And It Was A Thirteenth

crossover_chickMostly because there was another problem with the GL -- fortunately one that could be fixed via calling someone and getting them to adjust some things, but that was a frustrating chunk of my morning! Rest of the day tended to be all about trying to take care of numerous other small problems too. . .at least I managed to get most of what I wanted to get done, done. So that was something.
Afternoon, at least, was all right:
-->Got in a walk outside! O.o Yeah, it actually got up into the low 70s, and it was nice and sunny, so it was a good day to get out. Did both my lunch walk and the after-work one, so I'm feeling good. :)
-->Fussed around with my descriptions for Victor's various Otherland domains -- I got a little sidetracked trying to decide how to update my various documents on the matter, and then rereading old tumblr posts where I'd changed things to see what I needed to update in said documents. . .not the most productive night, writing-wise. But I have some basic descriptors down now, and I'm hoping I can consolidate my notes in the near future. And then maybe get started on this "Victor and Alice in Victor's Otherland" story that I now need to write. I have some basic ideas, but I'm trying to get a little more solid background before I dive in so I don't contradict myself.
-->Watched:
A) Another "el Cheapo Lone Ranger cartoon" Fun With Shorts, this one about a villain called Bear Claw -- who, uh, spent more time throwing rocks and releasing bobcats on people than using his bear claw gloves to slice people up. Pretty lame one, even for this series -- but Josh had some excellent riffs, so that makes it all better. :p
B) The house renovation James was able to do in "Rags To Riches Island Edition" -- it's looking good, but it's not QUITE done as James ran out of money before he could furnish all the rooms. (mostly because he was buying columns to make faux windows again :p) So it looks like we're getting at least one more episode where he sells a bunch of stuff currently sitting in the household inventory to fund finishing up the last bits and pieces, so we can send this family out on a high note. And then send Column out into the world to become a Spellcaster. . .
C) Two GrayStillPlays videos -- his first episode of Imagine Lifetimes (the first time, he majored in and died of smoking in college, plus played the world's most depressing "fertilizing an egg" multiple-choice mini-game XD), and a new Sims 4 death challenge -- namely, building a mansion with a giant pool, and then forcing his sims to swim constantly in thunderstorms to see if he could get a "struck by lightning in the pool" death, as apparently that's super rare (he managed it! Plus a bunch of other lightning deaths. . .and a starvation death, which was weird as he provided a grill and there was food EVERYWHERE. O.o But funny too. XD). I'm growing to quite like this guy. XD
-->Got my Valice Multiverse and Victor Luvs Alice queues sorted for tomorrow, hooray. Feels a bit weird to be featuring an Eddie Money song right after the poor guy's died (he passed away earlier today), but maybe it counts as a sort of tribute? I do really like the song I chose, and now associate it with my OTP (or part of my OT4 in this case). . .
And now I have to answer some comments and jump into the Friday Night Writing Thing, so I'd better get on that. Plan for tomorrow: clean my room, play Bloodlines, watch some Bloodlines 2-related videos I have in my queue, work on the Londerland Bloodlines document. I feel this is reasonable for a Saturday. We'll see how it goes! Night all!
