Saturday: Recovery day

From too much food, from being sick, from not sleeping enough.

From not having both types.

 From not having pho.

From not having shave ice.

A good day.

Friday: Leftovers day

So many leftovers.  So little space in my tummy to cram them in in one sitting.

FINALLY.

Thursday: Thanksgiving

So lots of food.

Some might say too much food.

And I'm coughing, so I've caught the "spending time near kids means you get an upper respiratory infection" plague.

Food was good, though.  I do need to look up how koji works.

• Koji turkey
• Mashed potatoes and gravy
• Cranberry sauce and rolls
• Mashed honeynut squash with sage brown butter.
• stuffing
• Deconstructed green bean casserole, with mushrooms and garlic oil.
• Smashed potatoes with koji turkey drippings
• Roasted carrots with koji turkey drippings
• Brussel sprouts with fish sauce/rice wine vinegar/ancho chili sauce.

Wednesday: Groceries (some more) and food prep

I am tired, and my legs hurt from standing and stirring.

This jerk.

Tuesday: Telecon and sushi

Tomorrow we start cooking.

Yummy sushi.

Monday: Into the Unknown

Today was Frozen 2 day.

It's not as good as the first one, but that's to be expected.  It also wouldn't have been fair to just have Idina Menzel sing for the entire duration.

I'm also not sure I like the fancy food theaters.  It seems a bit much.

I also finished Sandman, after two and a half years of intermittent reading.

• And there was a post-credits scene.

Sunday: A nice day off

More games.

More Pokemon.

Shoe shopping.

Seafood.

Sandman.

Saturday: Austin

Travel, sushi, board games, groceries, menu planning.

A good first day.

Friday: I probably should have gone to sleep instead of playing video games for six hours.

But that's all in the past, and I have to catch my ride to the airport in like four hours.  Yay being awful at travel!

It's been cold, so I had to switch to long sleeves.

Bull.

Eagle.

Ghost shark.

I didn't understand, so I swam out to the enemy boat, climbed on, and murdered until it sank.

• This seems like it underestimates.
• What?
• More press conferences need Vegeta.

Thursday: Surprise telecon.

It was ok.  I think my purpose was to try to convince people that once database issues get sorted out, everything will just work.

Zeus.

I don't feel like futzing with formatting today.  In any case, I completed the "kill animals" quest.

But the temple was all donked up.

I guess you're supposed to know to follow her to a different island?  Maybe batching up the last four animals wasn't the best way to keep up with the story.

She's all grumpy.

My bird is peepy.

And it turned into a "kill me and take my job" kind of thing.  So I quietly left, because I thought we were doing a "friendship" thing.

• And it looks like I didn't even mess up.  That's the "good" ending.
• Really wish music was easier to get across borders.
• This is why they need to be crushed.  So anyone else can take over their party.

Wednesday: It seems like the Tuesday-Wednesday shift is from "week just started" to "week nearly over"

It's weird.  Having travel this weekend also messes things up in my head.

But I stood on a medusa head in the game.

And then tried to figure out why this kid was crying, but it's maybe because their mom ran out at me while I was riding my horse, and so in the interest of "let's not leave this lady running around with a javelin while I loot," stabbed her repeatedly.  The good news: that lady was a bad guy, so it's OK.

• Squirrel Girl.
• Now I want fudge.
• What.

Tuesday: How is it only Tuesday?

Work, TV, video games, soon to try weighted blankets.

TIL you can park your boat in the ocean, so you don't have to swim out like I'm doing here.

No clue what this guy in the cave is doing.

I can't believe "can I hide under the banner" worked.

• WT absolute F?
• I am looking forward to this.
• That's pretty cool.

Monday: Back to work

And I might have finished up the next big project today.  More testing tomorrow, and we'll see.

• They better not push Nimona back anymore.
• Apple+blueberry pie?
• No one cares, Chick-fil-a.  If you only stop being awful to try to make more money, it kind of suggests you still don't care.  And misinterpret your underlying morals entirely, but whtaever.

Sunday: Another lazy day.

Which I guess is good.  Having my groceries delivered before I get out of bed is nice, but super lazy.  Having weird nightmares because I stayed up late playing video games isn't nice, but also a sign that I've been lazy this weekend.

Standing on a minotaur.

The moon.

A whale.

Weird cyclopean architecture.

Saturday: Bought some stuff

Mostly picture frames.

Then the usual stuff.

• We're getting a Shake Shack!
• But Firehouse closed.
• As did all the EL Mennas?

Friday: Spending a day reworking my work environment.

Because everyone yesterday was bragging about their fancy editors, with all kinds of built in junk.  So I looked into things, and updated how I do things too.

1. First up: the work cluster only has emacs 23.  This is old.  Building from scratch didn't work, because there are library incompatibilities.  However, you can install it from conda.  Which seems like overkill, but whatever.
2. This gave me ElDoc mode automatically, which gives argument list help.
3. And then anaconda-mode, which gives completion, help, and reference/definition jumping.
4. Also a cool auto insert/remove debugger statement shortcut.
5. Which led to me adding snippets, particularly one like this, so I could get automatic docstring support on new functions.
6. And I switched from screen to tmux for things, because tmux cooperates better with the work environment, and gives me easy terminal naming.
1. But donks up the shift-pgup scrolling.

We'll see how nice this all plays together next week.  It also makes me want to update all my computers so I can use the same neat tricks everywhere.

Then video games.  Mostly the usual stuff.

Standing on statues.

Standing next to statues.

Then, I'm minding my own business stealing stuff, when some jerk face hires an assassin to back-assassinate me.  Me!  So I killed the other assassin, then:

"Oh, look at me, I'm on a different island, I'm SOOOO safe."

 Fuck you, jerk.  Like that's going to stop me.

I can swim underwater.

I can swim on top of the water.

I can run on land.

And I can jump into the middle of your camp and stab you in your stupid "out to get me" face.

And then I'm right back to standing on statues.

It's a theme.

• New Deadpool with Elsa Bloodstone?
• Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Thursday: I'm going to be so glad to sleep in this weekend.

I'm super tired.

Flappy mole.

• Squirrel Girl has ended.
• And it's sad.
• I'll wait for version two, I think.

Wednesday: At this rate, I'll have all my tickets solved by New Year's.

Even if I do occasionally have to stay an hour late to fix the problem that I made myself.

It also won't stop me from travelling half way across the virtual world to murder some jerk.

• Squirrel Girl has ended.

Tuesday: Again up too late, and I need to get in tomorrow by ten for pair programming

Which suggests I should have waited to merge my ticket this evening, but I really wanted to have it done today as a "problem discovered/analysed/fixed by quitting time" style thing.

And it was snowy this morning.

I'll admit, it's not that snowy.

 Plus when I got home, I found that my Gideon/Harrow the Ninth prints had arrived:

Gideon Nav.

Harrow Nonagesimus.

Then it was reruns of my TV shows, so back to my video game:

Started with me standing on statues again.

Then I took a tour of tiny crap islands with nothing on them.

Met Roxana, who I recognized from my list.

So I did the right thing.

And now I have a new friend.

Except we're both supposed to fight in a giant battle royale thing.  Huh.

I found this at the top of a mountain, and I wonder if I'm coming back to this mountain in the future.

 In any case, we won, and the guy in charge wanted us to fight to the death.  Which we didn't do, because friends.  Also, that guy is a jerk.

So he ended up dead.

 And what happens when you run your death match, and move everyone to Volcano Island for the final battle between friends?

I get angry at your stupid dead body and toss it into the lava.

I have the high ground, motherfucker.

Not quite where I wanted him to end up, but I'm not going down to fix it.

And, I mean, he's on fire.  That's probably sufficient.

I also didn't park my boat here, so I'm going to have to fast travel somewhere tomorrow.  Maybe to "the story"?

• Abigail has a plush?
• Nazi asshole is a nazi.
• Medusa.
