Catching up
Jun. 27th, 2004 01:07 pmIt's been a bit, hasn't it?
+0: Okay, so! First. I posted about the showing in July, which opens on Friday with a reception. You should show up. More people at the reception is good. ^_^ I got my postcards, so I've been scattering those about in shops and stuff. I'm going to mail a bunch out, too. So you might get one!
1: We're thinking about making another offer on another house. Let me rephrase that: we would have by now, probably, if the FARKING AGENT would have called us back already. But she hasn't. (This is not our usual agent; he's out of town this weekend.) There is crankiness. Hopefully it didn't sell already.
Mind you, it's not a house we'd be thrilled about. But the location is okay and we wouldn't have to do a zillion things to it immediately before we could even move in. That counts for something.
-2: Zoe attacked me and meant it this morning. My finger still hurts. She got to go back under the covers for about half an hour. I don't know whether she gets the message of "attacking the person who feeds you is stupid."
-3: Various depressing or otherwise disturbing posts in my friendslists and groups I read. Blah. I wrote a long and somewhat difficult reply to one of them, but not the rest. I really should have replied to another one - on a blog - but just couldn't work up the energy to register and reply. I kind of feel like I should have, though.
+4: Went over and hung out at Paul's apartment, and played Mario Cart all night. I'm getting a little better at driving, finally. Combat's fun too. Unfortunately, Paul figured out what I was doing and I went on a little losing streak.
-5: We've got a crazy person setting fires in the neighbourhood. I've found two of them; one across the street two weeks ago in the bus stop's trash can, one next door last week, trying to set a signpost on fire. (He burned the base to charcoal.) The police say that there's been a big rash of them, but they don't have any clues about their identity yet. Yay.
-6: Summer is usually asshole-student-party free, but not this year; one last night, one last weekend too. I guess the fuckheads have more and are sticking around this summer. God, I can't wait to get the hell out of here. If we don't have a new place by August, we're moving into an apartment. That'll suck.
-7: My allergies have been brutal this year. I think I'd better start getting allergy shots or something. I was on three antihistamines last week; this weekend, I'm back down to no more than two, but that's still bad.
+8: I got past the block on "All the Moons of Mongo," so it's moved back from "failure, abandoned" to "possible sculpture." It's still kind of a sprawling mess, but now it's a single sprawling mess rather than five or six separate, unrelated sprawling messes. This is a big advance, and I think part of the process for this piece. It's the most massive piece I've ever done, so it makes sense that it'd be difficult.
9: Played more with the old Velo handheld; I've got an idea about how to improve the battery situation; it'd be cool if it worked, and it won't cost anything to try. So I will!
But now, I should shower. La.
