Felicitations

Happy (belated) birthday to wildnsquirrelly, Mr. Turns-Thirty-Before-Me! :-P

May the week bring you joy, pirates, and crappy chocolate donuts.

EDIT: Additional felicitations to matchgirl42 and chainwoman on their birthday today. I wish them hot sex, and hot sex, respectively. ;)

What I learned this weekend

1. There is nowhere in Kansas City (with the possible exception of the airport) where one can get one's shoes shined on short notice. I have noted before that Midwesterners generally dress badly, and I'm adding this observation on to that one. Wear crappy shoes, Kansas City, it's okay, everyone else is doing it. NOTE: I am actually pleased that Midwesterners dress badly, because that makes one less thing that I have to worry about in life. And, in the unfashionable, slightly autistic heart of my heart, I really prefer to wear black t-shirts and jeans all the time anyway.

2. As I feared, the weight-loss is returning me to previous comic-book proportions. I tried to buy a new bra on Saturday, and was measured out as a 34DDD. 34DDD, children. You cannot buy anything for this off the rack. For those of you for whom buying large bras is not an everyday activity, the alarming part of this is that you can't really buy anything larger than a C cup in anything smaller than a 36 band. A 34DDD is probably the equivalent of looking for men's pants in 28 waist, 38 inseam. Or some such thing.

3. The me of six months ago was clever, and the me of today is still listening to that old me subconsciously. Having failed to put the end-of-EiR events on the calendar, I look at the next few weeks and discover that I don't really have to reschedule much of anything to attend them, yay, and that we were smart enough to split out 'critique of final ritual and review of test' from 'graduation ceremony'. We are smart.

Potter book bought

Broke down and bought the Potter book. I was ordering books anyway (had to pick up Antero Alli's Angel Tech for lexpendragon's book club...), and Barnes and Noble online is doing a free shipping thing...

And, of course, I got it though iGive, so Gaia Community gets a cut. (Stealthy plea to support church, yo.)

Of course, I already know how it ends, courtesy of some jackweed posting sans cut in a community I belong to, but I'm not hugely alarmed by spoilers. I sort of use them as milestones ("Oh, yeah, that's how that happens. I was wondering how they were going to get there."). And it does go on the bottom of the reading list, after all the library books and the book club books, and the books we've borrowed from orcjohn and capriciouslass. So by the time I get around to it, I'll probably have forgotten the spoilers anyway.

In which malvito is curious

1) What would you define as the difference in your relationship now that you all (or, to honor mah Missourah heritage, "y'all") have declared yourselves as being officially engaged? Not much, really, if anything. I expect that at some point (i.e. after the rings arrive from the shop) this will transition us into a phase where we have to talk more about the relationship outside the household, but that's about it. It's more a symbolic event than a transformational one, I suppose.

2) What would be your ideal job? capriciouslass already asked that one, so I'm dodging it here.

3) Did AGAMEMNON kill your desire to stage manage again, or only under certain directors? Eh, to say I ever had a desire to stage manage is probably a vast overstatement. I will do it, but it's not like something I really get excited about doing -- it's the theater equivalent of the administrative assistant, you know, the only position on the staff that's not in any way required to be creative. But no, I would certainly never work with the gentleman in question again in any capacity. My tolerance for aggravation is not so high, you know? I would, however, like to be in a show sometime, if my schedule will ever allow it.

4) You remember your dreams so vividly (I envy that about you); do you feel this to be an advantage or do you have moments in which you wish you had a bit more control over the dream content? I actually can manipulate the content some of the time. But it's often more interesting to simply see where it's going. Then, later, you can be like, what the hell was that about? Can I do anything with that?

5) Do you have a favorite movie genre? Depends. Is 'films about giant monsters' a genre? 'Cuz I prefer that.
