Good news: Went out yesterday to Japan town and China Town in San Francisco with friends and unwisely spent over 100 dollars on manga at kinokuniya. Bought some really good choco-strawberry mochi at a bakery too. Also went to City Lights Bookstore and bought a poetry book I've been wanting for awhile. Bad news: Its supposed to get up to 104 degrees farenheit today :'(
...Wait, how close to SF do you live? Because I'm in the Santa Cruz area and go up to SF semi-regularly... Anyway. Bad news: The panel listing for SacAnime Summer came out, and it's really underwhelming, and my friend's Homestuck villains panel didn't make the cut even though three run-of-the-mill HS panels did. And the only fanfiction panel is a feminist analysis of fanfiction and its Merits and Problematic Elements. Seriously. Good news: I'm still super pumped for the con! My cosplays are coming along well, even the ones involving shit I've never done before (I AM LEARNING RESIN CASTING HELL YEAH), and I'm gonna hang out with so many friends and make so many new friends and try and get @Neurogabu to be the Steven to my Amethyst and we're gonna make a MOTHERFUCKING TOGETHER BREAKFAST. B) And one of the panels that DID make it in is a Panty And Stocking panel, which can only end beautifully.
I live 45 mins to an hour away from SF depending on traffic but I don't get go all that often because of my family :/ I literally live right off of I-80. as for SacAnime, I really want to go but I have no more money and I had the chance to buy presale tickets and I didn't buy and I am kicking myself for it now.
I know but i dont even know if im gonna be able to go :( we're supposed to be hosting some relatives from belgium sometime next month and i dont know when theyre coming...
Bad news: Spending sunday grading papers. Theme is "are differences between genders a social construct". Lots of very ignorant comments regarding transgender issues. Good news: Am having anlaugh at all the weird stuff said, and also the students, though ignorant, have their heart in the right place and all those who mention trans people think it's OK to be trans and we should get respect and equal treatment.
Good News: FatDog is finally eating again! This is the best sign we could hope for wrt pancreatitis. Bad News: BigDog is, as usual, too fucking smart for his own good. He noticed that not eating your food means you get special food. Now he won't eat his breakfast. Or rather, he'll eat boneless, skinless chicken thighs ($2.75/lb) one at a time out of my hand, but won't eat the normal kind ($1.75/lb) out of his bowl. Brat.
Good news: I am going to be a bridesmaid in my oldest friend's wedding in a little over two weeks! Bad news: I just received the dress yesterday, three weeks after she promised I'd have it. It doesn't fit. I need to get it altered and I have very little time left.
Bad news: car is in far worse shape than we expected. Good news: hopefully our savings will cover it.
Bad News: my hands hurt like hell today, and I may have to reassess how capable I'll be of keeping knitting as an active hobby. Good News: my moirail and I FINALLY had a productive jam about how his ADD affects our relationship, and laid groundwork for a future productive jam about his abusive wife. PROGRESS!
Bad: the London tube is sensory hell and it's super muggy and i can't even think properly Good: someone recognised and complimented my Pokemon shirt! :3
Bad news: holy god I am so. Tired. My shoulder's been wibbling back and forth between "stay where I am supposed to be" and "be an inconsiderate jackass" for a solid week now, and it's really irritating when I try to sleep. *cries and buys a robot arm* Good news: it's suddenly lunch, and I have no recollection of an actual 4 hours passing at work. We're way ahead of quota right now (ok. Yesterday was a bad day and we got like maybe a 116 filters done. Today, as of noon, we have 150) and also I found thief of time on audiobook last night so I have been listening to that today. (Later I may switch back to Something Wicked This Way Comes, I dunno).
bad news: weird bump thing on my leg that might be anything from a wart to a type of skin cancer good news: i got a 57-year-old book from my boyo called the lovers' keepsake. it was a gift from his grandfather to his grandmother when they were dating, and it's so sweet i may have a cavity.
Bad- I got into a wreck on monday, and the bill came out to 1000 bucks. i don't think I did anything wrong, but i also think i must have because it cost my parents a good chunk of change and a whole lot of inconvenience, and i must have done a bad cause that can't just happen for no reason?? Yes it can, Stupid, and either way, it's done and done. Nothing to do but donate my next few paychecks to the cause. it's fine, i'm fine, everything's fine. good- I thought I had trapped myself in ME1, cause I decided to take a level designed for the buggy on foot, cause the Mako is hot candied turds, BUUUUT, I did it! All by myself, just me and a useless sniper and a dinky little pistol and two utterly worthless AIs. And I beat the wailey antler dog lady boss in Bloodborne! All in all, a good week for gaming.
Bad news: There's a very good chance I might be about to lose my job (the job I greatly enjoy) due to a HR fuckup that they're being supremely unhelpful about fixing. Good news: My boyfriend and I put an offer in on a house and the seller accepted. This is the third property we've offered on and the second we've had accepted (first fell through after a lot of heartache). Fingers crossed!
bad: i screwed up the pattern of the scarf i'm crocheting and had to undo like 2/3 of my efforts so far to get to back before the fuckup good: the little thipthipthipthip noise of yarn pulling through yarn intrigued the puppy who came over all adorably intrigued and tried to poke me/the yarn with her nose, something i took as an excuse for puppy cuddle timez
Good news: Successfully presented as and introduced myself as a dude to gamey worky dev people; got lotsa work done; am closer to being finished with this game than I thought I was. Bad news: oh god why is the Tube so muggy I'm sweating like I ran a marathon oh god oh god
