Labour!

Apr 25 2012 2 comments Uncategorized

Ezrik’s mom is finally in labour. Her water broke a few hours ago and we’re well under way here. There’s lots of prep to be done still before the baby gets home (are white plants still an okay thing or do people like more colourful flowers?) but we’re all really excited about this at this point. This also means we’ll be moving soon, so much giddiness all around!

Outdoors

Apr 16 2012 15 comments Uncategorized

We spend so little time outdoors these days, mostly because I feel that Arizona and the Sun are trying to kill me, but I also think it’s partially because there’s just nowhere comfortable to sit outside. Besides, the back yard feels kind of like a prison yard with the high stone wall and fallen tree branches.

But, if we could get some good modern outdoor furniture in the front ‘yard’, that wouldn’t be so bad. I kind of feel like it’ll draw the eye better than the graveled in yard area and driveway and… dust.

I can’t wait until we move somewhere with seasons, and greenery, and the ability to functional decorate our yard with furniture that is both comfortable and useful.

Music

Apr 16 2012 4 comments Uncategorized

There was a point in my life where the idea of being a musician was something pivotal to me. I didn’t just want to always play the guitar (though that was always a dream as well), I had an undying love with the bassists in songs, especially if they were female and busting out some bad ass lines.

I had this weird fascination with both Rayna Foss of Coal Chamber, and Paz Lenchantin in her time in A Perfect Circle. I could listen to music and pick out the bass in there without even needing any queue (I sadly was unable to tell whether it was an Ampeg Bass, Rickenbecker, Fender, or what have you, but I could almost do it!)

somehow I felt more connected with them because they’re the unsung heroes of the music world. Without a good bass line you’re pretty much not going to get the right emotion, at least as far as I’m concerned.

Limos

I never really got to go to prom, and I’m not sure how it would have gone even if I had. Like, you think about these things when you’re younger, but then you grow up and they become less important until they pass you by and you no longer think of the tampa limo, or the pretty dress, or anything- not even the boy. It’s a somewhat calming feeling, though, to know that no matter what you’re going to find yourself in the place you were meant to be, which might be a bit introspective, but still, it’s where you belong.

No boy. No corsage. No dress. No Limo… just music and love and happiness.

April showers?

It’s funny in how many ways this can apply to me. But none of them are going to happen. We don’t get rain here in Arizona, and even if we did it likely wouldn’t happen right here for us- it makes me miss rain more than I probably should, but I kind of miss those lazy days where it was drizzling and everything felt kind of calm.

There also should be a baby shower that happens, but it won’t because we never made any real connections here, so instead gifts are coming in through the mail for Ezrik’s mom to give to Alice, who should be here in a week or so (if not she’d having her brought in and inducing or having a c-section, so who knows.)

I kind of wish there were more interesting things for me to talk about besides the mundane. I’ve been writing more, and getting inspired a bit more, and have managed to reconnect with some people that I missed terribly, but it feels utterly trite to talk about those kinds of things.

That and I kind of want to save them just for me in the end. They’re my little moments and not to be shared, or something like that!

Soon we’ll be out of here and things will be better, but for now I’ll listen to music and act like everything is perfectly fine!
