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.

The VGR is always a fun place to pass the time at a con. But I can agree, Sunday is kind of a slow and boring day.
Yeah down time at cons is how I usually try video games I’m on the fence on buying, or just ask the vgr desk person for anything they think is not as popular as it should be. That is oddly how I discovered Katamari Damacy.
I kill a lot of my time at cons finding someplace out of the way I can watch the hall traffic and just enjoy the parade of costumes passing by.
I’m more wondering why people aren’t running around screaming, “Oh noes!” and preparing for the end times. Hearing the words “I’m so bored right now” from Sarah would be like a rattlesnake’s rattle, or a porcupine presenting it’s quills. If the situation doesn’t get resolved right quick, bad stuff is liable to happen to anyone in the immediate area. Not purposefully, probably – but boredom must be assuaged – and it may get hairy.
