Good grief
So I realised I haven't checked LJ in a while. My friendslist stopped working at about 3rd of Feb, and I was still seeing new things. If I missed something important, I'm sorry, I have no idea what happened.
Erilyn, wow, sorry about missing the birthday thing, hope it went well. Obviously I need to pay more attention.
Otherwise all is good, same old same old. Vacillating between doing nothing at all and doing all the things, so still haven't figured out the being an adult thing. Am currently trying to rewatch and then finish watching Psych. Also watching Elementary, finished watching Lewis, and watching Phryne Fisher Murder Mysteries- which is making me want to watch the Murdoch Mysteries because y'know, awesome.
I think I've mostly finished reading the Mary Balogh back catalogue and rereading a bunch of Rachel Gibson books - since getting my Kindle at christmas I have read SO MUCH STUFF. A lot of rereading, see the entire Jennifer Crusie back catalogue - but also a bunch of recs from Eloisa James's review site.
I've also been playing Mass Effect 2 through with my arsehole character which is surprisingly difficult. I love my people so much that being mean is HARD.
Also had 2 ukulele classes and have the last one this Tuesday. I bought a tuner so hopefully Sin has one less on her long list of reason to kill me. I can now play about 8 chords, and it even sounds a bit like music sometimes. My strumming is still quite ... erratic.
I became an auntie again, my nephew is adorable, probably redheaded and GINORMOUS. I also became auntie to a kitten who is adorable and fluffy and ginormous, so there seems to be a theme on that front.
I managed to get to a couple of trivias recently, which was lots of fun, and as soon as I get over my period of narcolepsy I'm sure it'll be even more fun.
Bernie and I are going walking on Sundays again. I was feeling wussy today, but then realised we did almost 9km and finished as fast as we started, so y'know, yay us. Even if that wasn't really fast.;)
And I'm starting back at uni in a double masters Public Health/Health Management in the next couple of weeks, and Sin has been warned about impending crazy. All the rest of you should be warned too! Working fulltime and studying (distance at least to start) is a road that leads to mood swings, violent outbursts and existential crises. Awesome.
Um! And I'm planning to cut sugar out of my diet as an experiment over the next few weeks. Also supposed to make people cranky. Possibly bad timing. Ehn, bugger it.
And I'm up to The Fifth Elephant on my data entry-audio book Terry Pratchett run. It's not read by Nigel Planer or Tony Robinson, unlike the other's I've listened to, but I'm enjoying it anyway.
Still doing 2 0.5FTE jobs, still driving lots, blah blah.
Oh! Going to see ... well all sorts of people, The Cat Empire, Something For Kate, Mama Kin, Seth Lakeman, Adam Hills, Margaret Cho, and some jazz thing next weekend if I can sort myself out before then and get tickets.
Yeah, so things.
If I haven't been in contact it's not because I don't love you, it's because I have the attention span of a thing with very little attention span who is also really bad at describing things. If you have Skype, give me a heads up because I'd love to chat, if you're in Australia and I have your number, sucks to be you because I'm still going to call you when I'm bored on my way home from work.
Uh. So how're you doing?
