I cannot stop thinking about "The Last Great American Dynasty"

There's an obscure, independent folk singer-songwriter whose work I've followed since she released a double album debut during the pandemic. It's all moody, introspective pop-folk - acoustic guitar and pianos against the occasional 808 beat.

While I'm clearly not the target audience, there is one song in particular that has stuck with me ever since the very first time I heard it.

Let's discuss.

I think I'm going to pull the plug on my FFN account.

Not only have I not used the site since 2011, but it seems like it's been in steady decline for the past several years; it's riddled with ads and bot accounts posing as "artists" (the PMs are increasing in frequency lately), and I'm concerned about the site eventually getting hacked like 4chan and its user data being strewn across the internet. I don't feel like downloading cURL to see if the PHP is still up to date. I have better things to do than check the pulse of a corpse.

The site just... it sucks. It's garbage. "Pit of voles" is too kind a moniker. I feel gross just logging in. I'll give it a week or so before I start deleting my crusty old fics. Or maybe I'll delete my account in three months, on my 23rd anniversary. Hopefully the site won't get hacked before then.

I totally crashed into a food coma after getting back from a quick bank errand and a side-quest, which involved grabbing a late lunch alone at 5pm. It was my first meal of the day since it was so busy and I didn't have time to eat earlier.

Kurosaki: In-English ako ng waitress, po*a.

Hoshino: Haha! Mukha ka kasing Arabo. Bagay ka sa Dubai.

K: I'll blend well. Gulat s'ya nung nag-Tagalog ako e.

I tried Ashoka once when a friend brought us some Biryani on duty, but I never got to eat at their restaurant because of the parking hassle. The prices were a bit steep, but I get it – quality spices can be pricey.

I had a sweetened Lassi, a Punjabi yoghurt-based smoothie (Php 199) and for lunch, I went with my favourite Indian dish, Rogan Josh (Php 509) – a Kashmiri meat dish cooked in curry with Kashmiri chillies accompanied by a heaping serving of Basmati Rice (Php 199). It was all perfect. The food was so great that I had to commend the owner (a legit Indian migrant, by the way) before leaving. It was just that good and authentic!

I wrote an interactive fic!!! since the first part was already psoted on @27_mswi's twt and the poll is already done,,, I will instead post just the text here and also the results of the poll,, don't worry tho!!! the next part is soon to come so you can just vote for how you want the story to continue there ;)

Enjoy! ^^

——————————————

PART ONE | NEXT

——————————————

The rays of the midday sun seep into a familiar room’s willowy curtains, gently hitting the chiming phone atop the desk near the windows. 

—multiple message notifications pop up on the lock screen under the name “sakiii”. 

A hand quickly grabs the device and deft fingers immediately swipe at the notification block, typing up a reply as the phone unlocks.  

While the phone continues to chime and replies and chats are exchanged, a mop of pink hair flutters as the owner of the mobile opens the room’s door, a happy skip in his step as he exits the dorm and walks out of the campus dormitories. 

Yuuji had made plans with Kugisaki, Fushiguro, and Gojo-sensei last week—more like he was suddenly ordered to clear up his schedule without any preamble, but Yuuji didn’t care and just happily obliged because he originally didn’t have anything planned anyway. He wasn’t told why he needed to do so, though, so he was left to wander over to their meeting place without any context. 

With a hum, Yuuji exits the chat interface and opens his phone’s map, finally reaching the exit of the campus.  

As the warm outside air brushes over tan skin, his phone’s map then loads up directions to the place Yuuji inputted on the search bar. A series of left and right turns that looks akin to a maze pop into his view, and Yuuji prays that he won’t get lost following the guide. 

When he takes a turn for the third time on the fourth intersection he’s passed, Yuuji is met with… a minor inconvenience: an old lady sprawled on the floor with fruits and vegetables littered around her. 

With the time on his phone turning 1:05 PM, slowly nearing the supposed meeting time, Yuuji tilts his head in contemplation and takes a step. 

——————————————

What should Yuuji do next? 1. Walk up to the old lady. OR 2. Turn around and look for another route.

POLL RESULTS: [Option 1] - 100% [Option 2] - 0%

Tropical Weather Outlook

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

200 PM EDT Thu Sep 5 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Northwest Gulf of Mexico:

A large area of showers and thunderstorms continue in association

with a broad area of low pressure interacting with a weak frontal

boundary located over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Upper-level

winds are expected to become less conducive for development by late

Friday and Saturday as another frontal boundary approaches the

system. Although development is unlikely, heavy rainfall is

expected across portions of the northern Gulf Coast during the next

day or so. Additional information on this system can be found in

products issued by your local National Weather Service Forecast

Office.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.

* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

2. Northwestern Atlantic (AL99):

Showers and thunderstorms have become better organized in

association with a non-tropical area of low pressure located a few

hundred miles east of North Carolina, and recent satellite data

indicates the system is producing winds to near gale-force. This

system could acquire some tropical or subtropical characteristics

over the next day or two while it moves generally

north-northeastward, remaining offshore of the northeastern United

States. Once the low moves over cooler waters by early Saturday,

further development is not expected. Additional information on this

system, including gale warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts

issued by the National Weather Service.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.

* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

3. Eastern Tropical Atlantic:

An elongated trough of low pressure over the eastern tropical

Atlantic is producing limited shower activity. Development is not

expected through this weekend while the system moves little. Some

slow development appears possible early next week when the

disturbance begins moving slowly northwestward.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.

* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

4. Northwestern Caribbean Sea and Southwestern Gulf of Mexico:

Shower and thunderstorm activity remains disorganized in

association with a westward-moving tropical wave located over the

western Caribbean Sea. Development is not expected before the

system reaches Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula by early Friday.

Some gradual development is possible late in the weekend into early

next week after the system emerges over the southwestern Gulf of

Mexico.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.

* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

5. Central Tropical Atlantic:

Another tropical wave located a few hundred miles east of the

Leeward Islands is producing limited shower and thunderstorm

activity. Strong upper-level winds are expected to inhibit

development of this system during the next few days while it moves

west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. By early next week,

environmental conditions could become more conducive for some slow

development while the system moves over the southwestern Atlantic

Ocean.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.

* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

High Seas Forecasts are issued by the National Weather Service

there's this pizza parlor that's less than 500 m away from our residents and i really love how delicious but cheap their pizzas are. the most expensive flavor we have to order is around 320 php (around 5.70 usd) for a 14-inch hand tossed pizza. they open around 3 pm and they would sometimes sold out before 6 pm. we only buy maybe once in every one or two months but i sure hope they will continue selling good quality pizza.

i love cooking and i would prefer to cook instead of ordering food but pizza is something i can never make myself so it's really nice to know there's a nearby pizza parlor in our neighborhood. we don't have to pay for delivery since we can pick up the pizza ourselves and it's always served freshly baked. something that i would never get to experience every time i will order on other famous pizza parlors.

Nanood kami ng Rewind sa Fora, Mallari sana yung gusto ko pero ayaw niya. Oks lang naman yung movie for me pero si Ver eh tulo ang luha. Lol. Magkahiwalay kami ng upuan dahil wala ng slot na pwede kaming magkatabi.

Di namin naabutan yung 1:10 PM showing kaya kumain muna kami sa 7 Eleven.

Piktyur nung order kong Cheesy Samgyupsal Set — PHP 149 na yan. Kape at cheese bread naman yung sa kanya. Um-order din ako ng matcha diyan sa B1T1 Takeaway Coffee pero di na lang ako mag-talk. Emz.

Hinintay muna namin matapos yung credits bago lumabas ng sinehan, ang daming tao eh. Also, badtrip pa din ako dun sa tumapak ng sapatos ko sa loob ng bus.

Wala sa piktyur pero bumili ako ng bagong earbuds — Realme ulit yung binili ko. Yung gamit ko dati eh ayaw ng tumunog yung left side.

[robbiemd]

I have finally settled after 36++ hours of travel.

The drive that I have to endure ever f*****g time.

I recently traveled from Manila (MNL) to Puerto Princesa (PPS) via 2Go Travel, on board M/V St. Francis Xavier. It had been over 20 years since I last took a sea voyage. I used to travel this way when I was younger, often with my parents and sister, or with my grandparents and cousins. It was a more affordable option than flying. At that time, budget airlines like Cebu Pacific and AirAsia didn't fly to Puerto Princesa, and Philippine Airlines tickets were quite expensive (over PHP 3,000 for a roundtrip fare in the 1990s).

Fun part was still seeing these kinds of sceneries.

It was the perfect time for a trip by sea. If I'd taken a flight, I would have been delayed by 1-2 days due to the global Microsoft glitch a few days ago. The voyage was supposed to leave at 7 pm but got delayed for five hours. Five hours isn't too bad compared to 1-2 days.

Aboard M/V SFX.

Sea travel alone bored me quite a bit. There was no one to talk to, and all I wanted to do was lie down on my bed, read, study, and take notes. A few strangers tried to talk to me, but I was never good at small talk, so the conversations were terminated after a few exchanges. Apparently, sea travel was a lot better when I was a kid.

I arrived at PPS around 3:30 in the morning of yesterday after a 24-hour travel and a 3-hour stop at the Port of Coron.

Port of Coron. 20 July 2024

After more than a month, I met with my dad and mom so I could get my car. I noticed that my father’s legs have progressed to swelling and oedema, which started more than 6 months ago. I’ve already put him in diuretics and had him undergo tests for several tests to rule out heart, lung, and kidney conditions. Everything was fine except for a mild pulmonary regurgitation on his 2D echo. His Ejection Fraction was good. His AV duplex a few months ago was normal as well. In other words, all tests were inconclusive.

So today, I decided to start him on anticoagulants. I should have started him earlier but DOACs are expensive as hell.

“Iinumin mo ba ito kahit 92 pesos per tab?” I asked him.

“Oo, kung kailangan talaga.”

“Sige, ipa-labs muna kita. I need baseline labs para malaman kung pwede sa’yo yung gamot.”

Sometimes, treating family members can be more challenging than treating regular patients. I'm not sure whether it's due to non-compliance or the comfort of being able to share everything, including bizarre symptoms.

See you again next time, parents.

That's them in front of me.

some updates!

I am officially discharging in one(1) week! it doesn't feel real yet. I am very nervous about being able to maintain recovery long-term, especially because I still supplement multiple times a day to meet my meal plan due to fullness. and occasionally due to poor food quality, lol.

I did try to get my dietitian to compromise on my meal plan because I physically cannot do it and uh. that did not work. I am not surprised. but like girl i am not gonna supplement myself so we gotta figure something out here

i have my first snack pass tomorrow! I've been eligible for like two weeks but I didn't get around to planning anything bc I was procrastinating but I guess it's happening.

speaking of passes, apparently insurance wants me to do a full day pass to get some practice before i leave. technically that's a phase 3 thing (I'm phase 2) but my team said they'd make an exception. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm doing passesbfor the first time literally my last week here but in a way being responsible for one snack and one meal per day on php is kind of a pass?? I guess?? also even if things go horribly wrong on my theoretical day pass it won't affect my discharge date so part of me is like oh?? this means I can use the behaviors?? but I don't Want To Do That. but also I do.

the meal outing today was to the fucking cheesecake factory 😭 like this had to be some form of cruel and unusual punishment. like first of all it's not that good and second of all the menu has the calories listed AND is like 10182552 pages long AND we were required to get cheesecake with our meals. oh, and they took forever so by the time we got back to programming it was literally time for pm snack 😭🙃 they let us supplement with dinner (thank god) bc what the fuck

that being said it actually wasn't horrendous. like we tried to keep conversations going and no one was (that) fucking weird about what they ordered. the anticipatory anxiety was definitely worse than the actual thing. I had very strong compensatory restriction urges BUT I still completed my silly little meal plan soooo

my mood has been lower the past few days which has led to me bedrotting after programming instead of doing anything which in turn makes me feel worse which makes me not want to do anything wh-- anyway I love living with depression and having a brain that just fucking wakes up sad for no reason

I am fully, painfully aware that I will not have access to my weight starting when I discharge and it's freaking me the fuck out. despite me completing the past few weeks my weight has been stable which is incredibly soothing to my silly brain and has made completion so much easier. my weight has changed very little from what I admitted at and I would love to keep it that way. that being said, no one seems to have any idea of what my set point is, and I Cannot just. trust my body to take care of that for me. i feel like if I just Knew my weight and could therefore "make sure" it isn't going up and maintain my ability to reassure myself, then maybe I can do this. maybe.

like I can tolerate my current body and size and weight and even though my body image fluctuates I can always come back to the fact that things haven't really changed. but I can't fucking do that if I dont know the number. also if I know the number I can "fix" things if it starts going up. fucks sake.

anyway. ive spent way too long on this and it's almost midnight.

tldr things are mostly going well and i discharge in a week and I am still a control freak.

[lacepockets]

I made some progress on moving OtGS off WordPress... in that I set up a test site to putz around with a new CMS and learn how to use it. PHP is incredibly foreign and mystifying to me though, so it's a pretty slow process. I think I've been working on this since 6 PM or so and it is now midnight lol

But! I should have everything moved for real in time for the next update, so all is well.
