Overdue update of WOH
Oct. 22nd, 2008 08:27 pmWork-related:
1) In the 7 Circles of Archaeological Hell, the seventh circle consists of having to lay line of shovel tests through Staten Island catbriar four feet taller than you. Imagine thorns so sharp and long they scratch you through your jeans and long johns, AND at one point go through your BOOT. Allow me to repeat: A THORN WENT THROUGH MY BOOT.
You have NO idea what my legs look like right now. It's pretty horrific, and they sting like a mo'fo' when I take a shower.
Though, it is a relief to no longer be digging along the Belt Parkway. I like the silence of working in the woods under the Outerbridge Crossing. If it just wasn't for those DAMNABLE CATBRIARS!!!!
Because I need my dose of blasphemy this evening, holy Christ, my everlasting sympathies.
Real Life-related:
1) I'm going to be Oscar Wilde for Halloween!...well, I will, once I modify a coat of mine, and make myself a fabulously foppish purple vest and green cravat. And then on November 1st at a little shindig![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
muneybags6 is hosting (themed "Saints and Demons: come as your best or worst!") I plan on going as Saint Lucy, with my eyes on a platter. I want to practice staring ahead with dark glasses on while I move my "eyes" to look at the people I'm talking too. I think it would be awesomely creepifying if I did it right.
2) I'm sitting on my grad school application for the March 31 deadline. Just didn't want to go to grad school this spring (assuming I would have gotten in in the first place).
3) My brother and I saw "Fuerza Bruta" on Saturday and it was AMAZING. It was like being in someone else's waking dream; one part nightmare, one part rave, one part "WTF that was AWESOME!". If you want to feel what's it's like to step into Wonderland, GO SEE THIS SHOW. You walk out of it and the rest of the humdrum world feels so much more magical. Just don't expect it to make any sense--just take it in and go for the ride. I mean, women swim in a clear pool as it's lowered within arm's reach of you. It's insane, but a good sort.
Internet-related:
1) Everyone. Go to thatguywiththeglasses.com. Watch the videos of my friendtheborderpatrol a.k.a. the Nostalgia Chick. Proceed to laugh yourself silly. The Anastasia review is a particular favorite of mine (though I LOVE the one for Pocahontas. Oh...Pocahontas)
2)I...have so many things for the internet to finish writing/to think about writing. The deadline for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
thingsunwritten is nigh, and I need to finish my story about two gladiators. I have a slew of tables and prompts to start, much less finish (thousandtables and ink_twist being the big two)--
And NaNoWriMo Cometh.
I've an idea, but I've never down well with NaNo on even numbered years. I think I have a good idea for it this year, but...*sigh*
Other than that, my life is unexciting.
