Chillier But Still Decent Wednesday

crossover_chickOnly the lunchtime walk today, since it was a) only mid 50s today and b) I am on my period, so -- motivation isn't as high as it could be. Allowing myself a little extra time to sit down and stuff. *nods* I still got some exercise, and that's the main thing!
Work was okay today -- fewer phone calls to deal with, so that was something. More on the e-mail front, though -- going back and forth with our processing center over a few things, and working out the latest round of pledge billings. Always something. . .but it's better than being completely stressed out over a mailing gone bad! Just hoping tomorrow stays the course there.
Evening's been pretty good for the most part:
-->Got my Victor Luvs Alice queue set for the next few days over the course of the evening! A few quick reblogs before supper, a few others after. . .it's all come together straight through the beginning of Sunday! :) Nice feeling to have it all in place. :)
-->Wrote some more on "Londerland Bloodlines" -- Alice is into Malcolm's e-mails, where she shall learn about the affair -- I intend for another, non-canon one to come in to alert her to where the werewolf blood is, but not before she gets a look at the patient list. Because, well, she needs to know at least SOME of Victor's name before she meets him. :P
-->Watched a trio of Call Me Kevin videos:
A) Kevin plays a killer roomba (or possibly, by the name of the game, roombo) defending its house from burglars while its family isn't at home! It's an adorably hilarious game, as your roomba is the cutest, cartooniest thing -- but it can hack ceiling fans to fall on the burglars, or windows to explode on them, or fireplaces to SHOOT FIRE at them. And it powers up on BLOOD for ramming attacks. So yeah, one of THOSE. XD I love it, and Kevin did too (no surprise there).
B) Kevin makes a music video with the help of random people on Fiverr! A cover of a Post Malone song, to be precise (don't ask me which one, I could not tell you the name -- don't know his music well enough). Kevin got one guy to do the rapping, then a girl to lip-sync said rapping, then hired another girl to do some dancing to his own singing of the main lyrics, then got someone to mix it all together, then got someone else to edit together all the footage and splice in his own ridiculous stuff. The end result was -- well, it's something to behold. XD Definitely a high bar to top!
C) Kevin plays his favorite multiplayer shooters -- only with a mod where, if he presses keys on his keyboard, they fall onto and gradually cover his entire screen. And since movement and opening menus in these games are all linked to the keyboard. . . He actually pulled off some nice kills in the early game for both, but as the letters piled up. . .well, it went as expected. XD He did his best, poor Kevo!
-->Watched LEGO Masters, which was delayed by Trump giving an address on the coronavirus situation (ugh. . .though my family has stocked up on food and such, just in case something happens. Only five cases in my state so far, but we're all trying to be cautious.) Episode worth waiting for, though, as -- well. I encourage you all to watch it, because COOL THINGS happened this episode. :D It was frankly amazing, and proof of how powerful and amazing LEGO can be.
However, I have to say, I REALLY think the wrong team got the golden brick. While both of the top bridges were amazing, Tyler and Amy's was definitely the better one in my eyes. THEY should have gotten that brick. Hmph.
-->And then the rest of my night has been spent playing catch-up and finishing up queues and whatnot. Time to answer what's in the inbox and head to bed. Still got one day of work left to go! Hopefully nothing goes wrong and I can just get through and have three nice days at home. *nods* Night all!
