hmm. good morning. it's a morning, at least.

Cinnamon candy is good.

went to the doctor because we were feeling sick, and got diagnosed with "acute viral upper respiratory infection"--in other words, a cold. Good to know it's nothing serious, I guess.

just a heads up that rose and I both have no intention of doing any sort of pranks or jokes for april fools day

we just learned that apparently sushi burritos are a thing

HDMI cables can certainly carry a lot of data. I wonder how common it is for people to use them as high-speed data links, because they're such a commodity compared to other controlled-impedance cables

i just realized:

1-3: windows 1, 2, and 3 (3.1 and 3.11 counted as part of 3 here)
4: windows 95
5: windows 98
6: windows ME/2000
7: windows XP
8: windows vista
9: windows 7?????

7???

you ever just want to not have a throat? because ours hurts enough right now that yeah I'd like that

apparently a good way to feel less crap when sick is to go eat a chimichanga.

thought: a ninja whose high evasion stat gets in the way a lot

sitting down for dinner except you evade the chair and land on the floor, ouch

getting into bed for the night and then you evade the mattress and somehow end up underneath it

pushing buttons for the elevator but you evade the buttons you're going for and hit the wrong ones instead

this is horrible timing to get sick

ghhh

feeling too sick and awful to go anywhere but we need toilet paper, there is none left in the apartment, and I don't know what to do x.x

One of the sidequests in Bravely Second left a bad taste in my mouth :x

The major sidequests all present you with a deep problem and ask an ideological question of the player. Most of them are just kind of silly, but this one presents a nation crippled by excessive taxes to the point that basic necessities are absurdly expensive and gives you the option between either: completely eliminate taxes entirely and get rid of welfare completely, or keep things how they are now

both of these are terrible options and it's giving you a false dichotomy, like you can't cut taxes to a reasonable level while still keeping the welfare that's keeping people alive

You'd think a game made as recently as this would address such topics in a nuanced manner, but...

ever have one of those days where you don't do all that much but still feel exhausted afterward? that was our today.
