luzulaCreative numbering, à la akamine_chan. *g*
2i) Tomorrow night I will be in Seattle! Aaaaah. I'm excited and a tiny bit nervous.
-4) I'm DONE with my grant application! *dances triumphantly in its entrails à la troyswann*
-8i) I recced Wilby Wonderful on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
crack_van in March; here's a list of the recs. Next up: due South. Fortunately I've prepared half of the recs beforehand, so I just need to copy and paste during the first half of April.
16) I'm excited about podfic for the first time in a while! I think it's partly because![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
amplificathon is starting up again, partly because I am finally free of the everlasting cold of doom, and partly because I'm taking singing lessons. The singing lessons are awesome; I feel like I'm finding support muscles I didn't know were there before. And it's spilling over into the podficcing, too. I've been slogging along on a hugely long podfic, and I've been feeling like I'm caught in a rut. But now I started recording some shorter stuff in other fandoms for Amplificathon, and it's fun! I feel more expressive and less awkward than I've felt in a long time.
32i) Oh, dear. I am not easily squicked, but there was a prompt on the Age of Sail kink meme about sea life in people's pants, specifically starfish. Starfish are voracious predators that latch onto their prey and digest it by turning their stomach inside out. Augh, not in my pants, thank you! (Yes, I know, the prompt was probably meant to be funny and I'm just taking it too seriously.)
-64) I'm listening to a Jules Verne audiobook. I read lots of his books when I was twelve or so, and I remember thinking they were exciting adventures. Now I just can't listen unironically. There are all these serious scientific Victorian men, and they are going to shoot off a giant cannon at the moon (which is explicitly called "she"). America is going to penetrate the mysteries of the sky. Ahem.
Okay, off to pack.
