Hooray.

My 200th book was Truth Telling by Michelle Good. Highly recommend, especially for Canadians who take their Indigenous anti-racism seriously. Be prepared to feel uncomfortable, and to sit with some seriously ugly truth.

This is what decision paralysis looks like when you're me.

I'm gonna stay in my room reading and avoid the loud relatives coming to visit.

Lemme tell you, perimenopause, PMDD, AND ADHD your GP refuses to assess you for... Hellish combination.

Unless you've got four legs, fur, and a tail, leave me alone. It's not that hard, I promise.

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Tormented Nexus as a cautionary tale

Social Media CTO: "Don't Create The Torment Nexus" is actually a metaphor for how mean people are to me for wanting to implement the Torment Nexus

During tonight’s Trick-or-Treating, our 3-year-old got more and more excited.

β€œMore houses! More candy!”

Until he suddenly looked to the sky and shouted (verbatim):

β€œCan I eat the moon!?”

Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t, little one. Be the cosmic horror you want to see in the world.

I was just laid off for the second time this year. It's going to be a hard fall and winter. My safety net, as is the case for too many of us especially these days, is the kindness and generosity of friends and strangers. Anything helps.

"oviposition? Is that like... Part of the menstrual cycle?"

The creature is being temporarily moved to a new enclosure for both environmental enrichment and canine companionship, and is greatly enjoying the novelty of being transported.

...I gotta go dogsit for a bit & Dad's driving, which is nice 'cause the hour+ drive to their place is a bitch by myself.

I think folks weirded out by the thought of fucking xenos a) didn't watch the same move I did because xenos fucking characters is the medium in which the point of the movie is made and b) missed the entire not-even-subtext-but-blatently-in-your-face-(literally) design of Geiger's ENTIRE catalogue.

It's Halloween, and the entire first Episode of Scarlet Hollow is free for you to explore on Steam.

Its branching narrative web is so intricate that you'll see less than 15% of the game in a single playthrough.

So get lost for a bit, and see where the road takes you.

Welcome home.

Okay, look, I tried the whole "treat yourself like a creature in a zoo" thing tonight, and not only did it work but it made me smile.

Probably 'cause I was walking around the house saying things like, "the creature's nest is getting cluttered, should probably clean it off so they can sleep better."

Update: finished Scaredy Cat.

Not as bloody as expected, still a good time. Review forthcoming.

Also expect reviews for Fall For Us (Halloween dark romance RH) and Call the Shots (NA college hockey romantica).

I'm at 199/200 books for the year. Go me.

A line graph showing "pages read, last 28 days". Background is dark grey, text is white, and the line is a bright green. There is a spike in the line that is highlighted. The highlight tag indicates 725 pages read on 29 October.

I have not been taking care of myself the last few days.

Like had to force myself out of bed kind of thing. But I did. Even had food! And water!

But hey, I finished 3 books? Or was it 4.... Anyway, depression is a bitch!

Tomorrow I'm due for some serious fur therapy. (Aka cuddling with Lucy.)

But also why the fuck do these girls keep waking up in canoes in the lake?

"Looks like she's the only one left alive," say the cops.

Meanwhile she's having a breakdown over the hallucination? of someone popping out the lake and drowning her.

(I'd have 2 nickels, etc.)

Largely it's been explained as rage at watching his mum die & drowning as a kid. Except maybe he only *nearly* drowned or maybe his mum resurrected him using dark magic. Both have been claimed as canon.

Okay, sure. I'll feel dive into it later, I guess.

These movies are SO bad. The Halloween ones got better depending on which timeline you chose, but I don't know how much Friday the 13th I can take. πŸ˜†

Part 3 is almost over & I've honestly been mostly on my phone because it's *super* not holding my attention.

I also googled Jason's motivation.

Yeah sure, fuck it. Let's have a starting plot line from a zombie horror movie on top of the cyberpunk horror plot line and the political thriller horror plot line and the natural disaster horror plot line. Who even cares anymore?
