Mar. 28th, 2019 06:49 pmI registered for Pillowfort as BooksAndCats and now I guess I have to figure out what it do?

Dec. 18th, 2018 01:27 amI am currently re-listening to The Magnus Archives for the fourth or fifth time because I have about 2 hours left of CritRole 2.26 and I just can't even (plus, I made a new friend a couple of weekends ago and Friday night we spent two solid hours geeking out about TMA over messenger)
And I finally got to play in my friends' Pathfinder game yesterday. It was extremely fun and now it's two weeks before I get to do it again. Damn you, the holidays.
Wednesday I'm scheduled for an MRI of my biliary system and I am extremely nervous about it. My EGD went fine at least, except that it didn't really show anything conclusive so I'm just up for... more tests.
Sorry, this is turning into my old livejournal where I just word vomit about whatever's been happening to me lately.

Dec. 12th, 2018 12:46 amWhy is it that whenever I have to get up early, that's when my brain loves to whisper extra-shitty things to me, until my heart is racing and I can feel my blood pressure rise?
I suppose in this case it doesn't matter, the whole point is I *can't* drive myself anywhere tomorrow and I'll be knocked out for the test so it doesn't make any difference if I'm already sleepy.
Also I hate trying to fall asleep without my cats...

Dec. 10th, 2018 02:10 pmIn 2018 I'm apparently the kind of person who uses a Google doc to compile spell lists and abilities.
I STILL can't decide on an oracle curse, though. I narrowed it down to three that work both narratively and in terms of stats, but I can't. pick. one. *thunks head on desk*
Oh well, I have almost an entire week at least to keep working on it. Also I apparently get to start at level NINE so I get to pick all kinds of tasty delicious things.

Podcast Master Rec List
Dec. 7th, 2018 02:26 amThanks to a glorious job where it is encouraged to ignore people all day long, I have a lot of time to listen to podcasts.
( these are those podcasts )
My "TBR/occasionally listen/gave up halfway through" list is even more obscene ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At some point when it's not almost bedtime I'll edit in some links on all of these.

Dec. 7th, 2018 01:57 amOh lerd, now I more-than-kind-of want to play D&D again? even though I haven't played since college?? and that was 2e??? idk wtf I'm doing anymore
My friend Mari offered to let me join the group she DMs for, and part of me is like YASS LET'S DO THIS but the other parts are like "one, you haven't done any RP in like 15 years and you are more dumb and inarticulate than ever" and "two, this is an established group of all dudes (other than the DM) only three of whom you sort of know" and I don't know what to dooooooooo
Also I no longer have any dice, my dice bag survived numerous moves over the last 12 years, but it wasn't among the myriad junk returned to us when we moved back in February after the fire.

Dec. 5th, 2018 03:15 amI have a small backlog of podcast episodes building up, but I'm nearly through ep. 2-24 of Critical Role and I'm trying to push through 26 to kind of... rip off that band aid, you know? The closer I get the harder it is.
Ashes of Life by Edna St Vincent Millay
Mar. 18th, 2013 11:21 pm"Love has gone and left me and the days are all alike;
Eat I must, and sleep I will,--and would that night were here!
But ah!--to lie awake and hear the slow hours strike!
Would that it were day again!--with twilight near!
Love has gone and left me and I don't know what to do;
This or that or what you will is all the same to me;
But all the things that I begin I leave before I'm through,--
There's little use in anything as far as I can see.
Love has gone and left me,--and the neighbors knock and borrow,
And life goes on forever like the gnawing of a mouse,--
And to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow
There's this little street and this little house."
Eat I must, and sleep I will,--and would that night were here!
But ah!--to lie awake and hear the slow hours strike!
Would that it were day again!--with twilight near!
Love has gone and left me and I don't know what to do;
This or that or what you will is all the same to me;
But all the things that I begin I leave before I'm through,--
There's little use in anything as far as I can see.
Love has gone and left me,--and the neighbors knock and borrow,
And life goes on forever like the gnawing of a mouse,--
And to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow
There's this little street and this little house."

Aug. 3rd, 2012 11:16 pmDecided to re-listen to the audiobook of Christopher Moore's 'Fool' the other day and was surprised to realize Euan Morton is the (excellent) narrator. I thought there was a reason I liked the Inquisitor's voice in SWTOR so much.
I think I'm developing a crush on his voice, actually. >.> Currently listening to another audiobook he reads, Guy Gavriel Kay's 'The Lions of Al-Rassan'. It's something of an experiment to check if it's the author or the narrator that left me not particularly enthused with 'Tigana'. The result will determine if I spend my next Audible credit on Kay's 'A Song for Arbonne' or Moore's 'Sacre Bleu' (both, not coincidentally, narrated by Morton XD).
I've also been re-discovering Daria courtesy of Hulu. I bought myself the complete DVD of the series and it came today. Excited! (Even though I'm already up to season 5 on Hulu -- but they don't have the movies up and I didn't own "Is it Fall Yet?")

The News Quiz Extra* on BBC 4 Extra is probably my favorite part of the week? It makes me glad my desk is in the back of the office separate from everyone else because I laugh LIKE A CRAZY PERSON. I try not to pay much attention to the news, but it's quite entertaining when you put it that way.
*link leads to the BBC4 site where you can listen to this week's show - starts about 2m30s in.

I've been feeling bored with my hair color for a while now, so I decided I was going to dye it. I found a dye purporting to be made for dark brown hair and I picked a shade of bright red. Well. I sort of forgot that the last time I dyed my hair (4+ years ago), there was a lot less of it-- it's currently waist length, not just below my shoulders.
Of course I didn't buy two packages of dye like a sane person. Of. Course. Not. Ahahaha.
Add to that I was rushing to get the stuff on and off my head because zomgthefumessobadargh, and I ended up with kind of a piss-poor dye job. -_-;; See, the resulting color is bright cherry kool-aid red, and the un-dyed bits are a REALLY OBVIOUS medium brown... oh yeah, it's fab.
After much consultation with Facebook, I'm going to buy two more boxes of dye tomorrow and try to get the spots I missed.

I am a crazy cat lady, all right?
Feb. 2nd, 2012 11:22 pmThat cat is in love with me, but to say that it's "mutual" doesn't begin to describe anything. I'm totally irrational about her. She and I are a scandal. (Helen Gurley Brown)
