Last night was loud. Due to being forgetful, I showed up late and got there right when things got started. I never quite got used to the noise level as it slowly ramped up. Several times I zoned out at the television; I don't know whether it was a Pavlovian response or a focused distraction. Either way it was more of an annoyance than anything ( Read more... )

Friday was good. I finally got my refund check and quickly cashed it. It was weird walking into the local branch and seeing the Chase logo everywhere (It reminds me of an all-seeing eye. "They are watching you."). I'm gonna miss WaMu. When my mom retires, I'm gonna find a nice credit union to stick with. This latest economic hiccup has taught ( Read more... )

I spent most of Friday (17th) puttering around the house trying not to eat. When I last bought food, I avoided buying anything ready-made or with a quick prep time (other than pasta); it really helped. I did some light cleaning to burn time until the munch. I got there a bit late due to some heavy traffic, but it didn't seem overly crowded. ( Read more... )

Yesterday was very topsy turvy. I woke up and didn't feel like facing the world outside my room, so I pwned a bit on the original Legend of Zelda using an old strategy guide. Knowing where all the hidden rupee caches and the cheap shops are really speeds things up. After picking up a few items in dungeon four, I let myself die and headed out. I ( Read more... )

After the Sunday munch, I headed home and downloaded a few BDSM stories I had been missing over the past few months. I kept puting off reading them when Cerebrate was up and running because other stuff kept popping up. Now, finding myself with a modicum of downtime, I found that I wanted to read them and went on a trek through the internet to get ( Read more... )

( 11/26 Wednesday of teh Awesome )

The photo shoot was great. It wasn't as busy or hectic as the first one, which I see as a good thing. It was a lot more mellow and completely drama free (right?). Last time I was taught how to put things in frame and where to be to take the shot. This time, I got a refresher in that and was told where to place the lights, what to look for in ( Read more... )

The munch last night was bigger than usual and had about a 50/50 split between regulars and newbies. Zuul showed up and said she left on Wednesday because some guy kept leering at her (And I don't think it was me.). But, at least she wasn't driven away completely (Which is a good thing, according to the Rope King.). I did major outreach for the ( Read more... )

I just sprained my left foot while walking down the stairs. I've already got it compressed and iced and when I get back to the couch I'll have it elevated. Luckily, the endorphins have started to kick in and the pain is down to a minimum. I'm waiting to hear back from work to see if someone else can cover. Fuckin' stupid stairs ( Read more... )

I finally identified the feeling I've been having over the past few days. I hate the way my brain works; it wants to trace back almost anything familiar to the exact point of where and when I last encountered it. Songs and people are the worst cause that's precisely where my memory falters. Feelings are a close second, but I've discovered a few ( Read more... )
