Suddenly Super Tired
Sep. 12th, 2019 11:13 pmUnsure why, other than "I probably never really get enough sleep," but allow me to keep things to bullet points as a result:
-->Busy day at work with the follow-up meeting regarding online giving stuff (went well), researching things (have to report my findings tomorrow), and just generally trying to keep on top of e-mails (pretty much did). Still, glad tomorrow's Friday!
-->Also glad I got to go home a bit early today -- Mom needed the car to see her friend, so I burned a personal hour so she could pick me up at 3:30. Nice to get home at a decent time after the miserable traffic we've been having 4:30. . .also nice to get home and get into warmer clothes! I dressed kind of summery this morning as it was still kinda warm and sticky, but it got cool and rainy REAL fast. Tomorrow's supposed to be kind of grey, but a little warmer -- still definitely pants weather though. At least next week is supposed to warm up again for a while?
-->The bit of extra time allowed me to fit in a few more videos around supper, including:
A) Two onlyabidong videos, one a parody of the "I left the Sims running all night and this is what happened!" trend going around YouTube (his was "I left the Sims PAUSED all night and this is what happened" -- namely, nothing), the other how one plays as a dolphin in Island Living (basically you use cheats to set the dolphin as your head. . .which results in a GIANT DOLPHIN covering your Sim because what is scale???)
B) A quick video about mods to fix Realm of Magic bugs (like Zero's "don't turn people into Spellcasters" mod, and another that fixes the "potions sell for $0" bug -- just wanted to know what was out there)
C) Two Call Me Kevin videos -- one about Jim Pickens's adventures in becoming a Spellcaster (Kevin didn't immediately realize Jim had to stop being a mermaid first, but once he got him back to baseline. . .well, Jim is already making everyone in Magic HQ miserable with his new spells and some of my enthusiasm for this pack has returned XD), and one about him just faffing about and annoying people in a Garry's Mod Harry Potter RP server (you know a video's gonna be good when he insists on telling the first people he meets he's new over and over again XD And then trying to insist someone in the woods take him hostage XD and then he can't figure out how to sit down -- and in escaping detention, somehow warps to where the House Cup is kept XDDD)
D) A GrayStillPlays video about a game called Imagine Lifetimes where you play a life from birth to death -- and you can make some hilariously awful choices. Like taking up drinking as a hobby, then getting so into it you somehow change all the possibilities for you to major in college to drinking, and then you die. XD Or you repeatedly cheat on your spouse and have to rely on games of chance as to whether you'll get caught or not. XD It's pretty damn funny and I've got the other episode he did (technically the first one) in the queue now for later.
E) The latest Atop the Fourth Wall -- another issue of "Trouble," the awful romance comic Spider-Man "prequel" about how Peter's aunt and uncle and mom and dad met as horny teenagers at a summer job, how May ended up sleeping with both Ben and Richie (Peter's FATHER) and got pregnant and YES the idea is supposed to be that she's pregnant with Peter himself and I don't blame Linkara for wanting to throw the comic across the room. Especially with how it handled May's struggles with being pregnant and considering abortion. . . Ugh. At least I'm pretty sure the's only one more comic to go once he comes back to it, sooo. . .
-->Got another chunk of "Secundus 2" done -- brought back in the Grasshopper Teapot as Doc's train catches up with Barkis's. Just for now, it looks like everything's going well. . .but that's going to change in the very near future. I want a proper train chase, damn it, and I am damn well writing one.
-->Got in some exercise and made my muffins on the "functional adult" end of the scale. :p Hey, having breakfast and keeping fit are important!
-->Got my Valice Multiverse queue done and cleared out my inbox, go me.
So yeah, that's my day in a nutshell. Time to head to bed and prep for Friday the Thirteenth! Hopefully it shall not live up to its reputation. . .either way, it's a Friday, and that'll be nice. Weekend is looking vampy with a return to Bloodlines on Saturday -- left off right before doing the Venus quests, right? *checks notes* Yeah, because I recently finished up the plaguebearer stuff. . . So that'll be fun. Let's kill us some Russian mafiosos and steal their shit. XD But only after we get through tomorrow. Night all!
