Soooo, the weather forecast for the next PoGo Community Day came out and…

Celsius translation:

…Yeah, um, I know I have tropical genes and can take the heat fairly well but, ah… yeah, that’s a bit much even for me, and walking around for three hours in that is probably construed as a Very Bad Idea.

Of course, this forecast is a two-week projection, so there’s every chance in the world it can change–and if it does, I hope it does for the better.

So, I ended up splurging on something I had my heart set on for a long, long time… a Nintendo Switch + Breath of the Wild. I’ve basically just set up the Switch and made sure everything was working and will actually seriously start playing in a week, but in the short time I have been playing, I have managed to–

Accidentally have Link fall off a cliff
Accidentally have Link fall off the Plateau Tower
Botch my first cooking attempt in an incredibly spectacular manner
Feel so guilty over having Link steal eggs from a bird’s nest that I reloaded my save (I love birbs too much to go through with that…)
Mistake the Old Man for a wild boar and shot like a dozen arrows at him before realizing “Oops, that’s not the boar…” (In my defense, his cloak was the same color as the boar’s hide…)

…So yes. It’s a learning curve. But a fun one.

I’ll probably be getting Super Mario Odyssey soon-ish, and the eventual Pokémon game, of course. Splatoon looks interesting, but I have absolutely no knowledge of what it is at all apart from the fact that there are Inklings and Squids. So… what exactly is Splatoon, for anyone out there who’s played it?

Excuse me, but what do you mean that a Carmen-era Rockapella song has suddenly become a meme and I was somehow not aware of this!?

rose-and-bones:

My name is cow
and wen I see
a sign that don’t
apply to me
I laff at dogs
who cannot stray
and with much glee
I skip awae

So I tried that “plan a romance novel and see what kind of muse you have” quiz thing for my Lionheart & Kid novel (as best as I could–not all of the questions worked, but I answered to the best of my abilities) and…

“The more drama, the more heartbreak, the more satisfying the eventual happy ending will be.”

BOY OH BOY, IF THAT AIN’T ME…

I’ve seen that tag thing for “If you could only watch 5 shows for the rest of your life, what you they be?” going around, but rather than just add mine to the tags, here they are…

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Pokémon OS
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
Hogan’s Heroes
Benson

Honorable mention–

My email has a news feed, and this morning, I saw this…

…Pretty sure that is not the image they wanted to put…

…I have two questions: HOW and WHY do we go from freezing/snow to hot, summer thunderstorms in 3.5 days??

For those of you unfamiliar with Fahrenheit:

I’m rewatching The Young Philadelphians since it’s on TCM rn and Robert’s acting in this is just amazing and why did he not win the Oscar for this!?

Stupid Academy did him dirty! 😡

So, a year ago, I had a 500-page Word document that held every single drabble/oneshot I’d ever written. In a bid to be a bit more organized, I divided that 500-page document into different ones for each fandom.

…And now, a year later, my MFU oneshot doc alone is over 400 pages. That’s not including the multichapter fics, either.

…Well then.
