Today at 3:30 PM I finally did something about the terrible funk of depression that I have been wallowing.. I went to a Meetup. I spent time around humans.

Last time I posted was.. April 22nd. Thus making it a month and a week since my last blog post. I fail. Here is what has been going on with me.

I have been temping. Temping is actually a great way to get money and learn the native culture if you are new to a country. It also, will allow you to put a reference on your resume that is from the same country/state/province.

My temp agency also does the whole temp-to-hire thing, so in theory they are going to be working with me on finding a more permanent solution to my lack of steady income.

You would think that with all of this free time of not having a job, I would have had more time to scour the internet for more interesting and exciting things to be put up here.. but really it just turned me into a fat slob who hated life and wanted to do nothing but listen to Morrisey and play video games. Which is what I have been doing for the last month and a week.

Today however, today.. I went to the dollar store and got craft supplies, these supplies were acrylic paints, brushes and a picture frame. Before I went there.. I printed out a diagram of the Deathstar. I also printed out the Disney script font. But that is another thing I am going to try and do to occupy the time my friends and family no longer occupy.

I went to the Creative Geek Society Meetup, plunked myself down and totally did a pretty bad ass picture of the Deathstar, on glass and then painted a star mat behind it with the letters "I" and "U" on it in blue ( because that is the color of the light side" so that when the glass is over the mat it reads. "I" * DEATHSTAR* "U". There will be a picture up here soon of what I did. I then watched a group of geeks practice the Thriller dance for a flash mob. I felt so happy and geeky. It was rad. I need to do things like this more often.

I have also started trying to work on my penmanship. The only way I know how to do this is to daily work on it. However, I just don't want some boring script that looks like a mix between 14 year old girl hand writing and someone with cripple hand.. I want handwriting that screams hella fancy and nerdy... so....

Walt Disney font it is.

I am also, trying to learn how to play the guitar. I bought my husband an acoustic many years ago.. either for xmas or his birthday.. and well.. I am trying to learn how to play it. I however, am noticing that this is definitely a man hand guitar and not a girl hand guitar. I have been told however, that with practice, comes the ability to contort my tiny girl hands into the weird Vulcan death grips that one needs to play the guitar.

So, that is it my friends. I am going to try * I know I say this a lot* and be more diligent about posting ( it would help if people commented and let me know that they actually read this garbage.).

Live long and prosper, may the force be with you, Zai jian, Smoke me a kipper-I'll be back in the morning!
