having gender feels again. This is kinda not the best time for it.

apparently it's being a bad sleep night so I might try to roll with that a bit and just be a lump for Wednesday.

The world has changed. I feel it in the water. I smell it in the air. Much that once was, isn't. For there are few now who remember it.

1) the screen on this laptop is probably hosed. This is NOT a good time to have to find a new laptop, but when WAS going to be a good time?

2) I am up thanks to acid reflux.

3) Half-asleep reading a feat in an old Dragon magazine and thinking "what if we didn't carefully measure out movement by squares and instead just threw out bonuses or penalties to hit based on whether someone really hauled ass to attack or retreat" leads to more awake "what if I ran Dungeon World?"

@arakin DEVO: what if we wrote a song about a cute girl, and then jumped up and down?

SOUNDGARDEN: it's about 4 AM, what if we got in the van and drove to Fred Meyers in Federal Way?

most OWoD fans are split on whether Count Chocula is a Ventrue, Tzimisce or even Malkavian, but White Wolf never officially answered this question

Interview 2 down. I REALLY like this one and the interview lasted 30 minutes so maybe I did okay, and now no matter what else happens I feel shaken and weepy. Maybe I should get another food thing.

@frost it’ll happen! When it does it’ll be intimidating and crummy but then you’ll know what it feels like and you can brace for it, or recover from it faster.

@obscurestar I hadn’t thought about that. Instead (and probably related) I’d basically seen it as an emblem of authority (sorta like carrying a sidearm was perceived by South Vietnamese); “I am the good person who holds power and that power’s symbolized by my right to inflict hurt.” So the message was less about “I can do this because you can’t stop me” and more “become a good person with power and you too will be granted the ability to hurt without it being questioned.”

@topaz here’s the “animatic” version, @erin_kitsune introduced me to this;

Here’s the official video I think (so much less compelling to me anyway);

Interview 1 down. Didn’t read like I bombed it - in fact I managed to get “this applicant is funny and easy to be around” responses- but I also don’t think I aced it, either, because it was on the shorter side.

I'll do these job interviews, and then sometime later in the evening I'll have a half edible and listen to music.

wow the actual video for Stealing Sheep's "Shut Eye" is NOT in fact about a coyote nearly being trapped in a town of the dead and escaping only by sheer luck on a passing steam train. As such it's a lot less appealing.

Found a recipe for cu pi dou fu online and made it to get this tofu out of my fridge. Was surprised by how easy it was to bread with corn starch but difficult to dredge.
