Back on the radar.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

So, after I was done officiating the funeral, came up to me, shook my hand, and told me that he’d never been as proud of me as he was at that moment. I told him that he had no idea how much that meant to me, but I may have been wrong.

So, what now? How do I go back to the day to day after a week like this? I told that I felt that we were so much more a real family after this week, and I still feel that.

I have more catching up to do than I have all semester, but somehow I don’t feel daunted by it. I don’t feel overwhelmed. I feel like there’s a reason to be doing what I’m doing.

What a god damn week.

Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In ancient Greek myth, Prometheus stole the gods’ fire and bequeathed it to human beings, allowing them to cook, stay warm when the weather was cold, and make tools and bricks and pottery. According to my reading of the astrological omens, a Prometheus-like influence is now hovering at the peripheries of your world, angling to provide you with a boon that’s pretty damn good, even if it isn’t as monumental as fire. There’s a catch, however. This benefactor will not be able to bestow the gift unless you aggressively ask for it and unless you are alert for its arrival from an unexpected direction.

Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The *Fortean Times* reported on the odd case of Dixie, a British donkey that brays backwards. Instead of the usual hee-haw, she expresses herself with the sound of haw-hee. I nominate her to be an inspirational role model for your own inner donkey in the coming week, Taurus. Encourage that tireless, steady, hard-working part of you to be playfully deviant, fond of reversals, and on the lookout for upside-down and inside-out forms of expression–while still remaining devoted to completing the demanding tasks at hand.

I’m actually wading through OtherKin sites.

Good things:

  • The updated comic web page is up. It’s currently just a splash page with some info, but that page will eventually be the “About us” page.
  • is coming over tomorrow to do some quick shooting at our house. I miss him.
  • Later I’ll be heading out to Southfield (I think) to do some serious Anime watching with and company.
  • is at a party at which she’s likely having a very good time.

Bad things:

  • I have a persistent feeling of boredom. I have plenty of things I want to do, need to do, etc. However, I don’t wanna do any of them. See that petulance? That signals the onset of a low emotional swing. I need to get out and do something. But I don’t wanna. Wash, rinse, repeat.
  • I’m craving a fantastical existence again. I’m drawn toward immersing myself completely in fantasy worlds of fiction, or any other sort, really. This is escapism, and also signals a low swing.
  • I am having strong spiritual urges, in tandem with these negative feelings.
  • is not here.

I think I’ll go put away my freshly clean laundry.
