Delicious Half-Day
Aug. 4th, 2017 11:28 pmPart-literally -- one of the things I did with my free time was hike up to one of the local Dunkin Donuts (I now live near THREE within a quarter-mile) and get another frozen hot chocolate. Easy way to beat the heat and humidity still sticking around today. And a small is pretty cheap too. Factor in that we still have that gift card, and life is good. :p
Other things of note today:
-->Work was bog-standard boring, with me chipping away at a list of potentially-deceased people. At least a half-day of this is easier to take, especially since I was able to break up the day by putting in some checks and sending some e-mails regarding the database system's glitches lately.
-->Wrote some poly AU stuff for my writing time. Don't think it was my best work, but it was good writing practice, at least. And honestly, I edit even my snippets viciously whenever I come back to them, so I can consider it just a first draft. :p
-->Played Bioshock -- have managed to avoid death-by-splicer and death-by-security-bot, though it hasn't been easy. I'm kind of chewing through first aid kits and EVE. On the plus side, I've learned how to hack stuff, and made a few robot friends. :) It's weirdly endearing to hack a security bot to be on your side -- especially when the flying ones follow you around. :) I have also gotten my hands on a machine gun, and the Incinerate plasmid (aka the one that lets you throw fire around). I'm currently in the Medical Pavilion, listening to Dr. Steinman get gradually more and more unhinged via audio diary. That boss fight's going to be fun, isn't it? Still, I'm gradually getting the hang of things, I think. And it is fun to be able to set people on fire now. (Alice: *no doubt glaring at me in my head*)
-->Parents fired up the new gas-powered lawnmower, which worked as-advertised -- our lawn now looks like a lawn, instead of a field. Highlighted the fact that we need to fix up the driveway, as well as the front walk, but one thing at a time.
-->Have spent quite a bit of time on TV Tropes, because that is what I do with my life. Revisited the A:MR page, looked at a couple other horror game pages, currently looking at some of the tropes that show up in the Bioshock category. As you do.
-->I have started setting up my VictorLuvsAlice queue for the next few days, at least, which includes putting Chapter 2 of "Secundus" up on AO3. Hopefully people shall continue to enjoy my old NaNoWriMo stuff!
-->Current plans for the rest of my waking hours tonight include doing my Valice Multiverse queue, finishing up the VictorLuvsAlice one, and answering a few things in my inbox. And maybe watching a video really quick, because yay videos.
-->Plans for tomorrow: Sims 4, some active RP in the evening for a change, maybe finally getting back to "Fixing You" with the writing. And watching Helloween's latest STALKER sets. Should be able to manage all that. (Plus a room vacuum since I want to stay in that habit.)
Anyway, better get to the rest of the stuff on my to-do list. Night all, sleep tight!
