yuuago(Apologies if this posts twice; DW has been giving me tons of errors this evening.)
* Oh gods. My feet hurt. So. Bad. Not because of ill-fitting shoes; I've just done... so much walking... Damn, it's too bad I didn't take the phone with PokeGo on it; I'd have hatched a million eggs today. Upside: I did some wandering, discovered some new coffee shops away from the busiest part of downtown (and therefore more likely to be reasonably quiet), and also came across a grocery store, which certainly does mean some good things for my wallet. Mmm, fruit and granola for breakfast....
* I went to One Wave Gathering* at the legislature lawn today, and there were dance performances by various indigenous groups from the island, as well as some from the South Pacific, and it was awesome.
* Picked up a tiny cheapass sketchbook and spent some time scribbling (including while I was watching the dancers). Not actual, y'know, drawing; just some scribbly figures. It's nice. I find that if I go into things with the intent of disposing of it/recycling it after I'm finished, I enjoy it more....
* Going to go see Nomadic Tempest tomorrow evening. It's... a rock opera? Performed on a boat? Something like that. Hopefully it'll turn out to be as cool as it sounds. ;p
* I was going to write tonight, but I'm far too tired for it. ...Ordinarily I'd feel a bit bad, but I regret nothing. ;V (Well, okay, MAYBE I feel a TINY bit like a slackass for not writing anything for Synchronised Screaming two weeks in a row, but....) Hopefully I'll be able to do some scribbling tomorrow, though. The Trick or Treat signup list looks so good already, and I want to get started with writing....
* YiH: Karo showed a preview from an extra chapter* and eeeee~ <3 Ahhh Veeti's hair is doing that, you know, fwoosh, wavy thing. Loving the reminder that YiH Veeti actually is very attractive when he doesn't have that "half-dead, or maybe he just got pulled out of a swamp" sort of look goin' on... It's something that I forgot about, to the point where I even told Folie that while I love him to bits, he ain't smoochable, not so much. I CONCEDE, I take it all back, A++ would kiss.
* Imagine what a spider wearing flip flops would sound like. Just think about that for a second.

By "performed on a boat", what it actually means, is it was performed on a sailing ship in the harbour! Audience sat on the shore, and the boat was lit up like a stage. THERE WERE ACROBATS - a lot of the singing was actually done while hanging from things, it was cool. The singing was in English + four other languages (Hunqeminem, Mandarin, Spanish, and Arabic) and subtitles were projected onto a netting that went over the ship.
So, yeah, the "opera and acrobatics on a boat" thing was pretty cool. I can't say I enjoyed the entire thing - in between the song acts, there was a frame narrative projected as a film onto the screen, and the acting in that was... nnnot as great as the rest of it. Um. But hey, overall, it was neat. I've never actually seen any kind of acrobatic stuff outside of the circus (and that was a looong time ago) so that was definitely something new.

Also FIVE TOTAL LANGUAGES, huh, guess if you start by putting the whole thing on a ship then there is no need to really hold back.
