Mouse Saga and maybe other news

So the mouse is still not dead, clearly.  It isn’t my imagination, it’s still coming in and out.  If it’s in its death throws, I may be the lucky person to get a dead mouse in their apartment.  At this point I’m seriously tempted to go ahead and get glue traps and bait it in a way that will kill it fairly quickly, because I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS SHIT.  I just want to know when I’ll be able to be in my own apartment without being terrified of everything.

I had a pretty crappy day, too.

My classes went well, but I’m just off and tired and sad today.  Maybe it’s just my period, maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s that it’s nearly both mine and Lola’s birthdays, or maybe it’s just my usual struggle with depression.  Hell, maybe the stress of not being able to feel safe in my own apartment is finally getting to me.  Either way, even though my students are really improving and trying hard and I’m getting better at pacing my classes, everything outside of work today has kind of sucked balls in a way that I don’t know how to explain.

That wasn’t really news.

I guess I don’t have any news, just a kind of weird sad thing going on. Oh, and a fucking mouse that won’t leave or die or do anything else that it’s supposed to do, aside from make my life miserable.

Renter Friendly Typographic Wall Art | Curbly
As a renter myself, I’m always on the lookout for projects that I can do myself to decorate my home without permanently altering it! This graphic wall art is certainly eye catching and also super easy! The letters are actually made out of fabric that is stuck on the wall with a corn starch paste.  Sticks on ‘permanently’ - washes off with warm water. I’ve seen projects like this before and been skeptical about it coming off as easily as they say and it really works! Of course, you don’t have to do letters - you could even ‘wallpaper’ the wall with your favourite fabric.

Bohemian Rhapsody. Double Speed.

if you can listen to this entire thing with a straight face i will give you a cookie

I SHIT MYSELF LAUGHING 0.2 SECONDS IN OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER

at first i was like challenge accepted but then Galileo happened

JESSU CHIRTS

still better than every other song

I accepted the challenge and won. With great difficulty.

I failed like 2 seconds in. But it’s been one of the best laughs of the day, so worth it.

I should get a cookie, I made it through! Then again, I’ve listened to albums on 33 forever, so I’m pretty used to it.  My favorite part of the real song is the “ooh yeah, ooh yeah” bit towards the end, though, and that almost got me.

truebluemeandyouDIY Vlieger & Vandam Inspired Guarden Angel Leather Clutch Tutorial. One fashion blogger who saw this on my site just wrote that this was the best knockoff ever. And I have to agree. The possibilities are endless.

DIY Vlieger & Vandam Inspired Guarden Angel Leather Clutch Tutorial from Passions for Fashion here. This is not a really easy DIY, but the instructions are really good. I used Chrome to translate from Danish to English, but in the comments section she has an English translation. I would strongly suggest reading the comments’ section for advice on the thickness of leather and note the temps are in Celsius not Fahrenheit so 85 degrees Celsius is 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Very cool DIY project. Top Photo: Vlieger & Vandam FW’12/13 as seen here, Bottom Photo: DIY from Passions for Fashion. *For more knockoffs go here: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/tagged/knockoff

OH but I do have a kind of awesome bit of coherent ISKY news:

so we were together last night and at some point were listening to a playlist that I put together of songs that remind me of him.  a couple are songs that we’ve talked about that I know we both like, but most of them were just kind of me going on my own vibe.  anyhow, the playlist ended up being almost entirely songs that he REALLY loves and a couple in particular that we’d never talked about that are really, really important to him.  it’s kind of awesome and a little weird that we are so very much on the same wavelength so very much of the time.

OH OH and both of us were like, this meeting once a week thing is clearly bullshit, so I have a date on Tuesday, yay!

Filed under he may be 20 years older but we listened to and loved the exact same music in junior high

The End of The Mouse Saga?

Well, they apparently found the mouse’s whatever in the roof over my neighbor’s apartment and did whatever an poison or something.  Anyways, they didn’t even come in my apartment, which is good, because I didn’t finish anything, although I’m glad I did what I did do because it’s a lot closer to being nice and all that.

But yeah, there shouldn’t be any problems from here on out, but they won’t know for sure for like another month,  Whatever.

I’m going back to sleep.
