and believe me i am still alive
Apr. 11th, 2020 10:57 pmthis was a very busy week.
Tuesday was the first class of my certificate course. i'm enjoying it and the other students so far - the level of interest and commitment is much more my speed.
so many meetings at work, lots of balls in the air and things changing. mostly good, i think. it looks like our product launch is going to happen from home. i've suggested that we should all get branded pajama pants.
my student status gets me access to the pro version of zoom, and it's turned out to be the best solution for the knitting group on Thursdays. this week i ironed and cut fabric. previous weeks i've been spinning but i expect to be knitting more soon...at work we've been talking on and off about doing quarantine shopping. mine was buying yarn to knit a blanket.
Friday night RPG is on Discord, and that's working well except that C can't seem to get a headset mic to work with his computer to save his life. it's maddening to have to sit in another room. (we've tried multiple headsets, both wired and bluetooth. even running from his phone. i don't know, shit just breaks when he touches it.)
i've finally got the mask measurements dialed in so that i can work assembly line style instead of doing one at a time and fitting. tomorrow i should be able to crank them out.
we got takeout brunch from Hattie's this morning. what a simple pleasure.
i should have been in the bath by now, but Clone Wars is on the tv a lot in our house right now - Voyage of Temptation is on and i have to watch the whole thing every time. i ship Obitine as hard as Anakin does.

Date: 2020-04-12 07:30 pm (UTC)i highly recommend Clone Wars as absorbing comfort tv. lots of episodes, bite-size length but with story arcs. it has a great companion in Rebels, which is set a few years before Star Wars.
while there is a "final season" airing now on Disney+, it will be done soon, so you could consider both Clone Wars and Rebels as series that have ended. it took me a while to warm up to Clone Wars but once you get past the awkward theatrical release it is pretty great. really redeems the idea of the prequels by giving the characters time to breathe. Rebels hits its stride even faster and benefits from mostly original characters.
