(no subject)

I guess I'm back again? I just sort of...stopped reading on LJ or DW three or four weeks ago :/ I need to come up with a better way of dealing with downswings. The only way I could face up to backreading was by picking an arbitrary date to backread to, so I picked Monday.

I had an awesome time with Team DC at the end of April! We saw Avengers at midnight and I had shwarma the next day, which, \o/! Then there was the first fun. show of awesome, Cinco's delicious birthday brunch, and the second fun. show of awesome (with bonus unexpected line buddy).

Unfortunately, my state decided to suck shortly after I got back to NC, and then the internet decided to suck in response, which led to my self-imposed exile. Suffice to say I have a ton of feelings about the coverage of and reaction to Amendment 1 in NC and how that contrasts with Amendement 8 in California, and how that says a lot about the privileges and prejudices of the people covering and reacting to the votes and aftermath.

Other Things What I Have Done include:

• Played an extra in a trailer for a local steampunk convention.


• Seen five Hitchcock films, which is five more than I'd ever seen before. Vertigo, The Lady Vanishes, Rope, Spellbound, and Psycho. I'm catching Rebecca with my mother tonight.


• Stressed over the many potential ways my garden can die! I've diagnosed my one tomato plant with a nitrogen deficiency and applied fertilizer to the problem. I'm incredibly relieved it's a deficiency because one of my housemate's tomato plants had blight. DNW!


• Determined that said housemate is definitely moving out at the end of July.


• Found a potential show buddy in the form of the DJ who goes on after me.


• Fallen (more) into Avengers fandom, and also into hockey RPF and (oh god) Teen Wolf. IDEK.


• Learned the HTML to make an unordered list.

Con.txt is coming up (YAY!) and the weekend after that is Heroes Con, which I will be attending because ♥BECKY CLOONAN♥ will be there.
