* Windows open. Bathroom and kitchen scrubbed down. I want to purge the toys from this house. I have baskets to sort through. Later we're going to wash all the snowpants and tuck them away. Heavy coats will stay out for another 2-3 weeks. Spring, please be here for good.
* Yesterday at the grocery store cute check-out boy caught me off guard by noticing my shirt (it says "art as activism") and asking who my favorite artist is. A question I cannot answer with just one name. On the spot, I blurted out "Judy Chicago!" Hi, my name is Rilla and I love vagina art. LOL. /dork. I mean, I do love vagina art, but did the check-out boy need to know this about me? Probably not. (I say "boy" because he was in his early twenties at best, and I am clearly an old lady now.)
* Eldest wants to take a summer course at one of the local colleges for middle school/young high school students (how is she old enough for that??? I don't know.). She's undecided on sculpture or stop-motion animation. What she really wants is performing arts, but alas, she'll be at Girl Scout camp that week.
* Second eldest is reading through the Death Note series like they're nothing at all. Every few days we're at the library picking up 2 or 3 of them. He is so me at that age.
* I'm feeling the pull of original tugging me away from fanfic again. I think it's a result of signing up for so many lengthy, plotted fics. It's got me thinking in long-term storytelling.
* That said, I'm still very much enamored with the fic I'm writing at the moment, and in particular, I'm looking forward to being able to "reveal" what I wrote for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hp_nextgen_fest. And I also signed up for nextgendarkfest because I saw a prompt that I could. Not. Resist. Darkfic has been in my head lately. Deeply, deeply. More on that to come.
* Last night's Justified. *flail* I can't even. I just. God. Finally a show with strong women all over it. *FLAIL*
* Steve Martin's tweets are very often the highlight of my day. Seriously, I think the medium of Twitter was invented for that man.
