| Who wants a holiday card?? |
[12 Nov 2009|03:18pm] |
Okay well… I’ve been sitting back, watching all of my friends who have their acts together infinitely more than me make posts for holiday cards… My panic has been building as I’m becoming aware of how quickly time’s going to run out to get that done. I’ve been pretty lost for ideas this year. And also intimidated by the fact that I have a lot less space to make my cards in than years past (and I’m short a paper cutter ;___;) Meh.
Well, anyway. The internet was down at work all morning (and I just about lost my mind, sad how non-functional I am when I can’t check email and LJ every 5 seconds.) The hidden benefit of this is that with absolutely nothing to do on my lunch break I was pretty much forced to start working on my holiday cards. Okay, so I still don’t know what I’m going to do for the real part of my cards, but I did start making a bit of an omake to go with ‘em. Heh. Eheheheh. Okay I actually really entertained myself all through lunch just now and it seems tragic I had to stop fooling around and go back to work. (Oh and wouldn’t you know it the SECOND my lunch is over, the internet magically starts working again. So clearly I haven’t actually started working again yet as I’m typing this entry instead. Heh.)
ANYWAY. *cough.* Cutting to the point, it’s time for my holiday card post! I don’t know yet if I’ll actually pull my act together enough to send out cards of my usual style, or if I’ll end up panicking and just send out store bought cards. Hopefully the former and not the latter. But there will certainly be cards of some nature or other.
So! Here’s your chance to give me your address if I don’t already have it and you want to be on my mailing list. Or to let me know if your address has changed and you think I might have the wrong one. (That’s directed especially at you, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) a_execution.) layla_xd I need yours too.
Advance apologies if you find my cards weird.
*Comments will be screened. But if you don’t put any personal info in your comment I will unscreen it. You can also email or PM me.

Just a quick note that we're about to hit the road to spend the weekend in Connecticut. So I will be scarce/not around at all until Sunday night/Monday.
Happy Halloween everyone!!!

The Waterboys - Is She Conscious? |

Ah, hmmmmmmmm. I've been meaning to post for about 3 days....I felt like I had a lot building up to say. Now that I have time to write my mind is crashing, totally blank. Argle.
Last week plotbunny_tiff and chibi_trillian came over and were officially our first non-relative guests! Which was appropriate because I think we've spent more time squatting in their apartment than any of our other friends, ahaha.
On Sunday we went to the Renaissance festival. It was the last day of the last weekend, so shenanigans abounded. People dressed up in whatever the hell costumes they felt like, and not just ren-faire-ware, lol. There were Jedis...Klingons...cowboys...including a cowboy in a very non-authentic short skirt, looolll. I've been annually going to that renfest for literally over 20 years now and I'd never before shown up on a closing weekend (I'm always too impatient to wait that long to come.) I was highly entertained. The weather was really excellent too, although we had to slosh though yards and yards of mud (it rained Saturday.)
On our way there we stopped to buy pumpkins and then spent Sunday evening carving them.
Hehehehe. Oh I love October. Just standing on a lawn swamped in pumpkins was almost as satisfying as going to the renfest.
The mangy stray cat now has a cardboard box full of towels on our porch and is getting sporadically fed (two other neighbors are already feeding him, he has quite the racket going on.) We've named him Morgan. I guess he's adopted us...
( Morgan the cat. )
Tomorrow I'm turning in paperwork to open an IRA. I'm starting to save for retirement?! God god, when did I turn into such an adult???!! (and in truth I should have done that about 3 years ago already, bah.) It freaks me out a little.
I want to cospay Chigusa Senroh from Silver Diamond. I seriously don't have the time/energy/funds to start a new cosplay anytime soon *cough*ever*cough*. But that's my secret fantasy. I doubt it will happen.

Note to self: reaching over the burner in order to turn the coffee machine off is a REALLY bad idea.
So, yeah. I put my hand directly on the burner this morning… Cursing and pain ensued.
I learned: 1) I can be incredibly stupid. 2) I forgot how much burns hurt. Especially large surface areas on places that come into contact with everything. 3) I am incredibly grateful to have a Rite-Aid 2 minutes from my home. 4) Burn cream is a fantastic invention…5)….except that it comes in a bottle with a child safety lid. Which is a rather challenging detail for someone with a burned hand. T___T
And on a totally unrelated topic, I am incredibly offended by the asshattery of Baltimore City forcing Café Hon to remove their giant flamingo via ridiculous fees (that magically appeared after 7 years, wtf.) If someone actually organizes an Elvis/Flamingo march on City Hall I am so there.

Well, I keep referring to it, time to post photos of the main reason we bother going to Utah over and over again. To mooch the use of our friend's cabin in a tiny town named Torrey. Because nothing says fun in the summer like hanging out in the middle of the desert!
Yes those are cows. On Main St. ( Torrey <3 )

Okay...it looks like we're finally getting properly settled in. Most of our stuff is out of boxes, although it's not yet possible to unpack everything because we're still missing a piece of furniture or two. But we have our sofa now which makes a BIG difference. It is feeling like home to me now, instead of a cave of boxes that I'm simply camping out in, heh.
I've been very absent because the moving has been consuming all of my attention (plus we've only had internet access for a few days now.) I don't think I can manage to properly catch up on people's posts, but hopefully I'll be a little more present again from this point forward.
And now that I'm more or less 'back' I'm going to try to finish posting the photos from my trip.... (this isn't the end of them I'm afraid. but I'm getting there....)
