My cloak got altered today! It’s now short enough for me to wear without tripping and breaking my neck! I’ll still have to be careful not to wreck it if I ever wear it outside, and I’ll need to keep it cleaned carefully so that it’ll stay in good condition as long as possible. But it’s ready now at last! It’s no longer trailing three inches on ( Read more... )

The other day, while I was still thinking about what I wanted to write for Blogging Against Ableism Day, I read a wonderful and moving post by Ballastexistenz, on how early in life we internalize ableism and the effects that that early internalization has on the way we treat each other as well as the way able people treat us. And that post ( Read more... )

Still pretty depressed from the death of my dog. I'm ok as long as I don't have to talk about it, which of course I do because he had lots of friends who have the right to know. What can I say? My poochy was a popular fellow! But still, it's pretty hard. And I'm trying too to actually let myself miss him and grieve for him but still stay ( Read more... )

Well, first bit of snooze, I mean news, the job guy who said that he'd call me back either last Thursday night or last night didn't do so.

Shit! I hate it when my internet goes down! Mind you, I suppose that that does tend to happen when one's phone bill gets that high. Oops. But did they have to cut off my phone four days before Christmas? I mean, come on! And then, the phone company had the nerve to send us a Christmas card. You've got to love it ( Read more... )

Yep! I just went over to Lost and Found and picked it up this afternoon, and it was all there. My violin itself, the bow, and the shoulder rest are all accounted for, which is good because the said shoulder rest is borrowed. It's my teacher's. So Yay ( Read more... )

So yesterday I signed on to PhantomoftheOpera.com, and found in one of the threads there a link to a really awesome project! Only the introduction and Chapter 1 are done yet, but a group of Phans have gotten together and decided to produce an audio-book of the complete original LeRoux novel! Dramatized too, with different people reading the roles ( Read more... )

I just found out that Phantom's run here has been extended again! Yes ( Read more... )

The reason for that is because I've been coughing like a smoker since Tuesday night, and believe me, I've never smoked a day in my life. I think it's either an alergic reaction to my having swept the bathroom without a dust-mask on Monday or it's a chest-cold, either one of which would kind of suck. It's better today thankfully, but still there ( Read more... )
