My son and I had a nap together.

My healthcare provider took me off the Warfarin I was on for blood clot! 

Adding Eluveitie to my list of music.

Was at the lake this evening in boymode, so i went to the men's rooms. Just washed my hands at the sink next to the door, when some older man openend it, then abruptly nearly closed it and checked the sign. Then he held the door open for me, i just said "thanks" and went out with a HUGE grin

Yay!



I finally cleared the Weekender Girl stage in my Hatsune Miku Project Diva demo.  I literally leaped in happiness....kind of like my avatar.

A walk along the beach at sundown

A delicious salad and an afternoon spent with a great friend.

I had a bit of a late lunch because we had a Board meeting today... but that meant I was able to get the ice-cream I haven't been able to get all week because of the length of the queues at my usual lunchtime.

So... today's lunch included two scoops of Thornton's chocolate ice-cream with chocolate sauce, in a chocolate-dipped cone. Mmmmmmm   

The holidays have begun.

Watching Orange is the new Black with Caleb. Its good, but would be better if I were able to snuggle with him as we watch together. Stupid Glass Wall!.

Had lunch with a colleague from my former job in a restaurant we had frequently gone to together up until the end of last year and where I was known as a guy. The waitress was still the same but she visibly didn't make the connection as she called me Madame from beginning to end in spite of my gender neutral dress. Pure joy!

Rightly so...kudos!

Experimenting with voices:

For What It's Worth

verse (panned left) : old technique
verse (panned right): new technique

then the chorus:

1. Sara-esque voice
2. old technique (doubletracked)
3. Elvis impersonation (doubletracked)
4. new technique (doubletracked? don't remember)
5. almost chipmunky fake-sounding voice (doubletracked?)
6. high screamed "STOP!" (with heavy echo applied)
All to create a vocal harmony

Passed like a boss. In a game store, no less.

Oh, and I bought some LGBT t-shirts from American Apparel.

Congratulations on passing

My sister brought me home a strawberry sundae from McDonalds :3

I am going to spend the afternoon reading this really interesting book called 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' about the ways our brains process information and why me make the decisions that we do. It was written by a Nobel prize winner, and I've seen it recommended multiple places.

Shantel gave me some excellent insight which really did make a difference today.

I was able to make my younger sister friends laugh.

Met a facebook friend today. It just so happens that she lives in the next town, so she came to visit me today. We had a nice long talk. We each talked about our transitions to date. Had a wonderful time. 

I told her about Susan's, I hope she joins soon. I think she will have a lot to offer this community.
