behold! an actual post!
Nov. 15th, 2009 09:21 pmI'm working on art tonight because I have one more application left to do (WOOT), and I've come to the conclusion that I really need to be rich and/or influential, so I can hang out at the SPN set and take pictures of what I need.* This was a conclusion I came to with SGA as well, because there was nowhere near enough boys in civvies--and there certainly wasn't nearly enough orange fleece. On one hand, necessity teaches ingenuity, and I definitely have been able to do pretty much everything I've wanted to do, but damn it, sometimes I just need Castiel in something other than his trench coat.*
Anyway, as I said, one application left to go, and then I have to put together a practice job talk in the hope that a hiring committee somewhere will like me enough to maybe invite me to their campus. Then I get to escape for a week over Thanksgiving, and I am totally cancelling class to do it. God, I can't wait to get out of here.
While not suffering through the sado-masochist exercise that is applying to stuff, I've been amusing myself by contemplating Dean's fangirling of Dr. Sexy, and am being rather diverted by reports from ChiCon. (DAMN not having any money, I could totally have gone, assuming I'd worked up the intestinal fortitude. I'm fucking looking at you, applications and Big Boring Academic Convention In December That Will Sadly Not Involve Panels With Jensen, Misha, David, Or Joe.) I feel kind of weird reposting people's con photos, so I will just say YES to the three-piece and red tie. Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
Now I'm gonna go and do art. I haven't opened CS4 in a few days, so my poor tablet is all dusty.
* = and I don't just mean Dean and Cas making out. Sheesh.
* = like Dean's gray t-shirt, for example. Trin and I have discussed this at length.
