a tale of two days

Yesterday slipped through my fingers. At around 6:30 pm I realized I'd done barely anything all day. I made only the smallest sliver of progress on work. I didn't draw anything, I didn't read any Latchkey, I didn't play any Genshin Impact. Most of the day was sucked up by random Internet scrolling—l...

vgmc5 impact

Had a good day. In the morning, watched worlds with HGR. We got to see TSM fail spectacularly to get out of the group stage. They went 0-6 in their group, with a picture perfect ending: in their final game, they were all in the Baron pit (they finally got Baron!!) while the enemy team was quietly st...

officer M

Doing some light midnight reading about a cop who applied for, and was denied, a disability pension on grounds that he was mentally unfit for duty. Dr. ___ also noted in his report that during the interview Officer M expressed a deep hatred for African-Americans, whom he referred to throughout the...

white stone variety pack

September 26 – Lately, my roommate has been waking up around midnight and making breakfast. Which is fine, you do you. But it makes me hungry. Garlic frying in the pan! Crispy chicken strips right out of the oven! I'm not supposed to be eating at this time of night, dammit. October 1 – I feel like...

wakeup call

Got woken up at 9:30 am by the fire alarm going off. Ever since quarantine began, we've been getting intermittent fire alarms, and it's invariably nothing, but still, gotta take every fire alarm seriously. It's what Gideon would do. Besides, I really shouldn't be sleeping in this late on workdays. I...

the most festive fog (and a side hustle)

Dante got level 9 festive fog in Hades. newbie was quick to point out that it wasn't the highest dps option due to diminishing returns, but come on, how often do you get the chance for a level 9 boon? Dante had to take it. No regrets. He beat the run without using a single Death Defiance. Also, th...

mid-september resolutions

(because we can't let the new year hog all the resolutions) 1. Go outside every day. Every evening, my phone faithfully gives me a notification about the next day's weather, which I appreciate. I like the implication that this is relevant news for me. Back in March I'd take a balcony walk ever...

a foolish dreamer

"Call me naive," said numbers, "a foolish dreamer, but I really thought we were going to start raid within half an hour of our scheduled time." Everyone except Kan had checked in by 1:03, and Kan was active on discord, so numbers pinged him: "Kanzaris, you around too?" Kan did not respond and, sho...

birthday!

Happy birthday to me! (yesterday) No office party this year; oh well. Honestly I prefer other people's birthday parties to my own. I'm not the center of attention but still get cake. My roommate said he'd make me dinner for my birthday. Then he fell asleep. By 8 pm, he still hadn't woken up and ...

these mortals are (not) so easily bested

After a month-long hiatus, we're back to raiding! We had a variety of issues that kept us from meeting for the past month (Silver oversleeping, Silver having finals, Kan's computer issues and my internet outages, and Silver oversleeping). HGR was logged off for so long that leadership of the free co...

work-burger balance

9/3 It's common wisdom that one of the difficulties with working from home is maintaining proper work-life balance. I normally have no trouble with this. But last night at 1 am, after our Terraria session concluded, I found myself working on my latest project. I didn't plan to do any work; I just k...
