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.

Even if I still counted, seems like a terrible idea.

Did some shopping, got one hair cut, went on a stupid walk for my stupid mental and physical health, was otherwise completely useless. Did go to bed (slightly) before midnight for the first time this year, though.

Watched: Jentry Chau vs the Underworld 7-9: Wow, that character just keeps getting more and more untrustworthy. But the truth is coming out, along with more Underworld lore and more boy trouble.

Read (manga): Peach Boy Riverside vol 11-12 (coolkyousinnjya, Johanne): Those guys are everywhere! Also, what is up that one guy? Oh, not what I thought, but still good. Or bad.

Written: 287. Does any of this make any sense? Probably not.

It’s officially Autumn in this hemisphere. Other things happening today: World Rhino Day, Elephant Appreciation Day (why are they on the same day? Elephino!), World Car-Free Day, and National Ice Cream Cone Day. All excellent things!

I did four errands today and also had a bookstore accident, so I guess that was better than yesterday. The cats are provisioned for a while, anyway.

Read: Teeth (Jim Rossignol, Marsh Davies): It is 1780, and you are a gang of daring criminals who have come to the most grotesque, cursed, and monster-infested place in England to accomplish your secret mission while disguised as freelance monster harvesters. If you overstay your one-year permit, or worse, get any of it on you, you’ll be stuck forever. Forged in the Dark, with bonus rules for occult corruption, monster dissection, and cursed pies, and a lot of extremely questionable people, places, things, and… motile things. Definitely not for the squeamish.

Written: 200 exactly.

 

Today I have been successful, by dint of putting only two items on the to-do list.

I should probably be putting more things on the to-do list, though, since as it turns out I will not be out of town Wed-Sun, and instead have to feed myself at home. However, there might be gaming next Sunday, which would be nice.

Read: Chained Soldier vol 1 (Takahiro, Yohei Takemura): No redeeming social value.

Read: Anastasia At Your Service (Lois Lowry): Anastasia has to deal with people who are simultaneously good and not so great, which is confusing, and gets carried away with some plans.

Written: 396 kitten words.

 

Complete uselessness.

Read: “The Chronologist” (Ian R MacLeod): A village with an uncertain relationship to time, a restless young lad, and a predictable outcome.

Read: “The Tale of Ak and Humanity” (Yefim Zozulya): Early Soviet story, very Russian, much purge, excess government, cynicism. Pretty much all atmosphere.

Read: Summer Frost (Blake Crouch): It’s tempting to blame the viewpoint character, but it’s not like she ever had a chance. She was only human.

Words: FAIL
