☆ This evening was nice. Not too cold. My brother went on a hunting trip and took the German Shorthair Pointer, so we're looking after his Cavalier spaniel while he's away. I took the dog out tonight, and it was just... nice. I don't go out on evening walks much these days, but I probably should, even though it's been getting a little dark around seven. Everyone's got their Halloween decorations out; there's this one house that has like, an eight-foot-tall inflatable grim reaper in front of it, and I don't know whether it's creepy or tacky. A bit of both, really.

☆ I'm coming down with a cold. I was sitting on the bus on the way home, and then suddenly it whacked me upside the head, like a brick. Ugh. Lovely. This is pretty bad, because I can't afford to take time off work - not because of money, but because I'm so busy, even losing one day puts me in a jam. Damn it. Hopefully this will sort itself out over the weekend. I wasn't planning to spend both days in bed, but I very well might... I have all of my sick days left, I haven't used any yet, so it isn't a problem, but I really, really don't want to call in on Monday.

☆ Had been thinking about going to see Crimson Peak on Saturday, but in light of the above, I might need to put it off until next weekend. I've heard people saying mixed things about it - though I haven't been watching too closely because I generally prefer not to be spoiled for horror movies - but eh, even if it's not-so-great, going to the movies is always fun. Well, hopefully next week....

☆ So how about that Kittens Game update, eh? Details are here; remember to backup your save file before you update. I'm really interested in that new storage option; I think it will solve my unobtanium limit problems (for the most part I've been grinding harbours slooowly until I can build more moon bases, which is just - ugh). Also very interested in what effects Kerosene will have. It seems like in a future update, 40k achievement will be the result of accumulated years, rather than years in a single run. And you know what? That might be what finally persuades me to do a reset. Up until now, I haven't really had a desire to, but - I'm still on my first run, and there are some late-game features that I will just never get to if I don't reset (Necrocorns, Leviathans, etc). So, maybe. Also: Autokittens has an update for Kerosene; I had to do some fiddling before I figured out how to add it, since someone dumped it on pastebin without explanation... but here's the code to get it to work, just dump the whole line into a bookmark like usual:
javascript:(function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src='http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=AipEa8yD';})();

☆ Yuletide letter is done and up. Still feel like I'm jumping the gun, but it's one less thing that I have to think about now. I'll probably keep tweaking it, but it's there. Now I can spend my writing time working on other things! Which is great because I still have that aRTD fic that I wanted to finish this month and -- yeahhh it's starting to look like I won't finish it this month. Disappointing. But I'll keep trying. It's not like it's for an exchange, at least, so I don't need to worry too much.

☆ Go look at this gorgeous Lalli fanart by Cerberyusu. Look aaaat iiiiiit, isn't it pretty? (... I hope they have plans to do a similar one of Emil.) (One-track mind, I have it.)
