Had to spend the last week mostly in a hospital to be with a family member who was reckless and got themselves injured by something completely avoidable. The stress of that plus other family members involved's got me exhausted. But we got back home today, so that's nice.
Family issues have been more of a source of conflict over the past few years and since it looks like my grandfather on my mom's side might be passing soon, stress's probably going to be even more so as everyone'll have to get together when it does happen.
I don't have a lot of personal...
Feels like as the days go by I'm waking up every day not feeling the least bit rested even when I actively make efforts to set up a proper sleep schedule.
Seeing news about why the old VA for Bayonetta didn't come back for 3 being Platinum's refusal to pay a proper amount for a voice actor's hard work just more evidence for creative workers often not receiving the same recognition and respect for the way they make their living. Unfortunate, really.
Past few weeks have been wild for my family. Aunt and uncle caught covid first, then my cousins, and now my grandparents. Everyone's doing alright, thankfully, but man it swept through fast.
It's not a resolution to every problem, but it looks like one of the issues my mom was dealing with has a simple fix, so that's somewhat of a relief. Her physical therapist was very helpful, it seems, thankfully.
Well, mom's going in for physical therapy today.
Here's hoping that's successful and that her medical issues (non-life threatening, thankfully) can finally be resolved.
It's been wearing on her so long that she just needs some resolution.
Had to revise my senior thesis because it didn't get a passing grade when I first submitted it. Thankfully, my professor was very generous to let me revise it and I just submitted the revised version.
I feel great because I'm finished the last assignment for my degree but also exhausted to be...
Looking for another supplementary job as I’m getting closer and closer to graduation. Substitute teaching positions have surprisingly low qualifications (at least in the districts near me), so I sent some applications out.
Friend of mine is an author and has been working on her first book for a while.
Put my name in the dedication and I'm honestly not sure how to process that.
I'm touched, honestly.
A lot on my mind recently. Issues in my personal life, what I'll do as my time in college slowly comes to an end, etc. It feels oppressive and freeing at the same time.
I will never not be happy to see new games have actual manuals (even if they are smaller than how game manuals used to be). The Friends of Mineral Town remake comes with one and it's so heccin' nice.
Nothing like an unchained pit bull running at you and growling to scare the hell out of you. Damn neighbors never keeping their dogs inside or on a leash.
Damn near had a panic attack because I misread an assignment's due date as being yesterday instead of next Saturday. Nothing quite like the fear of a late submission to get the blood pumping.
Apparently, the official site for Super Mario Sunshine called Toadsworth her father. Though the game itself and other games have contradicted it, so idk.
Discrimination of any kind is inhumane. Unacceptable. Doesn't matter whatever supposed grounds there is for it. We're all frigging human beings. All equal.
It's interesting how prologue is the common spelling as opposed to prolog, yet analogue is the less common spelling for analog in American English. :suspicious:
I had been stressing like crazy for the past two weeks over an upcoming family trip (family issues there, etc.) I couldn't get out of.
Turns out we won't be going after all. I didn't want COVID concerns to be the reason why, but it's a relief regardless.
That's just how Shigeru Miyamoto is when it comes to narrative in games. He doesn't like it, and does pretty much everything he can to prevent it from being a major aspect of the games he works on.
It's the assumption that he knows what she's thinking that's concerning, whether it's acted on or not. It demonstrates a lack of concern for the boundaries of others.
"May this day bring you peace, tranquility, and harmony."
Very nice bit of positivity offered to me earlier. May the same be true for everyone else as well.
Apparently the vet we took my dog to doesn't know a damn thing about what they're doing.
He's gotten worse over yesterday and today. Can barely stand up and won't eat. I'm just panicking.
He has all the symptoms of Lyme disease which, while mildly reassuring to have an idea of what might...
I finished Attack on Titan (the manga) earlier today. Been tossing around the events of the ending in my head. It's been quite a story to follow. Thoughts on the ending are a bit mixed, tbh.
