Awards Season: Week 6

It's my birthday! I didn't get particularly retrospective over the new year, but I'm feeling it a bit now, just because I remember my last birthday SO clearly and my current situation is SO different. It's only been a year, and I'm a homeowner now! I've got a big ol' bedroom with my own bathroom and I keep them clean and have space to do things like exercise and I have a little pull out floor couch that I can curl up on to watch movies on my large, conveniently streaming television! I was so miserable for so long and things just kept coming up to make me put off finding my own place and things are finally looking up and just. Happy reverse golden birthday to me!

I have ordered myself a birthday burrito then it's back to my '2 a week' limit.

Goddamn, I hate Dreamwidth cutting out spellcheck.

ANYWAY, my mom got me a slick new 8-in-1 record player (along with some random old records from one of her tenants who used to be a DJ), so I can finally toss my junky old one and also the old Walkman I found in the move, I am VERY excited, even if I'm still trying to figure out where in my room to put it. And then my grandmother got me Artpop on vinyl! And my brother got me some cute winter boots, which are very appreciated as I'm currently hip-deep in our second bad cold snap of the winter.

Just gotta tough it out for the week, then it's supposed to warm up again. C'mon global warming, do your thing.

Until then, I have music. And also movies!
