There's currently a weirdo heatwave hitting New England, with temperatures reaching upwards of 80 outside. You can imagine, between that and the full-blast heating inside, how it gets. Now, I have asthma, so heat and summer and muggy are really bad for me. There's a finite amount of layers you can take off (Especially when working with children) and only so much cold water you can drink before being on your feet all day starts to get to you. So, my school initiated a school-wide, teachers and students, dress down policy for the next two days, with the following two days on a 'let's see' basis. I came in a light polo and jeans- way out of dress code, and no flak. I was able to move my class to the gym basement- where its the coolest, yesterday, so my students could not pass out, and actually learn something. No flak. They're really supportive about minor changes, and given where I went to school and the types of scenarios I experienced as a student, seeing this level of community awareness and care from the faculty side is really great.
So just a little bit of shoutout to them for trying to make the best of a weird, hot, muggy, bad situation.
I have an AMAZING sublet lined up for Nov. 1st.
My boyfriend is getting closer to a newer higher paying job and transitioning out of his current one.
Still on track to move to Seattle in December
Everything has been looking so good. I love it.
I told him, "Water me."

As it comes to a stop, an activity is revealed: bring that special person. Your quest is to travel to the Northern Tundra and bring that special person while reciting the alphabet in Tsinkin. Good luck!After a series of miscommunications, shitty service supervisors, and delays, it looks like my car will be back to normal, entirely, by tomorrow. Mechanical and Body work.
And it only took them 48 days.
It was wonderful to see so many people competing for dance, and I had fun designing my costume and a couple other masks for people, even if the time-pressure as a bit scurry close to the last week with the Great Hunt etc.
So in short: I
Every year they put together a new show (this year's production was sensational, they just keep getting better and better) and this weekend it was time for premiere. As usual, they had a package deal for old members, meaning pre-drinks, a ticket to the show, and a 3-course meal and party. People tend to dress up for this particular thing, meaning I had the opportunity once again to put on my lovely ballgown. That I later in the evening mingled with a bunch of crazy, practically (or literally) half-naked people, didn't make me feel like an outsider at all. It's just one of those fantastically awesome parties you don't want to miss out on.
It's at times like that I feel like I should make an effort to get out more than I do. Soon.

Despite the change in plans, the rest of the trip was wonderful. I finally got to go to Disney World after always wanting to as a kid. I got to see alligators. Went to Medieval Times. Went to the Kennedy Space Center and got to watch a panel with a bunch of Apollo mission astronauts, which was super cool. We spent a few days in Gettysburg on the way back and toured the battlefields and a few museums.
I've never traveled much before this, and I'm excited knowing that going to new places is something that I'll finally be able to do.
I don't think I've ever been happier.

I remember vividly watching this movie at Otakon in 2007 and being enthralled from start to finish. Really can't wait to revisit it.
That video has me terrified, but interested. Then again, as long as it doesn't reach levels of mindmonkery like Serial Experiments Lain, or Paranoia Agent, which I know most of the Ghost in the Shell content does not do, choosing instead to use the philosophical approaches to examine issues, I think I'd enjoy watching it.
Edit: Apparently I found a word not in the filter!

I just had to do LOOKUP SARTHOK, and it allowed me to form a better mental image. I went from some sort of six-legged cat, to a six-legged lizard, to what I imagine is a cross between a lizard and a pangolin, but with six legs.
I love that my business idea is slowly becoming a reality. I meet with a pattern maker from NYC on January 15th to talk sizing strategies for plus size bodies and I begin formal business planning on January 29th. I've been so inspired lately and ideas have just been pouring out.
I'm finally over the Strep/asthma/cold onslaught, which is awesome.
