nostalgia is always fun
yesterday i went over to the parents' house to finish looking at old slides, and now that they've all gone in the trash i kind of wish i'd saved a bunch of my dad's vietnam photos (altho not the ones of surgeries, because ew) (altho the person who'd been shot in the ass did make me giggle - it was such a small and tidy bullet hole) and some of my mom's europe photos from right after she graduated from college. (she and a couple of her friends went to europe for the summer. the acropolis in her pics is DESERTED.) there were only a few OH MY GOD 70S FASHION pics, and i think we'd seen them before. there were also a bunch from my high school graduation and some of me and some of my friends from high school in someone's back yard, rehearsing for something or something, and i have NO RECOLLECTION OF WHAT WE WERE DOING. i can't tell whose back yard it is either, altho that's not as important as me not knowing what the hell we were doing there.
it was fun, tho. and now we're out of slides. :( but! there are PILES of old photos in the basement, and those are probably next. exciting!
yesterday my sister and i bought our tickets to see the force awakens on christmas. even more exciting!
today i finished my nanonovel - i validated at 50,701, which is cutting it kind of close - it's not really a good story because it's not really a story, but some of it was fun to write and i got to think about tattoos for a month and that's never a bad thing. next year i'm going to write something with an actual beginning, middle, and end, tho.
tonight my team tied at curling, altho at one point we were down by six, which is a lot to be behind in curling, but we scored and just kept scoring, then the other team scored, then we tied. yay? at least i got my exercise for the week.
twenty-five geeky projects to knit or crochet - if you happen to be a knitting geek with geeky friends and/or family for whom to make gifts this season.
there's a perfectly preserved trench from ww1 in belgium, near ypres. it was left as it was after the war by the farmer who owned the land, and his family has continued to keep it up. it's like a living history museum.
