My goal for today...take a new profile picture because mine is hella old. Well that's my goal anyway, if my camera/hair/makeup work with me then it may be possible.

I'm so glad I have two days off work. I'm currently in the phone center tec support business. The lack of intelligence I hear on a daily basis really makes me lose faith in humanity more and more.

I did get a day off to attend the roller derby clinic I had mention in my last entry. They basically teach you how to skate. I know the basics of skating obviously, but I have no idea how to stop properly or fall. I suppose I will learn this. This will be the first sport I've attempted in my life. Well except for taking dance lessons. I've never been on a team per say though so I'm excited to see how that is. I may have a friend to go with me too so that's always fun

I'm currently listening to this song because I happened to click the link on YouTube's main page...



It's so catchy and colorful. I keep clicking more links. I have no idea what they're saying or how many members this group even has, but my senses like it.

In other music news the gods that are Zeppelin were given the Kennedy Center Honors this year. I missed the special, but thank goodness things like Youtube exist. I love that Jack Black got to introduce them. Fucking fantastic. There were some awesome tributes done, especially Heart covering Stairway to Heaven. Loved it. I think I need to do a Zep-a-thon.



I also slightly hate Obama for getting to be in the same room as the Zep, but I digress.

I did some rearranging in my apartment. The clutter was driving me crazy. As I went through things I remembered how much art I have that is just tucked away. I really need to get frames for some of this stuff. I hate just putting it back in a portfolio.



I also found this drawing that was done for me by an artist friend. He had done a piece on wood for me before for a contest I won. I honestly didn't realize I had this. He sent me the sketches that went with the finished piece too. I really need to keep this out.



I also finally have my typewriters out for display again. The Underwood is just really heavy and it's hard to find a spot for it. I have no idea how people actually used them back in the day haha. The other one is a German typewriter that belonged to my grandfathers sister. The case has her name on it still and it has German letter keys. I love it. I love any antiques really. I shall have a fantastic collection someday. So far it consists of the typewriters, a dry sink from my grandparents, a singer sewing machine that belonged to my great grandmother, and a bunch of smaller things. I suppose maybe those butterflies count too. They were given to me by my grandparents neighbors. They travel the world collecting and mounting them. The one is butterfly is from 1964. I'm so glad I finally got it hung up. The lovely lady is also my grandmother



Alright I suppose I've posted enough for now. Gotta finish putting this art away and get all prettied up for the day. Finally get to see my love tonight after a few days. Pretty excited about that Ok I'm off, much love.
