Things: a subset of stuff

[slipjig3]

1)  My health insurance lapsed recently, but they've had my renewal paperwork for five or six weeks. An attempt to call and get the story led to a half-hour on hold, followed by a recording that said, "We're sorry, the office is unexpectedly closed. Please try again tomorrow." I'm translating this in my head as "Shit! He's coming! Everybody hide!"

2)  Boy, drivers are cranky these days.

3)  This past weekend, cluegirl and I got together for a Murder Ballads work weekend to try and get together the last of the Indiegogo perks. We're juuuuust about there, having written up all of the packaging labels (both to and from) by hand, handwriting thank you cards, and jamming in laminated bookmarks and sticks and CDs and T-shirts; all that's left is lithographs for those who are receiving them and hauling the whole mess out to the post office. With our tongues still coated in envelope glue, we then had ourselves a grand old last-minute song circle with aquila_dominus, blimix, light_in_motion, and a handful of folks without LJ handles that I'm aware of. (We debuted a couple of new ones, "Spider and Wasp" and "Fireside," and did an arse-punting run of "White Stag," which is poised to become our new crowd favorite.)

4) The other thing Catt and I did this weekend: made a birthday video for the divine Miss S.J. Tucker. We're downright smug about it.

I totally love this little video -- and the song? OMG. *laughs*

♥ you guys. This song should be sung at every natalversary.


In other news, that totally sucks about the health insurance coverage. Try calling right at the time they open - usually people have better luck first thing in the morning.

"Humdingular" is a pretty amazing word. :)
