Bill & Opus in '04!
Mar. 21st, 2003 08:29 amAnd that's the extent of my politicking for today. Not gonna say anything else, though there is a ton on my mind. Just don't feel like putting it up here for once. And anyway, you all know what I think by now.
Yesterday was a strangely mellow day. Things just seemed kinda...okay, like nothing was bothering me. Like all the bad stuff was really far away. Work was decent--slow, but enough to keep me busy, varied enough to keep my from wacking out. My music was decent (as always--all hail the iPod). I got to go to an Indian cafe near work here for lunch with Anj, and it was more than decent--found out it's got a buffet for both lunch and dinner, all week long. A small buffet, admittedly, but more than enough for a stuff-yourself meal--and cheap to boot. And with nice service. And there was a tv playing a subbed Indian musical in the background, and I really liked the music. :)
Lessee, what else made yesterday decent? Found a really neat fanfic that took me all day to get through--I'm already wanting to read it again, it was that interesting. The story was pretty cool, but what was best was the characters--talk about well done and IC, but still human. And it was shounen ai/yaoi, but it was handled with wonderful care, and the characters' feelings and interactions were built up very slowly and gradually over the course of the fic--made it feel very realistic. The weirdest part about it all? It was...a Crawford and Shuldig story, from Shuldig's POV. I never like that pair. I've only read a few other stories about them, and only liked one before. But this is just amazingly impressive--and like I say, *wonderfully* IC, yet the characters are still interesting and likable. It's so trippy. Heh. Anyway, is called "Eyes on Me" by Mami-san, if someone wants to check it out.
Was rather tired all of yesterday, tho. I kept nodding off, and outright dozed off in the meeting with the Chancellor (the one on the budget, so maybe it was better I was drowsy so I didn't get too worked up by it all). And I went from mellow to just outright ready to crash by the time I went home. Life of the party me, I read some ficcage, called my Mom, ate leftovers for dinner, and went to bed early. Woo.
Today I'm not exactly mellow, or feeling the happy-fuzziness of apathy-laced keeping bad things at a distance. But I'm okay, decent. My supervisor's taken a vacation day, so I'm inclined to goof off a bit more than usual. I do so too much already (the young me would hate the old me for being such a slacker, overachiever-get-A's-at-all-costs-perfectionist person I was then), but the mice gotta just give into it a bit more when the cat's away. And things are slow again, so no real harm in it. I'm lucky that way--it's one of the unwritten bennies of working here, I guess, for all I complain about. Hm...am already planning on playing many Offspring and Evanescence mp3s today--actually I only have two Evanescence ones, but I'll listen to them a lot. I desperately need to find more. I have fallen in love/lust with their vocalist's (Amy Lee, is it?) voice. *sighs* Their song, My Immortal, just about makes me cry. *sighs again, worships Kea for sending her the mp3*
I wanna stained glass grinder. Am really thinking hard about outright getting one this weekend--especially since the store where I'm taking the class will give me 10% off the soldering iron I already need if I get them at the same time. Hm.
