Much better place now!! Other than my ankle, I’ve got the work life balance more down now!! I’ve been working out before work and going to later night events after. Also the extra socializing from work has really helped lift my mood :)
I done messed up my ankle playing paintball with my buds :0. Wearing shoes that were old and not particularly great for sports and jumping from a decent height while holding a paintgun did my poor foot no good. Cool crutches were acquired though!! And a warning to not walk around for the next week. It’s my first time ever getting an injury on my body like this so it’ll be an interesting experience dealing with in the coming week I’m sure.
Pre ankle swelling I ran into a fan of this blog???? I did not know the people read this but at work a dude recognized me because of my blog and I thought it was so cool :). Very enjoyable experience my one reader.
Ended up playing Imperium again!!! Oh my god this board game is so sick
SMTV:V is still amazing. Turns out I really like Jack Frost and variants. That damn hee-ho got to me. I will be purchasing Jack Frost merch. I will have a bunch of SMT stickers. I will be incorporating hee-ho into my vocabulary.
Read the first 100ish pages of Dust of Dreams while waiting at the ER!! It’s really fun. The snake is such an interesting concept, it feels like a reversed chain of dogs of sorts. The reading of the deck is so exciting. I am in love with King Tehol. Feels good to be back on Letheras.
Re:Zero is entertaining again!!! Season 3 was a lot more fun. Season 2 was pretty cool but 3 specifically has been a lot more enjoyable. It’s definately a show that is at its best when Subaru dies a lot. And the start of season 4? Goddamn phenomenal. The tower is such an interesting obstacle and it feels more confusing than any other arc so far!
“Giving advice to a child is like flinging sand at an obsidian wall. Nothing sticks. The brutal truth is that we each suffer our own lessons—they can’t be danced round. They can’t be slipped past. You cannot gift a child with your scars—they arrive like webs, constricting, suffocating, and that child will struggle and strain until they break. No matter how noble your intent, the only scars that teach them anything are the ones they earn themselves.” Steven Erikson, Dust of Dreams
Very relevant to my own stuborness throughout life. It is childlike in a way and it good to accept that it is something to grow on. While said stuborness has improved, I do tend to want to do things my own way until it explodes in my face. Again also just beautifully written I love these books so damn much.
