You know you’re a nerd when you translate the Viking Oath (from 13th Warrior) into the Dragon Speech from Skyrim for a buddy.

Hmmm…nothing like trying to wind down at night and hearing your dad pound his way into the bathroom down the hall and become violently sick. I shall now hunch closer to my laptop and hope the quiet sounds of MST3K can drown it all out. Mum’s all over it in classic maternal fashion, bless her heart… Three things in my head now: get well, Dad. Is it flu or food poisoning? ...

(sorry it’s sideways) Thor’s at it again, this time in my neighborhood. The cool thing was that my biker neighbor down the street had just started up his motorcycle and he’d been playing ACDC as the storm rode over. My mum and I were laughing in our giddiness over the storm, and one of my neighbors kids (who were on the grass nearby) called “Why are you laughing?! That...

Just got back from seeing “The Avengers” It was pretty good. AKA So don’t mind me whilst I hop on the “I love the Avengers” bandwagon for a while. Favorite bits: Tony SNARK (all of it), and Hulk’s ninja-smash to Thor, and then his beat-down on Loki. Mark Ruffalo is darling, btw.

There’s a rounded base on the lamp stand (just below the bulb) near me. I happened to glance over and see a tiny spider - nearly the size of my pinky fingernail - crawl up to the edge of the aforementioned base. He chills there for a second, his front legs poised above him. Then he bolts - absolutely beats cheeks around the edge like there’s no tomorrow. Poor guy probably realized he...

How I Express My Love For Theater, or...
The high school kids’ performance of “Godspell” was a raving success! Oh man, those kids were FANTASTIC! And the sweeties made me come up on stage to be recognized for my work on the sets. And they gave me flowers, you guys. Lawdy mercy, I love Lori (the director). I love SKIT. I love theater in general so much. SO. SO. MUCH.

Guys. Golden Grahams for breakfast. My favorite non-healthy breakfast cereal at my disposal! I haven’t had Golden Grahams since I was in grade school…well, there MIGHT have been a time or two somewhere between, but if so, it was rare. It’s not worth buying these days simply because of it being so expensive. BUT… My mum got ingredients for lots of different recipes...

Be proud of me, all you culinary kids out there - there’s a homemade BBQ chicken pizza cooking in my oven that was made by yours truly. It’s not QUITE authentic, since I used a pre-made pizza dough/crust, but otherwise, all me. Another 15 minutes, and I’ll be a very, very happy person.

Musings of the Evening
~ Godspell sets are done! My fingers are covered with paint, and it’s on my knees as well, including splinters. Some of the set builders had to make some modifications on the fire escape they made, and so there was dust, shavings, and splinters all over. ~ watching Downton Abbey with my mum, who’s never seen it before. Ho ho ho, the feels all over again! I’ve grabbed my face a...

How You Can Tell If The Day Is Going to Be Sunny...
I’ve lived in Oregon my whole life, and a good portion of the time, the weather is overcast/rainy. But I’ve discovered that I can tell the difference between sunny and overcast just by looking at the light peeking through my dusty old blinds. The light of an overcast day is heavier, more sluggish, and dull. It doesn’t dance with shadows, and simply sprawls wherever it falls. ...

Don't Mind Me #2
Yay hour-long phone call with Uncle Beans! Boo that I miss him so much. 2-ish months, and then I’ll get to see him again. At least there’ll be texting and calls in between. One of the first things he asked when we began talking was “So you’re coming down this weekend, right?” …

Reblogging the “answer the questions & make up your own, etc.” doohickey because Sanne asked me to so nicely. But since I already did it on my own, I’m not going to make up another set. So have fun with these :3 1. If you had the chance to swap places with another person for a day, whom would it be and why?  I’m not sure…I’ve never thought about something...

Have A Nice Day: A Musical About Retail
I’ve discussed this with Heather many times: there needs to be a musical about working in retail. I’d pay buku bucks to see it, and that’s a fact. It’d have all kinds of references and jokes about dealing with stupid customers, answering stupid questions, and putting up with stupid co-workers/bosses. It’d be sweet. I started perusing my music stash to see what I had...

One of the sounds of my childhood is that of a specific birdsong that my family would hear whenever we’d go camping. I have never been able to pin down what bird it is, and I’ve been searching as hard as I can for a long time. It’s hard to describe via writing - it’s one of those ones you have to imitate. Since I can’t do that very well on here right now, I’m...

Worked on the sets for Godspell today, and I had a friend of mine come in and help out. Paul is a pro, kiddies, and he took the time to come in for a few hours and help little ol’ me with flats for a high school play. He doesn’t have much work these days, since not many people want airbrush stuff. He gave me some great insight today: “You weren’t GIVEN the talent you have....

I’m having a deep conversation with a late-grade school kid from my church about ancient history via Facebook. This girl is actually interested in me telling her about Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan. I find this all kinds of awesome, just so you know.
