.: so comes snow after fire :.

Feeling a lot better today. Still have a couple of blisters on my feet, but nothing serious. It was definitely the hottest day in weeks, so I ate a lot before heading out of the door. Not going to faint in public again, thank you very much. For the first time since I was 13 I bought art supplies. That's... 16 years, holy crap. Obviously, it took me an eternity to choose. I wanted cheap stuff, because it's not like I'm an art student, but not too cheap, and there were lots of Disney pencils and pens that got me sidetracked, and Spiderman erasers too. Kids are so lucky nowadays, wish we had those when I was a kid. Wow, now I sound like an elderly lady. Long story short, this is what I bought:



I felt an awful lot like Steve Rogers in The Act Of Creation Will Be Your Salvation, which is one of my favourite fanfics ever (go read it, it's amazing), and it has this beautiful chapter about pencils and the colour blue, and there was a moment when I checked the pencils and got lost in thought trying to guess the proper names of all those colours. I blame the heat.



Tea and biscuits when I got back, and I finally tried the Loki tea. It's mint-flavoured. Which is, as you all know, green. I opened it, sniffed it, and started laughing. Well played, Cara, well played. :D I put icecubes in the cup, and it was very refreshing indeed. And green. ;D

( Follow the cut for the Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff teas. )



Bonus picture of Sakura. She hates the heat, and she's even sleepier than usual (considering she's a cat, she's sleeping all the time). She doesn't usually sleep in that position, she usually looks way more graceful, and her sleep is light - she actually purrs while napping. Lately her sleep is so deep she doesn't even notice when I leave the room, and I usually find her sprawled on the couch, like my dog used to do.

Yesterday night I finished watching Grimm! What an ending, what a cliffhanger! I'm so glad I only have to wait 10 days for the next season, the ending took me absolutely by surprise. I finished watching it by 1 am, and when I woke up this morning I found myself humming This is Halloween while making breakfast, which I guess was my brain processing the show. XD I did a quick search, but it seems no one made a Grimm fanvid to that song, and that's so weird.

I'll try and do my first drawing before dinner, so that I can show it to my therapist tomorrow. I already have a couple of ideas twirling around in my head, it'll be nice to put them on paper.

Yesterday Tati and I finished Kingdom Hearts 3D! It was the first time we finished a game together, what a wonderful experience! We cried, we laughed, we jumped on our seats. Beautiful, beautiful game. We're the first in our circle of friends to finish it, so we'll have to wait before we can discuss all the new plot points with anybody else. Well, in the meanwhile, there's secret bosses and secret weapons to fill our time. \o/

And big news, there are going to be three Hobbit movies instead of two. I wonder how many hours of film they actually have, they must have done every scene from the book. Not complaining, just in awe. ♥

I'm almost finished with my Grimm marathon. It reminds me a lot of the first season of Supernatural, I'm getting all nostalgic while watching a show for the first time, it's weird. Anyway, so far I love it, and I'm just in time for the start of the second season, in two weeks. No hiatus for me, yes!

Super short therapy session today, as there was an emergency back in the hospital and my therapist had to run away. We mainly talked about what "respect" means to me. It was a short, but very interesting talk. I have to write down a couple of things I'd like to discuss next week, so that I won't forget.

I came back home by 6 pm, and I had just undressed when the bell rang. It was the postman, who told me they're now doing 8-20 shifts, and they will deliver mail even in the afternoon. That's very useful! I just need to get used to the bell ringing in the afternoon, the mail only comes in the morning since the day I was born. It's going to be so weird.



The package was from Forbidden Planet, and it was my new Sonic Screwdriver! And holy crap, it looks like a sex toy even more than in the show. And it already looked like the less subtle phallic object in sci-fi history. The first time it appeared I laughed a good hour. But I needed it for my cosplay, as I only had the Tenth Doctor's one, so there. It looks like a very uncomfortable dildo. And it comes with batteries, but it's a bit too complicated to open, and I don't want to break it since it's all plastic, and let's face it, the only thing that would make it more embarassing would be giving it lights and sounds.


I stopped at GameStop while going to the hospital, and bought the new Kingdom Hearts game. Kingdom Hearts is and will always be my favourite game, and one of the stories that I love most in general, and this is the first sequel we got in years (Re:Coded does so not count), I'm so excited about it my heart is racing!


Just so you know, I have very long fingers, the kind that are usually called "pianist fingers", and this thing still looks huge in my hand.


And it's going to sit there and guard the little Soras until November. Well, I'm going to do a few test pictures as soon as the bowtie gets here, but that's going to be its place.

Yesterday I started watching Grimm. I had it on my to-see list since last year, but then I gave priority to Once Upon A Time and decided to wait and see if they gave Grimm a new season (I'm not sure my heart could stand another cancellation). So far I've seen three episodes, and loved what I saw. The plot is exactly my kind of plot: magic realism, detectives, gruesome fairytales, the whole Dresden Files song-and-dance. Let's add a main character with a serious case of Puppy Eyes, and a fierce, beautiful character as Aunt Marie. And also bees that are all guys except for the Queen, who looked like an extra from Pushing Daisies, and I love it when the details make sense and are bound to reality. Can't wait to see what else they have in store. But if they managed to make an entire episode about bees that didn't send me running up the walls in horror, it is definitely the beginning of a great friendship. ;)
