Working

[karadinart]

Day 3 of 6 days, Saturdays are busier than most, possibly because no one ever thinks that we are open on Sundays! Yesterday had quite a long lull, until of course, everyone decided to come in at the same time, around 3. In fact, one customer with 3-4 pieces decided to come back today at noon when we open, cos it was only me there by myself.

Gonna take daughter in with me, and we have a Bogo coupon for Caribou next door, so maybe get one of those mint chocolate frozen coffee drinks. I have wed to sat off, and will probably do some much needed art or jewelry making, got to do an artist's trading card for dean greyson.

Maybe will see ST into darkness on Sat. I wanna see Benedict.

How y'all doin?

Oh, also reading GAME OF THRONES, just something my bro has been TRYING to get me to read since 1996. But this way, (I said) I don't have to wait years between installments, but it will be kind of cool to share a 'fandom' with him, though he's a big fan, he's never wanted to engage with other fans online, and i kind of get that these days. I really miss lj being an active meeting place, then again, the people who have stayed tend to be more (dare I say) mature (despite age) and more about character and development, less hopefully about objectifying and fetishizing the actors.

Anyone else into GOT? I had heard some rumor that the big fansite was very anti-slash ...

Have a great day today, and also, Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Momma's Day to you too!

Happy Mother's Day!

I don't do much with the fandom any more, but I like hanging around LJ to catch up with people. It seems like Tumbler is more about passing around stuff rather than actually generating content. You see the same things over and over and over again.

Yep, passing things around and teenage self absorption!

Hope you have a productive and creative few days off. Sounds like a break from the shop will be welcome - we all need a chance to refocus once in a while and hopefully the art/jewellery activity will restore a sense of enjoyment. Enjoy the time out!

Don't get me wrong, if I had to have a job, this is the one, helping people with their framing, and when it's not busy being able to check out stuff online, but, it's not like being at home to make jewelry or draw, and I haven't written in so long, it's difficult to get in the swing of it again.

that said, I like what G is up to these days, and I'm ready to get back in the swim with him (now that YFC is over) are you getting the new double CD? Do you know if the booklet sticker version is dears only?

I am massively into GOT and even used it as my case study for my fandom studies lecture - showed them fan works and compared them to official HBO media that engages with fans (comparing the fuckya tumblr to the HBO tumblr was a lot of fun). Ii don't read slash in that fandom but it was harder for me to find slash vis compared to character vids and synopsis vids made by fans. AO3 has a lot of slash fanfic but no idea on other places.

i've read all the books and watch the TV series, love them both for very different reasons. book 3 is the fan fave though - total game changer!

i love brienne.

cool, I will read the books and we can chat about it, luckily, I read (and retain it) very fast.
