I'm back!

Did you miss me?  Or is that just wishful thinking on my part? 

While I was not blogging this past week, I was spending time on one of my multiple otakus*: art!  I have an art installation (my first) going up next week (just in a local cafe--don't get too excited), and spent every possible moment finishing a piece (even missing out on Easter with my parents, which sucked because in addition to loving my parents, I really enjoy dyeing eggs**).  My art stuff also necessitated a three-hour trip to Home Depot and various other hardware stores to find mounting*** materials that would comply with the cafe's idiosyncratic rules. 

At Home Depot, I learned three important things:

1. My Home Depot suffers from an unfortunate dearth of butch lesbians. 
2. The lumber section of Home Depot smells awesome.  Just one whiff made me start fantasizing about home improvement projects--particularly noteworthy considering that I do not own a home and have neither the ability nor the inclination to engage in projects involving nails, saws, screws,**** and the like.  (Such things are why this metrosexual butch has a non-metrosexual butch DGF, after all.)
   
3. While Home Depot employees seem skilled in the art of cutting wood, the art of measuring is an altogether different story.
   

Anyway, I am now back to life at its usual frenetic-but-bearable pace, so brace yourself for my usual frenetic-but-bearable frequency of posts.

Much love,
BW

P.S. Another thing I learned this week: the amount of Robin's Eggs I can consume is limited only by the number I can purchase.


* Is that how you pluralize "otaku," or is it already plural?  Also, despite the term's frequent association with anime and manga, I am a fan of neither.  I learned the term from Seth Godin. 
** Holidays are awesome excuses for doing weird shit.  Think about it: what other time of year could you color eggs or haul a tree inside, decorate it, and prop it up in your living room without having people think you were nuts?
***  Heh heh.  She said "mounting."
****  Heh heh.  She said "screws."
