hybrid life

Still enjoying hybrid life. Wednesday there was a minor transportation snafu. As I neared the platform at 7:30, I saw the train pulling out of the station. (That’s not supposed to happen. I take the 7:37.) Ten minutes later, I saw another train approaching the station. Ah, I thought, who knows what ...

back to the garden house

Visiting parents for the weekend. It’s been nearly a full year since I came here as a refugee in the dead of night after the apartment fire. Now I have a sweet condo in a much better neighborhood, and my parents’ house is back to being an occasional vacation spot. Life is good. On Saturday night, Mo...

demigod double

Last week, we made it to Hesperos 2 again—another down-to-the-wire finish. “Imagine being a sexy vampire and you turn into this,” said newbie. “Is it really so sexy?” Dante said. “It's a treatise on what people will do for power,” said numbers. Then newbie and numbers got into a debate about whether...

paranoia and unreality

My phone has stopped ringing for calls. Instead it just purrs at me. It’s very annoying; I’m worried that I’ll miss an important work call because of it. I don’t know what the problem is. I double-checked all the settings. It’s set to ring and not vibrate. The ring volume is set to high (when I tap ...

NOT assailed by heat

Woke up at 6:40 am (five minutes before my alarm) and saw a text from my boss saying not to come into the office because of the excessive heat. FLOPS I went back to bed and conked out for two more hours. Life is good. * * * Pros to home life: So well rested! Cons to home life: Microwaving ramen in p...

assailed by heat

Imagine leaving the house to go downtown two days in a row. What a life of luxury(?). My roommate doesn’t think so. He doesn’t want to go downtown one day in a row. But he had a follow-up appointment scheduled today. The timing is unfortunate because there’s a heat wave. My phone and desktop keep se...

the same end, again and again

lmao we didn’t beat Hesperos I on Sunday so we just went home, we’re so bad at this I was discussing this possibility with HGR before raid. He was like “It’s been so long, we’ll have forgotten everything.” And I was like “No way, we’re experts at this game.” We are not experts at this game. We kept ...

another day in the office

Once again, it’s just me and the security desk guy on this floor. It’s a ratio of 1:1. I feel very secure. Sometimes one of the patrolling guards stops by the security desk to chat, and then it’s 2:1. You won’t find better security than this anywhere. I’m quite sleepy. There’s a post-it note diagram...

badgergate

On May 6, Wolvden released the long-awaited badger base, a muted medium III base with a craftable app. This was teased several months earlier in an update poll, so people had farmed plenty of badger trophies, but the recipe was in high demand. A previously unknown user named White Wiccan claimed to ...

a tragedy unfolds within the halls of asphodelos

Here’s the tragedy: After we beat Hesperos I, we paused for a bathroom/drink break, and newbie was afk for 10 minutes and got kicked from the instance. So when he returned a minute later, we had to redo Hesperos I. You hate to see it. On the plus side, my parse is improving. I don’t feel like I’m do...
