So I have to make another one of these posts. *lights cig*
I'm kind of late, but I've been busy. And so, so tired. Not because of depression. I just keep fucking up my sleep schedule.

Past

  • I finished Final Fantasy IV (DS) on the 9th, and The Legend of Zelda on the 15th.

    • I wrote an entry about FFIV; still deciding if I should make it public because I fear it's pretty rambly and useless. I did end up liking the game though! Despite it all!

    • I started Zelda a few hours later, and beat it just under a week later. It took me that long because I was busy packing and thinking about packing though. It probably actually only took me a few hours. Thing is, I played it on Nintendo Switch Online and I rewound time after 96% of the hits I took. I wonder if this is like... moral...? In the video game world. I imagine many would say that I cheated big-time and ruined my own enjoyment, but I dunno, because I did enjoy it. And when I played the game all that time ago without cheating I didn't have so much fun. Even save state abuse didn't amuse me as much as going back in time 2 seconds every 3 seconds for those final dungeons. I guess it's just a little embarrassing to say to the public that I couldn't beat the game honestly, but it's true. Well, it's not like I've never played any other Zelda. I beat those without cheating, and that's enough.


  • On the 19th I moved to Louisiana, and that same night I went out to a daiquiri place, and then to the club, and then the next day we went to a seafood place, and then on Sunday we went to a lounge. All of those were firsts for me except the seafood place (and living in Louisiana). I kind of felt like an adult 💯

  • I didn't watch Naruto all month *dies horribly*

  • I ended up not doing Small Web September. I was actually busy for real and not just in my head for once, so I'm not mad at myself for this.



Present

  • I'm Working On Stuff but I won't say what Stuff is until I'm done with it. I don't want to accidentally give myself a dopamine hit now and then lose the desire to finish. I also don't want to disappoint anyone when I inevitably don't finish it regardless.

  • Despite everything, I still have not dropped out.

  • I'm kind of playing Suikoden, but I really shouldn't be because I'm supposed to be playing Haruka 2. Thing is when I'm at my desk I'm too busy with other stuff to play that, but when I'm in bed trying to go to sleep my 3DS is right there like oooooo you wanna play me sooooo bad. Lately I've been into Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, but I play Suikoden when I've played all the songs I want to but I'm not sleepy yet. (The 3DS can run Playstation games but not Playstation 2 games, so I cannot play Haruka 2 on it, you see.) Finishing any game would be good though. I can cross something out the queue even if I've messed up the order.



Future

  • I'll probably have a job in a few weeks. Please don't be Walmart.

  • It would be nice if I could finish even one of the 3-5 things I'm working on :) The way you meet new people online is through creation, I think, so I have to create something.

  • I will be taking a nap right after I post this! Good night!

tyger: A small ginger cat in a wicker bag (Sushi - bag)

Slept in today, which was glorious, particularly after how stupid late I was up yesterday. (Still up later than I planned, but hey, it's an improvement!)

Mucked out the chook coop, did some weeding, and ironed down the seams I made yesterday. Most of the day, however, I was finishing off that fic I was reading last night. It was a long one! (And it's unfinished, which is always disappointing.) But now I am free of it and I am going to pass the fuck out.

...of course, now is when Sushi decides to jump up into my lap and snuggle, which he hasn't done for a while, because. Of course it's now. Of course.

This explains so much of my family

I spent four days hyperfocused on learning how to art on Procreste, the art program that's available on the iPad.

I can see a very obvious progression of ability and skill in the nine pieces of art I did, and this explains my family. They'd hyperfocus on something and five days later they're really good at it and ready to move on.

It explains a few of my things as well.

Still. Nine pieces of art. Eight of them were gifts to people, one was my DR character.

Definitely going to ease up on it now.

Thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts, sharing experiences with international medical situations, and translation help! The hospital says CB can be discharged this weekend, yay! His facial paralysis has gotten a little worse in the past few days, though the doctors say this can happen. Right now we're trying to figure out how to get him home. Our travel insurance seemed like they might help, but now it sounds like nothing is covered, and the other private air ambulance service wants him to have a hospital bed ready back in California, but that is also proving difficult to get. From what the doctor said yesterday, he is probably okay to fly commercially but would need a medical escort, so we are figuring out how to get that arranged. Fingers crossed...

Knock on the Door for Fic or Treat!

Last 3 Things Part II

Last 3 TV shows I watched:


•9-1-1 Lone Star Series Finale: Finally, a lovely happy ending! This last season was not my favorite, but I liked how they tied everything together at the end. Except for Grace & Judd, I was sad we didn't at least get to see her again.

•Doctor Odyssey Finale: Boo! How could they break up my OT3 like that! After all of the really fun and really progressive relationship explorations this season, I thought they did Tristan dirty at the end :( But at least they ended with the three of them on the pool deck together.

•Surreal Estate 2.02: Hilarious and fun and spooky too. The season 2 premiere didn't grab me but this episode had a bunch of heart and I'm re-invested :D

Next 3 TV shows I want to (re)watch:


•Surreal Estate Season 2
•Umbrella Academy final season
•A rewatch for a fic exchange

Last 3 albums I listened to:


Greetings from Your Hometown by Jonas Brothers ♥ Many new bangers that I love. Backwards is my current favorite.

Man's Best Friend by Sabrina Carpenter. The sarcasm about men being shit but still expecting the sexiest girls - such scathing and deserved commentary. Especially the track Tears!. No one is really doing it like her. Although I think I like the previous album better.

Gold Star Baby by The Aces. A disco album! A lot of the lyrics make me laugh, too. Favorite track is Spending the Night.

Next 3 albums I want to listen to:


• Demi Lovato's new album It's Not That Deep comes out October 24!
• 5 Seconds of Summer's new album Everyone's a Star! comes out November 14!
• Conan Gray?? I loved his performance of Vodka Cranberry so I should listen to his other stuff.

I'm a little past halfway, and golly, it's so great to be back with witch king Kaiisteron and his found family of extremely powerful misfits as they try to figure out whether Something Bad is happening at the edges of the map.

The family vibe is ramping up, in fact. At one point their little street urchin, Sanja, wants reassurance that if she goes off to play with some children in the household of an ally that they are visiting, the grownup members of the group won't leave her there (where she'd be safe) while she's distracted. Kai tells her with affable sarcasm that it would be very bad manners to abandon his children to their hosts.

Pulp at Red Rocks

I've come here to DW quite a few times since I last wrote, but I always end up closing the tab because I get terrible (journal) writer's block. I get overwhelmed, and don't know what to write/where to start...

I'll start in Colorado!

I got to see Pulp perform at Red Rocks! It was amazing! It rained for about 75% of the show, so that was interesting (I'd never been to an outdoor show where it rained!)... But I had a blast! The band was tight, the sound was incredible, people were dancing (even me)!

The cold and rain were the only downside... Oh yeah, and the stairs! Oh my gosh, the stairs! So many damn steps! I was huffing and puffing by the time I got to my seat. And then there was the walk back to the car, which was ever harder! Time for me to get in shape...

Here are some photos from that night:
