Perceived time scarcity seems somehow to be the order of the day. I might move these summaries to Monday permanently, but for the moment here is the brain dump:

  • Major News Outlet said no to my second puzzle submission, just with a form letter. Some of the wording in the form letter ("this puzzle didn't emerge as one of our favorites") might mean that it made it to the final stage though, and got voted on by the team of editors? It's amusing. These crossword rejections are written in code that looks like English, and can mean something precise, just like performance-related wording at work used to be. Anyway, I have two more in progress with two different collaborators, and am going to re-submit that last one to a different outlet just to get practice.

  • Spent most of Friday making a protest sign for No Kings protests, then a good chunk of Saturday carrying said sign. I went to the really big one with the bug and another friend, dressed inconspicuously; Perse dressed up in an elaborate fairy costume and held a sign, at a smaller protest, saying "Faeries against Fascism". Hilarious... we have a bit of a Wednesday/Enid vibe going on. But the protest itself was good, a cheerful and chill affair. I'm glad I turned out to be counted.

  • Finally had a long date with my squirrel. I'm not even sure when we last had a sleepover -- had it been four weeks? He is super overscheduled now and struggling to make time for me, but the snuggles were good and I helped him set up his new pullup bar from BaseBlocks.

  • Bug got his guided cortisone shot for his frozen shoulder, on Thursday, and says it's feeling a little better! Very happy about that. He'll have PT on Monday and then we'll know more about how it's responding.

  • Backbends and handstands continue to be awesome. I felt a huge back release and further range of motion this week when doing cobra pose (on a wedge) and holding a weight over my head, where the weight ACTUALLY FINALLY started helping me deeper into the pose. I also had a giant epiphany about anatomy in handstands that, so far, when I explain to other people is resulting in a massive "so what". Therefore, I won't attempt it here. I think doing it justice requires an animated video or at least a several-page comic.

  • The major disappointment, yet again, was failing to close on a condo. And indeed, I also found out that the insurance quote I had for it wouldn't be honored if I rented to non-students, which in this area is a real no-go -- and also WTF, I'm shocked that it's legal for them to do that. I know it's illegal for me to evict someone for quitting their job and starting classes mid-lease, and also why are we discriminating explicitly against people who are seeking education? I did a lot of swearing and then found more expensive insurance. And still the town issues no certificate. I did a bunch of hurry-up-and-wait regarding closing on Tuesday, no, Friday, no, I guess it'll be next week. I really freaking hope it will be next week.

  • Really wonderful afternoon wandering Harvard Square with a sparkly friend who was visiting from Philadelphia. We got together for lunch, initially, but then crawled three bookstores and one more cafe. I regret nothing.

  • Also, nice acro practice session with visiting base the Monk. This has happened twice now, and it's really startling how much more like home his hands feel than my recently-usual base (who I really like, but haven't yet spent six years practicing with). Looks like I won't easily be able to visit him in turn, but one of these months for sure.

  • I played a bunch more Blue Prince. I think that once I get another real house I'll need to find a stopping point on that; most people I know haven't 100%ed it. But not quite yet.

existance at its core is inherently simple

i enjoy fighting with a horse against an ettin on my tamer

just as i do chopping up monsters with my GM swordsman

not much is needed to make us happy, numbers dont

make you happy because they have no end. you gotta

do something unique. every day is an adventure!

these are all my skills after 3 hours

no newbie dungeon or any twinking nosireee

begging 65

up to 60 it went like woooooooeee

^______^

as for low energy

and being tired

working out fixes it

its so easy

i recommend to anyone really

you dont need coffee to stay awake

or cola cola or energy drinks

just do calisthinetics

you dont need a gym card that doesnt get used

you dont need heavy weights

you dont have to run to build fitness

all you need is bicep curls

the simplest workout form there is

so take that hand out of your crotch

as youre laying in bed surfing online

even if you only do that in the morning

and before going to sleep, and but the other

hand in workout mode, if you work out just

1 hour per day for a month thats 30 hours

thats not peanuts. and in a year its 360 hours

that wont get unnoticed, you look much healthier

just the first time you do it without needing

makeup anymore. if you want to look good, be

a good person. corruption shows in the face.

if youre grouchy you look grouchy, thats how it works.

We used to hate the Gorillaz, back when they first came out twenty years ago (jfc). Mostly because we couldn't seem to escape it; both the radio and our brother played it incessantly.

Then we heard "Feel Good, Inc" again the other day and now we can't stop humming it at random times.

We still hate "Clint Eastwood", though.

having it easy is just as

bad as having it difficult

isnt it strange how it is?

as they say

"i dont think it was in

the creation idea for god

that we should be happy all the time

because we enjoy a lot of of joy

from a contrast, and very

seldom from how things are"

anyway, as for easy leveling in outlands

it just eats your soul

instead of working for gains

you just get it automagically

then youre supposed to do that

for all your characters?

after the first i just

exited that place directly

then i got yelled out and

made a mage that way

and god damn, just removed

all fun from the game
