Stuff
Sorry to y'all who may be wondering where I went. I don't seem to post much any more...IDK why, I still spend a lot of time talking to people and writing stupid shit. (Yesterday I spent about an hour writing a fake news article reporting on President Me threatening to throw down with Lindsey Graham, for example.) I'm around on tumblr- most of ( Read more... ) -
Thank you folks
I appreciate your thoughts and well-wishes. My dad is doing fine. The catheter revealed major blockage in one of his arteries, which they addressed with a stent, and minor blockage in a couple other arteries. This is good news, insofar as atherosclerosis is ever good news, because the blockage wasn't bad enough to merit a bypass. I left the ( Read more... ) -
IDEK what to think
My dad went to the hospital Thursday night with chest pain radiating into his jaw and left arm. It subsided with one dose of nitro and his first troponin test said 0, but they kept him overnight and then it went up. His EKG was fine, his echo didn't show any structural damage to his heart, and the troponin was going down, so we hoped he would be ( Read more... ) -
Pinball!
You guys, every damn weekend I sit around and bitch because there's nothing to do. It turns out that for the past year there has been a National Pinball Museum a ten minute bus ride from me and I didn't find out until the day before it closed. :( Sadly the museum came up against the eternal conundrum of the small attraction operator- you need a ( Read more... ) -
What I've been doing this week when I'm not sulking
Playing the alpha of Prison Architect. This is a very incomplete game right now, with only one story mission (a tutorial) and a lot of bugs. Most of the time you're playing in sandbox mode with no long term goals. You are, just as they tell you, paying for a future finished copy of the game, and you get to fuck around with the alpha build as a ( Read more... ) -
Balls to this
I was expecting today to be stressful, but not THIS stressful. Shit went on at work and basically I had to chow down on an enormous bullshit sandwich, as the result of various...institutional failures, let's say. I don't want to talk details even under lock, because it could get me fired with extreme prejudice, so I'll leave it there. My ( Read more... ) -
Does anyone know...
...What happened to luthier?
Their LJ, AO3 and FF.net accounts are gone. Their last fic is being reposted on AO3 under a different name but none of the others are up. -
WHAT THE FUCKBALLS
NBC has a leaked Justice Dept. memo that talks about drone strikes on Americans. Specifically, it outlines the legal contortions necessary to totally ignore the Constitution and the law and let the president murderize anybody he feels like killing at a given time. Spoiler alert: apparently "imminent" doesn't actually mean "imminent." And ( Read more... ) -
Sherlock remix signups are open!
So get your ass over there. THIS MEANS YOU. -
Does anyone have this problem
One of the most frustrating things about cat ownership (and probably pet ownership generally) is that pretty much everything animals do has multiple possible explanations. Loki has an issue with chewing. He's starting chewing cords, which he hasn't done since he was a kitten- but because the main time he does it is when he's trying to wake me up ( Read more... )
