My weekend didn't start out so great--Friday was a day of many meltdowns, and much crying, for a lot of reasons I don't really want to get into. On the plus side it came out that people I love dearly but am not in close physial proximity to might soon be in close physical proximity to me, and that brightened my day up a lot. Then husband and I ( Read more... )

I've been thinking a lot about my commute since I made the post about taking lunchthings, and ways in which it stresses me out. I had been assuming that getting parking near the commuter rail (as opposed to bus -> transit train) was going to be prohibitively expensive, but I actually looked it up the other day. My transit pass is $100 a month. ( Read more... )

It got warm. It got warm! It's been consistently in the 50s for days! I could almost start to believe that maybe winter hell will not be here forever, although I have lived in Chicago too long to believe it's really spring. It's supposed to be somewhat chilly again this week (down to mid-40s), although it pretends it's climbing back up after ( Read more... )

Today was a much better day at work than the last few months have been. I am pleased. Also I crafted half the backstory for my backup DCP character ( Read more... )

It's been a productive weekend. I played a lot of Kingdom Hearts; I beat Halloween Town, finished the 100 Acre Wood, played all of Hollow Bastion, found all 99 puppies, and now I just have to beat the Hades Cup and do the End of the World. I'm also going to try to find as many of the Trinities as possible. Yay ( Read more... )

Work was not quite as thoroughly horrifying as I expected, but it was still pretty bad. I got home and we went to Nevin's for dinner and drinks. Then we came back and watched Labyrinth (and, pooka_madness, for the record, I am convinced it's a sock.)

Then I had a conversation with bottle_of_shine that I fear will lead to very very scary things, and then after everyone else ( Read more... )

Been a productive night, KH-wise. I beat Oogie-Boogie, another section of Hundred Acre Wood, and Neverland. I gave the Herc cup a couple of tries, but Herc got me the first time and then for some reason Cloud became awesome the second go-round, so I'll go back and try that again tomorrow ( Read more... )

The leaves are turning, leaving the trees a mass of gold and red flame that is transient, but oh, so beautiful (perhaps the more so for its fleeting nature). It's starting to get cooler. This afternoon was a crisp sixty-something degrees, and I wished I had my jacket.

Got about 550 words written on a Kain fic for 30enemies today. Yays ( Read more... )

Horrendously busy day ( Read more... )

In KH news, Atlantica is absurdly annoying. I died horribly trying to get Ursula. Also, Chris Martin was right on the money when he griped about the music being the same eight bars of "Under The Sea" over and over again. I mean, I love that song but my God.

Video gaming news aside, I'm not doing a whole lot else of interest. wrenbow fixed my ( Read more... )
