✿ I just realized that, since Monday is off for the stat, and Friday is off according to my regular schedule, I'll have a four-day weekend. Nice! *_* I don't know if I'll do anything useful with this free time, but it's so nice to have - especially since the current week is a little bit stressful.

✿ Speaking of which, I stood in for the receptionist yesterday and Did Not Die. What a relief. It actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to do that job on the regular.

✿ Another one of my fics has been translated into Russian! This time it was Two Under One Sky, that Mad Max+Hetalia crossover that I wrote a few years back. The translation is over here. Ahh it always makes me so happy when people enjoy my works enough to translate them. <3 <3 ...Oh, and this reminds me that I never did write a sequel to that, even though I really wanted to. I should, some time, because for some reason Max/Australia is something I need in my life, I don't know about you.

✿ femslashex is in the noms period until Aug 10th, if any of you are interested. I think I'm going to sit this one out, since I'm feeling a little burnt out, but the tagset is really tempting so far. Maybe I'll keep my eyes out for treats. Or things to request for ToTEx when noms open for that. (The Seventh Bride, for example... I came away from it with such a craving for Maria/Sylvie.)

✿ Oh, speaking of Ursula Vernon's works, the print version of The Raven and the Reindeer is out now*. *_*!!! I ordered it, of course, because even though I've read it in electronic form, I so much prefer print. Ahhh I loved this one, and I'm really looking forward to re-reading it.

☆ femslashex is a fic/art exchange for f/f pairings, and it's currently in the nom period. Tag set is up if anybody wants to take a look. Me 'n some folks from ssss put our heads together to throw in a bunch of noms for A Redtail's Dream and Stand Still Stay Silent. Signups begin August 28th, and at this point, I'm not actually sure if I'll sign up for it. I'm on the fence about it - I've just done so many exchanges recently, and a break would be nice. But even if I don't sign up for this one, I'll definitely be eyeballing the signups to see if I can write some treats.

☆ My mate Anneliese got me listening to Tame Impala and oh man... they're pretty good. If you like psychedelic rock, or just good music in general, they're worth a listen, I think. Here, have the youtube playlist that I stumbled across.

☆ I. Have. FINALLY figured out how to put my hair up into a bun. Which shouldn't seem like such a feat, but I'm so terribly useless when it comes to doing anything with my hair, even though I've had long hair wayyy before it was trendy for guys to wear it like that (I've had long hair since I was ten - so, 20 years now - but I've always just worn it loose). AND FINALLY I just... got sick of not being able to do it. I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF. And holy shit, it's so nice to finally be able to get it off of my neck, seeing as it's so hot out. I wish I'd figured this out sooner. x_x Oh, well~

☆ Note to self: Get all the stuff signed so that you can mail in your passport renewal, you loser. ;V By the end of this week!!
