Avast, ye scurvy dogs
Dec. 7th, 2003 09:30 amThings have been acquired. Some things left yet to acquire, but many things have been. This is good. Got to that open house at the artists' coop, though not for downtown Omaha's lack of trying to get me lost. ><;;; Seems Omaha has decided that the areas down by the new convention center/riverfront crap (looks ugly, to boot) doesn't need street signs. Gargh. Anyway, spent a couple hours there, mostly at the glassblower's studio, and it was keen. I severely doubt my sanity, but I then stopped at not one, but two Toys R Us'es (still didn't find what I was wanting, tho) *and* a mall (and a B&N, but that's tame in comparison). Yeek. There's a small part of me that did find being out and about in the hustle and bustle, the lights and glitter and energy, a little bit fun--but it did get tiring, and I'm glad that mosly I've got stuff I can get online left.
Though it does kinda gnaw at me that I'm feeling so blah about it all still. This is usually my favorite time of year, usually a time where I'm feeling happy, emotional, nostalgic, and sentimental. So far, not much of that's been getting through the knot of stress. I dunno...maybe I need to listen to more TransSiberian Orchestra and Mannheim Steamroller. I hate the thought that the holidays are just passing me by, and I'm not getting into the spirit. Guess it doesn't help that I'm not decorating at home--worried that Bebop would destroy it anyway, but mostly I just don't have the time/energy. And the place is sucha mess that I'm disinclined to add to it. And haven't gotten my decorations up at work, and with the sudden severe lack of time, there, might not get 'em up there, either. I wanna do more snowflakes like I cut last year, but really I have better things to do at the moment.
Aaaaanyway. Finally got together with Anj and Gina last night--haven't done that in ages. I'd been leaning towards buying PotC anyway, and that nudged me to finally do so. Criminy, I adore adore that movie. Gotta love teh Cap'n Jack. Gotta love brain fixating on Jack/Will stuffs again. >) Did a small amount of looking for ficcage, but didn't find anything too wow yet. But will keep looking if'n I have the time. But damn, is that movie full of good quotes.
Gonna have Kelly and maybe Anj over today. Need to do a good'n'long study session. Am worrying about that interview/conversation exam this week (mine is on Wednesday afternoon). And once that's done, of course I'll be going into panic mode about the final. Eight days...just need to get through the next eight days.
One way to get my mind offa things, tho--boy boinkage! >D >) >D I splurged just a tiny big, and got a few PoT doujin anthologies (Rabu Puri 8, Grand Slam Rivals, and Tennis Nation 5. And I luffles them. Lovelubluvluffles. *__* Uwah, got distracted looking at 'em again. Whoops. ^__^ But now I am obsessed with Akiyoshi doujinshi, due to the stuff I picked up for Hanananana...*coughs* Er. Gomen. #>_># But ohman...darn you Yummi people. Darn you all to heck. Getting me hooked on that pair, and on that circle. But that one, with the ohlovely cover art and the ohlovelysparkley stuff inside, is gonna be really, really hard to finally mail along to Hana-ness. *sighs, flails* So coveting and wanna keep! T__T So many doujin things I need to get when I truly have money again, after the first of the year.
Sticking Bebop was traumatic again yesterday. Took three needles again--this time, he squirmed out of the first one, I poked myself with the second (god*damn*it >< ) and things finally worked on the third. I so suck at this. And that first one, man he was putting up a ruckus--I feel so horrid, because I must have had it in wrong, and it was causing him pain. Arrrgh... ><;; *GUILTS* Dear god though, I have got to get this to be an easier process--I can't go through nightmare attempts like that every other day forever. And no way can I teach someone to be my backup on it if it's going to be such a mess. Ehhh... *flails*
Anyway. Stuff to do. Kinou wa isogashikatta des. Soshite, nihongo o benkyoushimasu kara, kyou mo isogashii desu.
