...makes a post.
Job continues to be awesome; it's a mark of just how awesome that the commute only started to wear on my this week. (But wear it has. On top of spending hours in the car, I see anywhere from one to four wrecks a day.) But at least it inspires me to do stuff on the weekends, because barring any special events, I'm pretty much coming home, making dinner, and going to bed most weekdays.
Geek BBQ: Last Saturday was lovely and rainy, and then obliged by letting up in the evening so we could walk to Geek BBQ and do the collage-making event one of the regulars was hosting. The last time I collaged was *mumblemumble* decades ago, when I started an (as yet unfinished) deck of Tarot cards, so it was a lot of fun to return to after so long. I ended up doing a double-sided 10x10 inch square with a mixture of nature imagery, Babylonian ruins, and bits and pieces of Phlegm murals.
Concerts: We missed actual Geek BBQ night to go see a show instead, namely Sleater-Kinney. I cannot overstate how excited I was about this show. I had to jump through hoops to buy my first Sleater-Kinney album back in the day, because no one within a four-hour drive would carry it. A Sleater-Kinney t-shirt was—no joke—the second thing I ever bought on the World Wide Web. (I had to go to the bank, buy a cashier's check, put it in the actual postal mail, and then wait for said mail to get to Oregon, for whoever ran Sleater-Kinney's website to cash the check and mail my t-shirt to me, without really knowing if and when I'd get it. Insane compared to the situation today.)
Anyway, the plan was to walk the four-odd miles to the venue's neighborhood, get dinner at another nearby venue, and then head over to the show itself ( but it didn't exactly work out that way. ) Such a great show and I was on an endorphin high from it for a day.
D&D: Another session with Oldest D&D Group this week. We had a pretty intense battle in which I got to play around with some fun warlock capabilities. And I think we might have unleashed a lich into the wild. ...Oops? (I'm sure this will in no way come back to haunt us. DX)
St. Paddy's Day (Observed) We didn't participate in the parade this year because: scheduling conflict, but as a consolation prize Aslin released a limited edition imperial stout—Special Flute—today. (And with a name like that, how could I not try it.) I got two (because the GC knocked my first glass over) and it was very good. It's very close to Padrino (in fact, I suspect it's almost exactly the same thing). Afterward we grabbed some ingredients for the session with Second Oldest D&D Group tomorrow, and I bought a button fern, because.
Building Bullshit: Downstairs woke us up twice at 2 am this week having their regularly scheduled fights. I came downstairs this morning to find Overnight Security Guard and Day Concierge dropping more F-bombs than I've ever heard packed into a discrete amount of seconds (and I say this as a frequent F-bomb dropper myself). Both plan to quit, which would mark the third pair to do so in the last five? six? weeks.
The anger and disgust were apparently occasioned by several individuals who, ( after being banned from the building earlier this week ... )
So the Tenants Association Board had office hours downstairs this morning, and the GC and I, and a bunch of other people went down to talk to them about this stuff and everything else that's been going on. More than one person was advocating for better treatment for the day and overnight personnel, so hopefully something comes of it, because said people deserve it.
