post-twosday + two weeks

 twosday came and went, and i'm honestly a little taken aback that it's thursday night already. this has been a week.

work-wise, it's been pretty cool - mostly kinda fun, actually. mr smear's been doing pretty well, although we're a bit concerned about his eyesight (he keeps creeping up to the tv, but it *is* significantly harder to read after the enormous projector screen we've gotten used to ), and i dropped him off at school the other day and got to witness his class bully antagonising him entirely unprovoked.

speaking of reading - he's reading really well!

we ran into my nephew and his girlfriend on the promenade the other day, mr smear really enjoyed playing with their dog (and their dog's friends) and catching up was pleasant.

it's my grandmother's yahrzeit day today, my mother and i went to the synagogue this evening. going to an orthodox shul gets weirder and weirder as time goes by.

i've put some hours into my side project, and i'm making a bit of progress. all things considered, i'm quite pleased with myself.

we just finished watching vampire hunter d. it's really not a good movie. i was so excited about the graphic novel coming out that i'd somehow conflated it with ninja scroll. i hope that is as good as i remember...

...

we got a call from someone a the consulate this afternoon, it appears they know just about as much as we do... i guess we'll keep an eye on things, but right now it seems pretty clear that we can land and that the best course of action is to get on the plane and go.

two. weeks.
