crossover_chickAs my to-do list will attest to:
Work – Well, even when I’m not there for a full day, work can be annoying. >.< It was a pretty slow day, but I had some stuff to do – catch up on some credit card calls, put on some gifts, stuff like that. The problem came toward the end of my four hours – first, we had one of the parish people pestering us about a gift that we only learned about two days ago (it’s in the donors hands!), and second, we had some trouble with the safe at the end of the day, meaning I left slightly late and got caught up in the worst of the traffic going home. Meeh. *sigh* Just one more full day to get through!
Oh, and if you’re wondering about dentist visit this morning, it went fine. Took just under an hour with the trip there and back (traffic going up was PARTICULARLY smooth, I’m happy to say), and my teeth remain fine. I’ll take it!
To-Do List –
1. Get in a workout: Check – back on the bike, and back to James Turner’s High School Years Rags To Riches Generational Epic with Part 33, “We’re going to school!” Highlights of the episode included:
A) Reginald getting both an attic magic room (as everyone wanted him to have one) with a cauldron, a sitting area in front of the magical fireplace, some planters, and a bar, AND a home office (James split it off from the bedroom with all his awards, a fancy computer, and even a little meeting space. Very nice!
B) Addison joining the chess club because James wanted to do an after-school activity, and that was the best of the “new” options (he actually thought Scouts would be the best option for Addison, but he really wanted to do one of the things that came with the pack). So we’ll see what THAT’S like (besides rabbit-holey).
C) The family adopting a new puppy, Obi! Because Sidney and his family have a dog, and they can’t be left behind! XD The puppy is absolutely adorable – and a total glutton, able to wolf down massive amounts of food. XD Well, we’ll see if James and the others remember to keep the feeders full!
D) And Addison attending high school for the very first time! This is actually where I left off, right after James did a “refresh your memory” tour of his updated high school build for Copperdale. We’ll see how Addison’s very first day goes tomorrow, along with my required Corpse Bride and Back To The Future videos to celebrate Marty and Victor’s birthdays. :)
2. Continue writing “Londerland Bloodlines: Downtown Queensland”: Check – Alice rather easily solved the candle puzzle in the library (just pull Mind, Time, and Perception in order, and all three will light up), and has discovered Grout’s second audio diary! You know, the one where he laments the death of the traditional insane asylum and all the horrors within. Alice is already thinking about how much she wants to murder this guy, as you might expect. But she must be continue on, and she’s already figured out that it’s the door back in the foyer that got unlocked by the candles, so it’s time to retrace her steps and see how long she can rely on Obfuscate to avoid killing anyone. The next room might be a LITTLE tricky in that regard. . .hmmm. We’ll see!
3. Keep up with YouTube Subs: Check plus – as today’s Subs was literally just the GrayStillPlays Shorts video today, I took the opportunity to catch on the old Watch Later –
A) Started with a couple of the latest OXBoxtra lists –
I. “7 Games That Get Harder the Worse You’re Doing” – Luke and Ellen takes us through those games that punish you in some way for being bad at them. Die a lot in Dark Souls 2? Enjoy having more and more of your health bar capped off! Disdain stealth and go Full Mike in Hitman: Blood Money? Enjoy becoming more and more notorious and thus more and more recognizable to panicky civilians and armed guards! Get hit once in any given Legend of Zelda game? Enjoy losing Master Sword beam privileges! Oh cruel video games, why must you be this way to us poor scrubs. . .
II. “7 Weirdest Dating Sims We Swear We're Not Making Up” – Andy takes us through a selection of baffling dating sims! Yes, Hatoful Boyfriend (the game where you date pigeons, and also there’s a secret murder mystery route) and I Love You, Colonel Sanders (the KFC dating sim) are in there, but did you also know about Speed Dating For Ghosts (where you date a variety of ghosts and learn their stories)? How about Romancelvania (where you play a vampire having a hard time getting over an ex and is half monster dating sim, half Castlevania action platformer)? Or even Hooked On You: A Dead By Daylight Dating Sim (which is an OFFICIAL SPINOFF by the people who made the Dead By Daylight game – you’re a regular schmoe who got washed upon the tropical island where four of the iconic killers hang out and play volleyball in between murder sprees, and you get to romance one of them. Seriously, this is a thing that exists)? The genre is weirder than you could ever imagine, is what I’m saying here.
B) And then it was over to the Subs for the GrayStillPlays minisode – “Busting 5 Myths in GTA 5 #shorts!” Myth One: A blimp can carry a tank’s weight atop it – false! Gray (sloppily) dropped a tank on a blimp with a helicopter, and it fell out of the sky and – after a short pause – exploded. Myth Two: You can’t jump from one letter of the VINEWOOD sign to another – false! It doesn’t work with ALL the letters, but Gray showed you can jump from the W to the E, the E to the N, and just BARELY make it from the N to the I. Myth Three: Driving over curbs makes you go faster – true! Gray demonstrated this on a timed course where he had seventeen seconds to get to the end of a stretch of roadway before a wall came up – driving solely on the road led to a crash, but driving on the curb on the side had him rocket past the end long before the wall came up. Myth Four: You can’t break a Ruiner (type of car, believe it’s the one that looks vaguely like the DeLorean) parachute if you skydive into it – false! Gray did just that, and the parachute vanished, causing the car to plummet. Myth Five: You cannot tightrope while drunk – false! If you have a weapon and start aiming with it, you will start walking perfectly straight no matter how drunk you are in game. *nods* Thanks for the info, Gray!
4. Get my tumblr queues sorted: Check – I got a bit of a later start than I wanted to on my tumblr stuff (Merge Dragon had ANOTHER surprise midweek event that I became aware of this morning – in fact, I’m starting to wonder if they have events a lot more regularly than I think, and I just miss a good portion of them because I don’t usually play at home that much anymore), but I did catch up on all my tracked tags on Victor Luvs Alice, and got some drafts for potential new posts written up – a follow-up on some of my ideas for Smiler’s Otherland, and my idea for a Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Valicer AU (with Smiler as Ferris, Victor as Cameron, and Alice as Sloane – blame my friend Nebby for this one, as her suggesting a Ferris-style AU for a potential birthday fic idea is what put THIS idea in my head). And this evening, as there was nothing else going on on Valice Multiverse, I threw up my final Not-Incorrect Valicer Quotes set into that queue! Gonna have to find something else to reblog over there sharpish. . .
. . .And you know what, I have referenced these quotes enough over here that I figure I should, you know, ACTUALLY SHARE THEM. Here’s all the relevant posts –
The Original Incorrect Quotes Post (truly incorrect quotes made with a generator that inspired all the below; still has all the right vibes for the trio)
Random Assortment One (the original start of my Not-Incorrect series)
Random Assortment Two
Occasionally Saucy Edition (this one is MILDLY NSFW as Smiler talks a little bit about Victor’s turn-ons and is naked in the last one)
Musical Edition
Meet The Family Edition (again, MILDLY NSFW because of Nanny immediately clocking Victor, Alice, and Smiler’s relationship at the end)
Clothing (And No Clothing) Edition (some partial nudity, as indicated by the title)
The Sleepytime Edition
Hopefully you all enjoy those! As for me, I have to get to bed so I can get through one more work day this week -- at least it's also Victor's (and Marty's) birthday, so that's something to try and celebrate. Fingers crossed it's not a miserable day -- night all!
