I found the C41 color film in my backpack, and there was an eyeliner pencil in the make-up kit that I had from special effects class! All is not lost.
I was actually thinking of going outside and being active and stuff today, and not just spending my day off in bed watching movies like I usually do… but as soon as I got ready to go down to the lake, a very ornery looking grey beast of a cloud settled in above my building, and I think I may have seen some lightening. Ah well, at least I got the laundry done.
I went to my first Renaissance Festival on Sunday with Maren and Sara (the awesome neighbors from across the way). Initially, I had a difficult time deciding what I should wear, but then I figured that my Guitar Hero T-shirt would be ironically appropriate. As luck would have it, we got rained out, but before it started to pour we had fun wandering around. We also ate giant turkey legs that were so smoked, they tasted like ham!
Vegetarians beware!
I think that a Ren Fair is probably the most post-modern, surreal event that one can volunteer to participate in.
I watched a bird die while I was waiting for the bus to work the other day. It was very bizarre, in that I’m not used to landing in situations that I can have no impact on. Even if I had stepped out into the street to scoop it up, I would have been able to do nothing to save its life. It flew into the side of a car and, I presume, broke its neck. I wanted so badly to ignore it, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t help but stare as the tiny bird flailed its wings and tried to regain lift. What does this say about me as a person?
Downloaded the Zune software update and I love it! Some very smart changes made to the device itself, including marketplace access and games. Now to start the hunt for even more games, though if I don’t find any yet, it’s no major loss. Texas Hold ‘Em makes me happy.
Starbucks messed up my last paycheck, but luckily for me I’ve had a very smooth manager transition. Both the old manager and the new have been very nice and understanding of the situation, which is awesome. Cause a girl’s gotta eat. And pay bills.
Last day off for two full weeks. Maren and Sara are taking us to a drag show in St Paul tonight. Should be an awesome time.
Sounds pretty excellent so far! Except the note about the bird is pretty distressing; I don’t know of anyone who would know how to jump up and save a bird’s life (save for a vet…). :’(
I also went to the Renn Fest — but in Maryland — to avenge last year’s humiliation at the hands of Thor’s Hammer:

Did yours have the same embarrassing feats of strength?
