thursday reportzzz
Apr. 28th, 2016 08:38 pmWhat HAVE I been up to? Went out to the local comic book show last Sunday and bought some comic books. The show was in what appears to be the local version of the Castlegate - an overused hotel not well kept up, full of locals using it for Herbalife meetings and cheap weddings and whatevers. Got to see guys hollering at each other over the luggage carts (comic book dealers, spend $20 on a hand truck from Home Depot already). None of the people we bought comics from had merchandise/shopping bags of any kind, not even used grocery or Wal Mart bags. Come on guys. Anyway we found some good stuff for cheap. Later we went walking in a park up on the Humber River and we saw this snake.
That's, like, the second snake I've seen my whole time up here. I mean, I know we live in the city and everything, but we try to get out into some nature when we can, and I still don't see that many snakes.
Saturday we did a little hinterland antique malling that resulted in Not Much. Some of the smaller stores in the smaller towns are starting to close, Pfefferlaw's store (the one in the old elementary school) closed, and the one in Lindsay closed as well.
Friday was Passover so I put on my tie and we were good and early to Shain's aunt's place, where a goose is nesting in the back yard and will give you the stinkeye if you so much as walk out the back door. There's a new baby in the family so things started earlier than usual and wrapped up earlier than usual. Here's my tie:
Most of my free time has been getting the new PC going, transferring files from the old PC, installing what programs I need to do what I need to do, etc. Anime North is in 30 days so that's going to take up pretty much all my time, getting ready for that thing. Most of my time is going to be taken up re-editing the opening and the America vs Japan segment, everything else is pretty much good to go. I was going to try to do it all via laptop and Zoom Media Player but I don't have time to get thru the learning curve. Ditto Adobe Premiere; I need a good chunk of time to just play around with it and learn stuff and that's what I don't have.
Work's been busy, we hired a bunch of new folks and have a new client and have been ticking right along since the beginning of the month. The endgame is that sometime in the summer I should be working a daytime shift instead of an afternoon shift and that's where I want to be! In the sunlight for a bit!

forgot to mention
Apr. 28th, 2016 10:57 pmOh yeah. Went out on Monday and got the wart on my foot frozen off at the dermatologists, where I learned about "marionette lines" via the incessant cosmetic surgery ads everywhere, and waited a freakin' hour past my appointment time because I don't even. I have some stuff to put on it and I go back in June for another look, but it seems to be on the wane, finally. The doctor actually did mention putting duct tape on it, go fig. Tuesday before work was getting the prescription for the wart stuff (salicylic acid, basically same stuff as Compound W, but mixed with vaseline so it's easier to apply), Wednesday before work was picking up the stuff, Wednesday night was actually applying it. Thursday before work is my Stupid Comics time. Friday before work is Let's Anime time, I guess.
Trying to get a Let's Anime done before the end of April, so that's Saturday when we aren't junkin' or TV watchin'. On Sunday I get to talk about Galaxy Express 999 for Dawn's "Anime Nostalgia" podcast via Skype, which means I gotta get Skype going on that new PC (shouldn't be a problem as Neil put Skype on it and Skype REALLY wants to run, all the time). Anyway, looking forward to it.
