Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

After having difficulty getting a Christmas gift card to work, I impulsively bought a few games and a stuffed tiger on Amazon just to get the damn thing out of the way.

Now I'm doing admin work for Phoenix Comics that requires pulling a lot of MSRP and package-size data from Amazon... and my ad banners are now consistently festooned with plush tigers.

This is the only time in my entire life that targeted marketing has ever made me smile.

But I still have more than enough fucking cats. :)

Small updates to my "commonplace book" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonplace_book ), so I might as well reshare the link!

> somehow made it legitimate

(illegitimate, rather)

Okay, so a month or two back, @anthracite and I were talking about words, and I bitched about the fact that "polyamory" was half Greek- and half Latin- derived, as if that somehow made it legitimate. Peg made a case that there was nothing wrong with that, and I kind of blew her off.

Tonight I ran across https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_word and realized such words are VERY common and clearly valid.

I hope you can all forgive me, especially my longsuffering partner. ;) <3

Aspirations for 2018: become exactly the same class of asshole as Alan Resnick.

rickrolling: still super fun

currently singing barbara streisand's "people who need people" with every word replaced with a variant of "butt satchel."

clearly there is some factor that is not available to my brain in ohio and it ran out completely sometime within the last hour, making hard for brain still to smart good -_-

wanna go home

I go to bed tonight deeply disappointed in humanity, but about $250 richer.

The two are fortunately unrelated. :>

Somehow I envisioned that entire rant as if you were a Wes Anderson character, sitting at a table with your hands folded sincerely, in an elegant bed and breakfast entirely appointed in bright orange, with a caption reading "SUPERIOR TO VORE" under you in a quirky but tasteful sans serif font.

With a scarf. A very very pastel scarf.

but ha ha no seriously kinkshaming will get my 25+ years of trollbaiting skills dumped straight on your pointy little head if i'm not in a merciful mood

bitch, these hooves are more than just repositories for glitter and enamel

Now, @anthracite​ was, of course, entirely Gracious about canceling the hold, and I finally at least got a straight answer from the doctor's office. ("No.") And I confirmed I have one more round of pill refills left before I have to worry about it, so I have a month to work the insurance out.

I might hit people up soon for physician recs, but right now I'm just gazing vacantly at my empty drawer of metaphorical spoons, and waiting for my stomach to settle from all the stress.

ONE MORE DAY STUCK IN OHIO. I leave Friday.

Just in time. I adore my parents and they are so kind to me, but my mom and I start to get a bit... Italian at each other if we're cooped up for more than a week, especially if there's any stress whatsoever.

And I've been going crazy today sorting out my insurance in the wake of my PCP retiring-- and taking my special under-the-table Medicaid deal with him... the same week Peg impulsively decided to hold all our mail. :O

It's just as bad as Venkman predicted.

also i think it's much funnier if anubis is played absolutely straight in every other way, noble and unswerving (literally, it's a damn car race) and utterly terrifying in his motorist gloves and helmet -- but once every 5 or 6 episodes he snickers at something and out comes muttley

(this is also partially inspired by Syfy's "Blood Drive" which is not good necessarily but is far far more entertaining than a basic cable series that's a homage to grindhouse films had ANY right to be)
