Been thinking about facial memory lately. This is the third time I’ve seen Kyle in person, and the second time I’ve seen Jasmine. I went in thinking I should try and remember what these people’s faces look like. I don’t think it stuck. If I saw them at work, I would recognize them by general body sh...
21. Burned to death by a bunch of bloats on floor 4. They were blocking the only way forward, and I had no range; when I went in to melee, they released flammable gas that was ignited by the nearby lava. Wonder if I could’ve run past them all. Bosses defeated: Big Jack (floor 3). Also, I defeat...
Rolled for the first time this year! (The last time was December 30.) It was just supposed to be a wrap-up day to get my affairs in order, but now I’m remembering all the reasons I would want to keep rolling, as well as all the reasons I stopped. Reasons to roll:The Center of the Universe squad is h...
Did the laundry, folded and put everything away, and only at the end did I realize…I have no memory of adding detergent. In retrospect, I’m pretty sure I forgot to add any. Well…surely the water still helped, right? The lint screen was full of crud. It’s fine. (Probably. Hopefully.) I’ll use deterg...
Most of Solution Nine is impeccably cool, but the Nexus Arcade is literally just a big Verizon store. Yeah, I said it. It’s savage time! We started a week late, because half of us were away for the first weekend. Kan cleared the tier before our first session. On the plus side, we’re ahead of ggg (t...
It’s wild that dream shards may be the limiting factor for my growth in Pokemon Sleep, after a full year of them being abundant to the point of irrelevance. The issue is that shard cost rises dramatically with pokemon level. For instance, using 300 candy on my Slowpoke (level 13) would take 23k shar...
We still don’t know what this mystery illness is. Could be covid, could be something else. My own theory was that it’s a pathogen that has been frozen in glacial ice since time immemorial and has only now been released due to global warming. Roommate’s theory was that it’s the bubonic plague. I coul...
Yesterday before roommate's weekend d&d session I gave him a cough drop, and he set it down on the table and did not eat it, and coughed all through the session. Today I learned he DOESN’T KNOW HOW COUGH DROPS WORK!! He was like “Well, you didn’t give me a drink. It’s like a pill, right?” So I ...
Ignoring roommate’s constant advice to “mask up or cask up,” I spent most of the Iceland trip maskless, and then fell sick upon returning home. oops!!! Sunday afternoon I had a mild sore throat. By Tuesday it had progressed to a moderate sore throat with fits of dry coughing, runny nose, mild flu-li...
Back home. Walked in the door Saturday night at around 11:45 pm and immediately started bagging trash left on the counters (so many empty pasta boxes and 7up bottles…). Gathered up three full bags of trash, not counting the already-full kitchen trash, and wiped down the kitchen countertops. Is it we...
We started the day with a long walk along the volcanic cliffs in the company of 5000 screaming seagulls. Green and gold and black and white—Coigreach colors, or maybe Natron colors if you factor in the blue of the water and pretend it’s way warmer. As we paused to enjoy the view, F told us that ther...
There WAS horse for breakfast! (Though without the hot dog condiments.) I tried a piece. It was basically like roast beef, but a tad stringy. It was a cold, miserable, rainy day, so it's just as well it was a long travel day. The roads are so bad and the bus so bumpy that my Fitbit keeps thinking I'...
