We went to Florida for our fifth anniversary. Our anniversary is in June, but I requested that we go in October, because I've always wanted to see Disney all dolled up for Halloween.
I will never plan a trip to Disney World in any other month. We had an amazing time! I'll cover the Magic Kingdom first, even though we did other stuff before it, because I want to and it's my LJ. Nyah.
( Magical! )
Next time: More Disney! Or Universal. |

The best part about cleaning up the living room is the way that kiddo follows me and patiently undoes everything that I do.
Oh, wait. No.
The best part about cleaning up the living room is finding all the little pieces to all the toys! It's like a scavenger hunt!
Oh, wait. No, because toys get squirreled away under cushions/thrown down the stairs/hidden inside other toys, which are hidden inside other toys, so that everything must be examined thoroughly and things will still be missing.
The best part about cleaning the living room is that it's done.
Yes. That's it. At least, it was done. Sisyphus would make a great housewife. |

Remember when I used to have opinions about stuff? Opinions that I didn't painstakingly write out and then fail to post because of the quivering, terror-filled nonsense that is my abiding belief that what I say is useless/uninteresting/incomprehensible? (And oh, I could write pages about how the social contract of politeness has completely screwed up my self-confidence...but anyway.)
Opinions. Yes!
...uh...
...let me get back to you. *sigh* |

So, Portal 2 is awesome. We all know that.
Did you know about the secret conspiracy theories regarding Chell/GLaDOS/Cave Johnson? And did you know I have something to add to them?
( I keep calling Wheatley 'Bertram' because it fits him so well. ) |

I have been playing DCU Online. It's a wonderful game. I can tell, because I can play for what feels like five minutes and look up to find that I've been playing for five hours.
There is something ineffably wonderful about blowing things up with Joker bombs. And beating Huntress to a pulp with the aid of Catwoman. And getting presents from Ambush Bug. Also, Catwoman invited me to dinner, but I think she's programmed to treat everyone like a dude.
Did I mention that Batman and the Joker are voiced by - wait for it - Keven Conroy and Mark Hamill? Oh yes, oh yes indeedy. |

I'm still alive.
I'm switching medication again. This means that I have a serious case of the brain zaps. (Never had 'em? Feel happy.) The zaps are paired with dizziness, which is awesome when I lay in bed and feel like I'm Alice in Wonderland falling down the rabbit hole while Maxie Zeus gives me a brain massage. The good news is that it will go away, eventually, but I'm impatient.
In other news, I just got done disassembling the laptop, cleaning it, and reassembling it. Everything works, nothing caught on fire, and no one was horribly injured. (Well, Kyle came close, but that would have been an injury from me throwing him onto the floor and screaming "CAT STAY OFF MY HARD DRIVE OR I WILL KEEEEEEL YOU!!" Fortunately, he listened to my last spiteful threat and stayed away, so I didn't have to drop-kick him.
I'm in another play!...did I say anything about my last play? I don't remember. Anyway, that one was a farce/comedy in which there was lots of hugging and smooches and roller skating. Also, one night, I almost skated off the stage and into the concrete pit twelve feet below! The current play has very little death-defying action, though. I'm a chorus member and a co-choreographer (I was the sole choreographer until I realized that I had no clue what I was doing).
I've been extremely bad about writing things. (Well, things for the internet, at any rate.) I hope I can change that.
Off to lay down until the zapping eases up!

The only reason I ever started organizing my stuff was that I was sick of feeling that sweaty, sweaty panic upon missing something vitally important.
One morning and one massively sweaty panic session later, I've found half of what I was looking for. On one hand, I am delighted to know that I still have the ornaments I was missing - in particular, the little alphabet-block BABY ornament that I purchased when I was pregnant. On the other hand, the tree skirt is still missing, which means that there is another box out there.
Organizer's Tip: Never store your valuables next to the pile of things to throw away. Even if you are extra scrupulous about checking things before you toss them, there will always always be that nagging sensation in the back of your mind that everything you ever loved is in the city dump. (This is why I sympathize with the people on Hoarders when the professionals are urging them to dump stuff all willy-nilly. I wouldn't want to do that, and I'm not even a hoarder!)
However, the search went massively quickly today, mostly because I've been extremely careful to sort boxes and clearly label them as I went along the organizing trail. Not having to dig through 10+ boxes because you already know what's in them is definitely a time-saver. (Having to re-stack them because of an impromptu avalanche is less of a time-saver, but at least nothing was broken.)
Let's see...oh! Health-wise, I'm doing pretty awesomely. I can sleep for eight hours and not take a nap the next day, which is something that hasn't happened in a loooooong time. I feel energetic, and in fact I'm sometimes downright perky. Chest pains are all but gone, even without the Advil. Hurrah!
And now I'm off to pretend to be a socially adept adult and try out for a play. Wish me luck and broken legs!

Yes, I am aware that updatening isn't a word, but it sounds fun.

Oh, yes, and it's snowing. Snow! Yay, I guess!

Oh, I know - nothing is more entertaining than reading about someone's trip to the doctor!
No, not entertaining. What's the word...tedious. Nevertheless, I'm writing about it, because I can.

I'm going to try to finish my degree.
It is a degree in nothing, but I suppose that having a degree in nothing is better than having a half-finished degree in nothing.
I'm registering for my first class as soon as I acquire a credit card with the correct name on it. (Capital One recently decided that my last name was spelled with an M. Whee.)
I hope I don't get sick and fail out again! It's only happened, what, fourteen times? Fifteenth time's the charm! Just like how Rimmer's going to pass his astro-navigation exam one day, once he stops claiming to be a fish.
(i am a fish i am a fish i am a fish i am a fish i am a fish)
