I also have a note here that says, and I'm really amused at this, "ねませんか = verboten! It does mean what you think it means." I wonder if I was the one who asked that or if someone else blundered into that.

Um. More practice on this point tomorrow 'cause it's frelling busy today, apparently.


As it turns out, I can, in fact, do stretches and Russian at the same time, as long as it's review. That is just flippin' awesome.

Today is a day of simple pleasures. For instance, the pleasure of being able to pack up and send out people's autographed pictures with materials scavenged from work without having to pay stupid UPS prices for packing materials. No, no one got packing peanuts. Domestic pictures went out today, which is probably the quickest I've ever gotten them out (I still need to send out someone's that I've had since last year. I are bad kitty.) and international ones will probably go out towards the end of the week, on account of needing more frames. Or if you two want to frame them yourselves I can immobilize them in cardboard and send them out. Damn, why do you people all live in the UPS boonies? Also, defy_n_gravity, I don't have an email address for you but since it's relatively close you might actually get yours tomorrow.

Things to do tonight, so I don't forget:
1. Tie-dye
2. Vacuum craft room, if boy hasn't done so already
3. Write my fingers off.
4. German
5. Don't die.
6. So you can rep to your artist.

I'm not sure what to do with this soup. I don't think I'll make it again without going back to the original recipe, because I substituted chunked tomatos for pureed tomatos since that was what I had. And it's tasty, but it's not soup, it's soggy vegetable matter. Tasty soggy vegetable matter! It's like a tiny flood happened in the pantry and a lot of spices and veggies sat together for a few days. Only without the mold. After the second day of experimenting, for future bentos, I think I'll put a bit of wheat flour in when I put it in the bento, and commit adultery on it with a packet of soy sauce when I heat it up at work. That seems to make everything better.

... And that, doctor, was when I realized I have to think at least a little bit in five different languages every weekday. Holy moly mother of fuck. If exercising your brain is good for you and keeps you mentally healthy, I'm training for at least the X games or something.

I really wish being an adult wasn't so hard. Especially an adult in a one-income household. We've got a main room lamp that needs replacing badly, rent is due, and while I'm not financially worried about any of this, we're skating a lot closer to the wire than I really want to be. On the plus side, in a month and a half (two months of billing cycle) my credit card will be entirely paid off, again, so for Christmas I will give me a decent-sized money cushion. But it's still irritating. I'd like to be able to get a new TV, too, so we don't keep running into the problem of wacky aspect ratios for shows that are designed to be watched on the fuckoff big TVs with HD. But that's not going to happen. The other plus side, I guess, is that I've also (apart from the TV) already spent all the fuckloads of money I was going to around the end of the year. And now it's just being very careful, watching what I spend, and paying off the credit card from D*C prep and D*C. ... Ooh, another side effect of prepping this early, not spending 300$ in one month on a costume. Guh. Why is being an adult so hard? She whined, with food on her table and a roof over her head.

Maybe if I ever get caught up at work I can dye my yarn and knit a Dr Who scarf out of it, because that's really about all it's going to be good for. It's first-run spun yarn. On the other hand, I have a wheel now, and I can spin yarn for EVERY FLIPPIN BODY. Why yes, I'm having way too much fun with this.
