A barbarian chorus for kyleri

Since montuos has already posted the menagerie, ( here's a short excerpt of a song you probably know all too well... [cues barbarian chorus] )

mid-January update, plus new icon

While this is not a GIP, I did use the icon solely for the purpose of showing it off -- an anime/standup crossover. Upon first seeing it I totally sporfled, then swiped it as soon as I could see straight again. The icon is created by, and ganked from, cmzero, who implied it was free for ganking-with-credit where I found it (a comment thread in the get_medieval archives).

It's now the middle of January, and when the update last left off, it was New Years Day. Some stuff has happened in the past two weeks, I guess...

( Just After New Years )

( ...and the week-plus that followed )

This month has been a very fragile month in general, and the past several days particularly so. A minor but significant part of this is that there are too many people I haven't seen in too long; in the next six weeks I should get to see some of those I'm missing (among other things, University of Atlantia, BMDL Carnivale, and Noisemakers, plus possibly Birka if the schedule allows it), but I doubt I'll get to see everyone in NJ/PA/DE/MD/DC/VA on my "miss you" list, much less anyone further away. *sigh*
