the website crapped out on me 90% of the way through so for a few minutes there I thought I wouldn't be able to!

accomplished one of my major weekend goals that required me to do work on my usual "I don't do work" Saturday (not something I can talk about publicly)

just really sad again today

my brain is full of bees

I don't know if I'm getting, like, BETTER at this but I am getting more practice at it.

*looking out window* girl it's like 35 degrees outside put on some PANTS

some of my colleagues have been like, well, when I'm downtown in the evening it doesn't seem that bad and that's because all the grown-ups leave by 9 pm, 10 at the latest, and the drunk youths are just getting started then and it only goes up from there.

it is Friday night AND Halloween and the youth are out in force

Happy Halloween to all those spooky witches out there!!

*grumpily eats Halloween candy and writes 'please redo your AI-written paper' emails*

Happy Space Halloween! ✨🎃

so fancy! <3

back to experimenting with eyeshadow and eyeliner. I want to figure this out!

at least my tetanus booster is up to date.

also how do I get this thing out!!!

a new lifetime low for me is that I have somehow gotten a splinter from a back of onions. an onion splinter. how. is this how I die????

why is there A Sound

for various reasons a bunch of people I follow on Insta have been to Japan this year doing various tourist stuff and it's wild to watch people doing tourist stuff in tourist areas in Japan, since I went there for family reasons lol. (and two days in Nara.) bro, *I* wanted to go to Tokyo! and Disney!

oh my god u.s. shipping from postnord (denmark and sweden) is finally back

devastating burn for Garden City, NY: my colleague has compared it to Sioux City, IA.

this does not happen often for obvious reasons, but it is deeply...SOMETHING...to read all of an author's published pro work AND a big chunk of their fanfic and go "oh yeah that's you, I know from The Themes."

incredible

Steve judging all his Capitol experiences on a scale of "zoo" to "not the fucking zoo."

I have had this computer for a year and I did not know it was a touchscreen??? (Work computer.)

How do so many people pronounce my name as Katarina, where is the extra syllable coming from.

relatable tbh

(I do not know Cressida's actual book background, just what I vaguely remember from the Mockingjay film.) like combo Cressida + Castor + Pollux all together, because I think he does have some kind of avox connection, but I'm not sure he's actually an avox.

my instinct is saying he had a Cressida-type arc, where he was a rising star in the Capitol and then Something Happened and he had a change of heart. not a filmmaker, though, probably.

hmm, abruptly remembered the existence of Stephen Strange, whose arc does NOT lend itself to him being a tribute/Victor. has to be a Capitol defector, does not work otherwise, probably not actually relevant in this story but I need to know these things, you know?
