this is a little late because i slept in, then i had to deal with trying to figure out how i hurt my knee (i still don't know), then i kinda forgot it was Sunday at all and that i should be posting. oops?

but yeah, last night was the FOB concert that i went to with Jenni. it was awesome, even though it kept us out pretty late. when i got home my throat was dry and scratchy and i figured i'd have no voice today (correct assumption), but i felt otherwise fine. when i finally woke up today though, i felt like someone had taken a hammer to my right knee in my sleep. i hobbled through my morning routine and various tasks, but it's been awkward and a little swollen all day. i seriously have no idea what could have happened to it.

died last night in my dreams, walkin the streets

this weekend was fun. Kyu and i spent yesterday with mom. he got to practice driving, we hit the art museum and ran a few other errands too, including stuff to keep going on mom's place, and hair dye for me. that process should be happening tonight and tomorrow, i'm looking forward to having bright hair again. i don't know why, i just feel more comfortable in bright green hair, even though logically it's more attention-grabbing than normal hair. we didn't see any green dye though, so i'm actually trying out teal this time. i figure the blue part will fade first evening out to green enough, i remember Rose's purple faded to blue, her blue faded to green, and her green stayed the same, but i guess i'll just have to wait and see if i'm right.

the next few days are gonna be spent making sure i've got everything i'll need at mom's while i'm there pulled together. at this point my list is mostly mental since there's no point packing things i'll need to use between now and Tuesday afternoon when mom picks me up.

i keep making mistakes, but it takes some time to get anything right

this weekend was a good one. Friday Jenni and i caught up on the blocks for quilt club, then i headed to mom's. we got less done than initially planned, but things are prepared for next weekend, so at least some things are inching toward completion.

in any event, i'm home again, and trying to fight off dizzy spells brought on by the spazzy camera in the game kyu's playing. some video games i can play for days, a few though the camera moves in a way that literally hurts me. it's just in my peripheral vision, but it's still enough to effect me.

i'm pretty sure that when i finish catching up on the various things i missed being gone all weekend i'll put on headphones and settle into my own gaming stuff to better ignore what he's doing. that should be fun. xD

may the bridges i have burned light my way back home

i had an awesome time at the parade yesterday with mom, Jenni and Kayla. in a move surprising absolutely nobody, Kyu chose not to go. he asked me to wake him up before i left, and i totally did, but when i got home again around noon he still hadn't gotten out of bed. i can't really judge though since the first thing i did after getting home was nap for 6 hours. in my defense, that was after more than 24 hours awake. my insomnia's been insane lately, i'm either zombie-tired, or completely unable to sleep, there's basically no middle ground and i can't predict which will happen.

at some point today i'm likely to crash again and sleep for an indeterminate length of time, but that doesn't feel like it'll be in the next few hours. right now i'm trying to figure out a way to play DQ8 without Kyu having to see it since it's one that he actively loathes. i try to be reasonably considerate of his preferences, but there's no way i can set my PS2 up without him seeing it, it's not like i have a tv in my room. i almost did, but it died before i managed to do anything with it.

i've been sublimating the DQ urge with pokemon challenges since those are all on handheld systems so he's not a witness, but DQ8 has been haunting my mind, and i really wanna take another go at it. i did play it to the post-game once, but any time since then i've stopped playing relatively early because it really does bother Kyu that much. at this point though i kinda don't care, he's been binge-watching Good Eats reruns and youtube compilations of pro-wrestling matches from the 90s, some from the late 80s in Japan even, so if i can deal with that all week, he can deal with a few hours of me playing DQ.. later.
