a brief account of the week of one kristin o. lastname, age twenty and four

[kristin]

People, why is my life so very boring? Please don't answer that, for I fear it would result in a vicious cycle of tediousness.

Instead, let's talk fannish happenings. And since I do so very much love lists, I am employing the trusty bullets.

• The season of big bangs has commenced! Feel free to make dirty jokes about banging and big things as you please. This weekend I finished art for two claims, one for the first round of thesocialbbang and the other for sncross_bigbang. (Yes, I officially failed at writing for the latter, so claimed an awesome fic to make art for instead.)
  
  I also have two more fics in my possession in need of art (for spn_j2_bigbang) for which I have plans and ideas. So many ideas! (And also, awesomely, lots and lots of time until they will be posted.)


• Relatedly, lend me your ears! Or rather, lend me the thing you listen to with your ears, aka music! While putting together mixes I realized my music collection is in need of a good turnover. What are you listening to these days, oh wonderful circle of friends?
  
  I (obviously) have been listening to Lupe's new album. (You should have seen my face when Lasers leaked. It was like :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. Only happier. And not actually an emoticon.) Sadly, it did not quite live up to my expectations, though truthfully that would have been very hard. But I still recommend it, as well as all of his past catalog.


• This week marks the ending of most of the shows I follow. I am considering doing a roundup of this TV season and why I started/stopped/continued watching certain shows. However, I think I would need to break out my Teal Deer Crossing sign if I did that.
  
  I have been following the ongoing Upfronts, because, yes, I am that kind of a TV geek. I am super excited for Awake and Alcatraz, and kinda meh about all the other announced new shows so far. I have very mixed feelings about the fact that NBC declined to pick up Wonder Woman. Gimme fantastic female superheros, please and thank you. On the other hand, well, script, costume and David E. Kelly involvement all pointed to awful television territory.


• Lastly. Here is my in-depth critique of this week's Doctor Who.

Do you have a last.fm, or something? I can usually work out good music recs for people from those :)

[kristin]

Sorry for how long I took to reply. No pressure on finding me great music, just looking for something new.

I actually don't use last.fm, keep meaning to and then defaulting to listening to Pandora or my ipod. Anyway, I like an odd mix of music, veering from very popular hip hop and pop to obscure and indie. My current most played artists are Kanye, Lupe Fiasco (who is my favorite artist of the past few years, even though Kanye West is totally my favorite fandom), The Antlers, Christina Perri, Robyn, Mindy Gledhil, Rhianna, Those Dancing Days, Paul Simon, Marina and the Diamonds and Fight Like Apes.
