what's app Aug 31
Aug. 31st, 2017 12:08 pmbusy week. Saturday was my birthday! Shain baked me a cake and bought me Alison Bechdel's new book and we rode bikes up to Tilt and played video games and drank beer. From our place to the Annex is some good solid in-town bike riding. Took a bunch of LPs and sold them on Saturday, took some books to the BMV on Sunday and sold THOSE, that generated enough cash for that weekend's spending. If I did this every weekend, look out! Not that that's likely to happen. Sunday we went out to Rouge River and did some walking, marvelling at the giant trees that have fallen into the ravine, and me staring at the crayfish clambering over the rocks in the river. Video games, crayfish; I'm 12.
Yesterday was Shain's birthday and I got her AnimEigo's Blu-Ray of 1982 GRAFFITI OF OTAKU GENERATION and we went to the Ex and got fried carnival food and looked at the butter sculptures. Now I'm really tired because all that sugar late at night means it's tough to get to sleep.
This weekend is Labor Day weekend, and for me that means getting Anime Hell together for the upcoming AWA. Not going to Fan Expo, not going to Dragoncon, not going to any nerd thing at all, it's gonna be editing video and riding my bike and generally doing what I wanna do.
I think the last big "summer movie" we saw was the Wonder Woman at the drive-in. Didn't see the Spider-man, didn't see Valerian bomb, didn't see Dunkirk, we spent most of our disposable income on the vacation and bike repairs and, you know, adult grown up shit. I hate to see summer end, but at the same time I will love to see summer end and the giant massive crowds and traffic go away for a little while; the Ex means roads are closed and traffic is snarled in our neighborhood above and beyond the typical summer construction season closures, and the commute is starting to get tedious. Once the kids are back in school it should quiet down a little.
