, I don't like them to be the sources of said crap to each other. I have a bad case of the fandom sads now. D:

Finishing shortbread cookies can wait until tomorrow. I need some happy, diabetes-inducing R/T to make me feel better.

*goes to find sketchbook and turn on her Tracks/Raoul playlist*

...

REALLY?

WARNING: CRACKYCRACKY CRACK CRACK.



I mean, they've never even been in the same damn episode; there's no proof they'd even met.

But they'd totally be the best human team up in Transformers ever. A strong, street smart punk that's awesome with machines, and a determined computer geek genius that doesn't let his disability slow him down? HELL YES. And they could build stuff together that may or may not blow up like Wheeljack's stuff! I blame this comic for sticking the idea in my head (it's even Christmas themed!)

P.S.: Most of these sketches are over 4 months old. They kinda hit the back burner working on Close Encounters and other fic...

P.P.S: Yes, I do have a thing for 'Opposites Attract' teams/pairings be thankful I didn't have them kiss...yet.

P.P.P.S:...I have no idea where else to x-post this to on LJ, if anywhere. XD;
