we know every mile, every foot, every inch of the way

Things I really want to be doing:
-designing a Wonder Woman costume for Project Rooftop
-top-secret Eroica fanart project
-Mulan fanart. (Just rewatched it last night. Love it. Hate the Disney Princess promotion, and its effect on Mulan fanart on dA . . .)
-Monstrous Regiment fanart
-more Eroica fanart
-Teyla/Dr. Keller fanart
-reading Teyla/Dr. Keller fanfic (why is this apparently nonexistent?)

Things I really need to be doing:
-writing my yuletide fic (and not panicking so much, it's mid-November)
-working on my go_exchange submission (that deadline isn't too far off)
-working on my original comic projects
-y'know, looking for a job and an apartment and that (a job so I can have Photoshop again!)

Well, one way or another, I really need to stop reading so much Eroica fic and work on something. Such a slacker.

Bionic Woman doesn't look the least bit interesting tonight. Meh. (And while I'm at it? Heroes, you suck at the women, so much. For goodness sakes, Stargate: Atlantis is doing a better job!) I'm quite tired of my sudden inability to be interested in utterly male-centric shows, even though I think it's the "right" attitude to have in many ways. I could have these good feminist opinions and at the same time somehow manage not to be constantly frustrated. That would be nice.

(Why Eroica is such an exception to my woman-less-ness frustration, I do not know. I want the next volume already; it brings me such joy, and so much of the fic I've been reading lately is depressing. Why on earth is there so much angst and even deathfic for this of all fandoms? At least I have mosellegreen's daily series of "Fabulousman" ficlets to cheer me a bit.)

Pfft. I'm gonna go catch a bus downtown and pick up Gail Simone's first issue of Wonder Woman. Eee.

Oooh, I would be very excited if you drew Mulan fanart!

(I don't recall if I've mentioned before, but I love your style and I'm crap at saying anything other than "ooh, pretty!" about art, thus the lack of detailed comment. Also, it makes me inexpressibly happy that you've drawn Tortall fanart.)

I probably shall . . . eventually! Once obligations have been discharged. ^^;

Aw, thanks very much. ^^ That's lovely to hear! (Gee, I haven't drawn Alanna in ages. Oh dear.)

Your song...is that the one that goes "fiften miles on the Eerie Canal..."? If it does, I might know it. If not, I have the one I know now stuck in my head anyway. XD

I've got a mule whose name is Sal
Fifteen miles on the Eerie Canal!
She's a good ol' worker and a good ol' pal
Fifteen miles on the Eerie Canal!

We've hauled some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal and hay
And we know ev'ry inch of the way
From Albany to Buffalo

Etc. Yes. :) Sang that in college . . . it had some great harmonies, and I actually found it really difficult because it was so fast.

Too funny. I just know it from a WeeSing tape of American patrioticly related songs. Sweet Betsy, John Henry, You're A Grand Old Flag, etc.

It would be lovely to see some armoured-Mulan art, wouldn't it? I mean, since that's how she spends most of the film and all. Why there isn't a Mulan doll that comes -with armour- I have no idea. Or at least in her semi-practical outfit from the end of the movie - you know, the one without the water sleeves that prevent her hands from being useful. Eesh. So, uh, rah.
