Waiting for Lightning to Strike

A very hyperbolic and overblown title to describe the fact that I’m procrastinating package design for a few minutes while I let my brain try to find inspiration for random sports equipment.

What’s new world?

Well, you’ll just have to let me know in the comments down below.

What’s new with me?  This and that.

I was notified by my soon to be apartment managers that I can actually move in early if I want, so I am going to get all official a week before my planned move in, so that by the weekend of the 23rd I might actually have power and internet…plus I have plans to measure, and to paint at least one wall — I’m gonna have an accent wall!  It’ll be groovy!

I’ve been itching to art.  Unfortunately, during the week, that means an hour at lunch time — and even less on days like yesterday when I was fruitlessly trying to contact the Humane Society to learn what I need to do to get my stray half cat neutered and vaccinated so he can move with me.  After yesterday’s thirty minutes on hold, however, today I will endevor to finish up the little pinup I am playing with and just go into town on Friday to find out what I need to.

I was planning on going into town on Friday anyway, as my friend Jim has insisted that I attend an art opening thingy.  He has this idea that now that I’m single I need to go do stuff.  Or maybe it’s now that I’m no longer in school, and the singleness just coincides.  Either way, I’m getting dragged to a fancy(?) event where there will be cool(?) people, and…I have no idea what to wear.  Damnit, Jim!  I’m a geek, not a socialite!  (You see what I did there?  Yeah.)

On Saturday, I will do another social-ish thing, but much more of the geeky variety, in giving in and attending the Pittsburgh Ren Faire again.  Though it lacks historical accuracy and that will drive me nuts, it is a Faire, and though there is another Faire in PA that is supposedly pretty decent…it is about 5 hours away, and my friends have deemed that a little too far of a drive.  Even after I explained that I used to travel 8 hours to work Faire every weekend in high school.  I don’t know what to wear to Faire, either.  I DID try on my old garb, and it still totally fits and looks totally sweet…however, I feel silly attending a faire I’m not working in garb.  I kind of wanted to wear something bust-tastic, but I think I will settle on the excellent halter top I picked up recently.  Either way, there will likely be men in kilts, which is really what I care about.

Until next time, muchachos…work awaits.

Eww.

Something gross:  Over the past year or so I discovered that I seem to have a post nasal drip.  This basically means that mucus builds up in my sinuses and then drips into the back of my throat.  This simultaneously makes it hard to breathe through my nose and makes my throat all scratchy….both incredibly annoying.  One of the benefits of stopping smoking I had really been looking forward to was the reduction of scratchy throats, but in that case, my nasal slime seems much more to blame than my cigarettes were.

I got some Halls cough drops to try to help the situation, but as the scratchiness doesn’t originate from an irritated throat, the lozenges don’t do much more than make my breath all mentholly.  Also, it’s a little gross knowing that the goo in my throat is nose goo.

I wonder if a neti pot would help?
