(no subject)

My kneecap blew out again, just like it did in Ann Arbor. A nice Ace Bandage seemed to help. I will go out later for one of those strap-on jobs, because I am not good at the whole wrapping thing. I dropped out of Bluebirds in grade school. Meanwhile, owie, ow, ow, ow.

Played with Harry Potter toys, and briefly mourned my lack of a Sorting Hat stuffy. Then remembered I own a nice quarter-yard of soft black courduroy and a needle. The difficult bit seems to be attaching the hat to the brim thing so's it'll stand up. Feh, I say.

Drawing shit. I don't know why.

Spencer Gifts had those Goth fashion dolls marked down to four bucks last week, so I grabbed one. I like her very much apart from those stupid Gawth contact lenses, so Saturday I gave her a set of more realistic blue peepers and tweaked her make-up. Much prettier, and less stupidly trendoid.

Summertime blues continue. Ah well.

Nazi update

Demonstration consisted of 40 Nazis and supporters and 150 cops. Counter-demo and diversity picnic at Pioneers Park attracted approximately 1,500 people, who likely had a much better time.

So, to review. For a successful demonstration:
1. Snacks
2. Location
3. Don't be a goddamn fucking Nazi asshole

Gollum update

Mom has given up on the Gollum action figure and retired him to the handle of the plush teacup I made her from the Aranzi-Aranzo pattern book.

Unfortunately, she has replaced him with a rubber cockroach she found in a drawer. She likes to affix it near light switches.

I hate her a lot right now.
