trucking along okay
I feel weirdly like I have nothing to do and too many things to do at the same time, so perhaps making a list will help.
No particular order, varying wildly in levels of urgency, importance, and time commitment.
Things to get done:
- Figure out school for the fall: what courses to take, and sign up for them. Decide if the "Theory of Colour" course is a good one to take right now (alongside probably Intermediate Accounting II: Liabilities and All That Jazz?) or if I just want to do one course at a time atm. Or if I'm feeling Industrious (ahaha no) and want to do two BComm courses.
- Investigate deaf/HOH-friendly first aid courses. It's a good time, while I'm off the lights and in town where they, you know, give the courses.
- Investigate possible sign language course? Last time, Mucca took one and I didn't since I had to work, leading to the non-deaf person in the household knowing more sign than the deaf one. :P
- Paint my nails (probably rainbow colours again, that's fun)
- Finish reading Ancillary Mercy. I like it so far (especially Zeiat!) but have only settled down to read for small snatches.
- Set up for multiplayer Mass Effect games withjustice_turtle. :D :D Going to take a stab at that tonight. I think it's ME3 or something which I've not played? Anyway, exciting. :D
Things checked off to-do list:
- Get a pillow I can sleep on. I think I have one! Squishable, but not too flat. Will sleep on it tonight and see.
- Buy boots! I have wide feet and nothing ever damn well fits, at least not in interesting colours or designs. But I found some ankle boots that fit pretty well, good stompy soles but not super heavy like Docs. And they're a deeply satisfying shade of red. :D My entire wardrobe is basically shades of blue with a bit of green & purple thrown in, but for some reason red boots were important.
- Get Dark Matter sci-fi show to watch. Also Magic Mike XXL and Paddington (2014).
- Grocery shop. Make chicken tikka masala. It was pretty good; should get the proper spices to make it from scratch without the pre-mixed curry paste, but it wasn't half bad as it was. Plus, I remembered the recipe without the Jamie Oliver cookbook. A first. :D
Tired, want to go home, etc, but probably doing a bit better than Mucca.
Dinner with my brother & his fiancé on Thanksgiving Monday. He's just across the street so that should be fun. :-) No word yet on whether other brother is coming as well or if he's doing something with girlfriend's family.
Will make post aboutCharming Potato Magic Mike XXL and The Martian, both of which we saw this week.

AWW YEAH. (Oh jeez, after all my hype, I hope you like it. It reminds me a bit of Farscape and Firefly, I think that's why I fell for it.)
