Jul. 24th, 2020 02:32 amHere are some things for today, in no particular order:
*Went through some papers, which has resulted in a dragon's horde of recycling tossed on my floor. It's extremely dramatic, and going to be a pain in the ass to actually clean up into a paper bag and bring to the recycling bin.
*Also progress is ever-so-slowly being made on the whole papers project thing. Sigh.
*I had lunch outside, and there was delicious rolling thunder as I watched the marbles (I've been rewatching the old marblelympics while watching the current season, I've just about finished the 2018 winter games, which were stunning). I was largely done with lunch when the sky-water started to appear, so I finished my yogurt from the relative safety from the porch and then when that started to get too damp, went inside.
*My hair is in a bunch of skinny braids to make it all wavy later, am happy about this, but man is it actually kinda annoying. I managed to somehow half-pin it (read: pinned it up with the hairstick but then it half-unraveled) which was quite charming and gave me the effect of the long braids without the annoyance of going over my ears and getting in my face.
*Was morose at Ezri. Also cried for a bit this evening. Neither of these things have made me feel long-term better, since the underlying causes tend to boil down to "it's a pandemic, things are fucking terrible".
*I am incredibly fond of the Trogdorization of the Seattle Kraken logo. Also, how fucking badass is "the Kraken" as a sportsteam? Dang! I like hockey, in a vague "not actually following but damn it's pretty to watch" sort of way, and now I can have a favourite hockey team that doesn't make people hate me because Boston.
*I've been reading Shlock Mercenary. One of the incredibly rich things about the internet is that there are webcomics out there with literal decades, plural, of comics at this point. I've been enjoying, over the last couple years, going through and embracing some of these!
( I started talking about webcomics, and like I am wont to do, got excited )
*I am playing a shark clicker game and it's very cute and I'm resolutely not looking anything up about it which means I'm probably doing terribly. I spent way too much time on it yesterday, but today was an alright balance (since good clicker games work best as played in 5 minute increments once an hour or so).
*I should go to bed, which means I should clean my room. Ugh. Maybe I put everything on the floor and clean it tomorrow. Goodnight?

MOOP!
1: The offhand "top five" I tend to name are (in no order): xkcd, Narbonic, Order of the Stick, 1/0 -slash- Leftover Soup, and an ambiguous fifth slot that I fill with various whatever-jumps-to-mind. Really, my all time favourite webcomic *ever* remains Narbonic, which I love enough that when Shaenon kickstarted a reprint drive of the two volume full-story set, I went ahead and purchased a second complete copy, even though it's basically identical. Currently they're lent to Austin and Bee, but seriously, if you wanna read this mad science comic and you need paper, let me know.
2: I thought the other day about maybe trying to make a list of every webcomic that I was caught up with and reading regularly at one point or another, and then decided that that's the crazy talking, and I'm not quite there. I wonder how many comics would be on my list that no one else would remember or know about. Ohmygod, Irritability still exists and is even being updated? As is 21st Century Fox? And Antihero For Hire??? I thought it was exciting when I refound SGVY4, dang, everything is still going! (I wonder if Ghastley is still online...uh...don't search for that one.)
3: Oh! Somewhere between Freefall and OotS, I started re-reading College Roomies From Hell, which was one of my first favourites alongside Sluggy. I read a ton of stuff I remembered, and then a much more ambiguous batch of stuff I sorta remembered and then stuff I mostly didn't remember and then it got Really Dark And Sad and I stopped caring entirely. Which is fascinating, because (see above) I can generally do dark and also crappy.
4: ...which apparently has had a huge site redesign as of June29th and the comic itself is not up again yet. Whoops?
