Oh, I think, I should update, it's been a while.

Why bother, I think. Nothing exciting's happened. You're still depressed as all hell, in fact you know it's getting worse, but you don't want to talk about that. You haven't done all that much interesting, and I think people probably want to read about something other than your beads and your stepkids. Look, there's your tumblr, go reblog four hundred items of inanity, cute and social justice rage.

[couple days pass]

Oh, I think, I should update, it's been a while.

[repeat ad nauseum]

So yeah it's real fun being me right now, hooray.

Small things of note, or it's gonna be really hard to type for a minute because I just had a small cat commandeer my lap and arm as personal snuggle space:

Moonbeam continues to be better. (2 weeks bloody pee free.) He has also fully accepted that laps are a place he is welcome and has now taken to "asking" to jump up. (Unlike Lily who just shoved her way on, le sigh." Looking into some more supportive urinary therapy type things for him.

We have a car. We make it all official with the RMV tomorrow but yeah, the Accord will be officially ours. We worked it out with the kids' grandfather that instead of paying him for it we're going pay the money into a college account ofr the kidlets. Everyone kinda wins that way.

There was a big old nasty gas explosion in New York yesterday that collapsed two residential buildings. Hearing the news and seeing where the place was in pictures, I spent much of yesterday feeling... not triggered exactly, but this sort of sad anxiety where something bad has just gone down close to home and I'm... all the way here. Does that make sense? It doesn't to me. Why should a disaster make me homesick? That area of Spanish Harlem was one which I was familiar seeing as that's where Mt. Sinai is. I've certainly walked those streets enough times getting to and from the hospital on many visits to Dad... which carries its own brand of uncomfy wiggyness.)

Boo is 2/3rds done. Unsure what I'm doing next - I kinda want to do a Banzai Bill in the same style but at the same time ehh. I might go back to cranking out teeny stuff for a while. I also need to retool my website so the focus is entirely on beads, since that seems to be where my out of work life is right now.

I watched Cosmos last Sunday and it was beautiful. You know you like a series when you're planning on getting the blu-ray box less than 15 minutes into episode 1. Also I have quite the raging crush on Neil deGrasse Tyson.

A couple of weeks ago when I was getting the Tetris Dance framed (hey, I should be hearing back on that pretty soon...) I bought myself a little stone owl wax warmer. Mostly so I could remelt my beezwax chunks into managable shapes when they got crumbly and grody, but after doing that I was like oh hey wax chunks are only like $2 at Yankee Candle maybe Ill burn nice smelly things too. As luck would have it cell23's mom wanted to hit up Yankee Canle herself last saturday so we went and I got some nice smelling stuff. Considering I've been dipping my thread ends into the melted wax to get them to thread needles easier, it comes with the bonus of making my beadwork smell nice too.

But yeah, it's been mostly headnoise and blargh. Maybe since I now have Coming to America on DVD thanks to the good graces of Paperback Swap, maybe I'll sit and watch that while I bead tonight. Perhaps what's needed is a little bit of Oha singing "She's your Queen To-Be" and a little bit of Randy Watson and Sexual Chocolate while letting my sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooul gloooooooooooooooo. Worth a shot, right? :/ *sigh* Mood I'm in, I might as well also bust out The Princess Bride and Annie.

Oh speaking of Annie that new trailer? I was fully expecting to kinda hate on it, but other than wincing at the autotune on "Tomorrow" the trailer looks really fucking cute. I may have to go see this. Also "I don't like you in Harlem, why would I like you on Facebook?" is seriously the best line ever.

but yeah... perhaps ice cream, comfort movies and crafting isn't the worst idea right now.
