Yum.

I'm pretty sure that a 90 calorie pack of mini multigrain rice cakes with chocolatey (not chocolate) drizzle has to be the lamest, girliest snack ever. The bag feels like it doesn't weigh anything, yet the contents are weirdly satisfying right now.

 

This observation of the moment brought to you by mid-afternoon hunger and Studio E isolation. Back to sound editing fun now.

Heck, yes.

I did it. I placed the order. Sometime next week, I will be the proud owner of this little beauty. I've been putting this off a long time (mostly agonizing between two cameras), but finally... Jen gets a cool package from the UPS guy.

Also picked up this and this, because shipping was free and I'm a book dork. Dark Sea looks pretty awesome because Andrew Peterson is cool, I like kids' fantasy, and honestly... how can toothy cows be anything less than freakin' rad? (Jeff will be so proud. :)) Orphaned Anythings*... eh, I'm skeptical, but curious and hopeful that he can write fiction as well as song lyrics. One can only hope... I'm just mentally preparing for pretentious, postmodern weirdness. Can't be any odder than some of the stuff I read in college. *shrug*

So yeah. I am about 250 bucks poorer, but happy, darnit.


*I refuse to include the apostrophe in the title. My inner grammar dork won't let me. :P

woohoo.

I'll admit, I'm pretty suspicious over anything free. Especially money. But as strange as the whole Economic Stimulus concept was to me... it sure was exciting getting a random check in the mail today. Kinda like Christmas or something.

I can't deny that I will get a lot of joy out of depositing that thing tomorrow. (Yeah, I go the check route instead of auto-deposit, 'cause I'm old school like that.) It seriously made my day go from good to awesome.

And wouldn't you know... just in time for Godspeed's 60K mile check up.

Welcome to the real world. :)

Crafting, Dancing, and Jen's Hair

A few random Saturday morning thoughts...

1) Had a ridiculous sewing/refashioning bug lately. Just a crafting mood... currently attempting to turn a defective yet free T-shirt into a summery tank top (key word: attempting). If this works, it could be so made of awesome (if I may humbly say so :)).

2) I still can't decide if I really need to set up a separate blog for that stuff, because I'm dying to post pictures of all these little projects.

3) Today is Drawing Day. My sister has been trying to get me to draw again, so this could be a good excuse. Go draw some stuff, even if you don't think yourself an artist. It's good for the soul.

4) Tomorrow is the last day of my Swing Series class. So sad. Or at least it would be, if I weren't already registered to start Lindy Hop the following week. I confess, I must be hooked.

5) And on a related note, I think I dreamed last night that I forgot to go to said class tomorrow. What? No idea where that came from...

6) I want to get my hair cut so so badly. It's like the weather gets hot and suddenly I think it's too long and hate dealing with it every morning. Ugh. (Right, like you really wanted to know that...)
