I need to write, but about all I’m interested in doing right now is continuing my Shadowhunters marathon (yeah, I started back at the beginning; no, I haven’t watched the first episode of season 3 yet), color, and eat powdered sugar donuts. At least I can do a little writing with Shadowhunters on in the background, and I suppose I can eat powder sugar donuts as well, but I’m attempting to save a few of the donuts for tomorrow. Mostly in a “I really shouldn’t eat the entire bag today,” kind of way. I have other stuff I need to do, besides the writing, I mean. Part of the deal with coming to the beach apartment, by myself no less, was that I would do a couple things around here to help my family get this place ready to be rented out for vacations for other people. None of what dad asked me to do is particularly hard, at least I hope not. I’m supposed to swap a sound system and bring home the one that’s here right now, unhook and take home one of the Blu-ray players, and then label the remotes with which things they go to to help the people who rent the place use the TV etc.
The only part I’m nervous about is the sound system situation I think, especially dragging it all out to my car in the parking lot on the other side of the world. I’m guessing that I need to bring my car down to the loading area for that adventure which I really hate doing because the loading area is always busy and the spots are tight and it’s difficult to maneuver and just all kinds of ugh. On the other hand, going down the elevator, across the street, up the other elevator, and then through the other parking lot doesn’t particularly sound like a great idea either.
I just bought the label maker today and I’ve never used one before so I guess I could be nervous about that too, but I’m hoping it isn’t terribly hard to figure out. I’m usually pretty good and fiddling with toys like that so I don’t expect to have issues with it.
Ugh, my nails are all wonky right now. I shouldn’t have ripped the gel polish off my nails, but when it starts to rip, it just feels so satisfying to pull it off and going back to the salon to have them redone takes time and money that I didn’t want to spend. I’ve been putting some strengthening polish on them but I also need to keep clipped short because they’re still peeling pieces off and breaking a bit. I’ve got a broken one that’s a weird shape that is driving me bonkers.
I’m still seriously distracted right now by Shadowhunters. I can’t help it. I love this shit. It’s so cheesy, but it’s also so much fun.
And can I just for a moment, mention how much I love Luke Galloway? I loved him in the books, but I love him so much more on the show as played by Isaiah Mustafa, like so much more. Luke is a great character in the series, but Isaiah just makes him so much more. He plays this beautiful line between hard as nails and teddy bear soft, he’s like a rock for the people who need him to be their rock and then he’s this brilliant peacekeeper and just amazing. I seriously, seriously love him so very, very much. He’s so wonderful. No one else could’ve done for Luke what Isaiah is doing. I’m sad he doesn’t have a love story at the moment except for Jocelyn who's dead now. In the books, they had a nice story, but they killed her in the show—a choice I found really interesting. It’s not that everyone needs a romance, they absolutely don’t. And I’d love to see more characters be asexual and/or aromantic. However, we already know that Luke did have romantic feelings for Jocelyn. I could totally see him being asexual, actually, or like gray ace or demi-sexual or something along those lines, but that would—in my opinion—make it even more awesome for him to have a romantic relationship and TV show us a relationship that was romantic but not necessarily sexual. Mostly, I just want the show to give Luke good things, because he is amazing and he deserves nice things, okay???
...Okay, I’m going to attempt to get a few of the things on the to-do list done.
