crossover_chickYes, thanks to the miracle of leap years, we have arrived back at the day Doc and Marty went to 2015, on the same day of the week no less! I wore my "Future Kicks" socks in celebration, and ended up suggesting to my parents that we watch Back To The Future Part II. So we did, over dinner. It was fun -- I still love these movies, even if BTTF isn't really my main fandom anymore. :) And we've made plans to watch the first one on November 12th, even if that day doesn't actually match up with the one in the movie (Thursday instead of a Saturday). Eh, can't win 'em all, and it's nice to have something to look forward to.
As for the rest of the day:
-->Work was kind of stressful, despite being mostly a day of roster maintenance -- though at least SOME of the credit card stuff is being looked at, apparently, and one outstanding issue was fixed. Just I got the "interrupted on my lunch break" problem again, which is never fun. . .not to mention, listening to the governor talk about rising cases in RI is never good for my stress levels. Bleh.
-->Weather turned better, though, so we did another five rounds of the beanbag game -- Mom was champion with three wins, but Dad and I each won once and came second once, so that was all right. I like it when all of us win once -- that makes things feel a little more fair.
-->Between not getting in a workout (beanbag game ended too late and I wanted a shower BEFORE any movie-watching) and the movie, I only had time for one YouTube video this evening: Call Me Kevin tries out Streamer Life Simulator! Yes, another game we have seen on Gray's channel – though Kevin got much more into trying to simulate the streamer life. And create terrifying monstrosities with the character creator. XD Seriously, it is SO WEIRD how this game combines terrible janky assets with surprisingly thought out gameplay – it accurately depicts assembling a computer and dealing with slow internet, while at the same time dumping fully-roasted whole pigs on your front stoop if you order food. XD At any rate, Kevin got his T-Rex-armed, bright-blue-alligator-eyed streamer Ninja set up in his terrible house (running a few people over along the way), took a side job as a courier (he went once), and did a few terrible streams of his life and "Counta Strika" (during which he passed out because his health was THAT BAD). And then he got super lucky at blackjack, ordered almost 200 pigs to keep himself fed, and ended up trapping himself in his own house with the pig pile on his front step. XD So yeah – maybe not the best way to go about making yourself an in-demand streamer!
-->Watching the movie and then getting online and catching up also didn't lend itself very well to doing any "proper" writing, so no progress on "In A World Of His Own" -- but I did get a little writing in on that meme I want to post on my tumblr eventually, so I'll count that. At least a reblog of some neat Fallout 4 worldbuilding someone did with butterflies puts me ahead on the queue!
-->And now it's time to wrap things up with comments and head to bed. Expect another 10:04 tomorrow, though -- it's not an official BTTF day, but it is a certain someone's birthday. . . Night all!
