Now what I see is what I get
Jun. 26th, 2025 01:47 amviridian5Today while I was out, a food bank truck at a church was bringing down a pallet that had stacks of large boxes of avocados, maybe 30 or more, and somehow the boxes tipped over sideways. Some hit the street and sent individual avocados flying out across Caldwell and Eliot Avenues. Some boxes fell on top of other boxes and smushed them. In 95F heat and sun. I was so tempted to take a photo, but I figured this guy was already having the worst workday of his life without him seeing me documenting it and knowing I'd show it to other people. (I also feel bad for the people who would've eaten those avocados if not for this accident.)
I wonder how many avocados were salvageable.
Probably not the one that rolled several hundred feet and into the crosswalk at the intersection.
I can only hope someone got the idea to make guacamole out of the wreckage so they're not totally wasted.

Aurendor D&D: Summary for 6/25 Game
Jun. 26th, 2025 12:16 amsettiaiIn tonight's game, ( the rest under a cut for those who don't care. )
And that's where we left off and will be picking up next week for our in-person weekend.
And that's where we left off and will be picking up next week for our in-person weekend.
On the fannish front...
Jun. 25th, 2025 08:08 pmsettiaiOkay, I just have two more days of work to get through, and then I have an entire week off. Nine whole days. The first five of which will hopefully be spent not leaving the hotel if I can manage it, because I desperately need to recharge. I'm even going to try to wash clothes either tomorrow or Friday so that I won't have to leave my suite unless there's an emergency of some type. A complete removal from all human interaction will do me so much good.
I'm hoping to set aside at least a few days to curl up and properly lose myself in video games, probably Baldur's Gate 3 or Dragon Age: The Veilguard although I might try something new. Or maybe something old, like a new Mass Effect playthrough. There are a lots of options. Whatever I go with, I keep saying that I'm going to play video games on the weekend, and then I don't manage it, so I'm really going to try during this break.
I also want to attempt to do some fic writing just for myself. I've had a bad habit of only writing for exchanges lately, but I have a ton of WIPs so it would be nice if I could set aside at least a few hours here and there during the break to work on getting back in the writing habit.
My Wednesday night D&D group is going to be getting together in person to play next weekend. Everyone's flying in on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, and then we're going to jump in around lunchtime on Friday as soon as the last person arrives. Then plan is that we're going to play pretty much the rest of the day on Friday, all day Saturday, and until mid-afternoon on Sunday.

what the mama saw, it was against the law
Jun. 25th, 2025 05:15 pmmusesfoolIn addition to various Spider-Man and Captain America-themed items, I ordered a Batman shirt and a Robin shirt for Baby Miss L and then I was like, but does she know who Batman and Robin even are??? So I went looking for toddler-friendly Bat-stuff, and lo and behold, there is a show called Batwheels on Cartoon Network (and HBO Max) about the Batmobile and other Bat vehicles (the Redbird, Batgirl's bike) coming to life like the toys in Toy Story! With DUKE as ROBIN and CASS as BATGIRL!!! I love this!!! (mainly because I was afraid it was going to be Damian as Robin and Babs as Batgirl and that's just weird.) I don't know if any of the other kids exist, but there is a Batplane they call Wing, so maybe Nightwing is around? I didn't watch it, just read the wiki, but I mentioned it to my niece, so maybe Baby Miss L can get started early on loving Robin, and she can enjoy Tiny Titans when she's a little bit older. (I am still sad and bitter that Tiny Titans was cancelled so unceremoniously because it was the best.)

Jun. 25th, 2025 07:45 pmthawreckaIt turns out that a few years ago Kubo dropped a Bleach oneshot that has updates on old characters, and some new characters and a bunch of lore, and when people asked if he's ever going to add more his response was basically 'I will if people stop nagging me about it'. Never change, Kubo.

I've now watched through episode 220 of Bleach. The pillar fights really are so cool. I love Kira's speech about his weapon, and his squad being about despair. Truly, none more goth. Yumichika v Charlotte was just as stupid and yet cool as I remember it being in the manga, and Hisagi's fight was cooler than I remember. I love Ikkaku's failure and Iba giving him the 'grow up and get the fuck over yourself' speech so much. And Komamura ♥ ♥ Komamura is so good.

They tell me something that I understand
Jun. 25th, 2025 01:57 amviridian5The podiatrist cleared me to get out of the boot and walk about with a compression brace/support and a regular shoe, which is a relief since that boot was monstrously hot in this weather. Also, the fracture crack is about 90% filled in now. She says the ankle will still feel tender for another week or two, that's normal.
She didn't think I needed physical therapy though she asked if I wanted it. Having done physical therapy twice a week since February for the car accident neck stuff, I'm so ready for a break from PT for a while. It sounds like I'm about to be kicked off the no-fault coverage for it, so that's coming soon. I don't have resistance bands, but I know some of the exercises for ankles I could otherwise do at home.
I did tell everybody that it was far from the worst sprain I ever had. I mostly worried about the fractured bone.

"Brothers on a Hotel Bed" by Death Cab for Cutie
For MCU Thor/Loki and Thor & Loki. It twists the song's original meaning a bit, but it's fun for me.

Jun. 24th, 2025 09:10 pmmusesfoolSo this morning I updated the board chair on expected attendance at today's board meeting, and she replied, should we just switch the meeting to zoom entirely, due to the weather? So that is what we did! And as much as I would have liked to have had dinner with Friend L this evening, I was much happier not having to schlep into the city in 101°F heat. The meeting went well, and now I can relax for a few weeks.

Australian Songs I like
Jun. 24th, 2025 05:36 pmalias_sqbrLocal radio station triple J is doing a Hottest 100 of Australian Songs, and I thought it would be fun to make a playlist of Australian songs, in roughly descending order of how much I like them, and then compile my ten votes from there. My actual vote included less white dudes/took into account what was already in the system etc. And I am sure if I made this list on a different day it'd have been different songs!

Jun. 24th, 2025 06:33 pmthawreckaI made it to episode 216 of Bleach! Yes, I did watch the two episodes of filler about Urahara being so bored he creates his own super sentai team. They were not without amusement but they were also… not great. The ~comedic sexual harassment~ thing Honshou Chizuru does isn't funny to me in 2025. I was going to say that KT loves his predatory lesbians, but I guess none in the series come to mind other than Chizuru and Giselle, and of those only Giselle is a villain… Can't tell if that makes it better or worse. But at least these episodes aren't as boring as the Shunsuke Amagai filler arc.
But 215 and 216 are non-filler, yay! Finally getting to see stuff I've wanted to see animated forever and really should have gotten around to when it came out so I wasn't catching up like this. I do wonder if the filler would have been even more annoying if I were watching the series as it came out, though. New opening credits song and animation! Feels like it's all bad shots for the Seireitei pin up calendar. TBH, I liked the previous opening credits better.
Anyway, resumption of the Ulquiorra v Ichigo fight. I do love Ulquiorra, and it's a great fight, and there's some great tension with Orihime.
And the four pillars! My boy Yumichika is back on my screen ♥ ♥ he and Ikkaku are so dumb, I'm enjoying their bits immensely. TBH, I don't remember much of the other pillar fights beyond thinking Kira's misery guts thing got kind of interesting. I don't remember anything about who he fought, though, so even though this part of the story isn't actually new to me, it feels new to me.
On the weekend I caught up with friends for dinner and mentioned I got back into Bleach, and someone made a comment about not liking one of the final pairings of the series and I had to be [jokingly] like 'are we going to have a ship war at this dinner table'. I am 100% Renji/Rukia trash. But it's not really a series for romance, and I can't say I care that much about Bleach ships in general. I have like two ships I care about in Bleach, and all my other opinions are about the fight scenes and outfits and weird nonsense. And the friendships. The high quality dumbass friendships. People try to engage me with their thoughts on Ichigo ships and I'm always like he could have ended up with Kenpachi for all I care, idgaf. And like, Ishida's in a beautiful long term relationship with his sewing kit, I don't care if he ever dates a human being.

Jun. 23rd, 2025 05:37 pmmusesfoolMets just signed a guy named Dicky Lovelady! I am not making this up! Apparently he asked to be called Dicky instead of Richard. I am here for it! (Unless he's a truly terrible pitcher.)
In work news, after a while where I thought I might have to spend tonight baking cupcakes to bring to my board meeting tomorrow, I do not. Whew. I would have done it! But luckily someone else was like, "lol no, I'm buying a cake!" so whew. 😅 But this is the kind of last minute, half-assed nonsense our C suite does. If they had told me last week, I could have added a cake to our catering order, but nope! (Meanwhile, my boss: "Now I'm disappointed we don't get your cupcakes!" Me: "maybe next time I come to the office...")

Jun. 22nd, 2025 11:19 pmyuuagoStuff I did this weekend:
- Went to the physiotherapist. As I suspected, the injury that put me out of judo since the beginning of June was a sprained tendon in the elbow area. Current plan is to rest and recover during summer, and pick up judo again in September when the new season starts. In the meantime, no pushups, planks, or breakfalls for me. (Or carrying heavy groceries with that particular arm for that matter)
- Went to a pride event. Drag brunch put on by the local drag group, the Oil Royals! Some of my acquaintances are involved in that, so it was cool to see them perform. They'll also be performing at the pride festival next Saturday, I think. Anyway, it was nice. I think I'll see if I can coordinate with somebody next time - it was fun by myself, but stuff like this is more fun with somebody else, too.
- Worked on a fic. Felt good. This particular draft is kind of meh, but it has one line that's absolutely amazing. I'm kind of hoping I'll be able to massage the overall result into something that I'll be more satisfied with on the whole. Ain't that always the way.
- I'm going to feel kind of relieved when pride month is over. I've been going to a lot of events, and it's been super fun, but I think I've been over extending myself a bit (and that's after cutting back on some of the things I'd wanted to go to).

Catching Up
Jun. 22nd, 2025 09:37 pmfennectik posting in anime_mangaFinished Grimoire of Zero which stars a very cute little witch in it. It was an enjoyable 12 episode watch.
Trying to finish Season 7 of My Hero Academia which I just started. I see there's the spinoff "Vigilantes" after it. Might try it out.
Another series I started watching after reading a Manga volume of it is Magical Girl Spec Ops Asuka, which is just sheer fanservice with skimpy outfits and a magnitude of bloodiness.
How can Anime girls with such humongous bust size able to be that acrobatic? 🤔
Also trying to finish any other series I started years go in hopes to fill up my Lists I got online. If I can scratch that off my bucket list then at least I've accomplished something in my life.
By the way, had also watched an Anime OAV called Elf 17 which is floating around on youtube. I recommend it.
Patlabor is still one of my top favorites comfort Anime that I have enjoyed

i kicked and screamed, said, "please, don't go"
Jun. 22nd, 2025 08:50 pmmusesfoolI maybe should have rethought making chicken cutlets today, which was one of the hottest days we've had so far and it only looks like it's going to get hotter this week before it cools down, but I did not - they were on sale and I bought them, so I had to cook them as there is no room in my freezer to freeze them!
I did nope out of the extra steps of making chicken parm, though. No need to put the oven on again - I did enough of that yesterday when I baked chocolate banana bread and then made bacon for lunch for several days during the week. I just need to get through Tuesday - our only in-person board meeting this year and gosh, I wish we had talked the CEO out of it since it's supposed to be 97°F on Tuesday, but we did not. Hopefully people show up! (if they don't, that can be the argument against doing it again, at least until we get a new CEO. Their poor showing last September let us convince everyone that we only needed to do it once this year.) And I am meeting Friend L for dinner afterwards, so that should be fun! Next week I have a 3-day work week and then 2 weeks after that, I'm off for a whole week for my birthday week, so really, it's just getting through Tuesday. *deep breaths*
I did not watch the Mets last night and they mashed, so I decided not to watch them again tonight (also ESPN is the worst), which seems like the right decision, since they are being soundly beaten, at least so far. Sigh. I know it's a long season, but couldn't they have saved some of those runs for tonight?
Sigh.
