I am wearing long sleeves for the first time this fall! \o/ Granted, it is evening, and my long sleeves are over the sleeveless I wore all day, and it is mostly because the air-conditioning in this cafe is a little too strong, but still. I am absolutely crediting it to the month of October.

I am assuming you're asking which cafe I am sitting at, because naturally. It is the cafe next to my new apartment :D Which is still an utter mess, but today I decided that fuck it, I will sleep in that place even if it looks like hell. It's been a really, really long day at work -- everything decided to crash, and it feels like we have to get a ton of stuff done before the holiday, which is stupid because Yom Kippur is on a weekend so really this is just a regular weekend! But everyone's panicking. ANYWAY I ended up leaving work at 21:50 (/o\), and since I haven't stocked the apartment with any food yet, I would have had no dinner, and LO, a few streets from my quiet neighborhood place there is a cafe! So I decided to check it out. It is called Neighbouts Cafe, and as I walked in I had three questions: 1. Is the kitchen still open? 2. Do you serve actual food? and 3. Do you have wifi? The answer to all three was yes, and I like this place so much! It is a dairy only place (=veggie for the rest of you guys) and after I ordered they served me grape leaf rolls with tziziki because, I don't know, just because. Their salad was a combo of all these strange earthy-fruity vegetable-fruit-nut mix and it was excellent, as was the (veggie, idk) Shepherd's Pie, AS IS the iced coffee that I am still sipping. In short: I am pleased with this cafe and enjoy knowing that I am living in its proximity and would like to invite all of you to it (and to my many fold-out couches which I apparently have!).

Last night I was feeling antsy and wanted to draw something using our new iPad drawing app I mentioned, which I wanted to practice on, and isweedan prompted me with "characters in space", and so:

Killjoys in Space!



I still have much to learn, but I am generally pleased :-) Another thing I am generally SO MUCH MORE THAN GENRALLY pleased about is that ever since the beginning of the Jewish new year not one week ago, there have been TWO Bandom kidfic not!fics posted \o/! I would like to declare 5772 the Year of Kidfic and hope that this trend continues for a long long time *__*. Meanwhile here are the two super adorable fluffy not!fics of happiness:

The one where Mr. Brendon teaches Spencer's niece by reni_days (Spencer/Brendon, probably 2-3k?)

The one where single dad!Brendon is Spencer's PA which starts off as an office AU and ends up so much more <333 by sunsetmog, hermette and pennyplainknits (Brendon/Spencer, 11lk, PG-13/R)

Okay. I am now officially way too tired to actually clean apartment tonight as planned. So I will: (a) stick around the cafe for a while longer since I don't know if the apartment will have wifi, (b) crash into bed, hopefully managing to clear it of all the crap I stored on it for now before hand, (c) try to clean the place as much as I can tomorrow morning, before (d) driving back to my parents' by 15:00 at most, because it'll be Yom Kippur eve and people don't drive starting from around aftenoonish. I don't think I'll be going to services tomorrow afternoon; honestly, I just don't feel like the hour-long walk. But idk, we'll see. In case I don't get to say it before then -- G'mar Hatima Tova <3
