suplexing an evil wizard

I slept poorly last night. I went to bed at around 12:50 am, late for an office night but an hour earlier than usual. It took me forever to fall asleep. Then I woke at 4 am to use the restroom and it took me forever to fall back asleep. Then I had a dream about being late to the weekly meeting. It w...

avoidance strats

Sometimes I avoid a task forever and then it takes like five minutes and I’m like “wow, what was all the fuss about?” Sadly, this is not one of those times. I’m avoiding my current project because I know it’s going to be obnoxious and take forever. I had a stress dream about it Saturday night. In th...

bb jet lag

As usual, I didn’t sleep that well at brother’s house. For one thing, they keep their house very warm, which is nice and cozy during the day, but I like to have something covering me when I sleep and it gets too hot. Additionally, my sleeping spot is the living room couch. I’m fine sleeping on the c...

frolic and detour

We are so free and easy without raid that I’m spending a random weekend with family. Mom and Dad picked me up Friday afternoon. We spent the weekend at brother’s house, then drove down to parents' house on Sunday (and I got a haircut). I’m working remote on Monday and will return home in the evening...

meal_planning.txt

Finally a curry/stew Snorlax! This is the first one since I laid out my meal plans in late January (and I’ve already adjusted the plan from mushroom chowder to mushroom curry). Now, just like Claude, I’ve gotta clean up my context and update my files. Italicized pokemon are in the zone “normally”; b...

consumer confidence index

Consumer confidence in Walmart is at an all-time low. I’m the consumer. Delivery has been reliable over the past couple years, but in the last month it’s suddenly become sketch. It started in early February when I got a few bags of groceries I didn’t order. Someone else’s turkey burgers and Lean Cu...

meisnewbie, linchpin of society

I am unmoored from time and space, drifting through the void. Most of my usual weekly landmarks are gone: No raid last weekend because Dante was away. No team meeting this week and we’re working full remote. You’d think this would be good because it gives me back so much time. I save three hours fro...

new fitbit

My Fitbit has been on the way out since last Labor Day, when the connection between the band and the watch face broke. I could temporarily fix it by jamming it back together, but any pressure on the band could cause it to pop back off, e.g., putting on a coat, opening a door while wearing a coat (th...

parallel play and banescales

HGR has been giving me flak for joining the Serious Combat & Raids Valheim server when I’m not into Serious Combat & Raids. I just wanted to play with my friends!! Even if it is mostly toddler-style parallel play. Look, the reason we have so much boar meat for our turnip stew is that I’ve be...

the bonemass war

newbie and HGR have reached Bonemass, the boss of the swamp. Apparently, in the newbie/numbers world, they just kinda walked up and killed him, no sweat. It doesn’t work that way on Very Hard. Thursday night I watched newbie and HGR progging the fight for about 40 minutes. I say “progging” but on HG...

you don't feel well rested anymore

“Yo, what if you had an air dash in Valheim?” said HGR. “I think that would make the combat way better.” “What the fuck???” said newbie. Still mostly blobbing around in Valheim. It’s a chill experience roaming the meadows, hunting deer and boars, with HGR and newbie’s adventures providing backgrou...

valheim

For the past year, newbie and numbers have been playing Valheim on-and-off. I’ve been loosely following their adventures. There was The Boat Incident, where they were returning from an expedition on their raft at night and got ambushed by a serpent. There was the time they spent an hour+ following t...
