I never, ever get used to the February deep freeze in this city. It's been -25 to -28 for over a week and it's gonna last for probably another.

Aright. I guess I'm starting a draft 8 of this thing.

Me: I should send that Email

My brain: Yep

Me: I have been trying to send an Email for two hours, you wanna give me any help here

My brain: Nope

re: Ph (~) 

It is entirely possible that putting in earplugs and listening to friends shout excitedly at different volume levels twice a week is not helping out

Ph (~) 

Been noticing a little bit of ringing lately in my right ear and God, I hope I am not going deaf.

Writing Whinging (~) 

Another rejection.

Well, I go on.

I do miss the days when I could post my bad emotions alongside terrible shit-stirring argumentative questions and sincere opinions and work I created, but I broke a significant follower count barrier and past that point you have to change how you approach that site.

I have redone my account as a professional promotional account and it seems to be going okay.

Taking the main column out of Tweetdeck helped!

The Big Gamestop Short Selling Megawhoops 

I have been explaining it to people all day and going "yes, this is all as bumblefuck as it sounds."

Yes, it's sheer lunacy that you can short more stock that is in existence. Yes, shorting stock is betting on a bet. Yes, you can short a short, betting on a bet on a bet. Yes, it really is this abstract and divorced from any theory of labor value. No, you're not losing your marbles for thinking this all sounds profoundly unstable.

First video game in a series: you're like that person in a movie and you're gathering the four crystals and gonna fight the Dark Beast!

Twelfth video game in a series: each of the four crystals represents one of the personality traits of God, who the Dark Beast killed in the prequel game, and the destiny of the Dark Beast is to destroy the universe via heat death unless you fulfill your destiny to kill them by causing the universe to explode via big crunch instead, causing a second big bang

I feel like a raw exposed nerve right now and I'd just about give anything to go out to a movie or go anywhere but these same four walls for the 300th day in a row.

Everyone in my group: (shows up for my game)
Everyone in my group: (plays my game)
Everyone in my group: We love your game
My brain: Mmmm. Do they though

I am rewatching 2019's film adaptation of Little Women and transported away all over again. God, the pacing. The tightness of the editing. The choice of color palettes to denote what era each scene is in. The way a traumatic scene just ends like a traumatic memory does. Gerwig is a director I will buy a ticket for sight unseen.

To the tune of "Sweet Caroline"

re: Weight Management (++) 

I know that I'm pretty and healthy no matter what weight I am, but that aside, I really do have a level I want to get under and somehow I'm that much closer. Wow.

Weight Management (++) 

I didn't weigh in for seven months because I felt like I had put on 20 pounds during COVID, but today I stepped on the scale again.

And somehow I've lost ten pounds.
