This weekend has been awful mental-health-wise, but great in all other ways, so I guess I'll consider it even. (Thanks to everyone who replied on my last entry by the way... I hate feeling like that, but I got it under control eventually.)
Took my mum out for lunch today. That went nicely. I was kind of worried that she'd be her usual irritable self, but she must've been in a good mood or something. Regardless, it was good.
Even though my chances of going to a con any time in the near future are pretty much nil, I keep thinking about cosplay, haha. Then again this does tend to happen when warm weather comes around, because people start talking about cons... The more I think about it the more I think that Nanaki Kazuaki from Hatoful Boyfriend would be a lot of fun to dress up as, either as his human self or the bird version. I guess I just think his clothes are really cute (er, he's the first design, for those not familiar with the game). They look like something that I would actually wear on a regular day, I guess. It's kind of weird, because Kazuaki isn't really one of my top favourites (the top three space would be reserved for Anghel, Nageki and Sakuya, heh). But at the same time I'm really stuck on the idea of dressing up as him. Maybe I could just knit his little shawl, I bet that'd be easy - though potentially challenging because I've never knitted anything like that before. Could be interesting.
I've been reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Going in, I had no idea about it beyond "It's a classic, it's by a Latin American author, and a lot of people consider it really good". So starting was an interesting experience. It kind of has some qualities that I associate with medieval and classic writing, in which lots of stuff is happening all at once and sometimes names are hard to keep track of and sometimes weird stuff happens and you're left going "????" but in the text nothing much is thought of it so you just kind of have to go along with it. I like that. Good thing too, because on Friday evening when I was coming home from work the traffic was so bad that I was stuck on the bus for two hours with nothing to do but read that novel, heh.
My submissions for the Whale Brothers fest are... not going so hot. I've got one about halfway drafted, but that's about it. It's kind of discouraging, but oh well. I'm sure I'll find the time for it somewhere. I do have ideas, and none of them are overly complicated, so it's manageable. I think. Though not even gonna lie, half the time I have no fucking clue what I'm doing when I write this pairing. Like, I can't figure out how I want to portray it, or something. Maybe that's why I hardly ever write it, I dunno.
I was going to write more but then I fell asleep and now I'm just sitting here staring at the screen trying to fugre out what I was going to say. Argh.
