Monday: Up too late

Which caused me to be later than I wanted to work this morning, and is causing me to be up later than I wanted tonight.  Stupid video games.

Took over a gym on the way to my car.

And then went to Target, bought more than I wanted to at Target, and then found the correct way home from Target.

Then, after TV and dinner, standing on statues:

Aphrodite.

Athena.

Um.

Another lion.

Like a nereid?

Yes, this girl I just helped is building mud friends.

 Because she's an orphan, and maybe has a speech issue, and other kids are jerks?  Like, I have $4500 I'm only going to use for more murder.  Why isn't there a "give the orphan girl a decade's worth of wages" option?  A "I have a boat, and a crew who I don't pay or speak to, but they live on the boat, maybe I can take this girl with us on our murder-spree" option?  A "seriously, I have one option that leads to her making real friends (that isn't me), and if you donk it up, there's no fixing it?  That's dumb, give me something to work with here," option?

Also, you're not allowed to murder her under the Milky Way.

 The witch from the other story?  Oh yeah, you better bet that I murdered her up right.  Then chucked her off the balcony to the street below.  Then picked up her corpse, brought it to my boat, and stuck it next to Herodotus.  Next time I run into a bullshit quest, someone's getting some witch corpse thrown at them.

• Greek myths are good; modern fanfic rewrites are maybe better.
• I kind of like cat pajamas.
• Interesting.  I wish there was better intuition as to how the NN was solving the problem.

Sunday: Another day not leaving the apartment.

Except to take out trash.  And to get the mail.  Stay-in-try-to-relax weekends are pretty nice.  Not having to spend a big chunk of time running around is good.

I also figured out how to get the in game pictures downloaded.

Me on a lion.

Me seeing that I don't cast a shadow.

Me on a Poseidon.

Me in a legendary boar.

Me on a bull.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is basically a travel game, with occasional murder.

• Someone made the Underwater Monk song.
• Sea level rise map.
• Where to get the Assassin's Creed photos I take.

Saturday: The most laziest of days.

Today was the Rooster Teeth charity stream, which I wanted to watch.  I also needed food, though, which caused problems.  Eventually I decided to have lunch delivered (which is super lazy) and then to have groceries delivered as well (also super lazy).  One nice side effect of this is that I haven't had to leave my apartment today.

I did get dishes and trash and laundry done, so it's not been a completely lazy day.  It was also cold out, so that's a good excuse too.

Not this cold, though.

• Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
• Bugs Bunny.
• 
  

Friday: Finishing up a bunch of projects, and having them immediately shot down with review comments.

It's not really that bad, I just was grumpy today.  I had a salad for lunch, and I think that's part of the problem.

Beat up some Rocket goons.

Got more things to collect.

• Gou is cool, I guess?
• Yeah, that's what I would have expected.
• They can use they now, when they think it's appropriate.

Thursday: Almost done.

Tumblr...is doing more dumb useless stuff, and letting regular people make the channels.

And I guess this is different than the other one that's like identical?

My first Mamoswine.

Wednesday: Half way to the weekend.

From Diamond Head, from a decade ago.

That seems fake.

• I mean, that's not a bad reason.
• A new Wayfarer's story.  I guess I'm ordering a new book.
• List of collective names for animals.

Tuesday: Still super sleepy.

Today was election day, so I picked up lunch on the way to the office.

And caught this guy.

 Which meant I could evolve it to

This guy.

 Which completed a quest objection.  Plus I got lucky and was able to repeat my throws so I could complete

Another quest objective.

 Leading to

Some annoyingly difficult "catch a bunch of rare types" things.

• Gawker was murdered.
• I'm annoyed to find cool art only after it's sold out.
• Looks like all my votes won.
• That's kind of cool.  More general snek regression tools like in R.
• I had  no idea that this song existed outside of Marnie.

Monday: I'm super sleepy.

I'm still kind of baffled by this:

This shouldn't be a straight line.

• Bon Appétit Cinematic Universe.
• They insist of destroying everything they bought, don't they.
• Elephants.
• REally what should happen to Lex in any universe.

Sunday: Three day weekends would be better.

Just from the perspective of having another day to sit at home and do nothing.

I had to go out to get a mailing box to send in my Switch controller, though.  That meant the wonders of wandering the office supply store.

 Then home for video games, CW DC shows, and more video games.

And steak for dinner, because they looked good at the store yesterday.

The game made me wait to become anonymous to a bear before I could meditate on the tree.

• Another Sarah Gailey thing to stick in my "to-read" queue.
• This is actually not so bad.

Saturday: I'm doing a good job of relaxing on weekends.

Wake up, get clean, go out to get lunch.

Ramen was the stolen suggestion.

Check some news.

See, this is funny because all the superheros on the Flash that have special powers got them from "Dark Matter".

And then video games.

Promises.

My birb.

Another romance checked off.

Not pictured: How much I fucked up someone else's life completing this quest.  Total Oedipus situation.

And then I avoided the story some more and explored the north.

• Gawker was murdered.

Friday: End of the week.

And images are still broken in blogger.  I should probably think about downloading and self-hosting again.  Sigh.  Since this is mostly just for my own benefit, it's probably equivalent.

• Deadspin is now dead.
• Because of this asshole.

Thursday: Halloween

Another year, another zero trick-or-treaters.  I even saw them as I came home, but whatever.

So this goes to the office tomorrow.

And blogger broke itself, and doesn't load the image loader correctly.

• Yeah, this sounds like the prosecutors are probably racists.
• Baseball.

Wednesday: I didn't exactly finish everything today.

But I only have one more component to fix tomorrow before this week is out of tasks.  Yay productivity!

Boo the grocery store not carrying proper size things of cold brew.  I guess that's on the grocery list for this weekend.

• Jack does something right.
• Plus, like everyone quit today.
• Dracula live blog.

Tuesday: At this rate, I'll have zero things to do at work by the end of the week.

Given that there have been like two people in the office this week, I've had a lot of time to test and fix things.  Maybe if things go well tomorrow, I'll take Thursday as a science day.

An old squirrel picture.

One of the neighborhood squirrels likes to hide on car wheels.  I've seen it three times, once when it dashed away from my car.

• I just thought this was funny.
• But I guess there's a song?
• Gawker is still being murdered.
• I should go look at gargoyles, once it cools off.

Oh also, Tetris:

Invictus is now easier?

And I probably need to send in my joycon to be repaired, because it's frustrating to almost sell my pickaxe every day in Stardew.

Monday: Hardly anyone was at work today.

And Tuesday usually has even fewer.  I guess it's good I don't have much to discuss?

I very quickly discovered I have to park my boat back where I started, because I have to find a quest item before leaving.

• Great that they keep murdering Gawker.
• Another DC CW show?
• Facebook is garbage.
• Libertarians are assholes, and also wrong about everything.

Sunday: This was a reasonably good "do nothing" weekend.

I stayed up extra late last night to play Assassin's Creed, then woke up late to go to the grocery store so I could come home, make queso, and then eat unhealthy amounts of queso while playing more Assassin's Creed.

This lady kindly warned me about the boar after I killed it, making her super helpful.

This lady had a simple quest to do.

And then I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out if I accidentally killed another friend, but it turns out that you have to advance the story for it to trigger.  So I had to push ahead through the story, even though I'm only four levels above where I'm supposed to be.

But I eventually did it, and made another friend.

• I hope the husband ends up in jail for being absolute trash.
• More Adventure Time?  Huh.

Saturday: There goes my plan to stay home all day tomorrow.

"Oh, I'll made queso!  It'll be a fun-day!"

Except queso requires processed cheese, and I don't eat mine fast enough, so mine expired.  A lot expired.  So much that I'm not willing to trust it.  So I have to go get more tomorrow, which sucks.

So I killed a governor, and because I didn't scope things out enough, I did it in full view of like three people.  This caused someone to hire an assassin.  "Ok, that's my job, but whatever," I thought, and killed him.  Which caused a new one to be sent.  And a second.  But I discovered that assassins are like cats: they don't like to get wet.  Hence why I'm standing on the stolen boat.

• Facebook is garbage.
• What's going on in Chile.
• And it's going to donking rain tomorrow?  Ugh.

Friday: Productivity ran into "spend the day trying to fix the thing that should be working."

Ugh.  It's the weekend.  I'm going to go to Target, I'm going to take out recyclables, I'm going to make beef stroganoff.

It turns out my way of playing this game is to randomly stumble upon people, murder them, and then find out later that they were bad guys, so I'm probably ok.

I mean, I literally stumbled across the guy I've "been looking for" this entire chapter.  I saw a cave, I started murdering, he started talking while I murdered him, I got a cutscene afterwards telling me that I'd advanced the story.  I am...maybe not the most heroic hero.

• Apparently Theodosius is someone to blame for things being worse.
• Sarah Gailey poem.
• I like seeing the actual spectra for these lights.

Thursday: I am sleepy today.

Ugh.  At least this week has been productive.  So that's always good.

Someone clearly stole Julie's phone, because she opened my PKMN gift from like six months ago.

And Amazon sent me three notebooks instead of one.  That's a pretty good deal, I guess.

When I was opening the package, two of my coworkers mentioned how nice new office supplies are.  I didn't mention I have a tag just for that.

• That's good.
• It's not a good thing when people think a supervillain could have said your lines.
• This construction story is ridiculous.

Wednesday: I need to not stay up late playing video games.

But I finished Obra Dinn.  It's very good.  I shouldn't have stayed up until 7am playing it, but it's so hard to stop once you start unraveling the mystery.  I want more detective/mystery games like this, where I don't have to worry about fighting or speed.

Or that my bird is off murdering other animals while I'm doing things.
