two short thoughts

money can't buy happiness, but it can provide a solid distraction.
i ordered a PS5 today (after finding it was out of stock at Costco) so that i can play Jedi Survivor next weekend. i knew that we were going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade a system for it; i was hoping this was the excuse for a Steam deck but it's not supported at launch and i need to be Force-pulling fascists onto my lightsaber ASAP. the Xbox One still works fine and is our blu-ray player so i didn't really want to get another Xbox; we haven't had a PlayStation since the PS2 and it will be a chance to try the exclusives i missed in the intervening years.
this will be a big week for video games for![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ironymaidens. there's a major Cult of the Lamb update on Monday, so i spent all day today reacquainting myself with the game (i beat the game with People's Temple, and Qanon is leveled up to just before the final boss. my third cult, Scientology, was only a few days old before today.) i'll be culting in the evenings until it's time to be a Jedi on Friday.

C pointed out that we have a pretty successful track record of getting deep into video games when we need them. 2009 was an epically bad year for us; Rock Band kept us sane. i got C the Xbox One so that he could play the then-new Gears of War title when he got home from helping with his dad's cancer treatment. and i originally picked up Cult of the Lamb around the time when we got covid and it hosed my birthday and our Thanksgiving plans.

I Don't Wanna Dance with Nobody has been my earworm for months now.
and when the night falls / my squishmallow calls
after hearing it mentioned over and over (and touching one at ECCC to check the texture) i broke down and bought a squishmallow.* not being a child or a toy collector or a Tik-Tok user i previously had no idea what they were.
it's apparently the stim that i want right now. it arrived today and i just periodically pick it up and hug it. all the textures feel good and i am looking forward to holding it while i sleep. thanks band made of people born in the 90s with music that sounds like it's from the 80s.

as well as can be expected, really
Jun. 26th, 2021 04:06 pmoh lawd it's hot, we're sitting in the dark as still as possible. (no air conditioning, it's 98F right now and it will be hotter tomorrow and Monday. the last time it got this hot here was in 2009.) the dog is at daycare in the ac until later in the evening - they're not doing any afternoon walks today because they're worried about burning pupper feet on the hot sidewalk. i got a haircut this afternoon, and impulse-bought gelato for C and me on the way home. it was a race against time - with a cup of gelato in each hand, both melting and dripping like mad, me licking up what drips i could while walking home as fast as i could and trying not to get chocolate on my clothes.
fortunately there was someone in the elevator to punch buttons and C had the door propped open to the hall so it wasn't TOO hard to get home and shove the cups into the freezer before i washed my hands. i suspect there's gelato all over my keys and in my purse, but it was worth it. C had Theo chocolate and Hawaiian macadamia hazelnut, and i had lemon meringue pie and bourbon vanilla.
***
i haven't written for a while because i didn't want to write about my dead parent feelings. i was able to talk about a nice memory of Dad without getting upset while i was getting my hair cut today, so that was good and getting better, i think. (C tells me that he got surprise grief every so often for a few years, so i will just need to roll with that.) the memory was that before i was in school full time i used to go along with Dad when he got his hair cut - old school barbershop where you walk in and then hang out and shoot the shit until a chair is open for you. they always had comic books, and those are my first memories of reading comics.* all this spurred by my stylist's Barbicide jar which appears to be completely unchanged in the intervening years.
* * *
i spun a self-striping true three-ply yarn from two space dyed braids of BFL wool, which i was not really skilled enough to do and will probably not attempt again for a long time. it involves a lot of weighing and being extremely consistent...and ultimately being willing to break the plies and edit when things just aren't lining up. but it's done now and in the ball it is very much what i hoped, the kind of gradual transition between the color bands that you get in Noro but a three-ply. i probably should feature it in a sweater since it will wear hard, but i'm looking at some sideways shawls that i'm more likely to wear.
*and the ubiquitous Hostess ads which apparently dates me pretty exactly

May. 9th, 2021 07:48 pmLegendary is back. I still enjoy the heck out of it, looking forward to the rest of the season. The DJ, MC, and judging team all return, plus contestants from last year are assisting on choreography coaching.
It’s a bit off with no live audience. They haven’t made any mention of the pandemic or filming in a bubble, but three episodes, three Houses have a member who just had a loved one die. They don’t talk about the cause, but one assumes it’s covid and it’s chilling to think about.

now that US Thanksgiving has passed, it is time to soothe away the last of 2020 with Hallmark Christmas movies.*
there is a whole sub-genre of them set in some made-up tiny European country that really loves Christmas, which C has declared is Latveria. it pleases me to refer to each bland royal love interest as Doom (and his friend/close advisor as Doombot).
*only the main Hallmark Channel where it's G-rated romance with almost no conflict; tear-jerkers are from the Movies & Mysteries brand and not what i am looking for even in a good year

Mar. 25th, 2019 01:29 pmwhat are you currently consuming?
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Star Wars Rebels (rewatch)
CxG is in the endgame now, tying up loose threads and doing callbacks to previous songs and situations. it's excellent. i continue to be sad at my inability to find CxG fandom online.
one of my favorite hoodies is classic software swag, and i'm not feeling like representingMy Corporate Masters right now. since it's dark grey i've decided to embellish it to resemble Sabine's armor. so i have to watch Rebels. for research. (i already have a convor patch for the left shoulder thanks to mimerki and it looks like the same artist does the matching Spectre 5 for the right.)
what did you recently finish?
Nirvana in Fire (okay, that wasn't recent but it was since the last time i wrote one of these.)
it was great. i know everyone says that, but seriously it's excellent. i did hit what i think was a cultural wall at the end, and didn't find the final episode to be fully satisfying. but it couldn't retroactively ruin how well it was acted and directed, how beautiful, how well-designed, how it was somehow subtle and melodramatic at the same time. A++ have already done some rewatching with an alternate translation and have been dipping in and out of the fan translation of the novel.
what will you consume next?
more of Rebels, and then there are so many things that i "ought to" watch. i thought being unemployed would lead to bingeing tv and it turns out not so much.

Key & Peele. we didn't have Comedy Central during their original run, but i enjoyed the clips i saw online. last night i played an episode on a whim, and before i knew it we had watched 3 or 4. i love that each episode has a running theme. the sketches with President Obama in them are bittersweet; very on point, very funny, and a reminder of what it was like to have a smart and competent leader that i was generally proud to have representing me.*
also, the World Cup even though it makes me angry every time it's on.**
what did you recently finish?
well, i think i've finished watching Cloak and Dagger after three episodes. and if i wasn't sitting on the couch spinning, where it was more work to change the show than let it play, i don't know if i would have watched three. it's slooooooooooow. and this Tandy is straight-up horrible. asmimerki says, "I would watch the Tyrone show" but we're three episodes in and they're not actually together yet. (in the comics they are both runaways and are forced together by circumstance before they get their powers. this is reminding me of my other unfinished Marvel show, Runaways where i quit watching for similar reasons. i don't mind changes for tv and movies. i mind when those changes aren't entertaining.)
what will you consume next?
i am piling up unwatched superhero shows, but i suspect i'll go back to Brooklyn 99 first. i just don't have the emotional reserves for anything vaguely challenging in terms of threat or interpersonal conflict or world events. and at this rate i may never have it in me to watch The Handmaid's Tale.
*I miss him SO much.
**this is D's last World Cup, and the US isn't there. every time i think about that it pisses me off. to be clear, i'm not upset with any team who made it. they deserve to be there. i'm upset with US Soccer and certain entitled assholes on our national team who didn't take the Hex seriously.

sartorias also had to turn off anons due to Japanese Ea-Nasir fans. *puts on tinfoil hat* i wonder if she had the other pieces of the story?

i fell in love with Rat Queens on Hoopla, then got to Vol 4 and just felt kind of lost. like they never really wrapped up the story from Vol 3. so then i did some research to find out if i had missed some issues and apparently the artist co-creator had a domestic violence conviction and got kicked off the book...but that wasn't the point where the continuity felt messed up, it was the point where the awesome replacement artist left under not-so-friendly terms.

cleolinda did a big Star Wars rewatch. well worth the read both for the commentary and for the many links to relevant content. digging into it is time well spent.

Jul. 12th, 2015 11:28 amthis has a been a tough week. I'm okay, good people are not.
OMG i go camping soon!
Edited to add: the issue of Hawkeye told from the dog's POV. It's not a gimmick, it's the best way they could reveal information to the reader through the eyes of a character. I've reread it a few times because there's so much going on. Seriously a masterful use of the medium.
- Seafair is on. in Ballard, that means Seafood fest. i bought ginger-infused honey from a taciturn old white guy who was wearing a sweater with a hole in it and could barely interact enough to take my money. There's the combo dim sum/elephant ear stand. I had a locally made birch beer. I had a pickled herring sandwich. I nearly collapsed from ecstasy taking my first bite of deep fried bacon cinnamon roll. I finished it while watching awesome little girls do a skateboard slalom competition.
- apparently, once a year i facilitate
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mimerki's purchase of awesome shoes. If this is my superpower, i accept it. - Google sheep view
- touchstones. I was looking through my yarn stash to pick out a worsted weight for a project, and i had stories to tell for every scrap and skein. Gifts, souvenirs, milestones in learning to knit and spin. So many good memories and good people.
- Planet Earth is on Netflix. So amazing.

i generally stay away from the entertainment media cycle, but i do like to indulge in the NPR podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour. it's a bunch of smart people talking about movies and books and whatnot. i don't always agree with them, but they are entertaining and occasionally turn me onto something new.
my favorite bit is that they always wrap up with "Things that are making me happy this week".
...which is how i ended up watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. the linked review captures most of it, but might be misleading in that we are never laughing *at* Kimmy - we are laughing *with* her as she delights in subway rides and discovering how an automatic faucet sensor works. there's also a thread of profound rage underneath her efforts to win by living well. i don't think that the later episodes work as well as the early ones, but i do think that they're set up well for the second season.
it was exactly the thing i needed at the moment i needed it.* the earworm theme song has become a bit of a mantra for me.

i relocated to a new desk at work. so far, it's good. i get more sun, i'm beside a whiteboard, people can get to me easily, but i'm not on the highway to a popular meeting room. i'm surrounded by developers, who are mostly quiet and focused - unless you want to know Cheryl's birthday. logic problem is to programmer as cardboard box is to cat.

Norwescon was restorative and good. we decided to take it easy and enjoy being away from home. i went to a lot of science panels, and we spent Saturday night lolling in the hotel room eating room service and watching soccer on tv. i bid on and won a piece from the artist guest of honor. i knit 2/3 of a sock.

i've seen three episodes of Daredevil so far. i'm pleased. it's kind of odd to be going to the television format for more realistic violence, but okay. (i love that i watched a blood-spattered superhero show with a bunch of women while knitting and eating vegetarian stew over polenta.)
***
i finally got to make up a cancelled happy hour date withscarlettina. C and i spent nerd night out with samildanach and joyful_storm. i helped knitta P find a graceful way to end her shawl with the yarn she had left. my Exalted character assassinated someone. we're officially debt-free (again). C landed a long-term game writing contract and got to tell his technical editing gig to fuck off. i made mimerki watch all of Raising Arizona. i got buhrger hugs and played games. there are a bunch of other plans in the works.
April. i don't want to jinx anything, but it's looking better.
*and i watched the first episode on my phone while stuck on the bus home during the fish truck trafficpocalypse because i live in the future.

[30 days of books] the freak
Apr. 12th, 2011 05:21 pm1. A fictional character you identify with and why
my strong associations here are all from my tween and teen years, and they're all about the girl who doesn't fit in and then finds a place where she belongs. (it's interesting to me that i don't have a character that i identify with "now". i don't read books that feature happily married ladies in their thirties...or maybe i'm too inflexible now to identify with someone who isn't closer to my age/gender presentation, etc.)
i had turned down an offer to skip 5th grade. it was in the fall of my 6th grade year that i found myself taking reading class all alone and slowly realizing that i might have made a mistake. i read Dragonsong that fall, and there was Menolly.

- youngest child
- father: well-respected, taciturn
- mother: trying to enforce social norms "for her own good"
- older sister: little in common
- older brother: good relationship, but busy having a life
- tall and tomboyish
- talented
- living in a rural community where she doesn't fit in and her talent has low value
- being herself in spite of the consequences
the magic of the story wasn't that she found a bunch of fire lizards, but that she discovered that the rest of the world was not like the place she was born. at the time i had no confirmation that was true, but i started to dream.
