even though you're gone.
Apr. 12th, 2010 04:03 amPoland was hit really hard by the death of their president, his wife and ninety other public officials. Watching the week of mourning occur on television and seeing all those people together is...really depressing. The Polish community here in Chicago is just as passionate; they held a morning mass and they're honoring a local artist who was killed in the crash, someone who sought to educate people on the Katyn Forest massacre of 22,000 Poles.
I didn't know much about the president or the country's politics, and it makes me a little embarrassed to admit that, considering I'm mostly Polish. It did inspire me to look more into my cultural background and remind myself of my roots. I'm sure my grandparents would've wanted that.
On a lighter note, I'm off for the week, until I have to go back next Monday. Work today was a little dull, since I worked escalators instead of an aisles, but I preferred that for the day. It was quiet! And the weather was a little chilly, but it wasn't so bad.

Sep. 15th, 2009 04:07 amI realized I haven't made a post about real life and general things in a few days, outside of those twitter posts. Oh, and I should work on putting LJ cuts on those. I'll get around to that tomorrow or Wednesday. For now, have some bullet points with notes and random thoughts.
• Dear 2009: Stop with the celebrity deaths, please. Thanks.
• It's a good thing we don't have any booze around here and I have little to no interest in it. If I made up a drinking game about Kanye West and any LJ/twitter post that mentions him, it wouldn't end well.
• I noticed that I hadn't been paying attention to any television shows. I think I got utterly disappointed with Heroes so badly that I dropped TV altogether. Most of the time my TV is off and I'm either reading or playing around on the computer/PSP. So uh. What's everyone watching lately?
• I've been writing! Considering I've been suffering from a writer's block for a long time, I feel good. I'm still not happy with the finished products, but it's better than nothing.
I've got a problem, though. I have an RP line to writeI've been putting it off since June, I have to write it, and this OC's voice isn't active, at all, which ... making me panic a lot, because he's ... literally not clicking in my head, no matter what I try and do with him. I've had this character since I was fifteen or sixteen years old, and I don't want his muse to go comatose on me. :( Can any writer on the flist lead me to writing exercises I can work through to poke him back to life? Anything will help a lot. ♥
• Also, I am in dire need of Beast Boy/Lightning icons. Dammit,cheriestar. I am looking at you. (LJ totally needs to give us more icon space. 100 icons, plus one royalty icon for every subscription renewal, is not enough.)

I just learned that Wayne Anthony Allwine - the voice of Mickey Mouse since 1977 - died on May 18th. He was only 62 years old.
What's even more depressing was that he was married to the current voice of Minnie Mouse, Russi Taylor. :(
