A trip to the ~New Age~ store on Friday after my dad and I retrieved my sister from her summer camp reminded me of my love of shiny sparkly rocks, and while I bought a few things at the store, the prices were a little too steep to obtain many shiny sparkly rocks. (I used to have a nice-sized rock collection when I was a teenager, but most were lost when we cleaned out the old house when my dad sold it - I did save a few things and they're scattered throughout my house, sorry to whomever has to organize when I die.) Then I remembered eBay exists! So I spent most of the weekend bidding on many sparkly things, and losing about 90% of the auctions I entered - mostly because I only bid a couple bucks on most of them, so everything else I'm still bidding on I fully expect not to win in the end. And let's be real, I'm sure I'll forget like half of what I did win, and will be surprised when packages start arriving in a few weeks. I think I might move some of the Funkos I have in the living room (a few of the Clone Wars ones) into the Funko display I have in the bedroom, weeding out some of the SW:ST ones while I'm at it, then put the rocks on the living room shelf.

I had four straight days off work, which might be the longest stretch I've been out of the office since I did a Friday/Monday off in March. We still only have two student workers and both of them usually have other work/responsibilities during the week. Next Tuesday I'm taking my sister to the Museum of Science & Industry for the day, so I'm off then, too. I bought a membership earlier this year but haven't gone yet. Hopefully traffic shouldn't be too wild getting to Chicago.

Oh, fandom5k!! I wrote:
robot chicken vs celebrity bear, Clerks/Clerks II/Askewniverse: Dante/Randal, small children, convenience store shenanigans, vague mid-life crises
something left of us, IT Chapter 2: Bill/Mike, post-movie California, finding comfort in each other

I did find it very funny to realize that twenty+ years after seeing Clerks for the first time, I managed to write the longest Dante/Randal on AO3.
