I am a giant slacker.
Skipped class last night 'cause I just didn't feel up to being put through the wringer by Una. Instead I curled up on the couch and worked on my Legolas costume which might, just might, be done in time for Halloween. Not sure where I'm going to wear it or anything, but I'll have it and that's the important thing.
We couldn't resist showing A- "Versus" last night. For those who haven't seen it I won't even try to describe it except to say that I think the writer and/or director intends to be the Sam Raimi of Japan. I think she enjoyed it and said she'd keep an eye out for the soundtrack for us, which is cool.
Been a bit anti-social lately, and definitely down in the dumps. I blame the weather at least in part, hormones too. Some old demons have crawled up out of the darker recesses of my psyche and seem to have set up camp. Not sure exactly what to do about that, but I did read about this concept that's supposed to help. Whenever you start to get dragged down by unwanted memories/emotions, you're supposed to focus all of your conscious thought on your senses and surroundings. You're supposed to really think about what you're smelling, feeling, hearing, seeing, etc. To be aware of where you are and to be in the "now".
Overall it seems to be somewhat effective at countering the worst of the nonsense that pops up, though I'm looking forward to a time when I can do it automatically. Now it's not habit but I hope it will become one.
Contemplating weekend plans at this point, I need at least one of the two days for serious house cleaning. It's a post-houseguest/pre-housewarming tradition and one I highly approve of. Everything will get a thorough going over. And speaking of the party, if I bought pumpkins would anyone be interested in carving them?
