I told myself I wouldn't post again until I had something useful, like fic or art, or something happy. Well, I sort of have art, and I do have some nice things.

Useful and cool thing: I have to tell you about my friend E (who is one of the numerous awesome people on my flist), who serves a low-income school in Louisiana and is trying to get a multimedia projector for classroom use. You can check her story out, and donate if you can, over at her donations page, which also more fully describes what she needs and her plans for it. Got $5? $10? However much? Please consider donating!

First fannish thing: This is not really art, but argh Photoshop has been unusually troublesome lately. Well, everything's been troublesome, no lack of ideas, but absolutely zero ability to execute. There are two art pieces buzzing around my brain, and yet I seem unable to get them to mesh... So, in the meantime, I fell on the most recent round of SPN 4.16 screenshots like a ravening, photoshopping wolf and played around with CS4's nifty photo filter and some textures.

Other fannish happy thing: @misha... I'm giving a PowerPoint presentation at a Vancouver event tomorrow discussing my treatise, "Anomic Vectors in the Postmodern Workforce." It should be interesting. If attending, please bring a pen, a piece of black construction paper, & an egg for the mind-control experiment. He makes my heart happy, y'all. IDEK.

RL happy thing: I had a cheering conversation with the advisor today. He's sort of relentlessly optimistic, but pragmatic, which helps take the edge off the worst of my pessimism when it comes to my chances on the job market this year. (I actually found a listing recently for a job that is exactly what I want, in the place that I want, and I'm putting together my application for it. Send good thoughts/blackmail letters to the hiring committee!) Also, the firsties acquitted themselves well in our first official discussion, which was a huge relief.

Okay, a couple of the comments in my post yesterday got me thinking about how tastily, deliciously noir Castiel's aura happens to be, so I opened up Photoshop again and pulled out the spnmedia images (so large, so hi-res, so nommable) I'd downloaded and put together my first actual picspam/ficturespam in, like, forever. (For the uninitiated: a ficturespam is part fic snippet or concept, part picspam.) And for those who missed the spnmedia post, here are some of the untouched screenshots, zipped up for portability. It's not all of them, but I'm sure someone somewhere has them all. The picspam is just the shots I downloaded from that particular post, so it's mostly Dean, Castiel, and Alastair; it's also a bit of musing on the noir!AU that is in my head, but because I'm lame, may never actually be written.
