Listening to a group of several parrots complain intermittently about the general situation. Can't tell if they're being serious or not.

rock vs knee 

Whoops, found a rock in the water with my knee. I'm fine though, I've done far, far worse bicycling.

Airport travel, pat downs, anxiety 

At the airport now, through the lines and security checkpoints and pat-downs. Chest not yet large enough to cause more than mild curiosity.

Getting 'sir' a lot, but not minding so far. The point here is just being unobtrusive and invisibly normal. Anxiety is fading, as the only thing left is to get on the plane and get to Hawaii.

When you see "Ye Olde...", for example, that was never meant to be read with a Y sound; the Y is a placeholder for the extinct thorn, and should be read "th".

panic attack 

And my brain just conjured up for me a scenario in which I get on the airplane Saturday, and That Monster and his whole family are on it and I'm trapped in an enclosed space with them for six hours. x..x;

@angrboda Hey, only partway through the latest podcast episode, but I just wanted to say thanks for the postfurry shoutout in there - it made me grin a lot through the drive home!

Can't stop thinking about the movie we saw last night, _Your Name_. So beautiful. So heartwrenching. So well done.

I don't think I'm going to be visiting him again for a while though, not while the kid is around.

babies, stress 

So despite having "parents and kids" as a fairly regular trauma trigger, I managed to spend around an hour tonight in the company of an old high school friends of mine, who is now a father of a small pink baby-like child.

It sucked and was hugely emotionally draining. I didn't freak out and I haven't burst into tears yet, but it was extremely stressful.

And you may find yourself
Behind the controls of a large mech
And you may find yourself in a beautiful space suit
With a beautiful copilot
And you may ask yourself, well
How did I get here?

Slept terribly, had a foot cramp right as I was drifting off that kept me awake for another hour afterward. ugh.

I'm finding it hard to articulate just exactly how much I don't want to go back to work tomorrow. <..<;

New game: Star Wars alien or Cambrian invertebrate?

(This is a recreation of how Opabinia regalis might have looked; it went extinct about 500 million years ago.)

Gonna work on voice training over the year though, so the next time I go to the medieval feast there won't be anybody saying 'my lord' to me.
