My 'splodey brain. Let me show you it.
Jul. 25th, 2007 08:37 pmPhew. Busy week.
Spent today at the fair being spun and tossed and dropped and swung in all different directions, which was actually a lot more fun than I remembered. I sort of wish we had a decent roller coaster, though - somewhere along the line, I've become a bit of a coastersnob connoisseur. :D I did like the loop-the-loop thingie, though. And I'm an absolute sucker for giant twirly swings. Note to self: if I'm ever in a really terrible mood, for whatever reason, I must take the bus to The Mall and ride the swings for five minutes. That'll fix it!
Spent last night writing for my ficathon and wound up with two thousand words of yay. This is going to be long, dangit, but I need to get back to work on the Wanderer Fantasy. It'll come with time, I hope! I have totally twisted the prompt and actually almost forgot about it. Obviously Greek mythology is relevant. Um. *squints* Yeah.
Spent the last half-hour falling on my face trying to get to the phone on time, just to hear the doorbell ring and switch course mid-stumble. En route to the door, I step in our kitty's latest offering to the hairball gods and throw the door open to see my landlords. Oh. Um. Joy.
So I had a long chat with my landlords and tried to sneak away to clean off my foot. How embarrassing. *wince*
But the conversation was basically about how I am a good tenant and they want me to live here for as long as I like (the next three years, for instance). So it was worth the icky foot stuff. Definitely.
Well, almost definitely. Ew. Thanks, kitty.
Taking my cousin out for a birthday dinner on Sunday, but the rest of the week's gonna be taken up with studying for my big ol' music history exam, which rears its ugly head at 9:30 AM on the tenth of August. If I pass it, they hand me my long-awaited Grade 10 RCM certificate and a gold star and maybe even a cookie. Yay! :D
Gosh. My little brother's moving out of the country for college on the 18th. Ack!
So, yes. Brain goes asplodey, but I still had time to curl up in the marvelous not-quite-warm of my room for an hour this morning and read a good book. Another heat wave's on the horizon. Ten years ago, we'd have maybe two days above thirty degrees (I know because I'd make a chart with the weather for the summer. Why? Because my stuffed animals were learning about the weather in the classes I was teaching them. Heehee.). Now we have whole weeks above thirty degrees. Obviously, something's happening here.
Anyway. Yes. Sleepy. So we have hypnotic David Tennant as the mood theme for today! :D
