I'm still here
Accepted the job that abruptly fell into my lap, so I've been working my usual 11pm-7 am, and then doubling back and working 8:30am-1:30pm training at my new job. I'm utterly exhausted, especially since I've intentionally shorted my sleep twice to watch Pacific Rim.
I'm utterly in love with that movie. The fact that they do not make out, kiss, grope, slobber or have any form of a sex scene in it appeals greatly to me and my asexuality. It was awesome to see the heroine be a strong BAMF of a character, with flaws and imperfections and NOT a sex-kitten or useless arm candy. And Raleigh, precious little puppy that he is, is also flawed and damaged and has absolutely NO reason to ever do this again, yet doesn't hesitate to dive back in. Because it's what's needed. It's about the smaller characters, the fact that this isn't pulled off by 1 character, but the whole entire slew of them. It's about sacrifice, and faith, and trust, and it's just amazing. My tumblr is nothing but Pacific Rim right now. ♥♥♥
Also, there's an online JaegerCon for anyone interested. You can track the JaegerCon tag, or you can follow JaegerCon, and it's being ran by Marchingjaybird, Flatbear and Exorin are the ones who have spearheaded this insane task.
Beyond that, I'm just catching up on sleep. Things should settle down soon, my last day here at the hotel is Saturday night, leading into Sunday morning, and then I hit the ground running on Monday full-time at the office. So it should calm down, and the 100 things baking meme will start up again. I've just not had any time at all to do anything. :(
In medical news, I finally got into the clinic and they said the pain in my hands is arthritis (I'm not even 30 yet!), and I'm on some drugs to help the worst of the ache. It helps, I can type and write longer now before it hurts too much, though the drugs limit me to only Tylenol for any additional painkillers, which is a royal pain when a migraine hits. But still, it's better than it was. it's just a low-level grinding instead of the crippling pain it was before, so whoot!
How's everyone else doing?
