An assortment of house stuff and media!

[spindizzy]

I RETURN... KINDA TRIUMPHANT! My laptop has been repaired! I think the problem was the charging pin in the laptop, but I officially do not care because my laptop has returned from the war! *clings to it*

• I was thinking that I was doing really well at the whole not pressuring myself to be Idealised Susan who can complete twelve tasks an hour or whatever, and then I took my laptop into the shop and realised that I was relieved to have an excuse for not finishing all of the things on my list. Huh. Maybe need to work on that a little more.


• House-buying is still going! We've got a home survey and some environmental stuff to look into this week, but we're getting closer! I think we're about seven weeks into the process, so fingers crossed that we'll get it sorted before September.


• ... Speaking of house stuff: one corner of the sofa collapsed, so I very classily shored it up with a brick.


• LexGarrett has gone back to the office, which means that there's now entire portions of the day where I am NOT BEING PERCEIVED! And as I can apparently only do housework while not being perceived, the house is miraculously getting cleaner? And the bramble bush that was starting to reach the pavement in front of the house has been beaten back? Such a weird co-incidence.


• I finally got around to watching the version of Hamilton on Disney+, and fuck! It's so good! I knew it was gonna be, because I own the soundtrack and saw the London version, but fuck! ... So obviously my brain has been hitting shuffle on the soundtrack for like. A week. And I found a collection of deleted/rewritten songs that included some I'd not heard before, and now I just need an audioclip of "I gotta stop a homicide!" I'll get right on that after I remember to do one for the "You've invented a new kind of stupid" speech.


• LexGarrett lured me back into Fate/Grand Order because they were running a convention event – as in, the characters go to a convention and form a doujinshi circle. One of the rival circles is run by Katsushika Oui, who is definitely drawing betentacled smut. One of the bosses is DEADLINE with the special attack BLUE SCREEN, because this game was made by people who have Been There. ... It made me homesick for conventions. I don't necessarily want to go to panels! I just want to hug my friends and buy fan-made merch and zines. ;________________________;


• I tried not to retweet this whole entire thread about what having ADHD is like, but I relate to more of them than I don't. Thanks, Can't Sit Still Disease!


• Got back into playing Sims again, which USUALLY means that my life is on fire. >_> IGNORING THAT, I rediscovered my 100 Babies challenge file, and oh boy that's a mess. A very loud mess. With only one bathroom. It's fun! Just very slow going now it's an eight person household. =_=


• Friends who do 4thewords: they're running another user survey! This one's more about the actual writing and how you use the game, so might be useful? And it's all tickboxes instead of essay questions like the last one. ... Maybe I shouldn't have written essays in that last one. TOO BAD.


• I finished July with like fourteen half-written posts and projects, so I guess my goal for August is to finish some of them! (و •̀ ᴗ •́ )و If nothing else, I have a LOT of shrieking about My Next Life as a Villainess X to do, because W H A T. And LexGarrett is back in the office, so I have my desk back. And the current 4tw event ends tomorrow and I don't know how many of the cool underwater beasties will be sticking around. So. Uh. See you on the other side of the war, I guess! Bye sweetpeas, stay safe and be well! ♥
