So right now I'm sitting in my living room, kind of exhausted, looking at a green chair that used to sit in my Grandmother's living room. This weekend was eventful, and I'm tired.
Crysta and I went down to Milwaukee so we could spend father's day with my parents (along with some other family members). We went to the Brewer's game on Sunday, and like any game of baseball, it was a good time. I've never been a huge sports person, but I love watching a good live baseball game.
Honestly it was an amazing day.
Before I left town on Saturday though, I swung by the local No Kings protest here in Eau Claire, and then spent a chunk of time at the local Pride celebration. I tend to be a bit of a shut in these days, so with all the awful stuff in the news it was nice to remind myself that there are good people in the world willing to stand up for what's right and for each other.
My grandmother passed away not that long ago, and one thing I had my parent set aside for me was a chair. I realize that it looks a bit more gold in the photo, but trust me when I say it's green in real life. This morning I loaded it into my pickup and drove it across the state and got it into my living room. I loved this chair as a kid, and importantly... it swivels. And when I was growing up adults would always yell at me not to spin the chair. Well guess what, it's my chair now.
And no one can stop me from spinning.
I dunno -- it was just a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. We also went out to dinner after the baseball game yesterday, but I think I'll give my full opinion on that later this week in a different blog post. Because we went to a restaurant none of us had been to before, and uh... I have thoughts.
That was vague. I'm being vague. You're just going to have to be okay with that.

Captain Cute to the rescue!!
This entire arc reminds me of NebrasKon one year, where an attendee (cosplaying in Racoon City riot gear) went into a bank with his fake guns…
Cops were called, guns were verified as fake, he was let go with a warning. Some people just don’t think of the “outside world” or “mundanes” when they do stuff like this.
I remember doing a play once where I was Jesse James (long story). I’d also come down with a cold (which I do whenever I do a play at the same time I’m working a 40-hour week, something about over extending myself) and I’d decided to get myself an orange juice at the bodego next door. In full costume and make up (western outfit, three day growth of (fake) beard and two six guns). The next day I went into the same bodego BEFORE the performance to get the orange juice and the owner said; “That was YOU last night, wasn’t it? Man, I almost kicked your ass out of my store coming in looking like that!”
I can sorta understand it. You’re just doing your thing and don’t think how it looks to other people. Couple years ago, went to see a movie on halloween. As I came out, took a moment to figure why people were looking at me funny. Had forgotten i was in costume.
Con i went ti this weekend had a booth next to the general lee at the entrence selling confederate flags…. ill trade them
