Life news this week:
- Saturday I had band practice. Dad picked me up early and we chatted about music on the car ride. We were set up on the porch instead of in the usual music room because we needed to do a test run of the electronics and make sure we could play in the heat. There were a lot of songs we'd added recently that we'd never played before so it was a little rough but at least we knew where we needed to apply the most work. A rain storm cut our practice short so we weren't able to practice the last set. We had a nice lunch at JPan afterwards and went home--it was good to catch up on life stuff with Dad as well. Then I did my blogging, walking, and Poloing Meg. I relaxed a bit and did some reading.
- Sunday was productive. I did relax a little in the morning reading old comics and stuff but I also got my redecorating done and my trash out early. I evaluated the band recordings and wrote up some practice notes. Then I did my DDR exercise. Kari came over and we caught up on life events. As she was leaving I discovered Birdle had returned after a very long absence! (Okay, well, Birdle is probably multiple birds that have visited me over the years. But still! Birdle!) I did my laundry and found out I was shortlisted on a pretty big project for voice over.
- Monday I went to work and had two meetings and a letter to work on. Then I worked on my monthly writing comic and recorded a video. Birdle came again! I processed the video I'd recorded, read some of a book, got some feedback on my YA novel from my critique partner Ben via Polo, and put away some laundry.
- Tuesday I did some data entry updates and some video transcript stuff for my new video. I sent a Polo to Ben responding to his feedback. Made some edits to a sound file to help the band practice. Did some voice-over audition stuff and found out that big voice-acting shortlist isn't going forward for me--it looks like they kinda UN-shortlisted me? The organization and communication for it was very weird, so I'm okay with that. I did some aerobics and made a hair appointment. And I updated my voice-over website with my latest small roles.
- Wednesday I did some meetings and planning for our interview at work. I did another Polo for Ben and one for Meg. I did my monthly goals update post and sent a bunch of queries. Jeaux came and we ate at Mandola's but I didn't like my main dish. Too bad! We shopped and hung out at my house after. After he left I sent a few more queries.
- Thursday I did some stuff with timesheets at work and put together a draft staffing chart. We had a long meeting about the interview. Did some short story submissions and practiced music. Updated our business cards. Wrote my comic storyboard and drew some of it while hanging out at game night. Did aerobics.
- Friday we had the day off for a substitute July 4, so I went to a band practice. It went pretty well practicing the songs we didn't have hashed out yet. Then Dad took me home and I worked on my comic. I took a little nap and finished the comic when I got up, and posted it. Did some reading and finished the book I was reading. Read over some lines for a scheduled table read. Made an ad for our upcoming performance.
Interviews, Articles, Mentions:
- The Invisible Orientation got recommended in the comments of a Reddit post this week.
Health Plan Update:
- Nutrition stuff: I got my three servings of fruits and veggies every day this week, and I only met my protein goals 3 out of 7 days. My dad gave me a bunch of cookies and they threw off the balance in the early part of the week, along with my restaurant day. I am still taking my vitamins.
- Activity stuff: I'm continuing to do DDR or aerobics every other day. I made my 10,000-step walking goal every day this week. Based on my phone's app, my low day was Monday at 10,152 steps, and my high day was Thursday at 12,079 steps.

New asexuality video: "Why do asexual people like CHILDISH things?" This is a deep dive into why people suggest asexual people like childish things, what they're trying to communicate such things, and what it says about the people who make this claim. Also examines to what extent it might be true in some cases and why.
