green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

hmm. popcorn time? I guess this is when the "Discourse" meme would be deployed.

on the other hand I have to shove a pill down a cat's throat, and then will probably do daily quests in World of Warcraft, so. *hugs* to all of y'all, I hope that your day improves, even if it is already being awesome, and especially if it isn't. <3

okay! shower, then store! I will do this! *is motivated*

*continues to read newly discovered webcomic*

*leaves computer, continues to read hardcopy book*

I AM NOT GOOD AT MOTIVATION

hmm. I should probably Do Something today, but I have no idea what to do, and I'm somewhat averse to the idea of Doing Something just for the sake of having Done A Thing.

on the other hand I do need suet, the chickadees are getting *really* annoyed with me, and it's a nice day for a walk.

so!
* food
* shower
* venture forth for suet
* ???
* $$$$
* happy chickadees

had to explain "two squirrels enter, one squirrel leaves" to Spouse last night. I have never actually seen Thunderdome so the squirrel thing is the base of the meme as far as my brain's concerned.

zerg zerg
I'm a derg

ow ow ow this spider bite hurts. :| it's not necrotizing or anything, just puffy and red, like a zit. if it doesn't look better by tomorrow I'll definitely go to a medical professional about it, but right now I'm okay treating it at home and just hoping it'll take care of itself. :P

anyway back to Ancillary Mercy, later folks wheeee

also I deadpanned to Spouse that I was basically cosplaying when we went to see the Spiderman movie because I have a visible probably-spider bite on my neck and nearby inflamed lymph node. his reactions to such things are part of why he is and continues to be my Spouse. <3

it deals very intelligently and respectfully with:
* grief
* addiction
* gender assumptions (the default gender is "she" and to this day on re-reading it I still don't know what gender most of the main characters "really" are)
* systematic injustice
* systematic racism

and a whole bunch of other stuff. I would seriously buy a copy of the trilogy and send it to everybody here if I could, it's that damn good.

the main character of Ancillary Justice is an "ancillary," a human body repurposed into being essentially a physical component of a spaceship, who loses the rest of herself, and has to come to terms with being singular, not a spaceship, and what happened to make her that way.

had a very good day, despite early aggravation. went to see the Spiderman movie, which despite not passing the Bechdel test was quite good, and very funny. had a reasonably good lunch at Red Robin, and a very good dinner at home (salmon and rice--plain, but good comfort food), and am now absorbed re-reading the Ancillary Justice series, which btw I unreservedly and wholeheartedly recommend to everybody reading this, *yes I mean you in particular*.

omfg so fucking aggravated (no not about you or anything to do with you) way beyond what would reasonably be called for ararrrarrarararrfgggghghalkdhfgakerhaquerfghiaulefrghaeurghluiearhg

so I gave the dream a happy ending where I drove off in a convertible with a guardian angel-dog-wolf and laughed at the person I'd been angsting about as they suffered a humorous downfall because of their actions. and then woke up trying to come up with a name for the angel-dog-wolf. I got as far as "Lux-something-Latin-maybe?"

this following a dream where I was being INCREDIBLY ANGSTY (because my emotions are always super-amplified in dreams) about not getting the kind of attention I wanted from someone, and in the dream I was complaining that I felt weirdly tired and dreamlike, and I was worried that I'd hurt myself or something because of it, and then woke up a bit more and realized I had that dreamlike feeling BECAUSE I WAS IN FACT DREAMING.

ow. have what feels like an inflamed lymph node in the back of my jawbone, about two inches above what feels like a nasty bug bite on my neck. YAYMORNINGYAY
