I'll send you a bit when I get paid. You can pay me back by letting me take you to the game store when you get to Austin.

I've had Billie Eilish's bad guy stuck in my head for two days now. Not the lyrics, mind you, but the beat/music.

gdi.

Work is busy and strapped for people today and here I am so nauseated I'm afraid I might puke at any minute.I wanna go home but I don't wanna leave them struggling even more.

Thanks migraine! I hate it.

@Roz said in Good TV:

@Auspice You can still watched it subbed on Netflix.

Oh! Good.
I like watching anime subbed for a couple reasons. I like seeing it as-it-was-meant-to-be and it also helps me not completely lose what Japanese I do know (I find whenever I watch an anime subbed, after a few episodes I stop relying on the subs as much. I still need them at times / to supplement, but it's kind of enjoyable to go 'okay I seem to know this language more than I thought I did' ....... also proves that immersion does totally work?)

@insomniac7809 said in RL things I love:

Mac threw a ball with Chase Utley. I thought @Ghost might appreciate that.

lol I messaged him about that earlier today. If anyone would be excited about it, it'd be Ghost.

Call the floor supervisor for a break, not me. All I'd do is call him on your behalf.

@Sparks While I grasp the logic, the other bit that makes my soul itch is...

...it's not replacing with 'naked woman features'. If this is the reasoning, it is apparently taught to replace with 'naked women from porn' features, which are, uh... yeah. While porn is broad and varied, I would not call it a genuine random sample of the population.

I just... the methodology here makes my head hurt on so many levels.

Well I'd imagine the vast majority of naked photos available to it are from porn.

....which might be another reason why there's no male one. Most readily available pics of naked men are prob gay porn and we know how uncomfortable that'd make the sort of guy who made this.

Being ADHD, working on your bullet journal for the next month, having your morning dose of ADHD medication wear off right as you end up smearing ink everywhere in the bujo (ruining pages you'd just worked on for an hour and a half), and finding yourself on the verge of frustrated tears over something so dumb. And then having to go take another dose of the meds, sit down, and redo everything again.

Some of it may be stress over family health stuff, some of it was the ADHD medication wearing off, but it feels like creating the charts and lists for the next month in a freaking journal should never drive someone to that point, even if a mess gets made.

I have yet to find a bujo method that works consistently for me. Partly because I see these amazing, gorgeous layouts people do and the hate of my own lack of ability to make something so good creeps up...... on top of the 'I spent hours on this but it looks like hot garbage'

I love bullet journaling, but I am bad at it.

@Ghost said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

@Auspice In my defense, when your SO is tugging at you or traipsing around in some manner of "come hither" clothing saying "Come get this..."

1. There are penalties either way, but "Sorry babe, in the middle of an IC wedding" is not a suggested thing to say in that situation.
2. My SO is a tattooed, ghetto-raised barbarian sword-swinging tavern wench of a woman who would probably unplug the computer and be like "Nook. Now." anyway.

Sometimes I'm surprised she does.

I mean you've thrown milk (or was it water?) jugs at that poor woman.

Coworker brought a fuck load of Popeyes to work for everyone. This pleases me greatly.

@Auspice I will say this for mumble rap. Despite my mega-loathing of it, I am glad to see that it has brought out a (very slightly) more LGBT-friendly side of the urban music community, especially with the guy from that (awful, just fucking -awful-) country rap song coming out as gay last month.

You probably shouldn't ride in my car anytime soon.

I fucking love that song.

@Admiral said in RL Sads:

@Auspice Congrats on moving on to better things, at least?

This is true. And I'm excited for the new job.
But these have been, hands down, some of the best people I've ever worked with.

So it's bittersweet

This is why, midsummer, I do the mirror of people in the great white wastes and turn on my car with the AC early. I'm on the side of my complex that gets full sun all day so it's not uncommon for my car to read 115' when I get in and we're not even full heat yet.

I actually have never watched/read Sword Art Online. >.>

@PuppyBreath said in Gas Money:

I just wanted to let everyone know that I made it safely to Austin! Some car trouble held me up, then my check engine light came back on on the way. I can't wait to replace that car! But I'm here!

Thank you to everyone who helped me get here! I'm super excited for a fresh start.

yay!

@Sparks said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

I injured my foot at the beginning of May. It is now July. And while I can put weight on it again just fine, it still hurts. Tonight, it hurts badly enough that I cannot sleep.

This is irritating me.

This is also why I'm posting at 3:30am.

This is my life. When I was younger, I was very, very active. Runner, martial artist. Anything I could do. Was out running one day and got this sharp pain in my foot. Went to the doc. Doc says tendinitis. Foot still hurt a month later. Doc says tendinitis. Kept hurting, but less, until I finally just got used to the pain.

In my twenties someone finally did an x-ray and turns out, I had damaged my cuboid, and it had gone untreated for so long it deformed.

Fun times!

I am so sorry. misdiagnosed shit sucks. When I was 17, I fell and hurt my shoulder. Dislocation they said. Over the next few years it got so bad I could be driving and have to pull over until a wave of pain passed. I had limited motion, couldn't carry more than 5lb, etc. First doctor I saw said 'I don't give anything for chronic pain and btw it was probably an AC joint separation, not a dislocation' and sent me to physical therapy..... Which I did but they said sorry, PT won't fix this but we'll try.

Next doctor did the same deal. 'Do PT!' PT said after a few weeks no, this isn't gonna help. Doctor went sorry, can't do anything else for ya.

Moved to SC because I couldn't handle work anymore. Saw new doc there. He decided exploratory surgery was the only option because while he couldn't see what was wrong, he acknowledged something was.

Turned out the original injury healed bad and my shoulder socket was full of bone spurs, but due to the way the shoulder is....they couldn't be seen on MRI.

I love that man..if you're in the Greenville SC area and need an ortho surgeon, I will gladly find his name again. He acknowledged something was wrong and was willing to do what was needed to see it fixed.

@Admiral said in Gas Money:

@PuppyBreath I've got an open offer for a hot meal if you want to check out any of the local restaurants. Maybe @Auspice could come along as well. And anyone else in Austin. (Though the more people who go the cheaper the meal will have to be. :3)

I am always a fan of free food. >.>
(I've already told @PuppyBreath I will be dragging her to Pluckers at some point. :D)

I just started watching the first episode of season 4 of The Good Place and

***=omg***

@Warma-Sheen said in Good TV:

Amazon really lets Chrisjen be who she is in the books in a way that SyFy did not (or could not).

Probably could not. Chrisjen swears like a sailor (and I love it).

Reading the books, btw, makes it all the more hilarious that Wes Chatham practically demanded to be Amos. (Tho from having read an interview, he'd only read the first book, began reading others during filming, but it started to affect his playing of Amos, so now he'll only read one book ahead ... which makes him kind of an adorable nerd IMO :P)
