+ we meet with relatives to have lunch in chinatown. my brothers join.
+ finally burned photo+video dvds for a wedding we shot in may
+ watched before sunset again (it's been a while), while knitting
+ had dinner at chutney and did some writing at borders -- a vital character decided to step forth = progress.
- tried showing him TGD but the original version i've exported had a faulty kodec. after much fiddling and rerendering, looks like tomorrow will be more promising.
(this is actually a plus. i realize now that with my weird mood swings, the previous moment would have yielded in disasterous results. i get too stuck in needing to create something perfect that i can't look at my work objectively. it's a not-so-fun sort of state, usually resulting in my needing to do other things to shake myself out of it.)
+ wearing harem pants with egyptian pharaoh & anubis print pattern = win. thanks to the madre.
+ wearing dawn-to-dust knitted hoodie i made a while back = compliments.
i is a needy, indirect attention craving person, and other times, i really don't want any attention at all.
'tis late. chinese new year is this week. fun times ahead! let's rest now.
