Thank you! I'm going to have to manage my time better tonight so I get better sleep.

@modernmodron

This is almost worse, it's at-home training for my new job

I was up late last night doing work homework and now I kinda dizzy and blurry today.

Magnificent

@ryusei

It really was, imo. Just not, er, a traditional flavor combination. :P

@maloki

Yes!! Precisely. A lot of the shows I watch have great dialogue, but I tend to watch TV when I'm tired/foggy, so this helps immensely.

I put parmesan in a salad with a spicy peanut vinaigrette

Man, watching shows with subtitles on is massively helpful. I only used to do this for foreign language films, but even with English it helps. It can be really easy to miss audio.

First day at new job. Everyone seems... Really nice. Somewhat regretting not moving to Oakland but that's okay.

@cute_weeds

That sounds about right.

I've been trying to remind myself to move slowly so I can last longer throughout the day, and that the world isn't going to stop if it takes me a little longer to finish something.

@cute_weeds

I mean that sounds like a suboptimal yet hugely relatable situation

@raccoon good luck!! ✨👍🚮🐼

@bunnylyn

But why does it look like that

I'm tipsy and cuddly and maybe wanna kiss girls & enbies ;o

The Hill House protagonist is a similarly timid, single woman with a caretaker job and lack of a solid identity.
Iris (an elderly woman/retired author) is also very clearly based off Shirley Jackson herself.

The acting was great and the atmosphere palpable, but overall more of a nod to literary works than substantial story in of itself.

I watched I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in the House tonight.

There are cinematic allusions to The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, but more than anything it reminded me of Shirley Jackson's work, esp the Haunting of Hill House.

I went for a jog this morning and when I came home, my roommate had fresh-baked cookies waiting for me.

This world is awful but I'm so happy I've been able to enjoy some nice moments.
