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.

Sounding less like a Camper and more like a Passed Out Drunk.
You can usually smell the difference. Also, I did once have to deal with a camper who slept this soundly.
I resorted to kicking their leg until they got up (I suspect they were awake for longer, but were pretending to still be asleep, hoping I’d give up and leave them alone)
You know, somehow none of the times I did Video Room duty ever involved dealing with this. And I had a nice poking stick ready just in case!
Hey there’s a song I know. That’s a good one, All Star that is.
Her mistake was the musical selection. It’s much too gentle. I mean, it was in the Shrek soundtrack, so he might be dreaming that’s what’s playing in the film room.
Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” works quite well in this situation. So does “Fire” by Arthur Brown.
I’d go with Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Very high chance he’ll wake up in time to headbang along with the bridge. Everyone does.
KISS’s “Rock and Roll All Night (And Party Every Day) would wake the dead!
I use speed metal to rouse my campers from their mooching slumber.
Speed metal has a very soothing quality to me — I often fall asleep listening to it…
I’ve unintentionally fell asleep in the anime room.
..while I was the volunteer watching it. The midnight-4am ‘Hentai shift’. I made it to about 1am.
Folks poked me awake when it was time to switch out Laserdiscs; I did, then promptly passed out again. Luckily, it was a verrrry laid-back con. And anyone awake to see Henta at 3am in the era of Laserdiscs was not a troublemaker.
Also I apparently can’t say the word ‘hen tai’ in the comments. (o_O)
…I didn’t specifically ban it. Must be built into WordPress by default.
I edited your post so the spelling is fixed…
