Summer Daze
I have discovered an entirely new way to abuse Photoshop and waste my time: Sims skins. Well, at least it's creative.
Bank Holiday weekend. Everybody's suggesting things like barbeques or the cinema. I can't do the cinema without triggering a migraine. Given that the new Harry Potter film's coming out -- the one I said was the Potterfilms' last chance with me -- this pretty much sucks. I might go see it anyway; I get migraines no matter what I do so why should I have to miss out on things I enjoy just because it'll make my head hurt? Well, missing out on cinema excursions isn't actually that bad most of the time. My expectations were at an all-time low with regards to Van Helsing and I really don't want to see Troy. If I wanted to see Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom prance around in skirts, I'd send them both tickets to the nearest Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight screening. Mmm. Orlando Bloom in a corset and fishnets. Anyway, I think I'll just actually read the Illiad. Less expenditure, less cringeworthy and I won't have to sit there and wait for the credits to find out who Brad Pitt's leg double was.
As for barbeques, this is England. You can't trust the weather as far as you can throw it. And yet people still insist that, despite the changeable climate and the tendency to rain all over everybody, it's a great idea to cook food in the great outdoors. And forgive me, but I'm having trouble with the concept of a vegetarian barbeque. I suppose this is just the stereotype -- big slabs o' meat cooking over coals -- and I know you can have veg-kabobs but it still seems to kind of suck for the vegetarians among us (of which there are at least three).
And the Gathering's impending. Still don't know what I want to go as. Not entirely sure I want to go at all. Sure, the concept of a three-day LARP sounds ace, but I just know I'm going to get this out-of-place feeling that only comes from walking into a mass of people you don't know. Ah, well, it'll do me good to go out and ... meet people oh God I'm going to have to spend a weekend being social.
Summer was not this busy or panic-worthy last year. Last year it was just me, a book and the tail-end of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Now I'm so busy I don't even know who's winning or how far along they are. Gah.
