I know, I know. I've been doing nothing but tablet-spamming for the past, uh, month. That's mostly because tumblr ate my attention span, torn between that, my big bang fic and my sudden level-up in artistic ability meant I've stopped paying attention to LJ/DW like I used to.

Went up to Cincy this past weekend, my father had an audition for a part in the Ben Kingsley movie that's shooting in Northern Kentucky. It's a tiny tiny tiny role but does have a speaking line, so. (My father might be in a MOVIE dude what.) Came back early under threat of DIRE WINTER WEATHER; turned out we did not even get so much as a snowflake.

I am still stalled on chapter 8 (of ten) on my big bang. So close to the END. Anyone out there want to beta for me? This upcoming weekend is going to be a flurry of work on it; hopefully I will knock out the last 10k of words and start the epic revision process. (Given the fact the fic is due the first week of March, ahhhh.)

That's... pretty much it. Haven't been to the movies in a few weekends, I am SO BEHIND. Started watching Smash, enjoying it; The Walking Dead came back and makes me wince and yet I still watch it. NCIS/NCIS:LA/Justified/The Vampire Diaries/The Secret Circle are all still okay, no big changes of pace there. Supernatural... well, we'll see. I feel I'm still watching out of an obligation to, not because I truly enjoy the show any longer.

I am EPIC BEHIND on all my anime series. I finally caught up on Bakuman; oh god the cute. The squee. WHY ARE TAKAGI AND MIHO SO ADORABLE. I love them. I love Bakuman, considering how badly I hated Death Note this amuses me. I'm all caught up there, I'm only three episodes behind on Beelzebub (when did I start loving this show? I don't know. It's crack only rivaled by Gintama); and I'm working on getting caught up on Bleach. The episodes drag a little but for the first time I have no idea what's going on in Bleach and it's got my attention again, so that's good. Once I'm caught up on those I have about six other series I'm halfway through, then I need to pick back up on my anime marathon of DOOM. I stalled out in the "K's." I hope to be caught up on all my ongoings by the end of March - I do NOT need to lapse another six months lol.

Okay, and since I've wall o'texted about life the universe and everything, here is the (finished) artwork I've completed since last dump:

I will try to keep this as spoiler free for people as possible.

1) LKDJFA;SLKDFJSADNVMSDFGKALJFDSS.

2) I can't tell if I need a cigarette or what, jesus christ.

3) People were saying it was bloody, and violent. I thought they were exaggerating. They were not.

4) Julia is insane amounts of badass. I have a new favorite female FMA character. No joke.

5) The animation was amazing and felt strangely Ghibli-esque. The way the "camera" moved, the way the fight scenes were choreographed and all of it flowed really well. The character designs still feel really really weird, but they look fine in motion.

6) My brain has gooped out my ears. I'll have more coherent thought things later.

I have three chapters left and I will have completed my big bang.

Of course then I have to go back and revise it because I have just been wordspewing all over the world but. but. BUT BUT BUT.

THREE CHAPTERS. (And the epilog.)

THREE CHAPTERS.

THREE CHAPTERS.AND I WILL HAVE FINISHED WATERSTONE.

After oh jesus christ what seven years. SEVEN YEARS. THIS IS 2012. I STARTED THIS FIC IN 2005. TWO THOUSAND AND FUCKING FIVE. AND I AM THREE CHAPTERS AWAY FROM BEING DONE.

I cannot emphasize all of this enough I am sorry but K;JSDL;KFAJVSDFKGDS.

I AM GETTING SO DRUNK WHEN I FINISH THIS STORY YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

I am ridiculously excited that Hugo got 11 Oscar nominations, let me tell you. I know that it'll be the year of The Artist (which I still have not seen yet, shame on me), but I unabashedly loved Hugo.

Went and saw Haywire on Monday - I enjoyed it. Was not anything too spectacular or memorable but it wasn't bad, and seeing a woman be the badass character not because she's a woman but just because she is was nice. She wasn't overly sexualized and, generally, it was a lot of fun. Short, too. I love how it ended.

Went to Tennessee this weekend. Had a lot of fun. Saw Sherlock Holmes for the fifth time. (Shut up I do not have a problem.) Hung out with old friends. A lot of good times was had by all.

Working on chapter 6 of my bigbang. I'm past the halfway point with, uh, about twenty days to go? I CAN DO THIS. Then on to my werewolf bigbang, but that will be easier I think, mostly because I don't have seven years of OH GOD I NEED TO FINISH THIS FIC hanging over me. My biggest stumbling block right now involves a fight on a train. I'll get through it, though! I've also built a "new AU" although I'm not going to write a zillion stories in it - more like one longfic and I'll be done with it. :x (Of course it's RoyEd, do I ever write anything else?) So much to write, so much to do, tumblr ate my attention and I'm starting to catch up on all the anime I'm behind on.

Very, very behind on. Currently catching up on Bakuman, I'm only, like, eight episodes behind. 9__9;;

So I've been busy. How is everyone else?

So with the internet blackout going on, I am bored. (Many of my most-frequented websites are down; and the ones that aren't have already been read through to current.) Bored, bored, bored. Of course this has to happen on the slowest day of the work-week for me.

I am about halfway through updating [personal profile] trismegistus, so there is that. But I can't upload/update from work.

I apparently made a RP tumblr, not that I have the first idea what to do with it. Any ideas?

Catie is booooored.

* Phone: RINGS

* Mom: HOW DOES THOR GET BACK.
* Me: ...what?
* Mom: You told me to watch Thor and I watched Thor and HOW DOES HE GET BACK!?
* Me: I don't know, I figure that will be explained in Avengers-
* Mom: First Captain America misses his date and then THOR MISSES HIS THIS IS NOT FAIR.
* Me: I'm ... sorry?
* Mom: Loki makes it to Earth! How does Thor?
* Me: I don't know! I figure they summon him, or something-

Pick up the nearest book to you. Turn to page 45.
The first sentence describes your sex life in 2012.


“As was suggested previously, alchemy was the principal mechanism by which esoteric and occult studies survived in a continuous stream from the death of the last Neoplatonist magician, philosopher, and theurgist - Iamblichus - to the rise of the Templars.”

* My Father: Guess what I'm doing Super Bowl Weekend?
* Me: (sarcastically) Going to the Super Bowl?
* My Father: Going to the Super Bowl!
* Me: ... wat.
* My Father: Yup!
* Me: You're... YOU are going to the Super Bowl?
* My Father: Kinda!
* Me: Kinda?
* My Father: Okay, have you ever heard of the Maxim Girls?
* Me: ..........
* Me: ...like the MAGAZINE?
* My Father: YES! Your mother had no idea who they were.
* Me: ....so you're going ... to the Super Bowl ... with the MAXIM GIRLS!?
* My Father: More or less!


I... I don't even know any more.

I would assume my father is trolling me but I know he's not, he was hand-picked to go work security for the Maxim Girls party event thingy at the Super Bowl. So he's not attending as a guest, but going to work, but still...

[facepalm]

I need a stiff drink. And for my mother to remain blissfully ignorant about who the Maxim Girls are. And maybe a third stiff drink after that.
