drink+ water. i've already hit my milk quota for the first half of the week. *sigh*
(if the tenses in this get squiffy it's because it was drafted from 10:30pm Monday through 7am Tuesday off and on)
okay so, we've returned from the shop (and dinner at mommy2's) and as may already be realized by his Facebook status (for those of you that are his friends) Kyu's decided to finish out his promised year with the shop. as a compromise of sorts, he'll be working less hours. from every day to Thursday-Friday-Saturday, with the realization that he's allowed to take days off for family events. he was never told otherwise, but his obsessive drive to not let anyone down had him working to exhaustion and burning out. the last few weeks having time off to breathe and think has really improved his disposition. at the end of this year we'll see how he feels about continuing to do it in general.
also i'm thinking about having Vance do a tattoo for me. he's offered before, but there's never been anything i really wanted (or a space i'd be willing to put it). now i'm thinking he could do either my music tattoo, or the Zelda one i think i want. or i may combine them into one design, probably for my arm. i'll talk to him this weekend in any case. xD as it is he's talking about me maybe trying to tattoo, or just design flash. i have no ambition for it really, but i'd be okay with selling a collection of the doodles i do for fun. xD as it is i think i'll focus on refining my Zelda/music ideas so i can show them to Vance this weekend to see if he's willing to try any of them out. xD
for some reason our apartment started smelling like burnt marshmallow today. no idea where the smell is coming from, but it's starting to be kinda annoying. X.x i kinda just wish the smell would go away. on the bright side, the smell is curbing my junk-food cravings pretty effectively. whoo. it's hard to want to eat anything at all actually when the whole apartment smells so strongly of burnt sugar. i'm really hoping that the smell goes away soon on its own since we can't figure out where the smell is coming from. the smell's less intense now than it was like 6 yesterday afternoon, so that's good. the only thing that's changed is that we unplugged the microwave. i somehow don't think that's it though.. xD
just so everyone knows, i found a ride for my birthday concert (probably)! Moose is gonna ask off early that day so she can take me and we're gonna have an AMAZING time, i am SO excited about this! though if anyone else wants to go we can still plan to do a group thing, that'd actually be pretty awesome, Kyu just won't be paying for tons of us to go. xD he'll for sure pay for me and Moose, but at one point he said if someone else also wants to he'd pay for three people, possibly four. it's something that can be worked out, if it needs to happen. xD
but yeah, unrelated- i've made it into the beginning of the fifth season of Ace of Cakes. xD it has remained awesome and amusing. i have it playing in the background while i work on other things.
my complete inability to read sheet music has put a substantial wrinkle in my idea to chart Zelda's Lullaby on bars as part of my nerdy/musical potential-tattoo undertaking. i want it depicted accurately enough for someone to be able to play my tattoo if they wanted to. it's relatively obscure on the surface, and subtle enough that it could just be viewed as a music appreciation thing. xD i suppose there's a chance that someone nerdier has already charted it and i'll find it online. it'd be simpler though if i had the capacity to do it myself.
there WAS sheet music of it online! the hard part was finding a simple piano version and not the super brain-explodey mega-complicated orchestral version used by the actual Nintendo orchestra. but yeah, mission accomplished, a piano version was found and successfully transcribed into my design. yay! xD i do think that due to the size required to keep the music notes from being all blobby and smooshed together the only place this design will really fit will be on my forearm. i mean there are plenty of other places it'd fit, but not many that would really look good with my body type, or that i'm willing to try for placement of it. xD i'll definitely be taking the draft i've done for it up to the shop later this week to see what Vance thinks though. if he's in the mood i may even see if he'll do it this Thursday or Friday, who knows? xD
