ottersquee!

[aesc]

.quick reminder! Sweet Charity closes tomorrow, so if you would like something fannish or something handmade (or possibly both), head over and bid! I know a bunch of my flist is on there (telesilla, anatsuno, animotus, smilla02, semielliptical, and chandri, just to name few) and you can't go wrong with any of them. You can tell because of how I have been outbid on a few occasions *grumbles* Anyway, go here for graphics and here for fic and track me down under aesc--or track down anyone else--if you are so inclined ♥

Now, the real purpose of this post: OTTERS!



In other news: I got some pretty good and exciting news today about a project I've been working on (it could be a book! There might be something for me to do after my dissertation!), and it was so awesome and exciting I decided to do very little for the rest of the day.

That is one vicious baby otter right there. He is DARING you to come closer so he can give you a demonstration of his vicious ninja otter skillz.

Congratulations to you about the book! That is very exciting.

Thank you!! Sadly, the congratulations will not be due for a while yet... It still needs to be written :D But the fact that there is a project. I mean, I had an idea! That no one else has thought of! The ideas are the hardest part of research and writing; the next hardest part is realizing that the totally awesome idea you just had has, in fact, been thoroughly studied by someone else. Close behind is the spine-knotting tension of praying that the totally awesome idea you just had hasn't been thoroughly studied by someone else.

(Fortunately, so far, I am in the clear. Now people just need to keep their grubby hands off it for the next several years.)

And ohhhhh baby blankets!!! Are any of them for sale, perchance, or are they all spoken for? A friend of mine is having a baby girl in July and I just realized I should probably find something adorable for her.

Yez. And if you were to put your pointer finger on his forehead to help keep just out of reach of the ninja skillz... he'd totally bite ya.

I shall keep my fingers crossed for you! You shall have friends circled around you to hold your hand and talk you through, and cheerlead, and I am sure that you will find totally awesome things with your totally awesome idea that have not been thoroughly studied yet. You will!

I have to get two of the blankets done for soon-to-be born babies, but the others I have planned are for already born babes, so if you're interested, a blanket knitting could be arranged. We'll talk :)
