Fascists take double effect from psychic attacks today.

I planned to get up at a reasonable hour to practice for the work week, get myself some lunch, then do some shopping and get my cranial filaments shortened, but instead slept in forever and had no lunch. I did manage to run most of the errands.

Watched (anime): Dorohedoro 2.4: More of Nikaido’s backstory, which explains why certain actions were taken in recent episodes. Also, Caiman’s not looking too hot.

Watched (anime): Kill la Kill 3-4: Ryuko discovers the secret to unlocking the power of the magic uniform is a complete lack of modesty. Also, she was totally hitting on Broken-Arm Girl, wasn’t she?

Read (from the shelf): FAIL.

Written (second rewrite of new project): 339.

An entire subgenre of superheroes with time cards and OSHA posters in the break room definitely exists, I have read some of it, but it is not entirely my thing.

Went back to work today, although the office is occupied with the Big Yearly Sales Meeting so I didn’t have to try commuting. I was somewhat functional, but sleepy. The all-hands was about how to extract the maximum money from the AI economy, and I really don’t think there is any. It’s just Nvidia fronting data-center fraudsters money to pay Nvidia for products that make no money. I wish I had spent the past thirty years being neurotypical enough to save and save and save, because I’m not convinced I’m not going to have to retire next year when everything collapses.

Managed to do some cleaning and other household chores, which is good.

Read an essay from famous game designer Jay Dragon reminding me that no amount of blathering about a game by myself is worth anything; games have to be played. Pity I don’t have any gamers.

Watched (anime): Dorohedoro 2.1-3: Still adding to the plot, and the murders, and the horrible bugs, and Caiman’s head exploding with backstory.

Read (manga): Kirio Fan Club vol 1 (Chikyu no Osakana Ponchan): Two high schools who both like the same (ew) boy. There is no sign of them coming to their senses. I bought this because a long time ago I thought the two girls in This Ugly Yet Beautiful World were interesting, but nah.

Written (new project): 226. I finished the first chapter, so I need to figure out what the rest of the story is, and also a title or at least a tag to distinguish it from other projects.

Still too lethargic to get up and log in to work in the morning, but being sick is really boring. Less coughing, so maybe tomorrow I will do the thing. Any thing.

Watched (anime): Dorohedoro 1.10-12 + OAVs: All the plot lines are colliding. The OAVs don’t have any plot, just backstory.

Read (short): The Somewhat Wicked Witch of Brigandale (CM Waggoner): An entry in the “discuss fantasy/fairytale tropes in the commentary on a fairytale story” subgenre. It’s fine, everybody loves witches and their gay adopted sons, but I’m not sure anyone will ever beat Diana Wynne Jones.

Written (new project): 206.

No gaming, since Dave is also sick, so I slept way way in, took a shower with steam to try to clear out my respiratory system, did a little shopping, was mostly useless. Do I have less coughing, though? That would be nice.

Watched (anime): Dorohedoro 1.7-9: All the plotlines are colliding, plus a neighborhood baseball game in the Hole. It is as gruesome as you might expect. Other than that, things seem to be moving to the sorcerers’ world.

Read (novel): Broken Prince (Glynn Stewart): Nth in the Adamant series, switching to the brother of the previous viewpoint character. Plenty of missiles in space. Also pirates.

Read (from the shelf): SICK.

Written (new project): 175. No alien centaurs, not even any sex.

 

I got up to take work handover at the usual work time, fed some cats, and then went back to bed and didn’t wake up for like four hours. So on the one hand, I wasted almost the entire day, but on the other, sleep.

Read (manga): The Invisible Man & His Soon-to-Be Wife vol 6 (Iwatobineko): They are finally living together! Also other people are having lives and babies and stuff.

Watched (anime): Tawawa on Monday 1.1-3: You know how it’s possible to make anime about something other than jiggling? These guys neither. The episodes are only half-length, so it didn’t take as long as it seems to give up.

Watched (anime): Dorohedoro 1.1-3: Messed-up people in a messed-up world with other messed-up people and evil magic and copious murders. The aesthetic is post-apocalyptic, but it seems to be more interdimensional. Not that we have much in the way of backstory, except that magic builds up as the environmental pollutant it looks like, and also sorcerers are dicks.

Written (new project): 258.
