What Stef is up to

[firecat]

Here's some stuff I've been doing over the last little while:

Watched Her Majesty, Mrs. Brown. Judi Dench rules.

Went to San Mateo County Fair. I have never been to a County Fair before. Pretty much as I expected, and yet not... Fucking AMAZING quilts.

Saw Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Great music. I didn't know punk was still alive...and now married to glam/genderf*ck.

Signed up for a lampworking class at Public Glass and spent several hours thoroughly mining the Sundance web site.

Went to a Big Moves drumming and dancing retreat in Santa Rosa. It was ~100 mile drive and I was feeling really whiny about it but I dragged myself and I am really glad I went. The group of women was really fun, and Joyce and I drummed well, and the dancing was hot!.

Spending an hour a day with Silver, the scaredy cat I am fostering. Don't you want to adopt her?

Read Lord of Light by Zelazny because Neil Gaiman recommended it. It's good, but not nearly on Gaiman's caliber, so it's interesting that it's one of his favorites. I read a lot of it out loud, which I started because I wanted Silver to get used to my voice, and then I felt like doing most of it that way. I am not very good at reading out loud.

Trying a lot of things right now that I'm not very good at.

Felt alternately depressed and excited about turning 40.

Yank. Yank. The puppet
Jerks this way and that
Invisible puppeteer

Finally updated the Adoptable Cat site.

I hope you find your creative "true north". You are kind of stuck with lots of social engagements which it is probably too late to prune unless you really want to be ruthless (I'm sorry, I can't date you anymore....downsizing)

Still, I know you want to /create/. I would kind of like to see you take on something a little more rigorous, creatively. I think it would be more satisfying in the long run.
