Blood for the Blood God!

sorcyressAnyways, I'm having a splendid day!
I managed to get through work mostly well, and then it was off to Science Park to meet up with Alexander and drag them around to the blood donation center at MGH. I enjoy having friends who are similar enough brained to me to totally get me saying "yeah, there's definitely a more efficient path to the blood donation center, but we are going to go the very long way around because that's the way I _know_".
I'm always happy to drag more new people to give BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD. They went through the system much faster than I did, which is unsurprising --I basically always get to have bonus conversation with the investigative nurses who are Very Concerned that I checked the "heart problems" box. I've gotten pretty fucking irreverent about the whole thing, but I think mostly in a charming way. "Oh, you have to get down the binder! Yes, I believe it says patent ductus arteriosis is like the only heart thing that *doesn't* make one ineligible". It's amazing they don't kick me out for being insufferable, but it turns out they do really want my blood.
Anyways, we gave blood mostly asynchronously, but they very kindly hung around and waited until I had eaten enough snax for us to go home and Hang Out. Playing "I dunno, what do YOU want to do?" resulted in rifling through my stack of DVDs and then an extremely excitable moment of OH, how do you feel about horror movies? What about musicals? What about Christmas movies?
It's been a goodly chunk of time since I've watched Anna and the Apocalypse, is what I'm saying, and I'm pleased to have managed to do so with someone who could enjoy it in all its ridiculous genre-defying glory.
The rest of my weekend also seems like it is going to go Very Well. Tomorrow I am going to the MFA with my friend Apollo. I was sad because my dance-brother emailed to be all "I'm hosting a board game day very close to your house" with a start time pretty much exactly when Apollo and I are supposed to get to the museum. When I expressed the sad at Stephen, he pointed out that board games are gonna keep going until like one AM, so yeah, I will be going directly from one to the other.
And then Sunday you would expect me to try and get some grading done, and I probably will try? But there's secret English Dance calling practice in the morning (er, not practice for me, although I am reminded of the secret plan I was joking about in which I learn how to call other things so they invite me back to call ESCape sooner) and BIDA in the evening. Hm. HM.
The grades are due on Monday, and unfortunately this is not the end of the year, just last progress reports, so I do need to catch up and I also won't get an amnesty after. Ah well.
I hope your life is treating you kindly.
