Personal Life Update (finally)

List format cause I'm awesome like that.

1. Thesis defense date is scheduled for June 2, bright and early. Then I'm going to present for the zoo on June 10. The next step is to have a project to show off. Which at this point is an evaluation plan of their social media efforts on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
2. Muu got  into a kitchen. It's down in SeaTac, as part of a hotel restaurant, and he's pretty much on the bottom rung, by hey he's in a kitchen, it's dedicated to local foods, and the head chef worked at The French Laundry for five years. So that's cool.
3. Speaking of my duckling, his birthday is Thursday, so we're probably going to get our foodie on. I think doing one of the full Art of the Table suppers would be a possibility, or if we wait for May, we can do a different tasting menu at Tilth. Or Wild Ginger, we haven't been there in a while.
4. School is is full swing right now. Have internship + thesis, plus a class on community centered museums (for which I had to write a wikipedia article of all things), and a class that's basically resume/job interview skills, plus learning some of the emerging trends in museums (as observed by two middle aged academic museologists).
5. I'd like to get down to Rainier Beach sometime and see the Kubota Garden. Related, I think their web site design is heinous and it's a pity you can't contact them by email.
6. We actually cleaned today. The good: I found something that will work on the tub. The bad: The mop head basically disintegrated the moment I held it up.
7. I did actually write my Fukunaga/Nao fic. Unfortunately, Fukunaga's roommate remains something of a mystery in my own mind (or legend) because my original story idea didn't quite work, but it was kind of happy and warm, which is the type of porn I write.
8. Rough drafts for ff_exchange and lgbtfest both done. I think the FF one basically just needs to be beta-read or self-edited for minor adjustments. The lgbtfest one needs a complete rewrite of one section, and then a POV shift for the other ones.
9. Oh yeah, and I'm on both LJ and Dreamwidth now. Though LJ seems more personal, and Dreamwidth more fannish/meta.
