My eyes are DYING because I decided to make french onion soup today and the farmers market onions ARE SO STRONG GUYS. I'VE GASSED OUT THE HOUSE WITH ONIONS.

On the plus side, temperature has gone back down to manageable levels, yay, I'm functioning again!
On the down side, I'm invited to a barbecue party tomorrow but it's a logistics nightmare, boo I'm not so functioning after all; I might end up not going because Urgh Too Complicated.

I'm alternating cleaning stuff and collapsing in vague nausea on the couch. Bodies are stupid.

But my dress form was finally delivered from UPS purgatory and I'm excited to set it up. And I need to clean up the yard a bit since next weekend I'm gonna get boards for raised beds.

Finishing up The Umbrella Academy. Well, getting at least two more episodes in. Finished the body of my sister's monster. Poor thing can't hold its own head up. :(

My parents came by a couple hours ago to drop off some stuff they had for me and my mom got kind of annoyed with me because I didn't want to stand at the door and talk to her. She was like "but I'm wearing a mask, what's the problem?" Yeah, masks are for when you can't avoid close contact and it's necessary. Standing at the door to talk about dumb stuff we could just as easily talk about on the phone is not necessary. She also didn't understand because she and my dad were just tested (and are negative), but I don't know that I'M negative and asymptomatic spread is a thing, and I refuse to be the reason my parents get sick or die. I'm concerned about her health, and she just acts like I'm overreacting or being paranoid. It's frustrating.

Also, I'm hungry but don't feel like cooking so I'm thinking of just making ramen. :P

I just finished a dinner of orrechiete pasta with peas in tomato sauce with four little garlic pieces thrown in my bowl, am now enjoying a cool glass of Coke, and watching Poltergeist (1982). Will try to read more of this C.S. Lewis book called The Reading Life later.

Resting mostly. Slept in, played with my kitty, watched a few episodes of ATLA, then took a nap. Feel better than I have in a while. Really needed the sleep.

Re: What's going on today?

My uterus hurts but I'm not too mad about it since I've spent the last couple months stressing my period into near nothingness - which just stresses me more. So, the more normal this feels for me (and normal for me is generally unpleasant) the less I stress over it.

I need to manage my anxiety better, is what I'm getting out of this.

Not bad. I got some yummy boba and watched some anime.

Watching Taboo with Tom Hardy. Really nice production values and stage settings.

I am full of suppressed emotion, because my brother just told me that he and his wife are officially Expecting, but of course I can't talk to anyone about it until they've made all the phone calls and announcements they want to. I completely respect this! They get first dibs on all announcements about their lives! But I'm just so fucking excited and I really want to talk about it!!!

Made myself chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. Then I did some yard work: weeding, cleaning the garage gutters, trimming the branches by the back gate. I also completed sewing a mask I had cut out last night. Ran an errand (wearing an older mask). Streamed an episode of classic Hawaii Five-O that was essentially a Scooby Doo plot, lol. Now im making spring rolls while watching Great British Baking Show.

Craving

What have you really been craving or pining for lately? Whether it's a food, an experience, a specific kind of media, what have you really been looking for or seeking out or just thinking about?

What's your kudos/comment/general fic response policy?

[(Anonymous)]

When do you leave kudos, when do you leave a comment? How else do you show your appreciation or disdain for a fic?

Last song you listened to?

Hugo Awards 2020

[(Anonymous)]

So the digital, quarantined, socially-distanced Hugo Awards happened the other day, and the Internet has Thoughts! Thoughts like:
Maybe GRRM could have spoken for less than two hours [https://edfortune.wordpress.com/2020/08/01/worst-hugo-award-ceremony-ever/]? Perhaps by reducing the amount of time he spent praising noted dead fascist John W Campbell [https://www.pretty-terrible.com/george-r-r-martin-2020-hugo-awards/]? Or even just not doing the bit about the imaginary genitals of the Oscar statuettes, which CoNZealand apologised for (but did not edit from the pre-recorded broadcast) [https://twitter.com/CoNZealand/status/1289351907807383553]? Maybe he could have put more effort into pronouncing the names of nominees correctly, and less into rhapsodizing about The Good Old Days [https://thewertzone.blogspot.com/2020/08/the-hugo-awards-2020-or-how-not-to-run.html]?

Who knows. Certainly mistakes were made, for which CoNZealand apologises [https://conzealand.nz/blog/2020/08/01/an-apology-from-the-conzealand-chairs], but GRRM does not [https://twitter.com/GRRMspeaking/status/1289587967086870528].

Wattpad vs FF.net vs AO3

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not going to bother mentioning LJ/comms/archives. They will always be my faves. So I guess mention them if they're relevant to your experience.

How do you feel about each of these repositories for fic?

Wattpad (limited exposure) the ducks I've read there are of the pulpy variety, the kind I likely wouldn't call high quality

FF (years) a plethora of fic, but one must Wade through sewage at times, but I've found some real gems right up my alley. Bonus is that I can edit things if I download as a doc.

Ao3 (years, but less than FF) I feel like the quality is greater, but certain pairings or fandoms I find more material elsewhere.pretty convenient to save, and the tags are pretty useful.

What do you think?
