Currently In My Brain

Here’s a real quick house update before I jump into what’s wriggling around in my brain. ^_^

The inspection went fine and there were no nasty surprises! (Aka, the house isn’t half-eaten by termites.) We’re still waiting to hear back from the seller about a few things, and then we can start processing the loan. WOOHOOO!!!

Oh, and since we’ll be adding a kitchen to the basement, my MIL and I started searching Craigslist for cabinets. It looks like we’ll be able to get good cabinets for the entire kitchen for about $300-$600!! We also priced some used appliances, and that looks really good too. ^_^ I know she was worried that the kitchen would use up a ton of her money, but it seems we can get it done for about $1500. (My dad will help with installs. (He’s a contractor.))

Now, on to what else is going on in my head!

 

Current Earworm

I started playing Rockband 3 a few days ago, and proceeded to spend a LOT of time working on songs with the keyboard. *^_^* Somewhere along the way I got “The Con,” by Tegan and Sara in my head. I can’t embed the official music video, but you can listen to the live version instead!

I tend to get songs stuck in my head for days at a time, so hopefully I’ll have something new for you later in the week. ^_^

 

Currently Reading

I finished Scar Night and have semi-started Iron Angel. (It’s the 2nd book in the trilogy.) By “semi-started” I mean that it’s in my bathroom, and I’ve read about 10 pages in it so far. *^_^*

Scar Night really picked up the pace and got quite interested, but it started out very slow. Unfortunately, I’m getting that feel from Iron Angel too. And it’s strange because there are SO many neat concepts that are absolutely fascinating! (Soul pearls, warring brother-gods, a skyship hidden in fog, etc.) But I just don’t feel sparked by them. Gah. >_<

It might take me a while, but I’ll make it through!

 

Currently NetFlixing

I’m a little ashamed of this one. *^_^* I read an article on Yahoo! that referenced a girl on Toddlers & Tiaras, and I thought, “You know… I’ve heard a lot about it, but I’ve never actually seen an episode….”

So I put it in my instant queue and settled in to be properly horrified.

The first episode was what I expected, so it didn’t exactly horrify me. The second episode I found really interesting because I had no idea there were different type of pageants! “Glitz” pageants are the ones we’re familiar with. That’s where the fake tans, hair pieces, heavy makeup, and SUPER sequined outfits come in. “Natural” pageants are just the girls as they are. No makeup. No hair pieces. No super-fancy outfits.

Conceptually I like that idea. ^_^ But they only discussed the differences and didn’t show a “natural” pageant. I’d like to see how that actually plays out.

Oh, and one dress for a contestant cost $800. The contestant was a two year old. >_<

That’s more than my entire wardrobe, but I’m kinda cheap. *^_^* I wear my clothes until they start falling apart, and then I wear them for a few more years.

*Innocent whistle*

So that’s what’s going on with me! What are you currently listening to/reading/watching?
