Yep, you're in love. Have a beer.
So! Uh. Today was pretty productive, kind of? I was on the roster for closet clean-out duty for an hour with Jorge - they're trying to scrape up as much office space as possible because there is no room in the Astronomy department, so they're cleaning out anything and everything that they don't need. Apparently there was a LOT of junk sitting around. So that was an hour of sorting papers and whatnot, but it wasn't hard and it went pretty quickly~ Then I actually got to meet with Vicki, and I get to start dealing with Chandra data soon, which is a little scary but it looks like I can use SExtractor, so that's promising?
Then I came home and ate and immediately went out to get a flask for Lucy - I found something close at Michael's for a dollar, yay! - and then I got fabric for Pippi, which was a bit more expensive than I'd hoped, but not too bad overall (about $40). Then I decided to go see Hellboy II. :D; I was one of probably five people in the theater, alas, but it was actually a pretty good movie. I mean, it's Hellboy so of course it's going to be campy, but it was fun campy even if the plot was a bit see-through. I guess that's kind of what you get from comic book-based things, though, especially when they're like Hellboy. Things you forgive in comics seem a little more obvious in movies. But yeah, it was good, and points every time he gets to use the prehensile tail~ (I'm dumb. XD)
And then I came home and packed for AFO, which is going to be uber low-key but should be fun nonetheless, and involve as little walking in high heels as possible~ XD But I get to wear C.C. again, and I'm bringing Tenma, Setsuna, and Mulan as well. So hopefully I'll get pictures of the latter two, becasuse I have NONE. So I will be gone most of the weekend, leaving tomorrow afternoon and getting back Sunday night. Geez, I'm home for a week and I have to turn around and leave again. XD; Such is my life~ And I get to leave again in - OMG - two weeks for Dragon*Con. At least most of the time my grandma is visiting we'll be here. Now I just have to find a Sashi-sitter, because everyone I might normally ask is leaving! At least I got the rest of the wigs I needed, for about $10 apiece, which is very yay~ And Lucy's shoes arrived today! That was hella fast, but definitely no complaints here. :D
And for the rest of the night I may try to get a bit of writing done, or work on an app for the PJO RP I found. Because as soon as I realized it existed, a nymph and a half-blood decided to show up and demand attention. Geez. XD; But I am excited nonetheless~ Now to decide the half-blood's parentage... I was thinking Aphrodite, but I'm not so sure about that unless it was an atypical Aphrodite kid, which kind of defeats the purpose... Maybe Apollo. Or a scrawny Hepaestus kid. XD; That could be cute~ I keep picturing some weird mix between Alby and Nico. And I want to name him Xander. :D;
::shuts up now!::
Oh! But I forgot to mention the other day, but I have an amusing astronomy story. :D; When the new postdoc was moving stuff in, he asked me what our general hours were. So basically I said something like, "Well, most of us are here from 10 or 11 until 5 at least." And he said, "Ah, so you're morning people then." |D Ah, I love astronomers. Apparently I should no longer feel bad about showing up at 11.Well okay except I should. But I really did not want to get up today. :x
And now this song is stuck in my head. I suppose it's better than "Carrying the Banner" though. Man, that has been stuck in my head for days.
