random happinesses this weekend:
--dim sum breakfast.
i wasn't even aware that there were any dim sum places in the cities. i kind of just wrote it off as a big city thing and figured once i left california i was leaving that behind. i usually know better than to underestimate minneapolis, but i have to admit that if it's one thing L.A. stomps all over minnesota with it's food.
but lo! thank god val called dim sum breakfast for her birfday! what a nice surprise! and so much fun! kathy and i turned up early and drank most of the tea. once val showed up we ordered almost everything off the cart and got down to business completely stuffing ourselves. by the time everyone else showed up, we were done.
man, i would kill for more shrimp balls right now. and a coconut bun.
--late night partyings.
val had a whole table of booze! a whole table! bottles and bottles of booze! and i brought a coke.
the whole party was obsessed with boobongos, which i'm still really trying to wrap my head around. and kathy read tarot for everyone because she's a trouper. she's very good. she says i'm blocking myself artistically, that my friends see me as "the broken-hearted one" even though another card says i'm finally done with all of that. and yet another one says that i'm waiting for a huge victory when that victory will never come and i should be accepting of the small, imperfect ones. and i get that. boy, do i get that.
--silly callbacks.
they were something, and that's all i'm saying. i should stick to projects and companies that i'm really excited about. end.
--all-day breakfast food.
from now on, sundays = this.
--rearranging my apartment.
my mom told me to try it for a week, and i thought, it's going to be so much work. and it was. it took me a good 4 hours, but i managed to move my tv into the bedroom so i can play video games and watch movies in bed. and i moved my bookcases into the living room, put up some more lights, moved the ones i had around, put rico in a better spot, reconfigured some of my wall decor, and set up a work table.
basically, i have a lot of small pieces and not one large, unifying piece of furniture for my living room. the focus was all off, with my tv in one corner and my computer in another. and i've been wanting something to watch movies on in my bedroom. but then, my living room would no longer feel like a living room.
and why should it? it's not like anyone ever comes over. i don't have room in my kitchen or a proper table to be hosting any meals. i don't really have enough comfortable chairs for a party. i don't just sit and absorb entertainment without working on something. so...why not turn the living room into a studio space? basically, i have my computer, my books, all my crafting things in one place, a wide open space for yoga or working monologues (or inflatable bed for guests), and appropriately placed brignter light for working on needlecrafts while i watch tv on my computer. brilliant. love it. finally, the apartment feels like me.
