Fairly Distracted Saturday
Jun. 2nd, 2018 11:41 pmAlso very muggy, and not nearly as rainy as they said -- it rained briefly while Mom and I were in the store shopping, and that was it. Normally this would be a nice thing, but -- well, see "very muggy" just previous. We were kind of relying on the rain to get rid of that. Fortunately, it has dried out and cooled off a fair bit, so I shouldn't have any issues getting comfortable enough to sleep tonight. (Last night was a biiiit tough in that regard.)
Anyway, yes, today was kind of a day of distraction for me -- I blame largely the OXBox page on TV Tropes (which is great and made me properly appreciate Mike's last name -- Channell XD), along with reading up on more info on the upcoming Sims 4 Seasons pack, and reading stories on the "Not Always. . ." Site (they've added a new Legal category!). When I get sucked into things, I get sucked in hard. I did accomplish everything on my to-do list, though!
-->Go Shopping With Mom: Did that right before lunch -- Mom got her gift card for my coworker who gave her the plant; I got chocolates for a coworker who bought me some root beer, and Mom got the stuff to make cookies for a coworker (sort of, he works in IT) who gave me a Portal hat. Cookies did not turn out quite as planned thanks to the hot and muggy day and our oven being incredibly fiddly -- she's gonna try again tomorrow with those.
-->Watch Linkara's Latest Episode: Did that after dinner -- a return to the New Guardians! Which -- was a rather more sobering issue, with a subplot of three of the Guardians dealing with a potential HIV diagnosis, and the others dealing with a gang of young, high teenagers destroying their home. It wasn't really good, but it was better than the previous two issues he's reviewed. Also had some plot stuff, which was nice. :)
-->Play BioShock 2: Did that before dinner -- sort of. Game was a crashy little BITCH today and I eventually just gave up after the fourth time it quit on me. Fortunately for me, I made a save right after a very successful Gather with my latest Little Sister, so at least I didn't have to redo that part over and over again. Still, it's freaking annoying when the game just won't let me play. I looked up the issue, and there may be a thing or two I can try -- next week. Tomorrow is definitely Sims day.
I also got my writing done -- rewrote the next chunk of my Holistic Assassin!Alice AU from an early draft, and edited the latest "Scenes From Secundus" to go up on AO3: cabin. Also watched an OXtra video about tragedies that occurred behind that most impenetrable of barriers -- a sheet of plot glass! And of course I got my room cleaned up, so that's a win.
Currently doing the RP thing on my RP tumblr, despite it's best efforts to completely glitch out my notifications. (*sigh* Good thing I'm already used to checking every thread I know I have open while on work breaks to draft replies!) Just gotta answer something in my inbox, then I'll get back to that. Night all! Sleep tight!
