glitch25 Ever had a weekend that is both really good and really not good for two strong and opposite reasons? Yeah. That. :-)
Could be worse. And the good was really good. And the bad was not as bad as it could have been. At least. I think so. It isn't quite over yet, but soon. You never really know til the recap, yaknow?
The week was pretty good. Monday I got to hang out with a new friend and be introduced to her two charming kitties. One of which is a bit of a dick, but I'm figuring I'll wear him down. The other recognized my desire to be a kitty-human and took lots of advantage. PIano was played, epic sewing machines and looms were revealed, and great dinner and conversation had as well. Definitely a successful evening. I came home and got some electrical work finished as well that I can only do when parts of the house are vacant. :-) Yay for vacancy and getting to do the thing.
Tuesday involved sitting in on late rehearsal for the Bone Poets concert this last weekend. Always nifty to watch the process of putting it together. I feel a lot of comfort as a performer knowing that it is about hard work and dedication that those who put on such awesome shows do to make it all happen.
Wednesday involved a change of venue for a short time to mitigate some issues that have arisen. It's good when you can figure yourself out enough to consider your own needs and work to make things acceptable all around in difficult situations. One the whole, it meant I got to spend some more dedicated time with S and that time gave us a chance to do some housekeeping and organization that needed to be done.
Thursday was my first outing at Saber Guild! Saber Guild, for those of you that might not know, is a Star Wars cosplay organization that performs lightsaber battles at charitable events and conventions. It is a really nifty group, and they do good work and spread a lot of joy in what they do. I joined strictly as an observer, but it was fun watching the folks do their thing and learn new stuff. Again, as a performer, it is nifty to watch the amount of effort and practice that goes into performance and to learning one's craft. Something else I did was work really hard to find ways to remember names of people I met and re-met that night. I have a tendency to be bad at it, and I made a different effort to work it out and I believe I'm making good progress. :-)
Friday night was date night out, and we had dinner and got to see the latest Fantastic Beasts movie. I'm sure there are bits I've missed being a poor Harry Potter fan, and I haven't read anything since Deathly Hallows, so if there is source material that got brutally fucked with, I wasn't privy, but on the whole, I thought the movie was good, It is lovely that Johnny Depp has taken on definitive bad-guy status so that it makes it easier for me to give to him personally the energy that he, the actor, deserves. Not that he ever made it difficult. Aside, loved the casting, and I'm continually impressed with Eddie Redmayne. Newt is such a fucking Hufflepuff. OMFG. :-)
Saturday was an easier speed day. Nice breakfast, playing with a new toy I got myself for Christmas, and some organization to prepare for the big push on Sunday. Saturday evening was the Bone Poets concert, and despite some situational discomfort, the evening went well, and the concert was good. I got a little bit of time to spend with G, and I got to hang out with some new friends there. We ended the outing a little early, but opted to come home and have long conversations until the wee hours. It was nice.
Sunday was the great push, and we managed to accomplish a lot! It was nice to devote the time and to see very clearly the progress made. Good breakfast was had, and we took appropriate breaks. Then we shuttled around running errands and doing a little shopping. If you haven't made it to Sky Nursery in Shoreline to see their Christmas ornament sale, you totally should. They are fantastic! I'd also highly recommend Swanson's as well. As S lovingly made a fantastic dinner for us, I dipped my toe very briefly into Elder Scrolls Online. As expected, that could be a dangerous place. It was free this weekend,and I finally got a chance to see what the fuss was about. If I can find time, it will be interesting! Dinner and media had, and then the night ended early since I have to get up and 0-dark-thirty to get to work, but it was a good night.
Tonight will be the Jim Henson's Holiday Special from Fathom Events. On the docket is Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas and, I am led to believe, some abomination with the Fraggles in it. I'm told to be dubious. I guess we'll see. I'm sad that it is likely that Emmet Otter won't contain Kermit. I think a lot of folks may forget that Kermit was originally in Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas. Fortunately, this being the internet age, I have obtained a fan-generated copy where the footage in question was lovingly restored along with bits that got removed in order to make the movie more main-stream acceptable. I really hate it when people retcon or otherwise fuck with shit. I had enough people fucking with my childhood to be happy with you doing it too, Disney. Either way, I'll enjoy getting to see it on the big screen. Are you going?
Tomorrow I shall be settling back into what will be a crazy holiday season. I have some piano to practice in anticipation of G's album and need to get some tracks laid before the trip to The Engineer. G's heading up early and I'm following over the weekend. I'm excited to watch the process and to see The Studio. And as it turns out, I'm also rather fond of J and M and looking forward to spending some time with them. That will take us to Christmas Eve. And it's all down hill after that. :-)
Happy Monday, y'all. Hope your weekend was good! Have a good day!
