Tuesday: Q32/WHAT!?

I'm doing work today, getting things accomplished around telecons, and then I see a note that there's an Act 1 preview for Harrow the Ninth.

So I got it, and just now finished it.  I want the whole book, and am sad that it is being delayed by the *all this*.

I made my own screenshot cheatsheet so I could keep track of all the new characters.

Also it looks like Thursday is my day to sell turnips.

• Good.
• Fish prices, because I need a lot of money to rebuild my island.

Saturday: Can I pretend I was productive today?

My goal was to get groceries, and I did that, although I have to stop by the WooriMart tomorrow to buy carrots and leeks, because Wegman's looked like crap, and they don't?? sell??? carrots???/????

And I got a burrito.

Maybe it's just me, but Qdoba burritos seem really liquidy now.

How pissed would you be if you got "veggie chips" instead of candy.

Today I also learned that the reason my car is covered in acorns is because this fuzzy friend can't stuff them in their mouth as fast as they can pull them off the tree.  So them plonk down onto my car.

• What?  This is getting even more delightfully nutso.
• I need to read more of Tamsyn Muir's stories before the next book comes out next year.
• And here are a few more.
• Skies.
• Jessica Cruz arrived after I stopped reading DC comics, so I haven't had much interest, but this is a great scene.

Thursday: A day where everything took way longer than I wanted it to.

So we'll see how much is done by the end of this week.

Accurate.

• Fuckface Thiel is still a piece of shit.
• As are republicans.
• Yes.  An A-Force movie would be great.
• Thin-plate splines.
• Polyharmonic splines, which are the higher-dimensional version.
• Ianthe is just awful.  Just awful.

Wednesday: Testing time.

The least fun part of algorithm development and implementation.

Did I ever discover what befriending the Bear gets you?

• Cops suck.
• I apparently got the right degree, but then got the wrong job.
• I got Ninth House, but it's pretty easy to skew the results.
• Sarah Gailey on magic items.

Monday: Work work work.

I moved offices today, so now I can see outside from my desk.  I forgot to take pictures, however, because I forgot to do that.  Whoops.

I did discover that this picture doesn't count for the quest I'm working on in Pokemon Go.

• Those Star Trek TNG videos from forever ago were made by Andrew Hussie?
• Distance to Tokyo.
• Jezebel's scary story contest.
• Someone else's Gideon the Ninth questions are similar to mine.
• Google Reader.

Thursday: And now it's suddenly autumn?

WTF?

I mean, WTF?

• I'm so surprised.
• I think I'm going to try to start Drawlloween/Inktober this weekend.
• Stardew.
• I really enjoyed Gideon the Ninth.
• Really a lot enjoyed.

Post-first-read Gideon the Ninth questions:

To be updated as I continue read #2:

Saturday: Whoops, I stayed up until 4 again.

And I finished my book, with three days left on this trip.  I was fooled by the baddies, I didn't see one plot twist coming, and my anticipated end played out as I feared.

I cannot wait for the next book in the series.  I have so many unresolved questions that I want answers to.

Finally evolved that jerk.

Austin Night Market.

It was super busy, and none of the booths seemed to be ready for the lines.

Friday: I probably shouldn't have stayed up until 4 reading, but

At least now I know the secret backstory that the book has been keeping, and I have a pretty good idea who the good guys are.  Not bad for there only being ~50 pages left.  The fact that the good guys are who I was hoping they'd be isn't bad either.

Detecting the character that was truly a necromantic construct in their first appearance?  That was a combination of careful reading and dumb luck.

I'm also almost done with this jerk, too.

• AI Inktober.  This makes me want to do it again this year.
• Decorative gourds.
• Goose game.
• Spider-Man will be back with the rest of the universe.
• This makes me think that the showrunners of Legends of Tomorrow just duct-taped all of the other showrunners together, threw them in a van, and threw that van off a cliff.
• A Gideon the Ninth playlist.  I know hardly any of these songs.
