Happy Birthday Moose!
Jan. 10th, 2019 10:04 pmYeah, I remembered -- and even got the BTTF time stamp for you! :p I also bring you this fic, which again touches on what I feel is one of the most amusing events from the BTTF comics -- a little more directly this time:
( It Was A Misunderstanding )
As for the rest of day -- well, I got everything on my to-do list accomplished! I:
-->Headed up to the mall and redeemed all my Dave & Buster's gift cards -- that plus what was left over from the $50 my parents gave me in chips on my birthday trip there means I had over 700 chips to use on games! I've never had that many in my life! :D Went around and played a bunch of stuff -- down to about 411 now just because most of the games are expensive, but that still means I shouldn't need to recharge the charge the next time I go up there. :p I even got something with my vast amount of tickets -- a little D&B keychain. It looked kinda neat, and I go up there often enough -- I may as well "buy" something as a token of appreciation. I also wandered around Newbury's, but didn't see anything I wanted to buy -- I swear, the one in Providence Place is almost entirely Funko Pops now. O.o Which, fine, they're decent toys, but I already have the BTTF ones, sooo. . . Did have a nice Philly Chicken sandwich from Charley's, and a delicious Better Brown Batter milkshake from the Hershey's food stand. And I was able to pick up some deodorant and Mom's birthday card from the CVS up there. :) All in all, a pretty good mall trip.
And actually, the shopping didn't stop there -- when Mom picked me up, we swung by Stop & Shop for some fruit and rolls for supper, and Job-Lot for cracker supplies for her, and a new hairbrush and gloves for me. I've been meaning to replace my old hairbrush for a while -- all the soft plastic tips are gone, and it's just -- way old. And, uh, my old gloves have done missing, as I discovered this morning when I reached into my pocket to get them and my hat and found only my hat. We're not sure what happened to them -- we thought I'd accidentally left them at the bank the other day, but the guy there said he saw me put them into my bag. . .which they were very much NOT in (I even went home to double-check). I managed to go without today, as I wasn't outside very long at any point, but tomorrow, which is supposed to be below freezing all day. . .yeah, needed a new pair. Got a nice purple leather pair for ten bucks, yay me.
-->Finished up the new Brown-Kosperov place in Sims 4 -- it took some doing, mostly because I wasn't sure for a long while what was going to become of Emma's old room (I'm not planning on them having children for a bit), nor of the best way to display their fossil rock collection (pretty much everything with decorative slots has a maximum of three for objects their size -- they, predictably, had four). But I eventually worked the place up into something I found acceptable. There's a rather homey wood-toned upstairs with the bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, mini-gym, and archeology room (since they're the ones who visited Selvadorada on a proper vacation), and a basement with Nikal's woodworking table and their secret science lab. Though it occurs to me I should have a toilet down there too. . .and I'd like to add in a laundry if I could. . .well, that shouldn't take QUITE so long. Maybe I'll get them through Love Day first. :p
-->Got up Chapter 11 of "Fixing You" -- the FF.net variation, and the AO3 variation! Much shorter than the previous offering, but should still be a good read. If a sadder one, given the characters learn where those Slithering Ruins are actually coming from, and Victor has a freakout, poor guy. He needs all the hugs. And more killing of his inner demons.
So that was good. And, additionally, I got watch another set of Doom (2016) from Helloween (Doom Guy has been slaughtering his way through the demons of Hell, as per usual -- though the demons of Hell have not been helpful in lining up so he can get double kills with his super shotgun and upgrade it. Typical. Also, we've met Sam the director face-to-robot-visor and learned about the artifact that might be able to help us close the Hell portal. And, more importantly, we have found this game's version of the BFG 9000. :D It is a glorious demon wrecking machine. I look forward to seeing it slaughter the armies of Hell. :D). So yay! Very nice day off.
Of course, now I have to get all my end-of-day stuff done, including my tumblr queues and answering the comments in my inbox. You guys know how I am. And then it's off to bed for another full day of work. And then the weekend. :p Gotta get through all this first, though -- night all!
