Hm, [personal profile] selenak just rec'd a yuletide Twin Peaks fic. I have a bunch of SGA fic printed and ready-to-read but I might squeeze that one in first. I had a quite obsessive love for TP, the only reason I wasn't in the fandom was that I didn't know about fandom. Or the internet.

I'm about to head off to the gym. Man, I've waited four long days to say that. I'm really not a fan of public holidays, especially several in a row. On the 25th it was raining all day and *everthing* was closed so we were stuck inside the house all day. (At least I finally got my portfolios sorted through). On the 26th I put on my rollerblades and made my way through icy sludge, gravel, and salt water but after a mile I gave up, came back and put on my running shoes. Running was also kind of adventurous with all the remaining icy patches. Yesterday I had a pleasant birthday with an extensive brunch and a trip to the climbing center. It really helped me over the whole turning 40 thing to climb two mean-ass routes with overhangs that I've never mastered before. \o/

Saw this linked on my flist: The 40 Worst Rob Liefeld Drawings
Warning: awful art inside (Awfully sexist too)
This induced giggles as well as rage. I admit, it really pisses me off that an artist with so little grasp of anatomy and, well, everything else, has a successfull career and makes millions of bucks while countless artists who could kick his ass on the drawing front have to struggle to make a living.

Yeah, I feel a sort of bitter and baffled envy whenever I see people making money with something even though they are horribly incompetent at it. And yet paid. I mean, I can be incompetent too! Only nobody gives me money for it. It's really quite unfair. :( I suppose some people are just really good at marketing themselves or something.

Wow, those Rob Liefield drawings are hilariously bad. Especially the very first one -- it seriously makes me wonder if he's ever seen a real, live woman. The snarky commentary's brilliant, though.

I was so happy to get back to the gym yesterday. A couple of days of Christmas excess and all I want to do is move about again.

...I've owed you email for, like, EVER. Sorry. :(
