Spent lots of time last night pushing Bug through his school project. Too much time.
Skye came over this morning (We were still pushing Bug through his school project, or doing it again, considering that we slept) and had some problems. Enough so that the Dr wanted Skye in, right now with a "Maybe to the hospital.." Adrenalin! Da Beau met us there, looking more than a little worried. Skye's txt sounded lots worse than it was. Fortunately, it's just Skye's 900th uti.

Had lunch together, then we all came back here to push Bug through his project some more, and to sort through all the fabric, assigning each piece to a pattern. That latter part was really fun!

Then more project. In the middle of the "more project" part, we got a call saying that a dear friends boon companion had just died of a hear attack, and K had to rush off. So, Bug stuck with me until 11:30, and then I forged on, alone. Just finished typing in his hand notes, and am DONE. Whew!

Current Mood: fine
Current Music: Public Image - s/t

today at work i finished reading The Dalkey Archive by Flann O'Brien...it was good, though not as good as the other book i'd read by him (The Third Policeman...they share a plot point...TTP was written first but couldn't get published while he was alive and perhaps thought lost and he reused one part of it in this later book...it's not as key an element the second time around...well, now i've tackled the namesake of my favorite publisher at the moment...) i forgot to mention also that on new year's day Dustin gave me my replacement tin can for my christmas present (the lo-fi single string fretless thingie...) this time it's a pineapple can and the can is much bigger too...i'm hoping it'll sound even better...we'll see...haven't gotten around to testing it yet...

Jan. 4th, 2010 @ 08:54 pm From 60 to 0 in four days.

Current Mood: down and sick

The New Year rang in in the lull between a delicious dinner party, and a wonderfully full hot tub. I was filled with a feeling of gratitude for my life, and the people in it. The high remained through Saturday, dropping a bit with the temperature. It wasn't fazed, passing on a night of dancing to play some new songs with my roommate and watch The Big Bang Theory. Sunday our DND game was cancelled, I somehow missed the memo. I hung out with Cris watching bits of some classic movies, tried to make a hot tub appointment which fell through due to overcrowding, had tasty dinner, and played a game of Warhammer that was frustrating, despite my intent to make it a learning experience. By the time today rolled around, my lingering cold acted up. We had an Internet and e-mail problem company wide that kept us floored for the morning, combined with a surprisingly adverse reaction to my morning bagel. Instant depression! This lasted the rest of the day, banishing all thoughts of Spin Jam or Ceremony tonight. I briefly considering making an appearance, but in this case, I choose to cut my losses. (JT and his pep talks be damned.)

Jan. 4th, 2010 @ 10:23 pm OMG WHAT, a HP Fanfic rec-ish post?

Tags: fanfic , harry potter , memories , rec , trans

Through

metafandom I found an entry on Queer Character Tags on AO3, Current and Future. I found the amount of trans-related tags intriguing, so I clicked around a bit and stumbled over this Harry Potter fic with the tag "trans" and went "oh, my one and only fandom! Gotta check this out!" And you know what? I actually really enjoyed it.

Sleeping Underneath Your Skin by kyuuketsukirui describes situations and feelings* I've experienced but have almost forgotten about and really feeds into my love/hate relationship with memory and remembering things. I don't know about the characterization - I can definitely see this Ginny in front of me, but I feel like this could just as well be original fic set in the Wizarding World. Which really doesn't bother me much, it's still a good fic.

*The whole "standing in front of the mirror"-thing and seeing yourself and someone else at the same time, especially (the magic involved in the fic really doesn't make it much different).

Jan. 4th, 2010 @ 01:29 am Projects from Hell

Current Mood:

exhausted
Current Music: "Welcome," by The Who

Tags: ash , blake , bug , projects

I know that lots of mom have stories about the projects from hell, but ....damn!

Bug had like 6 weeks to get this done. His dad and I nagged at him all through this, and he told us "I'm on top of it" all the way. So why are we all three working like hell on it at 1:30 in the morning? Because "I'm on it" means "I've thought about it."

If I were a cartoon, I'd have one of those burning images over my glowering head.

I told him "Absolutely only time. Next time, you can just burn."

I did get to go to the big sale at Hancock fabric, and all of the new baby fabric is washed and folded. I ironed a sizable section of it and K laid out two outfits and cut them out. So tomorrow, when brat boy is in school showing off our group efforts, I can sew.

Current Music: Tri-pinnacle - Diagnol Ryme Garganchula 2.0

downloaded a couple games on the wii last night: Exitebike: World Rally and Bit Trip Beat (the full version...yeah, the demo was awesome...) and a note that i should have mentioned in a previous post: i got a timely fortune in my cookie when we ate at pho hoa binh on friday, being new year's day, "You have a charming way with words and should write a book." i don't know about the charming part, but one of my resolutions was to write at least one page a week (as i didn't write a single damn word all of last year...) my other resolution was to work out at least like three times a week or something, even if it's stupid working out like situps or pushups...i should do something...then i later though maybe i should relearn spanish or something, but that's a kind of indefinite resolutions and i couldn't think of any specific goals...so, i dunno...
