Kind Of An "Eh" Wednesday

crossover_chick-->Work was quieter. . .but after the more frenetic pace of the previous couple of days, that actually meant things kind of dragged on at times. Didn't help that I was spending a lot of the day looking at things that I was waiting on other people on to actually get done. . .spend half of my work time waiting for people to reply to me about stuff, it feels like.
-->Did some puzzle once I got home, but managed to pull myself away for a bike ride
-->Got on the computer a bit late, and ended up spending a good portion of the evening uninstalling some stuff that I didn't want anymore, meaning I didn't get a chance to do nearly as much as I wanted in regards to YouTube and the like
-->Though I did watch a bit:
A) With the bike came more of Jon's Fallout 4 Survival Playthrough! Actually finished episode 14 today, as Jon went out exploring after doing his gun mods (though apparently I was wrong last time; the Freezing Shotgun did NOT make an appearance in his kit). He stopped by Goodneighbor to drop off the quest for Daisy, regarding clearing out the Boston Library; then made his way over to the Old North Church (after dying to a fight between some raiders, super mutants, and ghouls he accidentally got into the middle of) and turned in "Tradecraft," becoming an official member of the Railroad in the process. Then it was out through the secret escape tunnel to Cabot's house, to return the sample of serum and pick up "Emogene Takes a Lover" – then, after sequence-breaking slightly and getting Emogene to go back home to her family instead of hanging out with the idiots at the Charles Amphitheater, he returned and started the final Cabot quest, running out with Jack to see what's happening at Parsons Insane Asylum. . .and then abandoning Jack because he had shit to do with Stockton at Bunker Hill. XD He agreed to help "deliver a package" (aka get a runaway synth to freedom), and headed over to the location where they were all to meet up – and successfully took down a random Deathclaw roaming the streets of Boston! And then got himself a Cunning Chest Piece off a Legendary Raider!
. . .And then he died thanks to molotovs and exploding cars and all of that proved to be for naught. No Deathclaw on the retrek, and the chest piece was replaced with a less-impressive bit of leg armor. On the plus side, being a little more careful allowed him to actually complete the quest and get the synth to a safehouse, where he himself found a nice bed to save, har har. :p Next time we'll start Episode 15, which seems to be "let's clear out the corner of the map nearest the Insane Asylum," which – hey, fine by me! :D
B) Then, as I did get on late, I decided to keep my evening video viewing to catching up on some earlier stuff and watched James Turner gush on about his favorite lot in the new Snowy Escape pack – the rental lot he got to build on the mountain! And I have to say, it really is beautiful. Even if I'm quietly a bit iff about EA getting Game Changers to build their EP lots for them (if only because, again, I feel like the Game Changers should get compensation for their efforts), James DEFINITELY did a good job with all of his lots! And this one is no exception. . .
Which is why it's pretty hilarious-annoying that EA, upon going in and adding a few last-minute details (like space heaters, which weren't available when James was building), ended up misaligning some of his windows. James's constant refrain of "it wasn't me" had more than just me joking about a certain "Shaggy" song in the comments. :P
-->Also got some writing done -- started Chapter 4 of "In A World Of His Own!" Victor and Alice are having a wander through Orchestralia, and Alice had to pull Victor away from honking the daffodils. :p And then the conversation somehow turned toward Victor being kind of a proto-solarpunk and a few not-so-subtle nods to him being a scientist in Secundus. XD This story takes some weird turns sometimes, let me tell you.
-->And I'm currently finishing up a bit of queueing on VictorLuvsAlice before answering the DW comment and heading to bed.
So yeah -- kind of weird to have an "eh" day after yesterday's tension, but there we have it. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better. . .night all!
