Sounds like a disaster!
Tried some rain and thunder noise instead of fan noise for sleeping. Not sure it worked as well, but it was nice.
Still coughing when I woke up, so I didn’t go to the office to share my potential germs with the office party.
I forgot how to eat food, but Marith saved me with cherry tomato chicken. I put it over microwave rice and ate it and did not die even a little bit.
Watched (anime): Sentenced to Be a Hero 1-2: The worst and most powerful (and often craziest) criminals are sentenced to the battlefield as expendable special forces units, because their souls can be dragged back mostly intact from hell when they die. Human civilization with Euromedieval aesthetic and some magitech is being driven back by monsters, ancient magical superweapon in the form of a little girl, etc. Lots of gore and explosions and general violence.
Read (comic collection): Harley Quinn and Power Girl (Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray, Stephane Roux, Paul Mounts): Power Girl has amnesia due to something in another series, so she’s hanging around Gotham with Harley Quinn when some low-level Batman villains use an alien artifact to teleport them to the Planet of Groovy 70s Free-Love Aliens, who are in a war with the forces of repression. The jinx that ensue are definitely high.
Read (novel): The Initiate (James L Cambias): A man whose family has just been killed by a demon is recruited to infiltrate the cabal of sorcerers who secretly rule the world with absolute power and absolute corruption. It’s pretty traditional magic, calling up spirits by chanting in ancient tongues on the right day of the week, etc, and also traditional is the problem with going undercover in an evil conspiracy. I saw the twist well before the main character did, because he didn’t pay attention to the error messages.
