Things That Happened Today

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Had a good time today. gondolinchick01 and I went to the ceramics painting studio, since I have recently acquired some loose leaf tea and need a teapot. (And I want more! Hey, xaandria, what’s that tea place you were into a while back?) So I painted a wonderfully silly one, and gondolinchick01 did a cool little Useful Pot To Put Things In. (And she didn’t get self-conscious like most of my friends seem to when they first try to paint ceramics, before they realize that you just make it up as you go along.)

The only problem with those places is that you gotta wait for your fabulous art to bake. I will see my silly teapot on Monday!

I also got to chat with both Liz and Lychee tonight! We traded news and videos and Lychee even let me carry on about My Thoughts On The Joker for a while and sent me a cool article on him. (She also sent me toward pointless adorable cat manga, which I can totally get behind.) And I showed both of them the now-infamous Saturday Morning Watchmen,* which led to the following exchange:

LIZ: I don’t think I could make it through a full episode of this.
AMELIA: … You watched the entire X-Men Animated Series in three days.

So not a bad day, except now I’m having the nightly panic attack. Fortunately, bits of Mike and Joel and the bots have made it back to the internet. They’re as good illusory company as David Attenborough,** so I can feel like I have friends while I fret. Fortunately, tomorrow’s my Last Day at the preschool, because I don’t need to take bullshit even from toddlers while all this is going down. Maybe I could volunteer to, I don’t know, spread mulch or something. As long as there are no other people around, all will be well.

And yes, there will be pictures of the silly teapot. Since I love you guys that much.


*My brother loved this. Regardless of how into Watchmen you are, if you grew up on Saturday morning cartoons, you will double over laughing. KEYTAR.

**Not good illusory company for a panic attack: Detective Elliot Stabler. Also the Tenth Doctor, who is cuddly but not exactly soothing.

From the WatchmeX wiki*:

Every episode, as was typical in the 80's, would end with a brief 'Watchmoral' related to the preceding episode, in an attempt to appeal to parental oversight groups. The dissonance between the characterizations of the original graphic novel and the animated series is considerable, and is nowhere more apparent than in The Comedian appearing with a lesson on 'Good and Bad Touches'.

Look, I keep saying. It needs to be a regular webseries. Or there is no good left in the world.

I'm really, really afraid to find out what sort of Watchmorals Rorschach would deliver.

("No, he is not friends to those animals. In fact, he interacts with them primarily using a meat cleaver.")

Ah, ceramics, I miss that. I wonder if there's any place in Stockholm where I can just wander in and start messing about... I need another money jar, the one I've got is getting pretty full, and I made it so that I have to break it in order to get anything out of it. Monies, I has them. :3

That would be Adagio.com Let me know when you want to get some and I'll throw a $5 certificate your way. I'd do it now but it expires in 24 hours unless I email it.

Huzzah! I'll cruise around a bit, first--I've spent rather a lot of money recently, but as soon as I get a job ...

Thanks!
