The new thing is live, and even almost kind of works a bit, but I was on a customer call all morning so the rest of the team had to complain about it without me. It’s too bad, as I really feel that complaining is one of my core competencies.
Watched: Ms. Marvel 5-6: Yay, she finally got the costume! And defeated the villains, with the assistance of her non-powered but courageous friends! As is appropriate for the genre. I hope there’s another season
Written: 390 kitten words.
I accomplished pretty much nothing today, but I wrote it off as recovering from last week, so whatever.
The schedule for Big Bad Con is nearing completion, so I guess I’m committed to this folly and need to figure out how to make a point-crawl that doesn’t suck for Dungeon World.
Watched: Ms. Marvel 3-4: That seems like a sudden change on the antagonists’ part, but now it’s time for chase scenes! Also more cute boys for Kamala.
Written: 902 kitten words, but they’re only kitten words, so meh.
I didn’t spring out of bed and go right to Target to get a USB-USB cable (in fact, I never went to Target at all) but I did some writing and some eating and some walking, so I guess that was okay.
I also thought about gaming, because I still would like to run a real campaign, even if a group that could do such a thing would necessarily exclude me. I have setting ideas I could re-use, although they’re all terrible, and I have campaign plot ideas, although they’re also terrible and I couldn’t find the writeup of the conquest of Amber using the Fate system, Born to be Kings, to see if it’s as good as I remember. How does gaming even?
Played: Nothing, Jeremy and Rachel are on their yearly vacation to hide in a hotel in Las Vegas and order room service and do nothing whatsoever until they get thrown out.
Watched: Ms. Marvel ep 2, which was pretty intense. Kamala with a crush is the most ridiculous and also adorable thing, though.
Written: Did a 2-hour cowriting session, because I suddenly had nothing to occupy my day, and wrote 2423 words of an expected 1000. They’re all kitten words, so meh, but they are indisputably words. That left me at 5837/300 for the week, so after a celebratory ice cream (of DEATH) I wrote another 193 words, bringing me to 6030/3000.
Still short-staffed, got a severity 1 case to take up even more time. I have no brain left, because I had so little brain to start with.
Read: Chosen for Power (Lindsay Buroker): Fourth in the series about a mother-and-son of archaeologist in a mage-supremacy dystopia with worldgates and surprise dragons and so much doom. The doom is increasing, but the main characters are (on average) getting more power.
Watched: Ms. Marvel episode 1: Pretty swell! To me, it has a significantly different vibe from the comic, and the main character seems to have a different special effect for her powers (but, in Champions, they might be written up almost the same, it’s hard to tell so far). I think I need younger eyes to get all the background animation, but it’s cool anyway. I did notice the sign with America’s Ass.
Written: 343 kitten words, for a total of 3346/3000 so far this week.
