holly_evolvingMy paid account expired. I'll update that again at some point. I also want to change the name of this journal, which incurs another fee. Boo to that. But someday I will be Holly Evolving here as well as everywhere else. I took the name imaplatypus at a time when I thought my life was a joke:
The Platypus Disclaimer from Dogma
"Disclaimer: 1) a renunciation of any claim to or connection with; 2)a desavowal; 3) a statement made to save one's own ass.
Though it'll go without saying ten minutes or so into these proceedings, View Askew would like to state that this film is- from start to finish- a work of comedice fantasy, not to be taken seriously. To insist that any of what follows is incendiary or inflammatory is to miss our intention and pass undue judgment; and passing judgment is reserved for God and God alone (this goes for you film critics too... just kidding).
So please - before you think about hurting someone over this trifle of a film, remember: even God has a sense of humore. Just look at the platypus. Thank you and enjoy the show.
P.S. We sincerely apologize to all platypus enthusiasts out there who are offended by that thoughtless comment about the platypi. We at View Askew respect the noble platypus, and it is not our intention to slight these stupid creatures in any way.
Than you again and enjoy the show."
So that worldview is 13 years old now and I've outgrown it. I'm not a joke. I'm a person and I deserve to take myself, and my health and mental well being, seriously.
Platypodes are still awesome, though.
So what's going on?
Steve and I moved to Chester. It's a small apartment for us and 3 cats (who all get along, thank goodness) but with some serious organizing, it will work fine. The property is huge, and gorgeous, and huge, and magical, and huge. The apartment is upstairs from our friend's pewter foundry, behind his house. There's a meadow where Steve and I have made a garden, and woods, and a lake full of frogs. It's pretty freaking magical.
The move is technically still not done as Steve still has some stuff in Walden.
Still working from home for the same company, and still on temp assignment. They're dangling full time hire in front of me for "when we finish this conversion" but I know enough about rebuilding infrastructure to know that that will take at least 6 months longer than they thought it would. Meanwhile, I've been made editor of the company newsletter as well as a contributor and my boss encouraged me to apply for a slightly less peon-y position. So that's cool, I guess. More than $12 an hour would be cooler, but that's the struggle.
Been doing some writing, and some pewter casting, and getting lots more involved in the SCA. Have some pictures!
