x_losNot a very productive day. Rather lazy and sad. Hard to feel okay when the visa is Out There and I don’t really have answers/security on that. Knowing that I can, quite probably, successfully counter opposition doesn’t feel like a relief so much as a looming obstacle ahead of me.
Have almost used all the left-over-crap from the holidays in various recipes without wasting much of any of it. Score.
--I must be a modern major general, because I read a /lotta/ news
--gave Tamara her tree thing back (IT WAS NOT DEAD!!) and chatted with her
--accepted two packages for housemates, and a Christmas card from the lovely Tu!
--While doing chores, fell in love with Theophilius London’s song “Neighbors”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAaH294LP34
--heated Katy some dinner for recording!sustenance
--read some Strange Horizons review pieces so I can have a better idea of what the other people there are doing/a less solipsistic approach, read a lot of the critical blogs the others are linking to--I’d needed to do this for a while
--dishes
--room
--laundry
--exercised cat (he’s just out of kittenhood really, if you don’t play with him ENERGETICALLY for FUCKING FOREVER he goes bat. shit. at night and pesters everyone in the house/is sadpants)
--went through a batch of potential actors on a weird new site with Katy
--wrote music thoughts on whole series, theme, all episodes, incorporating Katy’s notes
--read Brianna’s edits
--returned thoughts to Brianna
--I’m thinking about trying out for Gawker weekend editor position, discussed it w/ Danny and emailed Jenna, decided what I might do, scoped out pay-rates
--talked to Oakfield Consulting
--decided what to do for dinner tomorrow
--assembled some of the shapelier macaroons, took photos
--organized my lj as an RSS feed to save time last night--still having teething troubles with that
--listened to three auditions w/ Katy, generated comments
Some other stuff moved into the cleared pile in the last days (not all of it, because I didn't do good updates at the weekend, or even the more important shit, and in no real order--just need to clear it off the list):
--talked to Molly about stupid package (again)
--apply for adjudicator job (http://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/adjudicator-complaint-handler/21012354)
--apply for the 4 other Reed jobs
ENDED UP APPLYING FOR 9 JOBS TOTAL, WITH COVER LETTERS
--final touches on visa ap
--mail visa ap
--changed Landmark dollars into Barclays pounds
--reminded Katy to list Doctor Who game
--hartnell bday challenge
--made something with egg whites (http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/112/2), (http://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/features/4254.html#articleAfterMpu), (http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2005/10/#000137), (http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2005/10/french-chocolat/)
--Top shelf: threw away the gone-off stuff and labeled the rest house property on Sunday (MUST REMEMBER TO TRY AND USE ALL THIS SHIT UP/GET IT GONE)
And musings on Pregnance:
Daniel: Beyonce's kid is named blue ivy
i think her next kid is purple kudzu
just calling it now
me: Danny, I already listened to the rap about this [in which Jay Z raps jubilantly about having spawned]
and I feel: correct
except when you say on fb that you're waiting for it [Purple Kudzu] to drop
you fundamentally misunderstand the nature of kudzu
that shit is clinging in there like a horrific foetus that dies inside, rots, and takes mom with it in the highest female gothic tradition
Cut to Jay Z wandering around Manderlay, screaming raps to the sea
the cold, uncaring sea
I guess Purple Kudzu truly was... destiny's child?
IN THAT IT WAS DESTINED TO KILL. O_O
