gnatpackFor once I have actually remembered my Sunday journal on Sunday. But I remembered it because... I thought today was Monday when I woke up. So it's a bit of a toss up if this counts as progress.
It's starting to get hot as we approach June. And by "starting" I mean that with the humidity it feels like 117 degrees Fahrenheit according to the weather people. This is great for someone like me who hates sweating and being warm and doesn't have a lot of heat-friendly clothes.
However, I have a plan to make the summer heat more bearable. No one else in the house thinks it's a good idea, but that's just because they haven't seen my plan in action yet. The idea is simple: we make soup and put gelatin in it. Or we put the soup in our under-used ice cream machine. Not only is it cooling and nutritious, but it adds some texture variety. So far the general response has mainly been "why are you trying to bring back midcentury jello meals".
My decision to drop the courses I was planning to take in June is proving to be the correct one. This week is going to be pleasantly busy with projects in preparation for the radio's launch, which isn't too much to manage but would have burnt me out if classes were also starting next week. Moral of the story: don't sign up for classes in March when you don't know how the weather will be in June.
The first episode of my show is officially written, which is a bit terrifying because now it comes down to if I'm actually an okay live voice actor. The writing I have experience with, but voice acting is another matter. But there's not much point in worrying over my ability too much; the most I can do is try my best, and freaking myself out isn't particularly productive.
In other news, things with my Buffy neocities site are getting to the "stop wasting time" point. It's not the sort of project that will ever truly be finished, so it's more an issue of how unfinished do I want it to be when I start out. Because if it's too bare bones at the start it'll be confusing more than interesting. My goal will be sometime in June, once I'm not spending so much time preparing for the radio show launch. We'll see how things really play out though; Buffyverses is kind of one of those projects that I work on really intensely for a while and then don't touch for weeks.
