Welp, that's some shite. Playstation has dumped Genshin Impact from the PS4. My console of preference. Sigh.

Not completely bad. I still have a shit ton of the game to play. I've barely worked on the Inuzuma main questline, for frame of reference. And despite being able to jump into a lot of main quest storylines for Natlan, I'm choosing to do them when I "unlock" them chronologically. So yeah, tbat's a lot of game still. This is what happens when you get carried away with side-quests.

I'm gonna miss the random requests for people to join my world. I always denied them, but I'm gonna miss them, lol.

At least until I start playing Genshin on my xbox one. Gotta do some rearranging before then and since that involves new furniture, that might take a bit.

**

In non-Genshin talk, I need to get back to writing. It's been a long while and having a laptop again has inspired me again. I've been toying on a book idea, believe it or not. Actually, I've had several book ideas that I've been poking at over the past few years. Three of them serious - an urban fantasy YA story, a fantasy YA, and an urban fantasy crime series based on fairy tale characters (the first story has to do with Peter Pan). I'm especially enthusiastic about the last one, but I've actually put a bit of work into the other two.

As for fanfic, well, I'm finally consuming fanfic worthy media, lol. (Well, not "finally", just more of it.) Been playing Pokemon Sword and just got Sun. Made me miss my interests in writing/reading Pokemon crossover fics with Silent Hill or some kind of post-apocalyptic series. I'm glad as well to have new characters for my ongoing Pokemon/Hunger Games crossover fic (rather unfortunate for them, actually).

I'm looking forward to the new Harry Potter series, which is a fandom oldie fave. I will NOT be watching it on HBO when it comes out. I'm going to sail the seven seas for it and I recommend you all do the same.

**

Also, been watching a lot of horror movies this year and I gotta say, it's been a hell of a good year for them. I can't say I have definitive horror movie fave of the year but the recent Weapons and Together had some great horror scenes in recent movies, imo. Ok, and I loved every moment of 28 Years Later, but that's completely biased as I'm a huge 28 Days/Weeks Later fan (and a huge fan of Alex Garland overall, tbh).

I'm rambling now. Feels good. =)

Gallery Day, apparently

tyger: CLI login for a Raspberry Pi / nerdery (RasPi)
[personal profile] tyger

Met up with A for lunch! :D We ended up going to two galleries - A had some stuff to drop off for a friend at the first one (more stuffed animals hahahahhaha), and then we were close to the second so we poked our noses in there, too. Some super cool stuff!!! :D

Other than that... I got snacks! I kinda ate all the ones I had, so... yes. Snacks important. That's pretty much all I did today, though, kinda just passed the fuck out when I got home, as usual, and just a bit of minecraft this evening.

Oh, wait, no, I got another call from a recruiter! This one I think I did pretty okay with, so fingers crossed I'll at least get an interview! >: >: >: (Gonna have to brush up on React stuff, though, heh. Which I should probably do anyway, React is... very popular. Sigh.)

Wednesday? Yes.

tyger: Isa, Lea, and Ven sketches from the Ultimania (Isa\Lea/Ven - battle of the pointy hair!)
[personal profile] tyger

Nothing too interesting today, unsurprisingly. Did all the pet cleanup tasks I had planned, and also did a bunch of putting stuff back up on top of the bookshelves, now that I'm not gonna be able to put the shelves up there.

Room feels a LOT better now, not gonna lie. So much less visual clutter! Though like. The total number of items in a stupid place - ie, the floor, usually - hasn't gone down by much, it's just that the ones stored up there are generally BIG ones.

Didn't get any handicrafts done, though, bleh. Brain just crapped out on me, more than anything, very annoying. I DID however get a LOT of loose fur off Tortilla, which is nice! It's not quite spring shedding season yet, but it's definitely close and every bit helps!

Gonna meet A for lunch tomorrow, so I should uh. Go to bed. I'm tired, anyway, which I'm mostly blaming on my parents being home - I don't seem to be sleeping as well, which I think is due to ambient noise levels. I've woken up early a few times while they've been making coffee, etc. etc. And napping during the day is harder, because Mama. Oh well!

*sigh of relief*

Finally scheduled my vaccine and flu shot for Thursday morning - won't have to be back at work until Sunday. Expecting it to wallop me like last time tbh, and have planned accordingly.

Things I'd like to do:

[] Catch up on my DW reading list (+comment!)
[] Work on finishing another batch of cards for Point of Pride
[] Make notes for a post on Slay the Princess

Not that a huge amount happened, really. Finally blocked the switch case! Did some cleaning & tidying up. That's about all.

Today I went for a walk with Mama, and then I took my keyboard apart and cleaned the hell out of it. It. Um. It took a LOT longer than I expected - like, three hours or something - but I got SO much gunk out, omfg. It's not perfect, but it's so much better. :D

Haven't done any mending or knitting/crochet, which I really want to do, but it'll come! Soon! I hope. Tomorrow I've got to do the gross animal upkeep cleaning, which is fine, if annoying. Maybe after that.

I'm trying to not turn the desktop on until after tea, in an attempt to railroad my brain into getting some shit done rather than just read all day. Too early to tell how it'll go over time, but at least it's not been a dismal failure from the outset! :3

Lazy Sunday~

[personal profile] tyger

Not a whole lot today really... Got my shinies in pokemon, finally! (The vulpix were easy, got two of them in the first outbreak before it even got to max likelihood! Numel, on the other hand... didn't even find ONE until the fourth outbreak orz orz orz) Did some washing. Finished repairing that shawl!

Also Minecraft, which has started crashing a bunch which is Very Annoy, ugh. Pretty sure it's due to the mod I updated, so I guess I'll go roll that back. :/ Annoying, though, it's got a bugfix I specifically wanted... Alas! Will probably be fine on a new world, it's just got a config file reformat in there which I'm not surprised fucks shit up. Annoyed. But not surprised.

And now to bed with me, yes!

good weekend eats

Food pics under the cut! )

Otherwise, highlights:

[] My first postcard through Postcrossing made it and I got a thoughtful response c: I'm now eligible to receive a postcard! And I have an open slot to send another one while the rest are still traveling.

[] We started (re-)watching the X-men movies after watching Matt Baume's latest video. Last night we watched First Class (which I hadn't actually seen!) and it was Wild. Like watching a speedrun lmao. The scenes that were good were SO good but there were sooo many short scenes stuffed back to back there was really no build up? But I will say, it felt good to watch a movie call Nazis Nazis. Planning to watch the first X-men movie tomorrow, which I'm really looking forward to o/ I watched it a lot as a child.

[] I've been writing fanfic again... Feels good.

Saturday!

tyger: A small ginger cat in a wicker bag (Sushi - bag)
[personal profile] tyger

The weather was AWESOME today, I ended up spending idk an hour, hour and a half weeding in the front yard. (The onion grass is blooming, it is the ideal time to attack it! >E >E >E) Extremely nice to be out in the sun, yessss.

I also darned two holes in a shawl, only for Mama to notice one we'd both missed several times as I was folding it to put away orz orz orz. It's mohair, so it's kinda a pain to darn, since the wool catches to much, and since it's a super loose knit it's SUPER obvious it's fixed, but! Also it is big and drapey so you can't really see the repaired bits when you wear it. (According to Mama, but they're not that big so I believe her!)

Anyway I'll finish that off tomorrow, and then put it at the BACK of the drawer, since it got its holes via Sushi clawing at it when even a tiny tiny bit was visible, sigh. Sushi really likes mohair, apparently??? I can't blame him it is super fluffy, but at the same time, Sushi do you have to show your love by destroying things??? (Of course he does, he is the biteiest of boys. Such a tiny jerk...)

Why is sleeping at night so hard??

ANOTHER bad night! Couldn't sleep because brain just would not shut the fuck up, siiiiiigh. Hate it. Brains are so dumb.

But! I used my new dragonite as a pillow and that was super great! :D So I'm happy about that, yessss.

Nothing too interesting today, honestly. Darned some socks?? Went for a short walk with Mama? Nothing huge.

And now back to bed! Hopefully I'll be able to sleep easily tonight...

I am a sleepy yes

tyger: A Minecraft map mod with cats marked on it. There are MANY CATS. (Minecraft - Cat Map)
[personal profile] tyger

Unsurprisingly, today I was very tired!

The fact that it was cold enough my ankle started bitching didn't help, either. :/

Anyway, A was good! :D Tiny exhibit was fun! Also I now have a massive roumb dragonite it's the best. (Mama is SUPER MAD, sigh.)

Um. Something something I keep drifting off trying to finish this post so uh I think I'll just. Go bed now. Yes.

I was thinking about later this year I'll want to make a mailing list for christmas/new years cards - and then it occurred to me I can also just send mail because I want to! Whether to say hello or welcome fall here in the northern hemisphere.

So here's my call: if you'd like to receive a card or letter from me please drop me a comment and I'll PM you c:

I also have plenty of international stamps so no worries re: your location o/

Goddamnit brain

tyger: An egg, with sparkles. (Chooks - egg!)
[personal profile] tyger

So tomorrow I'mma meet A and we're gonna go poke a tiny art exhibition and etc.

So of course I'm still up at fucking almost 5am. I need to leave the house in about five hours!!! Omfg brain WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS. /o\

Anyway other than THAT... one of the chooks laid an egg again! :D They're clearly feeling much safer! This pleases me~!!!

I also cleaned out both the coop and the run and put in a bunch of straw for them in the run, so they should enjoy that. :3 :3 :3 Mama stayed out the back with me while I did that, just in case of foxes. Likelihood is pretty low, but, well. Makes me feel better if nothing else!

Nothing much other than that, though. Except I'm still fucking awake-! (I maybe played a LOT of minecraft this evening. In my defense I've been rearranging my storage and figured out a way to integrate botany pots into it and that is brain eating levels of fascinating because I am a super nerd, sigh.)

PHYSICS

tyger: Hope, glaring.  Text: Hope (Hope - angryface)
[personal profile] tyger

So today I finally got my shit together and did the stud finding thing, and I was at the point where I was trying to get the shelf up onto the top of the bookshelves just to check if the places I'd marked would work (ie, not in the middle of the shelf). Aaaaand... it was too heavy for me to manage something that long on my own, so I had to get Mama to help, and... well. Physics is hard. )

So that's super annoying and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Other than that... nothing too interesting. Did get those shinies in pokemon, which is good! Haven't fought the new boss yet, but hopefully will be pretty straightforward... And one of the new set of mass outbreaks I've already got the shinies for, so I only need to catch four shinies total this time! :D Also ONE OF THEM IS VULPIX, which is SO EXCITING eeeeee :D :D :D :D :D

Ugh, paperwork.

tyger: Vanitas fanart, looking really grumpy. (Vanitas - grumpyface)
[personal profile] tyger

Sooo made the stupid call, have to get info on their special form from ex-work, so who even KNOWS when that'll get back to me. :/ :/ :/ So annoying!

Other than that, nothing amazing today really. I am Officially Late with the pokemon event, too, gotta get those last two shinies before I download the new update whoops >>;;;; Gonna have to focus on that tomorrow, rather than minecraft!

Something something bed now, I feel like there was something else but I forget orz orz orz

Blegh

tyger: Axel, looking sad. (Axel - needs hugs)
[personal profile] tyger

I woke up properly - in that I didn't immediately want to go back to sleep - at about 3pm today, heh. So I think I'm more or less better now? But that was a LOT of sleeping orz orz orz. And walking around the block with Mama was. Exhausting. Bleh. Still, at least it was over pretty quickly, honestly! Just annoying while it was happening.

REALLY did not do much else today, though. Played some Minecraft after tea, but that's about it, hahaha. Tomorrow is a weekday though so I'mma have to make another fucking phonecall uuuuuugh, I'm gonna be on hold for like an hour again I just know it. =_= Still, if I call when I wake up, they'll at least _answer the goddamn phone. Eventually.

Anyway still pretty early for me but I'm sleepy already so I'mma bed, yes. >: Sleeeeeeeep.
