It’s so stupid how much petty things matter when you’re already in a bad mood.

[(Anonymous)]

Amen.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel that, op. It's like I'm already having a crappy day, the something else has to go wrong?

[philstar22]

Yup. Or when you haven't slept (which also usually puts you in a bad mood).

[(Anonymous)]

Right?

YUUUUUUUUUP

Stupid writing vent

[(Anonymous)]

I am driving myself goddamn crazy with how bad I am at writing smut. Actually going crazy just trying to write at least one decent sex scene. Aaaaaahhhh

The delivery window for my fridge was 3-7 pm. They showed up at 8:30 am while I was still moving the jungle of enormous potted plants out of the path to the back door. I left them for last so if I threw out my back my house would still be clean, and I thought I had ten hours to do it in.

So now my new fridge is inside my side gate. It's way lighter than the old one (as in, I can actually move it a bit if I push, even without a dolly) but I'm still nervous about getting it on the dolly and back here by myself. At least my house is way closer to clean (I can see the *clean* floor!), and the delivery guys said to call when I got the back gate clear and they'd come get the old one in a couple days.

Downside is I have to get the old one outside myself and it's a) HEAVY and b) wider than all the exterior doors. So I need to find, idk, a hex wrench? The nut/bolt whatever combo that holds the old fridge doors on has a hexagonal protruding bit so I think those get twisted off to remove the doors. I should've asked the delivery guys. Good thing I have tomorrow off.

Contemplating also getting rid of the old living room couch set I hate, but I honestly have no clue how they were brought in, unless whoever did removed the door frames and then put them back once they were in. The only bit that fit outside was the ottoman, so I tossed that last week. There's a couch, loveseat, and armchair, all huge, but relatively lightweight.

... I wonder if I could hire someone to chainsaw them in half? The cat has shredded the already nasty cheap brown pseudosuede and they're old and gross, no one's gonna want them.

In so sick of seeing members of the LGBTQIA community be phobic shitheads to others members but then fall back on "homophobia" when they get called out on it.

No I'm not being homophobic when I call you out for stigmatizing me for being with a man. I'm calling you out on being an asshole.

Why are plots so hard to work out

Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

This is a small silly vent, but the grocery store near me that has actually decent fresh bakery bagels has recently switched to selling "everything" bagels that are just sesame poppyseed. Dammit, where's the minced onion and garlic? Where's the fucking caraway seeds, you bastards?

*Grumpily adds minced onion, garlic, and caraway to shopping list*

My boss is going through a divorce that is completely of his own making (he cheated/midlife crisis/etc) and he's getting REAL FUCKIN MOPEY that people are rallying behind his ex-wife instead of him. I had to work with him today, and not only was he two hours late coming in, but he left two and a half hours later, and he was almost dead-silent with both me AND customers. I'd rather he had fuckin not come in at all. Good lord.

I felt overwhelmed, so I didn’t shower. Then I showered, and now I feel more overwhelmed

[(Anonymous)]

…because there’s, like, a whole layer of gunk that I can only get rid of in tiny little bits that stick to me when I try, and now that I’m actually aware of how dirty I am, I feel like I’ll never be able to get clean. It’s like an extra layer of skin that needs to be flayed (minus the pain of actual flaying, thank god), and I’m not physically or mentally able to do it. I feel overwhelmed by how much seems to need to be done. My only idea is to take, like, ten more showers in the next few days and hope it gradually gets resolved. Does anyone have experience in this area? Will that work? I need non-judgment here, although I accept that I might not get that. As long as there is an answer, one that even someone like me who is capable of not bathing for almost two months can attain. ://///

My anti-vaxx, conspiracy theorist bff said she's considering the covid vaccine because one of the weird YouTubers she follows has taken it!

OH WOW! THAT'S AMAZING!!

For me, I've finally joined a fandom-specific discord this last few months. It's lgbt+ friendly, misogyny-free (or lite, depending on how you view it), and one of the rules is to be chill/nice about ships (not in a pro or anti way, though that's included, but this is a fandom that still has large shipping drama). I'm just so happy to be in a non-toxic anime fandom group.

Baby steps! Woo!

Re: Good things thread

I finally saved enough to order a new Ipod. Super excited. It will be here in a week or so (getting it engraved with my name and phone number in case I lose it takes extra time). I got the largest size and got the Applecare plus warranty so it can be fixed/replaced if something goes wrong.

And I'm currently listening to music, deciding what is going to go on the Ipod when it gets here.

Was able to meet up with my friend to hang out for the first time in weeks and had a pretty good day with her.

For dessert this evening, I cut up a bunch of chilled fruit (grapes, watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple, and banana) into a bowl and spooned a little Nutella on top. It was soooooooo good, the fruit was so sweet and juicy and the Nutella was the perfect accent!

Yay for possibly getting vaccinated, even if she had to go down a crazy rabbit hole first.

Re: Good things thread

Yay for vaccination! My new fridge got delivered so I had to clean my house. I have a ways to go, but I got so much done during the final cleaning frenzy that I'm hopeful I can keep up with housekeeping.

Also the big local native plant sale is back on in person for October after moving online last year.

I'm just glad I'm being productive in fanworks. Hoping some of that will rub off on two of my fics that are 17K words and still needing resolution.

Dune, stillsuits, the movie....

[tabaqui]

So I'm nearly done with Dune, and have to find a single, detailed description of the stillsuits. Paul and Jessica both talk about how they feel to wear one (slick inside, hot), the 'flaps' over the forehead and mouth are briefly mentioned, as is the hood; the nose plugs and catchtube, of course, are mentioned. But other than 'cloudy grey' as the color, and everybody wearing big, flowing robes over them, there is really just no detail.

So why do I keep seeing comments on YouTube and elsewhere about how in the new movie the stillsuits are all 'wrong' and 'horrible' and etc. Do the later books go into more detail?
