Celebrated by going grocery shopping, because it’s the weekend, and doing laundry, because it’s Tuesday. Also by sleeping in a lot and being extremely useless,

Watched: Bee and Puppycat 1-10: The first series was on Youtube, it turns out. Also not as good. The writing and especially the art improved significantly from the pilot to the series, and then another leap forward when it was remade as Lazy in Space. Now that the remake exists, the original is really only of historical interest.

Written: FAIL.

I accomplished absolutely nothing useful today, because I am A Idiot. The cats did get three gooshy meals, though.

Read: Jangli (Ashvi Gupta): OSR set in pre-Hindu(?) Western India. It reminds me of Pendragon, with the PCs wanting to get glory but doing it through adventuring to protect their clan territory from monsters and witches, and going to battle against other clans, and not having magic of their own (so not like Runequest). Pretty standard OSR system, limited advancement, mass combat rules.

Watched: Bee and Puppycat: Lazy in Space 13-16: The end! Many things were wrapped up, some things were left mysterious. Plotwise there is plenty of room for more, although it would probably be okay if nothing more was ever explained.

Watched: BNA 1: I dunno, it was the next thing Netflix played, because their algorithm is trash. Something about beast-people being oppressed and getting stuffed into their own city and human terrorists and wolf superheroes.

Written: Nope, still FAIL.

 

(Comes before Christmas Eve, but is not that great.)

I failed to get produce at the farmers’ market, but did get some food to keep me going until Christmas, then went grocery shopping and got some more food to get me to Boxing Day, when I plan to go shopping again. Also finally tried the other chicken tenders place because it wasn’t raining, but meh.

Watched: Bee and Puppycat: Lazy in Space 8-12: Netflix doesn’t seem to have the 2013 series. I blame capitalism. Anyway, we get more about Puppycat’s backstory, and plot, and the weird people who live with Bee on her island. Puppycat did an actual nice thing! I think this series is Steven Universe + FLCL + pastel.

Read: “Zeta-Epsilon” (Isabel J Kim): So what’s it like having an AI stapled to your brain?

Read: “Day Ten Thousand” (Isabel J Kim): Very meta, about guys cloned from ten-thousand-year-old dead guys in the future or the past or alternate timelines or different drafts of the same story about suicide. Not my thing.

Written: FAIL. You’d think I’d be able to do something while on vacation, but no.

I know most cookies last a while, but it still seems like this should be closer to Bake Cookies Day.

Half the US team and our boss were on vacation today, but work was quite light. Good job having a holiday code freeze, customers! Now I’m off until next Wednesday.

Watched: Bee and Puppycat: Lazy in Space 2-7: The island is weird, Bee is weird, the aliens she does odd jobs for are weird, everyone on the island is weird, but Puppycat is actually less weird than in the first episode. But apparently this is actually the second season?! I need to figure that out so I can watch more effectively.

Written: FAIL.
