Had a great weekend. Jo-chan came over on Saturday, (she drove here herself. I can't say that didn't kind of give me the warm fuzzies and, at the same time, break my heart a little.) Once I got home from work we watched a few funny clips on the internet, then set down to play RE:DC. I kinda missed that game and it was fun to revisit it. We talked a lot about: fish, pets, wellness, school, fandom, and how gaming is kind of like meditation. My Mom was at work, and we decided to cook dinner before she got home. I got my iPod and dock from my house, plugged it in, and we listened to music while we cut up tomatoes, mushrooms, and hearts of palm to mix in with quinoa rice. After dinner, we listened to the hilarious "Dramatic Reading" clips (see below,) then the three of us sat down in pajamas, ate dairy and gluten free ice cream, and watched Blazing Saddles.

Sunday, Jo-chan and I played RE:DC some more, and then she drove herself home. I absolutely teared up when she drove away. Seeing her in her little VW, sleek little sunglasses, Bluetooth in her ear, driving down the road like, well, like a woman, got me all emo. I thought, "Look at her; she looks like Gillian Anderson. She's going to college next year. She's ten times smarter than I was at that age. Dad and Grandma should be here to see this." And all other manner of other similar, to-be-expected things.

Today I slept late, started the laundry, did some critiques on SFF, talked a long time on the phone with Gold Dragon, and took the dogs outside for extended playtime. Playtime for all three of us, I mean, because it is SIXTY DEGREES TODAY, PEOPLE. For the first time in months, I went outside and my ass did not fall off and shatter with the cold. I could actually breathe. Once, while running with Haku, I even took my coat off and just wore my heavy sweater.

It makes me wish it was Spring, and Spring makes me wish it was Summer. I adore summer, but I also realize that this one is going to be really difficult. I just hope it's not too bad, and that I can squeeze in some joy, too.

Things that mean nothing to anyone but me:

I can do pushups. I never could before, and now I can.

I downloaded the OST for TsuiokuHen. I wanted to buy it, but I know I absolutely can't keep putting things on my credit card, and TsuiokuHen is mad expensive.

Sifu actually wants to borrow TsuiokuHen, the movie, which I think is neat, actually, and I hope he likes it.

Kenshin the fish is better! No more white spots! And, I think I want a big yellow snail, and a green cory for the little tank. My fish completely rule, by the way. They let me pet them. Fish tanks this year have been my best investment. It's weird, the sort of peace they give you. Except for the fact that my angelfish Quatre is kind of acting like a douchebag to swordtail Kaoru.

I started jogging again. God damn, I forgot how hard that is to begin.

My Wonderful Glassworker Friend is having a major upcoming change, and I'm so happy for her.

I ordered Samurai X, the movie. I love ordering things and then forgetting that I ordered them. Then, when they get here, it's like a nice little prize.

Gluten-free pasta for dinner, and then Kung Fu tonight. Spring-like weather always makes me happy to work out, and to be with my friends. You know, it makes me want to kick ass, but in a good, happy way.

Well, I'd better finish up this last critique while I've got time.

Ciao!
