Just got back from David's birthday party. He was the only person there that I knew, and while that idea was daunting as hell when I got there, I was able to present myself in a fairly relaxed way. There used to be a time that I wouldn't have been able to do that. I'm kind of proud of myself. AAAANND my fan fic writing hobby DID come up. I was a ( Read more... )

I just got back from my friend Ellen's baby shower. I met Ellen when we worked at Wilson library in college. She was... man, she MAY have been nineteen at the time. She must have been. Anyway, it was so strange being at a baby shower. It was the first baby shower I've been to, I'm pretty sure. I've been to wedding showers, sure, but never a baby ( Read more... )

~ I saw YOUNG ADULT last night and I really, really liked it. Better than JUNO, for sure (which says a lot because I enjoyed JUNO). I love the fact that Diablo Cody's movies take place in Minnesota, and laughed when the people of fictional Mercury, Minnesota referred to Minneapolis as the 'Minneapple'. I don't think anyone actually calls it that, ( Read more... )

I am determined to get my Christmas/Hanukkah shopping done today. I think it's possible. Outside of lunch with Kaythey and a movie with Wren tonight, I have a pretty much open day. And I just got paid, so really, there is no excuse not to get the shopping done.

Oh, and by the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, nekocrouton!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you have a great one!!!! Love you ( Read more... )

SO.... Today while walking through Nature Unleashed at the museum, I realized that I leave for Vegas two weeks from tomorrow.

In spite of the fact I busted my ass and broke my camera last night, it was an overall good evening. Yes, I have a bruise on my elbow, and a couple cuts on my hand, and a twisted wrist (I am fairly convinced I didn't notice any of this last night because David immediately made sure I had beer in my system to make me feel better, what a good friend ( Read more... )

Well, as much as I would like to wait until December 1st before I start acknowledging the holidays, I'm going to be realistic/indulgent and just accept the fact that it's here. I've also resolved to maintain a few ethos this holiday season.

1) We're definitely celebrating Hanukkah this year. I need to get candles, and it's later this year than it ( Read more... )

First and foremost, I went and got my actual license and picked up my car today. The first thing I did was put a Gonzo action figure on the dashboard, just to give the car a little bit of flair that reflects me. I probably won't drive it for real purposes (work) until Thursday, but still. It's nice.

And now, WALKING DEAD thoughts, under a cut.

My first shift in the Natural Disasters exhibit was a success. It went smoothly, it was only four hours, and now I have two and a half to kill before I go to Identity Training tonight. Also, my schedule MAY have been tweaked in such a way that I won't be working on Saturdays anymore, and will instead have a shift on Friday mornings. That could be ( Read more... )

~ Today I got both honey challah and honey cake from Breadsmith. Just in time for Saturday. Of course, I can't EAT any of it on Saturday, what with the whole fasting thing. So I'm eating it today and tomorrow. Oh Yom Kippur. And of COURSE it has to fall on the day of the Zombie Pub Crawl. Suffice to say, I am packing a couple sandwiches to bring in ( Read more... )
