lobsters!

This is the weirdest, grossest funniest thing I've read in a while.

Man, lobsters freak me out.

"they've said some completely ridiculous and untrue things about lobsters, like that they mate for life and they walk hand in hand along the bottom of the ocean and that they raise their young. All of that is completely absurd and gives the impression that lobsters are kind and nurturing to each other. Lobsters despise each other. They socialize a lot but in a hateful way."

I'm awake, and I feel okay. I'm not going to go to work today, because I have an audition at three and I got up late. Saturdays are very catch as catch can anyway and I don't think anyone will really notice my absence anyway.

I'll be in Monday, I'll take Tuesday as a vacation day (I'm trying to schedule an audition for that morning I've a riding lesson in the afternoon) and then life will just return to normal.

Meanwhile, my passport is burning a hole in a my pocket I feel like I have to go on a trip somewhere or at least get carded at a club like, right now. It's all very silly. _Maybe_ I'll go out tonight. What I really should be doing is working on my little essay for NIDA (oh my god, can you hear all the comical fake drafts?) And I should call my parents at some point and tell them about Germany. And catch up on my Netflix viewing.

There was a part of me that had thought about getting the fabric to start my Regency dress today, but at the moment I'm feeling a bit too blah for that level of concentration, so we'll see.

My audition is at Atlantic. This is making me marginally tense, which is also stupid. At least I know where I am going.

Maybe Skycaptain and the World of Tomorrow tonight. Also, trying to cajole Kat into cajoling others into Regency card games (mainly because I'm damn well playing cards at the Assembly, and I damn well don't play cards without playing to win, and as such I must practice. Also, it will be funny.).

I don't even know how to react to this article on I [heart] Huckabees. I'm always fascinated by the processes for different films, but oh my god, that's like the stuff of all my anxiety dreams.

Well, the Regency dress color scheme is entirely different than what I had initially intended, but I saw fabric that was just so right, I couldn't help myself.

The bodice will be out of a butter-colored brocade that has a slightly lighter crosshatched pattern in it, which is periodically interuppted with something similar to a fleur de lis. This fabric will also be used for the short sleeves, and a split overskirt. The under skirt will be of a bright, white floral brocade. With any luck, it will all be, perhaps unlike myself, fucking charming.

Read it. Follow the links. Notice I was stupid and got into it with the sort of person that makes my blood boil. Really, really really REALLY must work on leaving well enough alone.
