building fire, anecdote 

From futilitycloset.com/2012/12/01/:

On visiting the Gold Pavilion Temple in Kyoto, Douglas Adams was impressed at how well the 14th-century structure had weathered the passage of time. His Japanese guide told him that it hadn’t weathered well at all; in fact it had burned to the ground twice in the 20th century.

“So this isn’t the original building?” Adams asked.

“But yes, of course it is.”

Oh good, the crew the landlord hired to redo the brick siding of the house is here.

At 8 am.

On a Saturday.

Making noise.

You haven't had to mow your lawn since all the were-hadrosaurs started moving in to your neighborhood. It's hard to argue with with that part of things, but all the late-night hooting is getting annoying.

Still... it's probably better than half the neighborhood getting drunk and slamming their car doors at 2am.

RPG thoughts (TAZ, no spoilers present I don't think) 

So rolling things around in my head after finishing the Balance arc of The Adventure Zone... Griffin very definitely had a good recovery from a rocky start.

There were things that weren't great and there are things that he didn't handle well at all, but by the time we hit the last 10 or so episodes I was solidly emotionally invested enough for things to start hitting hard.

And I cried my eyes out at the ending too.

It's inspirational in a way. As much as I might criticize some of the presentation, the emotional impact is something that I want to be able to bring out in my games. Even before the endings, I want to tell stories with my players that make us all _feel_ things.

It's why I game - for story and for emotion. You could say for story and song.

Guess who just finished the Balance Arc of the Adventure Zone, and couldn't stop crying for the last 20 minutes?

Is the titular character from Baba Is You another manifestation of The Cornersheep?

Anyway, that's why I can't fall back asleep this morning.

dream fragment, violence, transness undone 

So I faced him down in the middle of this square full of elevators. Managed, somehow, to get him to miss me. Told him he was using the wrong bullets and his gun was going to explode, and he switched to just punching people instead. Somebody with an Australian accent told me it was all fine now, and I should go meet them "at Lake Union" in an hour and a half to get sent back to my world. And then I was all alone and still couldn't find any of my friends.

I dreamed there was a guy with a minigun hunting down my friends (and probably me too) and just slaughtering anybody who got in the way. I was human and I think pre transition, and everybody trans I knew had never transitioned, they seemed unaware that it was even something they had wanted, or could do. Horrifying.

I knew it was just a matter of time before he got me, and it'd probably happen with me jumping in front of someone...

Well, that was a productive day of looking at houses to rent.
