I am kind of mostly recovered from my trip to Japan by this point. I'm currently getting to sleep at a reasonable time so I'm trying to keep that up, but very rapidly that time is getting later and later and I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing 1AM on the regular again.
Anyway, I took some pictures of the little souvenirs i brought back. Lots of picspam below.
Eventually when I'm done doing all the catchup work I have left for myself I'll unpack and take some pictures of the little souvenirs I bought or something but for now I'm to tired to do basically anything. I don't even know how I'm typing right now honestly.
( Mostly the movies I watched on the plane )
The fandomgiftbox boxes got opened while I was in Japan, so I haven't had a chance to reply to my gifts quite yet. I'm hoping I'll be able to really sit down and read my presents closely this weekend, after work, but I'm super excited that I got an Arthur/Cobb fic and a Widdershins fic that seems to emphasize the husbandness of Whyborne and Griffin, so seems like my gifter tailored their fic to my gushing about their marriage on my journal.
Friday Five
1. Are you superstitious? No, pretty much not at all. The only thing that could maybe be interpreted as a superstition is actually more a manifestation of anxiety or something, believing that when bad things happen I've brought it on myself somehow every time. But I don't believe in pretty much any entity or system that isn't provable or testable.
2. Which superstitions do you believe in and act on? I don't believe in any superstitions, but I kind of like some traditions that are tied to superstitions? Like not gifting knives, and I have a medallion of St. Christopher in my car. But I have it because my mother gave it to me and it makes me think of her love, not because I think it's doing anything.
3. What superstition does someone close to you believe in and act on? I have friends who believe in ghosts, and some who are very intense about astrology. Live and let live.
4. Do you take any extra precautions on Friday the 13th? Nope.
5. Do you secretly judge superstitious people? I guess sometimes against my better self I can get judgemental. When I was younger I was seeking answers and hit Wicca and Catholicism and so on and I would like a lot of superstition or religious stuff to be true, but I just can't believe in it. I do still find a lot of superstition and religion to be interesting, and I like talking to people about what they believe. I have very little tolerance for people who try to insist to me that something is true when they can't prove it though, so I only really get judgemental when someone is trying to argue.
Eugh fuck my life. I've been on a brainless kick recently. The most recent moment was my just straight forgetting that I had a book club meeting last night and I didn't remember until 10PM. I was looking forward to it too. I really hate my brain sometimes. I was so proud that I had remembered I needed to get groceries after forgetting two days in a row, and then forgot to cook some stuff for lunches until I had cooked a bunch of other stuff and didn't want to spend another half hour plus in the kitchen, and then went upstairs and forgot about the meeting. So I'm a little irate.
I was supposed to go to another thing this evening and after getting off work was just... not up to it, so I took a nap instead.
I also ended up buying Wall World, which was a game that I had played during Steam's latest demo event. It was a little more shallow than I was hoping, but for a chill sort of grindy game I liked it. I ended up beating it over the course of about 3 days. There's not much in the way of progression or choice. You just dig out caves and what you get you get, and for a while you're very under powered, and you just keep getting jumps in efficiency as you go. Now that I finished it I don't know if I'll play it again, which is probably a good thing because I ended up playing it till 3 am over the weekend and should probably delete the game from my hard drive to prevent it from happening again.
