Saturday, 20 October 2012 (attacks of the sublime and the beautiful) 4:47pm In the Rainforest in the California Academy of Sciences. I love it so much, but I do hope to visit the real thing sometime. (Though not with the horrible people at the save-the-rainforest nonprofit I worked at for too long, of course. 6:46pm Having as good-as-can-be-expected Huevos Rancheros with Marta at St. Francis Fountain, which I haven't been to in many moons. From here, it's to a pumpkin-carving party thrown by one of Marta's classmates. | ||

Friday, 19 October 2012 (still aching and giddy) 10:31am I got a 97.33% on my Cataloging midterm and the class average was 96%, which means I win and it's Pata Pata dance party time! 5:16pm Heading to Marta's. Normally we'd be together by now, but she had other plans for today. I do not, which is nobody's fault by my own. | ||

Thursday, 18 October 2012 (some crime lying on my conscience) 3:09pm It's finally on their websites, so it's now official that a couple other Bad Movie Night people and I will riff on Piranha 3D at the Aquarium of the Bay on Halloween. Crazy. Also, I got a 97.33% on my Cataloging midterm. Would have preferred 100%, but this'll do. 6:43pm It was an unseasonably warm day (inasmuch as there's any logic to seasonal weather in October), and Marta wasn't working, so I rode to her place and then we rode back to mine together. It was nice, and it was my first time really biking in traffic, which I'm going to have to get used to sooner or later. I'm now at KrOB's, where we're discovering that there's a character in the 1954 Martin & Lewis film Living It Up called Oliver Stone and people keep saying his name, and it's awesome. | ||

Wednesday, 17 October 2012 (damnable romanticism of pure hearts) 11:26pm I review I wrote for LA Weekly of a very bad anime film is now up, and also, a book I'm in is now available. 3:44pm Marta and I have been having a lot of sherilyn needs to do things with people who are not marta and sherilyn needs to do make plans with other people who are not marta even when said plans take place on days and nights that she would otherwise be with marta And both of those imperatives come from Marta, who got really upset when I told her that there are things I occasionally don't do on Tuesday, Friday or Saturday nights because I'm with her. She all but made me promise that going forward and I would feel free to pre-empt our scheduled nights together. So. | ||

Tuesday, 16 October 2012 (the usual startling maneuvers) 6:31pm Whatever pride I felt at finding one of my essays quoted in somebody's dissertation—I'm a primary source!, go me!—was balanced out by the student slapping a [sic] on a punctuation choice they disagreed with. Academia is harsh. And, from the instructions for the paper I'm writing: "In an historiographical essay, there is room for you to present your own argument. Do not be afraid of inserting your own voice throughout the paper." Oh, you asked for it... | ||

Monday, 15 October 2012 (roughly fluffed) 9:33am A silly thing I wrote about Hello Kitty running for President is up on the weekly. sometime after midnight Back on schedule watching Justified with the Goldies, thank goodness. | ||

Sunday, 14 October 2012 (recurring on that interminable list) 4:29pm Marta and I are at the California Academy of Sciences, because there's no reason for us not to be. Plus, sandabs! 11:25pm Pretty good turnout at Bad Movie Night for the pretty awful Blade: Trinity. When I got home I discovered I'd left the kitchen light on, so I apologized to my Perdita. You know, just in case the light being on inconvenienced her. | ||
| ||
Saturday, 13 October 2012 (by some external circumstance) 10:02am Working from home while Marta's at class. It's always a little trickier on Saturday morning, because the upstairs neighbors are home during the day. Sometimes I need to close my curtains because I don't want to be seen.. | ||
| ||
Friday, 12 October 2012 (to spare myself little sleep) 3:47pm At Marta's apartment, as I am on Fridays, all things being normal. This morning, I rode my bike all the way out to her place and back. I'm getting better. | ||
| ||
Thursday, 11 October 2012 (after the pathfinding) 10:47am Still catching up on schoolwork. So much schoolwork, plus some work-work. 9:09pm Went to KrOB's to watch a Jerry Lewis movie. As always, it puts things in perspective. | ||
