Aha, they have been defeated! Through a means I already forgot. I think maybe app settings. Which is weird cuz I'm on a browser window. But mission complete.

I'm kinda dopey-tired, but groceries are coming soon-ish.

I'm still so not used to the dropdown orange boxes..

I kinda wanna shoo them away. I should see if that's a preference.

hi-woo!

Still don't have an avatar.. Humf. People will start thinking of me as a very pale emoji at this rate.

First attempt at a back flange for this jacket toile. Happy with how this turned out, doubly so given I couldn't find a tutorial for how to do one and had to wing it. Think I'll add a bit of length, but it depends on how I take in/out the rest of the garment during fitting (a few last stitches to make, some basic-cheap interfacing to give approximate shape for fitting, etc)

But the principle is sound and dang it looks suave even if the rest of the toile isn't finished yet.

Food, Cookies 

Searching for "Hard Cookies" will just get you page after page of

"How to soften hard cookies"
"How do I stop cookies going hard?"
"Cookies too hard??"

Food, Cookies 

Okay so

We're talking about cookies and "Hard" vs "Soft"

and "Crunchy" vs "Chewy"

and

I like crunchy cookies that aren't like, wafer-crackle-snap-crunch. Something dry and not limp or oily but you can bite into it, there's not just "Ok I snap now"

And the best word I have is 'Cronch' and that's really annoying sibby but they can't think of a better word either

The answer to this is just to pirate more audiobooks, ofc

I wish there were more RPG podcasts that don't derive the vast majority of their humour from "The player characters are all awful people to 99% of NPCs"

Man

Looking down Wired's list of podcasts is just

- Social Anxiety Cringe Fuel
- Bleak Awful Stuff Happening
- Bleak Awful Stuff that Happened Historically
- C-List Libertarian Sleb + Topic of the Week = ~Incisive and Thought Provoking~

Watching Rogue One. (Just in the starting minutes so far) 

Hannibal has trained a strong response in our head of "No what are you doing this talking to him?? This is a terrible idea GET AWAY" to anyone talking to Mads Mikkelsen, ever, so seeing him as a Jedi is really weird.

(...) I think Demolition Man by Grace Jones is probably the best fit for "sum up this character in one song". Also it fits one of Sekhmet*'s key pop-icon influences (Grace Jones), and uh it's an amazing song: youtube.com/watch?v=WwUsuf15P3

(Warm Leatherette by GJ is a close second. "Bad Girls" by MIA and "Oh No" by Marisa & the Diamonds crossed my mind too)

c) Keiron rlly missed a mega pun by not including "Chase The Devil"/"Out of Space". :p

The Wicked + The Divine thoughts (no spoilers) 

I was thinking about the K.Gillen article asking about the Spotify Playlist (Article: pastemagazine.com/articles/201 , Playlist: open.spotify.com/user/missadal , non Spotify link: imgur.com/a/WI3Kn ).

a) Gosh I love that playlist, it meshes so well with the entire "Pop as Emotion & as Cultural History" theme.

b) He mentions not really having a Sahkmet song.. And we've been passively chewing over that since NY read thru to current a few nights ago. (...)

It feels like a good game though. Different enough from other fighting games. I like the deck customization aspect, and anything where you get to dress ludicrously and bow to everyone is my kinda thing

I uh that came out wrong, I meant like

Blade Symphony, Dark Souls, "We're going to fight but it's friendly and we respect each other" bowing.

I do not have a good avatar.. Humf. I should really fix that.
