Gosh, this sounds a lot like last week's.

flexagonPerceived 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.

Oct. 19th, 2025 09:18 amimperfectionisperfectionexistance 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
or fishing and camping and begging with this ironman
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
camping 28
not that fast
fishing 19
real slow even here
ive catched 8 fish only!
but it only uses a charge
on the fishing thingo
when i catch one
so itll last long
anyway, did pk a fisher
so i guess i have
it coming for me lol

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.

Oct. 16th, 2025 05:45 amnorthlandsWe 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.

Oct. 16th, 2025 03:01 amimperfectionisperfectionuox crossposthaving 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
