I'm at a show for The Dear Hunter and Coheed and Cambria tonight. The Dear Hunter just finished their set by transitioning a piece of their Black EP - This Body into She's So Heavy by The Beatles. Fuck. Yes.

We've been homeschooling our son this year instead of sending him to a formal kindergarten due to issues with his speech that arose due to series of seizures he had last year.
Today we gave him a Scooby Doo read-a-long toy that comes with a Scooby Doo toy that talks back when certain sentences and/or phrases are said. We were a little unsure of the wisdom behind it as it had the potential to upset him if he was unable to speak the words clearly enough for the toy to register what was being said but so far he has had no issues with it understanding him and responding to him.
Which is freakin' awesome!
It's hard to really notice the progress he is making as 1) I can understand him most of the time regardless of clarity, and 2) I don't spend long periods away from him so there's no way to really hear his improvement so this was really a cool thing to witness and to help reinforce that he his actually improving.

Happy Zombie Jesus Day everyone!
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

On Thursday, I was hurriedly called into the place I've been volunteering at for about eight months, doing things with mostly disabled prisoners and their issues.
They offered me a three month or so contract doing something different, told me that this was crucial, that I should see this as a months long interview, are going to give me benefits right out of the gate, pay me at a rate much higher than I would have asked for, and wanted me to start Monday.
I told them I was strongly interested, needed to consult with my family and significant other, and would give them an answer the next day. I did the series of talks. Everyone told me to take this and was very happy for me. I accepted the offer Friday and I start tomorrow at the place I've been wanting to work at for about two years. They do great work and the organization is superb from top to bottom.
I'm so fucking lucky and happy right now. I am going to do my best to turn this three month trial into a permanent job.

To all those celebrating: happy Easter.
Got back from church, with our basket of blessed food, had a nice family meal.
I think I wrapped up all the mortgage-related stuff yesterday, so that burden's off my chest.
Been speaking to my family all day, and it feels like a good day so far. Wishing the same for everyone.

Still such a GREAT movie all these years later!
Fun Film Note: There's that one scene where Tai comes over to burn some stuff to do with Elton....and Cher helps her before they have get into an argument...and you can TOTALLY tell that Alicia Silverstone was sick with a cold that day...but she was a trooper and shot the scene anyways.

Loki-mo, I'm happy that you're still alive on here!!
And I'm happy that I decided to revisit. Although.... it's been too long.

A hipster microbrewery opened like right across the street from my apartment. Property prices are clearly on the rise, though I fear I wont look so great in flannel and a man-bun.

Don't worry, they won't recognise you behind the big bushy hipster beard anyway.
