How your communiques are going to find me henceforth

#NowReading The Unspeakable Skipton by Pamela Hansford Johnson

It's SO wild to me that this was originally published as just part 1, Last Letters from Hav and then TWENTY YEARS went by before she wrote Hav of the Myrmidons, because that part 2 feels like the whole reason for it to exist. I struggled to get on its wavelength early on but I'm glad I kept with it

I'm not gonna lie to you, I was kind of worried about AI-automated software testing hurting my job as a QA tester, but after seeing it in action for the past 7 or 8 months, I am no longer concerned lmao this tool can't do shit

Some backyard birders might be put off by my legions of song sparrows, but not me. I see them and think “okay, onto step 2 of the plan: teaching them a simple system of hand signals so they will serve as my scouts in battle” obviously

I did not realize we would not be able to use the new bath for 24 hours after they finished so no celebratory bath last night, but tonight.... we're breaking out the bath bombs

FOUR sparrows crowding on the feeder this morning

Monsieur Dumas makes a frequent point of explaining D’Artagnan’s more absurd behaviors by reminding the reader that he is twenty years old and it’s like, you know what, yeah, that’s fair

I would just like to say that I have been doing this for about two months now and 1) I have memorized ten short poems, for reasons still unclear even to me, and 2) it has become abundantly obvious that rhyme is the cheat code of the brain

In better news, my second transplanted rose bush bloomed too, also was not expected to flower this year and also my “hibiscus the size of dinner plates” are here

Today I did some more Collegiate Gothic (PbtA, dark academia, crime) playbook moves; wrote a big list of scene prompts for Moving Out of the Girl Group House (zine game, real life events); and typed up some old notes for Rather Die Than Doubt (3-player Arthurian romantic tragedy) that I forgot about

The sparrows are absolutely showering the mourning dove with seeds that apparently do not meet their own standards and the dove is just happily having dinner rain down on her

when you're on a train of thought and hit a brake like "girl that's crazy, that's the crazy talking" so you try thinking about something else entirely and end up sounding crazy over there too and it's like oh the problem is the thinker not the subject

sometimes mail comes for Greg that has his middle name on it too and I'm like "who the hell is that" it's fine we've only lived together for nine years

The guy working on my bathroom today has the radio on and it is: the good radio station that reminds me I am old now

It’s not really his problem but every time I hear Matt Smith trying to be a serious dragon guy on the dragon show I still just think “oh it’s the fez dweeb”

I'm back here again

Our bathtub and shower are being replaced tomorrow and this is something I've been looking forward to doing basically since we moved into this house four years ago, I'm so excited

I remember being skeptical of this as a child, both with HP and AGAIN a few years later when Twilight-mania was the big thing. 9 years old in the school library begging my friends to try some of the other books I recommended 😔

We had a shopping session in Before the Season Ends today and it ended up being the most "trad"-feeling, min-max-y session I think it is possible to have in this game 😂 absolutely incredible jen-adcock15.itch.io/before-the-s...
