elabyPaper one (due a week from tomorrow): 22 pages that need semi-significant revision and a few additions
Paper two (due a week from Tuesday): 6 pages that don't need much revision at all
I think I'm not doing so bad.
I have this calendar (seen here, but mine is obviously a 2006 version) with drawings of fairies by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, which I bought up where my parents used to live (used to! HAHA!). The pictures remind me of late Victorian or early 20th century fairy illustrations*, and they all have captions like "Colette Gracefully Descends the Gossamer Thread" and "Bridget Cuddles Up Against a Fat Baby Kookaburra," all things which are just very obvious descriptions of what's shown in the picture. December's caption, however, is "Gwendolyn Sadly Considers Her Plight," and simply shows a fairy girl with drooping wings and her hand to her forehead standing in front of a moonlit lake. There's no indication of what her "plight" might be, unlike all the others, which had really apparent captions. It just struck me as kind of O_o as I turned the calendar to December a few minutes ago.
OMG, Gaia is so cute. I want to wander through the RPG stuff and see how silly it is.
*[edit: Dur, if I'd actually bothered to read the information in the link I put up before I posted this, I would have known that yes, the artist did her work around the turn of the 20th century. She was born in 1888 and had her first exhibition in 1916, I think, and drew stuff apparently while still in school.]
