Reasons why this Monday is awesome
Jun. 25th, 2012 11:38 am1. Got my MPhil thesis passed last week with minor corrections! After freaking out about them for a little while (what do you mean, an extra half page of future plans for the project? How's about "NEVER THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN, EVER"?), I realised that the majority of them won't take any time at all.
2. The email from my previous supervisor that I was dreading (we uh, had a bit of an awkward relationship) turned out to be how my thesis examiners were impressed with the range and amount of work I'd done, and that he'll be in touch soon about getting some publications out of it. Lovely publications! \o/
3. Cake bake sale this morning. I have cake!
4. My Uncle Aquila backstory art is looking fucking awesome. Shush, I'm allowed to be full of myself from time to time.
5. I'm halfway through an utterly amazing Arthur/Eames Blade Runner AU and I think this is the most brilliant and gripping story I've read in a long time. I even woke up early this morning to read another chapter and while it put me in such a good mood, I have to keep reminding myself NO ZOE, SCIENCE TIME NOW. FANFIC LATER.
6. These photos on my Tumblr dashboard this morning. IS IT BATMAN DAY YET?
Dear Tom Hardy, that is a magnificent beard. Small rodents could nest and raise their young in it without ever being spotted. Please don't ever buy a razor.
I'm realising that I've taken a crazy number of things on this month. Here are all the things I've got to do, all of which have deadlines at the end of July:
1. Thesis corrections. Augh.
2. PhD literature review. Only supposed to be 3K, but I think it'll be over that. TOO MANY THINGS TO TALK ABOUT.
3. 2x Eagle Reverse Bang entries. Finished line art for one which I think will do until after it's been claimed, the other is still at the rough draft stage. Hope to have the line art done by the end of this week, and then it can also be set aside until after claims.
5. Sutcliff Swap. Have made a (very) rough draft and getting pleased with how the faces are looking. Uh... is there anyone out there willing to look over it and give me feedback on historical clothing accuracy/make sure I'm not veering dangerously close to MAKE IT ALL UP territory?
5. Finish Inception Reverse Bang piece. Shouldn't take more than a few hours, but I really want to draw a few more pieces for my two authors. Um... maybe when I have a few of the above crossed out, because that would be the sensible thing to do. But then, I am not sensible.
6. Entertain![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ninja_orange and demon_rum when they stop by!
Ack. Will resurface next month, I guess!
