like a nosebleed, your head hurts and you can't breathe

I guess the apartment faces south-southeast. We can't ever see the full-on sunset but in winter we get some amazing sunrises.

On clearish days this means that until about eight in the morning the sky is gorgeously dappled-magenta. Then at around eight the sun crests the Surrey hills and I have to close the blinds or, well, get blinded.

I haven't been writing much here because, I don't know. Because it feels like my days are slow and lazy and not good fodder for documenting.

After feeling entirely useless and ineffective on Friday I hosted a houseful of people on Saturday and a smaller gathering on Sunday. Monday was exhaustingly full of maintenance and chores. I think I'm getting back to feeling like myself again.

I have unformed thoughts on Transistor (the next game by the makers of Bastion, which attempts the same in-medias-res start as Bastion but doesn't quite make it work, at least not for me) and on ... mm. On using LJ as a write-only medium, I guess, which has rubbed me wrong for most of a decade now but in general isn't worth the effort of going on about.

I take care of the house and the cats, I exercise, I practise the viola and occasionally write/edit. I play boardgames and read and poke at the internet or the iPad. Sometimes I'm sociable. It's a good life but it's not going much of anywhere. Not that I've worked out where "anywhere" might be.

Even if you don't think your days are interesting enough to write about, it is indeed good to see you. :)

Me, I'm wishing 4th Street would happen, like, this weekend.

Aw, thanks, and likewise. :)

Man, Fourth Street. I should think seriously about that, since I don't think I have any other congoing happening this summer.

That would be awesome. I think Janice is still thinking about going, too, and I'd love to see you and Emily again.

Sometimes, after stressful work situations and moving and such, it takes the slower, quieter time to actually determine the right direction to go.

Yeah. *deep breath* baby steps, etc.

(Looking forward to seeing you in Feb!)
