I don’t have a car to feed, but I did work anyway.

Watched (live-action TV): Spider-Noir 1.8: The End! That was actually fewer deaths than I was expecting, although most of them were deserved to one degree or another. I’m sure cancelling the show at this point was an extremely fiscal decision, but really, fuck those guys.

Read (short): “The Last Adult Superstore” (John Wiswell): I didn’t even clock the normal meaning of the term initially, so I was perhaps less surprised by the twist. Also, it’s tumblr’s fault.

Written (Geometry for Mutants): 395. Apparently I knew what I wanted to write.

Mwah!

Watched (live-action TV): Spider-Noir 1.7: Setup for the final confrontation. “Get me Ben Reilly.”

Read (manga): The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor vol 7 (Anko Yuzu, Sarasa Nagase, Mitsuya Fuji): A bunch of stuff has wrapped up, but a cunning enemy is still out there working against the main character and her now-husband. Gods rarely make any situation better.

Written (Geometry for Mutants): 178.

Did not accomplish very much in the way of work today, although there was definitely work I should have done. Ugh.

Watched (live-action TV): Spider-Noir 1.5: Finally we get some information about what happened in the war and why Reilly isn’t in that picture and what is going on with the supervillains. Also some people make extremely poor decisions. There were supposed to be further seasons, so this one can’t end in maximum tragedy, but I think some tragedy is very likely at this point.

Written (Geometry for Mutants): 114.

Too hot. I do not approve.

Watched (live-action TV): Spider Noir 1.4: I guess all it takes is one dame to make the PI be a dumbass. He doesn’t deserve Janet.

Read (manga): Rainbows After Storms vol 6-7 (Luka Kobachi): School trip! First fight! Hot-springs episode! Gay panic! The other woman!

I reread way too much Questionable Content and will probably die.

Written (Geometry for Mutants): 137, but also I fixed a bug in my word-counting script, so I get all the words it didn’t count before. No idea how many that is, though. We’ll say it makes up for all the deletions that I feel guilty about counting.

Also, some money, or at least canned food.

Watched (live-action TV): Spider Noir 1.3: Well, that was a whirlwind of betrayal and murder! And we still have five episodes to go!

Read (manga): Common-Sense Monster vol 3 (Warugi Wanai, Shinobu Shinotsuki): More murders, including of major characters. The end!

Read (manga): Breasts Are My Favorite Things In The World! vol 1 (Wakame Konbu): Apparently I already read this, but it was five years ago so it’s not that surprising I don’t remember. Contains no socially redeeming value whatsoever.

Written (Geometry for Mutants): 275.

Did not visit any skyscrapers today. Did get my apartment cleaned.

Watched (live-action TV): Spider Noir 1.2: I realize it was a different, more freewheeling time, but that’s never been superhero best practices, my dude.

Read (manga): Tearmoon Empire vol 3 (Mizu Morino, Nozomu Mochitsuki, Gilse): Timeloop heroine continues failing her way into undeserved success, and new friends, despite some events from the original continuity trying to happen. I liked the first volume, but I’m not sure this is keeping my interest.

Written (Geometry for Mutants): 135.

Stayed home, did some work, had a meeting with a customer.

Watched (live-action TV): Spider Noir 1: Okay, this is hard-boiled! It’s got a PI, it’s got goons, it’s got corruption, it’s got bootleggers, it’s got superpowers, what more can you ask for? Dames, I guess, since the protagonist, major antagonist, and most secondary characters are men. The secretary and the moll are good, though. Better than these dumbass men.

Read (novel): Daggerbound (T Kingfisher): We know from Swordheart that there were at least three swords with people stuck in them, and here’s another one getting pulled out by someone unexpectedly suitable for a romantic plot. In fact it’s a character from the Clocktaur books, but everything you need to know about him is explained. Also gnoles, cultists, giant bugs, the temple of the White Rat, and assorted trauma flashbacks.

Written (Geometry for Mutants): 284.
