Another day of working my ass off at the bit mines. My team lead even noticed how wobbly I was by later afternoon, and it’s a damn good thing I haven’t had to make any truly critical decisions today after about 4pm or so. I’m really proud of my work there, and so far I’m still taking the hard work as a challenge to my abilities. I don’t think anyone there wants to take it to abusive overwork any more than I do.
Preparing for MarsCon. Tonight I’ve compiled “Morphic Event”, another new playlist of driving music for the trip. Selections include the kickass Macross Delta end theme, and of course some carefully-chosen David Bowie. You know, I traditionally wear something pretty and shiny on Saturday night at the con, but had almost planned to skip that this year because I wasn’t feeling especially flamboyant. Then Bowie passed away, and I thought “If he’d been my friend, he’d have wanted me to be my genderqueer, leg-flaunting self this weekend.” So, tomorrow I’ll be picking out something short and shiny that doesn’t show too badly the weight I’ve gained this year. Speaking of performances, I intend to spend some time tomorrow learning my lines for the Luna-C show. I’m good at learning them Friday night, but I’d much rather be enjoying the con.
That’s pretty much it for today: a hard day’s work, dinner and some quiet time, then some music-mixing creativity. After I post this, I’ve got some Managlitch tweaking to do. I’m late posting my New Year’s episode; part of my slow pace is general stress making me not want to spend energy on anything but being a slug, but part of it is my anxieties trying to keep me from the keyboard, keep me from setting aside the time to work on my ideas because it’s selfish or something. I especially want to unlearn that latter, but that is also slow work. Dammit.
The journaling helps. So, here’s the latest.
