my hi-fi is waiting for a new tune

reflectedeveI fail at dressing for season; my coworkers were standing around the kitchenette discussing how much they enjoy their summer wardrobes when I wandered in, all in black. Oops? I didn't even think about that; I chose this outfit for the skirt, because I'm not allowed to wear shorts in the office. Hmmm.
Also, last Friday I was mistaken for an employee of the Museum of Fine Arts twice (all in black again--I swear I do wear colors--with a red tie). Possibly I should work on this.
It's a little disorienting, as always, being back at work after a long weekend. Mine was full of hanging around making art whileoliviacirce wrote, in my apartment and cafes, occasionally sharing thoughts about Charles Xavier's characterization; we cooked each other some delicious food, watched Return To Oz with my roommate (who has been after me about it forever), and went out Saturday night for a flaily fangirl dinner with aria, polarisnorth, everysecondtuesday, and the_wanlorn. I would like to spend my time like this, always.
Yesterday, the traditional 1776 viewing party atomnia_mutantur's house was made even a tiny bit more fabulous by a miniature ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
intensityboat reunion (though of course we missed our absent members ♥).
So that was all lovely. I did have a couple of fandom-related jarring moments, oddly enough; I discovered quite a direct copy of this picture posted by a deviantart user, and also that the random (non-LJ/DW-based) fan awards I've had a piece nominated for has a rule against slash (or rather, "characters established in the series/Nikki Heat novels as straight but portrayed as gay," ugh). Fortunately, a gentle but firm request was all that it took to get the drawing taken down, so I'm very lucky there. I'm dropping the awards organizers a sharp note asking them to remove my work. Unexpected interactions with sections of fandom not my own ... always a bit weird.
This coming weekend, I'm off north to have a look around the apartment I'm almost certainly taking for the fall. I'm moving out of the Boston area in about a month! Everything just keeps speeding up, though I keep trying to find some stillness within it all.
I still owe a few people questions from a few posts ago. I'll try and do those soon!
