when the city goes silent, the ringing in my ears gets violent

song+ Jet Pack Blues -Fall Out Boy -American Beauty American Psycho
book+ nothing
quest+ figuring out at-home productivity
upper+ the weather's been nice this week?
downer+ no more game day on Sundays
attire+ pajamas, yo
drink+ milk

so there was the latest in an off-and on string of difficulty and drama at the game store, and the long and short of it is that Warmachine Sundays will no longer be happening there, leaving my weekends more free, but removing somewhat-dependable time to work on my various projects.

i picked up on muffin-baking again this week. i used up the strawberries i brought home from mom's in pretty basic muffins, then yesterday i tried out (sour cream) chocolate-butterscotch muffins. successful overall, i love the butterscotch chips, they add just the right level of interest to the chocolate muffins themselves. the sour cream and syrup muffins have a light texture to them that i really enjoy.

lately i've been wanting to play something new, but that's a problem because a) i have no idea what new thing i want to play, and b) i have no money to acquire said new thing once i figure it out. so i've been looking to my standby: replaying lesser-played games, but even then i don't really know what i'd rather play. i could work on one of my several in-progress perfect files, or i could redo one of the shorter handheld games i own. vague urges are the worst.

catch the moon, one-handed catch

song+ Something's Coming -West Side Story
book+ nothing
quest+ uh, picking back up on the Pokedex Challenge
upper+ it's good to be home again
downer+ nothing in particular?
attire+ black pants and a Mario tee
drink+ water

so this isn't going up as it's written since i'm still at mom's pretty much internet-less, but it'll be ready to go when i get home again, so it's all okay.

i've been here since Tuesday house sitting while mom went to go be a good supportive grandparent and see Ren's choir concert somewhere up north that i was definitely told, but have already forgotten. one of those north-ish colder states taht starts with an M.

i got a fair bit done this week, so it was good, even being without access to the websites i usually spend my days on. i got something like half my total volume of MH/EAH pieces painted, and i caught up on two shows i'd fallen behind on when Kyu lost interest. i also re-watched several things for background noise as i worked. the only hiccup was partway through the week when i lost track of what day it was and had to double-check with Kyu, it was Friday.

mom's home again though, has been for a little under two hours, and we're both likely to go to bed soon with the intention of getting up early(ish) tomorrow to get things done.

the minutes seem like hours, the hours go so slowly

song+ Tonight -West Side Story
book+ the muffin cookbook
quest+ uh, i'll think of something?
upper+ bacon is delicious
downer+ i learned today i'm allergic to watermelon
attire+ black pants and an Iron Man tee
drink+ water

i started drafting this then got distracted catching up on all the internet-stuff i missed at mom's this weekend. oops.

it was a good weekend, stuff got done, laughs were had. my brain is in that spacey zone where it's a little difficult to string words together. there's stuff i wanna say, but i can't seem to remember what that stuff is, and that's a really annoying feeling. ugh. maybe i'll do better next week.

you're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul

song+ Jar of Hearts -Christina Perri -Lovestrong
book+ nothing presently
quest+ getting more MH/EAH stuff painted
upper+ i have a lot ready to seal
downer+ the weather is TERRIBLE for spraying anything
attire+ leggings, shorts and a Thor tee
drink+ Dr Pepper

i spent the weekend with mom after quilt club and a lot got done. when i got home today i made it up to the last hour or so of game day too. now i'm kinda tired though.

my legs are super sore, like everything below my hips is achey. all weekend i was moving so i didn't really feel the workout i was getting, but now that i'm at home sitting, i'm definitely feeling it. i'll likely try and stretch it out some in a minute, because the last thing i want is cramping waking me up at like 3 am.

this week is likely to be spent playing with muffin recipes and figuring out just what i want to take along when i'm at mom's for an extended time later this month. like i'll have a week to fill, i'm pretty sure that's time to make strides on more than one thing, so long as i prepare adequately.

satisfaction kills, but curiosity brings me back

song+ Light the Fire Up in the Night -Persona Q
book+ nothing presently
quest+ playing the crap out of Persona Q
upper+ i've reached the end of one side's story mode
downer+ i totally lost track of time again
attire+ pajamas
drink+ water

i'm a day late on this. i didn't go to game day yesterday, i stayed home and slept in, then played Persona Q all day and it wasn't until today i realized that meant i hadn't posted at all. oops.

really most of this week has been devoted to playing Persona Q. my end-game file is at level 80, with 71 hours, 34 minutes, and i KNOW i still have to grind further to be able to fuse the things i need to earn the best weapons for everyone. that's what i'm likely to spend the next few days doing, then i'll finish the story and on a New Game Plus i'll just carry all my complete EVERYTHING over and steamroll that side of the story. yay!

but yeah, not dead or anything, just insanely distracted.
