Please enjoy my next chapter.
The next scene will probably go on for several chapters, so today's has become a little smaller and I hope you don't mind it.

Thanks for reading and thank you for taking the time to comment. It means the world to me. ♥

Had some caramel vanilla tea. I want to make spaghetti for dinner tonight so I went to the grocery store to get sauce, decided to try a brand called Italian Market, I got the tomato sauce w/artichokes. I often buy the Paul Newman but they only had the bigass jars and I'm only making spaghetti for myself so I don't need that much.

I want to be a good ally but I don't go to Pride anymore because somebody hit or kicked me in the ass when my back was turned, so I'm not doing anything this weekend other than watch more CSI DVDs.

Current Music: the Turtles

I just did some grocery shopping but I screwed up and bought raisins when I already had raisins, I just forgot I had them and didn't check before I went to the store. I'm going to go swimming this afternoon.

Well, so far, reports of my hiatus have been a bit exaggerated - as Mum has pointed out, BT are paying for the hotspot I'm currently using while waiting for the correct mini hub as per my last post's story of their screwup, (something tells me I will be needing the link they sent me for a rapid call back, as I'm not overly confident about the correct mini hub turning up tomorrow). Meanwhile, Olly Alexander's Eurovision is permanently stuck in my head due to the amount of time I have spent on hold doing battle! Nothing against the guy, (he actually went to art college here, and the local media practically reports on it every time he farts) but could quite happily never hear the song any more. Hoping it will be sorted soon though and I probably should apologise for the amount of ranty posts this week so far (and it's only Monday).

On the plus side the heatwave is finally over (I'm trying to ignore the usual clickbait spam that I'm still getting sent about 39 degree heatwaves on the way, but hoping this isn't the one time they got it right - who am I kidding though with this rubbish?).

Anyway, since I'm trying for a few less Ranty McRantFace posts for a bit, and also conscious that I haven't done a lot of Fannish 50 ramble lately, I'll quickly do one of those.

Say you come across a show you think you like the sound of, only it was cancelled before you got round to it (or you get a few episodes in and then find out it didn't get renewed) do you still carry on anyway, or decide not to bother once you know it's not going anywhere (and left on a cliffhanger)? Something I've been thinking about since I finally got round to checking out Outer Range (which I think was recommended to me by one of those Shows to Watch If You like Show X lists - considering the subject matter, probably Dark, which is one of my all time top five). I did know going into it that it had been decided not to renew for season 3, already have writing ideas for once I have better wifi, but find myself feeling frustrated at the knowledge that I won't get questions answered and have moments of wondering how much it's worth it in that situation.

Had some Prince of Wales tea. I am marking time till I hear from L. about when we're getting together.

Some moron pulled the fire alarm three times after I went swimming. If I were really paranoid I'd think they were trying to fuck with me.

Not much going on here. I went to the Berkeley end of Telegraph ave earlier today but not much was going on there either.

The museum had lots of gorgeous art from all over Asia in lots of different media. I've never seen Indian animation before. The drag queens were a lot of fun to watch too, I only wish my friend had shown up. He texted me that he was too tired. Also I have to remember to bag my own food next time I go there, the shrimp veggie rice noodle thing I had was tasty but much too overpriced.

Current Music: Red Hot Chili Peppers

I kind of want to request more options for Just Married. But I don't have the time or energy to write a letter. This weekend is non-stop. Tonight I opted out of a movie I kind of wanted to see (Mickey 17 if you were wondering) because I'm just THAT TIRED and wanted time out.

I have no idea if these are valid, or behind paywalls or what. They're just articles I've been collecting for a bit.

( various links and whatnot )

I mean, I'm happy, but also tired... And I don't really have time to write (or do anything) right now. Partly work, but partly also my life, and partly also *gestures at the world* You know.

Have I mentioned that I've managed to grow broccoli in the garden? It's kind of AMAZING.

I don't have a more recent pic of the 'broccoli bed' (the one with the netting on it) where the broccoli are larger-sized. I'll try to take one tomorrow morning.

I had so much fun bar hopping with my friends last night! Also really looking forward to going to the Asian art museum later today, in addition to all the awesome art they normally have there, they're also doing a drag show, those are always fun. One of my friends from last night will be meeting me there, I hope.

Looking forward to seeing my friend for drinks and possibly dinner at North Light this evening. I've been thinking and I seriously doubt she'll judge me negatively about the overpriced tarot card business. Anyway I had a text conversation w/her earlier this morning and she didn't even bring the subject up.

Current Music: Radiohead

The Brightness Between Us by Eliot Schrefer (Queer Ducks (and Other Animals): The Natural World of Animal Sexuality) was excellent. It's part sequel, part prequel to The Darkness Outside Us.

As you definitely need to go into Book 1 knowing as little as possible, I can't talk about the plot of Book 2. Let's just say that it was a pleasure to meet these characters again.

There's major m/m, minor m/nb, as well as an asexual female character.

Had some English Afternoon tea. The tarot readings were $35 each which I think is too expensive so I just had a drink and left. I'm supposed to have my friend come over and visit tomorrow, she's the same person who told me about the tarot thing in the first place and I think she'll probably ask about it and I'm feeling too embarrassed to tell her.
