Seriously, what was I thinking when I volunteered to work Bele Chere this weekend? I mean, apart from yay overtime and yay money. No, mostly it was yay overtime and yay money. But that puts me on a six day work week, with writing deadlines, and my head hurts already. Plus being the only one in this apartment who cooks, so if I want nutritious meals... argh.

But I did my check in and have some vague idea of how I'm going to survive the coming week, so at least there's that. Japanese is done, and now maybe we can freaking finally go grocery shopping, there's an ice cream truck outside excuse me

Ahem. Okay, I'm back. So, yes. I guess I just keep plugging at what I can, maybe review the docs com Sunday or even Saturday if it's as quiet-ish as I think it's going to be. Not that Bele Chere weekend is ever quiet, but there's a possibility that my presence there won't be as necessary as some aunts think it is. At which point small tasks easily set down like reading over things would be welcome. I should make up a writing schedule again, somewhere that isn't LiveJournal this time. I think that's the only thing I need to get anymore from LJ. Also. Crap, someone was going to remind me about something. And now I can't remember what it was. Because clearly, this is why I asked someone to remind me!

Yeah, I need a weekend. I am taking not this weekend but next weekend for myself, curling up with my stories and my guitar, and writing and noodling around on the guitar and doing nothing else. Because I need a break soon. Maybe not right now, but soon.

What is Bele Chere if you don't mind my asking? It sounds interesting. Interesting and tiring!

According to this site it's up. Of course, there's no telling how long it'll last.

Keeping my fingers crossed, though.

Status.livejournal says "The nomadic ninja goat herders guarding the servers currently report no site-wide problems." I like nomadic ninja goat herders. But, yeah, I'm not hopeful that it'll stay that way.

Bele Chere is a... oh, cool, it's got a website! It's an annual local street festival that takes over downtown at the end of July every year. It used to be a lot more local musicians, local artisans, now it's a bit more Generic Street Festival, but it's still fun for people to get out and hear music and do some stuff, sample some food here and there.

I appreciate their efforts battling the evil Russian hackers. Pity nothing seems to stick for very long.

Looks like a funny way to spend a weekend. Fun and exhausting. But worth it, I'm sure.

Pretty much. They'll probably be back in another few months or so. At least it's working now.

It was when I was a kid! I'll be in the store all day Friday and Saturday, but I imagine I'll break loose at some point to grab lunch from a street vendor, have some dubious looking meat, and poke my head in some booths.

I managed to find Livejournal's Facebook page. Man, that was both amusing and painful to read.

On the one hand I can sympathize with people's frustrations - for me it was the lack of communication more than anything else, when it happened the damn status page thingie hadn't been updated since the third so it wasn't exactly helpful - but shit happens and there really isn't much you can do about it except wait for them to fix it.

Dubious meets are a staple for those sorts of festivals, aren't they?

... I kind of want to go looking, and on the other hand, no.

Pretty much. I'm glad at least most of the personal stuff is backed up here, and most of the rest of it managed to get sorted out pretty quick. Of course, once I got everything I felt was desperately urgent sorted out, it came back on.

Yep!
