40-something neurospicy polyam white queer, any pronouns. Tired. Low on fucks. Writing a space fantasy mecha retelling of wild medieval Arthuriana. (How wild? Four-way makeouts. Medieval literature!) I also write larps.

watching the first episode of enterprise, which i have always ignored, because why not and man, the early-oughts good old boy in the future vibes have BODIED me. this is SO 2001. i am time traveling in ways that are hard to quantify but the visual design is unironically sick

starship modeling funtimes on hold as i style wigs for a larp (contributing some npc costuming) been a loooong time since i did anything with wigs. between this and the ship, my dining room table looks like a craft bomb went off

solid day of working on the cerritos model i’m building for my partner. light blocking done, a lot of bits and bobs painted. a little nervous about the handpaintedness of the transparent stuff (goddd that transparent paint is hard to handle!) but optimistic so far

so tonight’s Star Trek was Conspiracy, and at some point relatively early on, before it was clear, my partner was like “what did they get yeerked” and i consider it a tremendous achievement of self-control that i didn’t react overmuch :D also man, Bev was MVP in that episode!

oooooo the elon musk namedrop in discovery did NOT age well

if i ever dip my toe into the ww2 battleships sector of modeling nonsense, it would be EXCLUSIVELY to paint something in dazzle camoflauge bring on the cubist rainbow ship drag, you cowards

god, it's been a year since i did any serious work on the larp casting app i'm theoretically writing, and i dropped off in the middle of a major update that involved taking apart most of how game creation works staring at my old code wondering if i even know how to do this anymore like

...man, normally when i have insomnia it's because my brain won't shut up. right now, my brain is just like [insert the tv color bar test screen] and my body just will not sleep mrrrrrrrrrrrr

tonight's star trek: at partner's request, because she heard it mentioned, backtracked to Coming of Age and had a good time. also i totally forgot that was heavily foreshadowing Conspiracy. whyyy does Picard's old friend think he might be something else lol

tonight's cooking: forgot to grab a picture. :( sirloin steak, sous vide and then seared at the end, with rice browned in the steak trimmings and parsnip soup. the soup was a failure, but the steak was delicious

oversalted my oatmeal 😣

cooking tonight: green garlic mashed potatoes and sous vide chicken breast topped with braised celeriac in a white wine and cream sauce. meat and veggies from local farms, herbs fresh from the window box

what did Train Guys do before there were trains? (and Car Guys, Plane Guys, Tank Guys, etc) like obviously if you're in a seaside area, you could be a Ship Guy back in the day were they all Horse Guys?

creative block: day number who the hell knows? it was very close to finished so i finally got it

bev, in journey's end: now you be sure to dress warmly on those other planes of existence wesley, in prodigy, years later: sweaters sweaters sweaters 🥹

just watched a video analyzing the history of unicorn legends and it brought up that the unicorn in medieval symbolism was like MEGA ULTRA MACHO and like? makes sense actually it's a racecar with a penis on its head VROOM

SimCity...more like SimGentrification

Filthy casual🐟

right, let's do this. I LIVE this week: need to do edits and tweaks to another larp, along with writing one new character sheet, so as to send out those sheets. I should be able to get it all done in a week if it flows, but i'm also not going to push myself too hard for it #queerwriters

I LIVE....which is to say i finished writing that larp, barely in time, and ran it, and it went pretty well, and now i am exhausted wrote probably 75% of it friday before game >.> i haven't had procrastination this bad on a larp...possibly ever actually

my 24 pound cat just sat on my bag of tortilla chips #lockherup
