Okay okay. Stuff What is Happening! Now in Bullets because fuck prose.
That pretty much it. Life goes, and I go with it, at times plagued by the notion that there are far too few hours in a day for me to get everything that needs doing done. Like right now... the last thing I want to do is go to bed, but I am le tired. Stupid need to sleep.
- I have obtained Boomwhackers. And I love them. I love them so much I need the chromatics, and the bass set and the bass chromatics and the treble extension set and another set of bass tubes with octavators so they can be all super-bass. ALL THREE AND A HALF OCTAVES, I NEEDS THEM. And I need like two sets so I can do trills. Seriously, these things are awesome. and 8 tubes are perfect for a four person musical sword/dagger fight, as
cell23, the kids and I discovered. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how much fun the kids had with them. - Earlier on Saturday morning I met H and her husband for breakfast at Bridgeside Grille (which was quite good, I'll have to remember that as a decent breakfast joint for later) and also so they could buy my PAXEast passes from me, since the majority of the gang is staying home this year. I'm a little bummed about not going, but there is guaranteed to be one next year and its not like I've got extra money for swag. Also thinking I may give NY Comic Con a go this year - it's not like I need to find a hotel for that one, lol. But anyway, I got extra money for the week, and two cute nerds very happily get to go to PAXEast in my stead, so it's all good.
- It's hard to believe Tuesday was somewhat of a snow day. I say somewhat, we got a delay at work, not an outright cancellation, but that was okay, I had a productive morning. But now it's warmed up and all the snow's slushy and melty and yuck. Hell of a way to start spring. Which reminds me, arrrgh I need to start my garden stuff damn snow.
cell23 surprised me on Wednesday night by getting one of those awful Stouffers lasagnas that I not so secretly love. As a sort of thank you for that, I made orange juice chicken tonight. My house still smells delicious hours later. I wish y'all could smell it, and almost wish there was a way to tweet or embed a smell, but then I remembered this is the internet and Anonymous/4-chan would just flood the world with the worst odors imaginable... because this is why we are not allowed to have nice things.- Slooooooooooooooooooowly making progress on my new site. It had gotten to the point where I'd sit down at the computer and completely fail to work on it. But this week I've been forcing myself to work on it in fits and starts. Got sucked down the rabbit hole of open graph meta tags for a while, good times. *sigh* Also Pinterest is a thing that sucks all time from the universe never to be seen again. Also towards this project I have a new Twitter handle on top of the normal one - I do like to make the occasional public tweet, and since Twitter won't let you control the privacy on individual tweets (UGH WHY) it was either get another account, or subject the world to the horrifying amount I talk about butts, poop and stupid shit. But that's neither here nor there - it's starting to actually look and be something and maybe I can open part of it soon? *crosses fingers*
- The next three weekends are going to be hectic as all hell. Bell concerts, games, dates with the husband and visiting babies happen, next weekend is Easter kids and another bell performance, and then the weekend after that we're headed down to NY to visit Dad. With any luck I'll finally return from that trip with my long delayed Christmas present - which reminds me, on Wednesday I need to order the case I've been drooling over for months now.
