It's been a boring few days broken up only by the writers meeting yesterday which was more of a bullshit session but those are fun too.

Today L and TH and I went out to arch and eddies for his birthday. It was nice. Actually got a little sympathy from L who's hurt her knee and said 'now I know why you get up like you do' (I have to use my arms many times because of the leg injuries). "Yeah sucks doesn't it."

Because I almost never watch the station and none of my friends were talking about it, I had NO idea Marvel's Inhumans was going to be a thing. I tentatively enjoyed the opening 2 hours. I had forgotten how much I liked Lockjaw, Black Bolt and Medusa back in the day.

One thing I did accomplish at the writers' meeting was I finished a cis for Brendan so you can meet him LAYER ONE : THE OUTSIDE
• Name: Brendan Halloran
• Eye Color: Bright Blue
• Hair Style/Color: walnut brown, very thick, stands up some in the front but is relatively short.
• Height: 6’4”, thin and rangy.
• Clothing Style: well tailored causal clothes, he’s a bit of a clothes horse but usually nothing to fancy normally. Does have a nice collection of geeky t-shirts
• Best Physical Feature: His slightly sarcastic smile.

LAYER TWO: THE INSIDE
• Your Fears: moving on and forgetting my son.
• Your Guilty Pleasure: comic books
• Your Biggest Pet Peeve: fans who think they own me.

• You Think Your Best Quality Is: How does this go with the rest of the questions? My creativity, hands down.

LAYER FOUR: WHAT’S BETTER?
• Single or Group Dates: Single please.
• To be Loved or Respected: loved and respected. They’re not mutually exclusive.
• Beauty or Brains: Brains hands down.
• Dogs or Cats: cats because they’re mostly to care for.

LAYER FIVE: DO YOU?
• Lie: I try not to but sometimes it’s unavoidable (like escaping a bad fan).
• Believe in Yourself: Yes I do.
• Believe in Love: Yes I do, very much so.
• Want Someone: Not at the moment. I’m too wounded.

LAYER SIX: EVER?
• Been on Stage: Not as an actor but as a guest speaker at cons.
• Done Drugs: A little pot might have been smoked but otherwise not really.
• Changed Who You Were to Fit In: Hell no but I was in the popular group in high school and as an adult I’m smarter than that.

LAYER SEVEN: FAVORITES
• Favorite Color: Green
• Favorite Animal: octopus
• Favorite Movie: Ghostbusters (original and okay I’m sure there are others but this is the kind of question that makes you freeze when you try to think of one)
• Favorite Game: Poker

LAYER EIGHT: AGE
• Day Your Next Birthday Will Be: June 21st
• How Old Will You Be: 36

LAYER TEN: FINISH THE SENTENCE
• I love: creating new worlds
• I feel: depressed to the point of I can’t see a way out.
• I hide: that I doubt myself
• I miss: my son, Connor.
• I wish: I could fund the cure to cancer so no other parent has to go through what I have, so no one else’s son dies.

And here are my two new necklaces for the steampunk ball. They're not actually steampunk, but rather done for our theme of 20,000 leagues under the sea/Jules Verne. The seahorse one is too short still but I do like how it came out. I don't think the octopus one came out as I had hoped.
