So busy, oh mah lawd so busy.

The Art Show was fun, it always is, but a lot of my friends showed up to support me and that always feels nice. I stood back and got to watch as complete strangers scoped out and complimented my photo amongst their friends. I made sure to ninjacam a woman (for proof and stuff).

My neighbor Tannis (who asked me to ( Read more... )

Last week we finally got started on cleaning up my future living space. Unfortunately I planned this first clean up on a day that I thought I had off. It turned out I had to work so I only got to stay and help for a couple of hours, but Eric, my dad and some friends continued without me

A lot was done; mostly weeding and cleaning out the front and ( Read more... )

I have a lot to say about the CT shooting, but I'd rather save the details of my opinions for an actual discussion. Part of the problem is how much attention these incidents garner from the media, giving the shooter/terrorism/whomever their 15 minutes of fame. I debated mentioning it at all, but so as not to seem indifferent:

Death always hits me ( Read more... )

Here's my quick recap of Halloween:

First we carved pumpkins. I made my second ever pumpkin, and this year was Doctor Who themed (Tardis Pumpkin). Eric attempted to make a zombie face, but I sort of hogged the tools. So he junked his and, though we planned to buy more, didn't get an opportunity to make more. I didn't even get to show mine off ( Read more... )

Every year, just after Halloween, I tell myself that I will start working on a Halloween costume months before October. Every year I wait til the last week in September before I decide on something and stress myself out trying to put it together. This year, I've finally gotten a headstart.

Last year Eric and I were an awesome couples costume of ( Read more... )

My cousin came to the house this weekend and picked up a bit. He cleared out part of the back room, most of the bedroom, and emptied the closet. The mom's wanted to take a look around and see just exactly how bad it was, so they came over with us to check it out. I just wanted to see that my cousin really did clean like he claimed he would. There's ( Read more... )

As I predicted, my cousin extended his stay in the house: first until the middle of April, and then until the end of April. To add insult to injury, he apparently is going to need surgery for some issue in his intestines. I can only assume that this means he'll be extending his stay (on a biweekly basis WTF? I mean honestly pick a date down the ( Read more... )

I have fantastic news, and I don't know where to begin.

I was talking to my dad this weekend about the new house and how much rent I'll be paying him. The conversation started because I want him to bump up the rent at the apartment Eric will be moving out of, to an obscenely high amount. It's in Silverlake, and I figured that someone will pay a ( Read more... )

I went this past weekend, with Eric and Dad, to check on the house that my cousin's moving out of. The idea was to take a look around and figure out exactly what needs to be done before we can move in. I figured that there's going to be a lot to do, but I was not prepared for what I saw.

My cousin paid his rent up to the end of January, which is ( Read more... )
