OK, so besides politics I do have lotsa self-stuff going on. It's just that I've been reading metafilter lately, and in this very vitrolic time the left-lean of the site sends plenty of outraged news posts tumbling down. I've been looking for more just neat stuff to post, but there's lots of polito-rough to go through... of course I enjoy that too, but I'm not as single-minded as I've taken to seeming.
We're all settled into our apartment, been here about a month I guess, and I love it. We've had a couple of living-together spats, but nothing too serious, and the place itself is wonderful. It's that "just right" of the littlest fit. And cheap. Yay cheap.
Job I mentioned quite some time ago that I interviewed for I started on Monday with a nice pay raise, good consistent hours, complete lack of gay uniforms (casual Friday I can wear jeans! woot!) — heck, they're even starting my health insurance this month, so no gap in coverage. And I had Columbus day off. ^_^
Wonkiness with the telephone I worked out yesterday. The previous tenant hadn't bothered to disconnect the line or anything, so I had to get my landlord to call the company before I could get service in my name. If any of you HBG/FL people would like the number send me an email.
Going to the Ren Faire and probably this cool little candy shop that carries old small fifties-companies candies later this week/end. That'll be fun.
Saw Silver City yesterday at our local independent, the Midtown Cinema. It was excellent, a bit to the left and rather satirical without being too polemic.
Monday night I got rather tipsy and blathered to m'love about a certain fanfic alternate-history kind of idea I've been batting around for a while using the Marvel Universe. We're both really enjoying laying out wouldn't-it-be-cools. I think we'll sit down and do some outlining tonight. And we'll write it. And we'll submit it. And if Marvel doesn't want it we'll put it up somewhere on the 'net for interested folks to read. Yes. This is the plan.
(So if I don't talk any more about it, those of y'all who are sad to see creative people wasting potential should nag me. ^_~ )
