Those Skam reunion pics make me smile. I really enjoyed that show back in the day. It was so... unique.

Maybe that's what I should do a rewatch of one of these days. I've abandoned a rewatch attempt or two but I do really want to get to a rewatch of the later seasons.

(Noora and William were my OTP but I remember Isak and Evan being beautiful and Eva and guy Chris should've ended up together...)

Maybe I'll think about a Skam rewatch... But I am gaming a lot these days... (There are SO many good games that came out in June. Like before June was dry but I bought 4 games, plus I want to play the Supermarket Sim 1.0).

I'm such a nerd for Star Wars maps(And other supplemental stuff). I didn't look at quite as much as I wanted because it's a Wednesday so I walked into 66 emails+ received like 10-15 as the day went on but I love maps. I love seeing how far apart things are. Where things are in the galaxy.

And it's all freeeeeeeeeee.

And they'll update it as time goes on.

So I can look at it. I can save it and write on it and highlight planets by trilogy and Rebels and add my favorite book planets.

I just really enjoy nerding about Star Wars and I can't be nerdy like that over 911.

I'm glaring at the fact that that map does not have a dot for Telos on it. It's listed on the index of planets and has a grid space(Q-4) and in Legends it was smack dab on the Hydian Way(I got the name right!) which still passes through Q4 in the new map but still.

Glaring.

Lol I know there's way too many planets to add. The index is like 59 pages long. I can't wait to deep dive into it. I wish I could edit it and say okay here's X here's Y okay here's a dot for Telos here's...

I have mixed feelings on this.

Because A. What do you MEAN Exegol is right next to Rapaacc in Chiss and Friends space? Is Ungali safe?

Also B. I feel like oddly it works. Like we know Palpatine grilled Thrawn on the Unknown Regions. And Thrawn shared about the gysks-but what else? And maybe by that point Palpatine knew that this was the area surrounding Exegol.

Maybe that's why he tolerated Thrawn. Not for Anakin but for information about the space around Exegol. The weaknesses of those around, if they were to ever get too close. How to conquer them if he suceeded in this part of the galaxy.

Like oddly enough it puts this Palpatine in perspective.

I bet there's some darkness hiding the planet from navigators and Skywalkers though and it's just a particular hard part of the Chaos to navigate.

I'm not thrilled but it can work ya know.

(But also I'm so worried for Eli and Vah'nya and Un'hee and Ar'alani now)

I don't want to say bye to Nascar on Prime :< Best Nascar coverage ever. It's great to see the coverage we get when it's based on love, not greed, not ratings, not top sports casters just getting another paycheck.

They'll be back next year but the entire production is SO good and I just want to stay here.

At least most of the booth/reporters/etc will stay on for five more races on TNT and then *sigh* NBC. But no Carl Edwards on TNT.

I know none of ya'll have any idea what I'm rambling about. Just my favorite sport finally has good coverage.

It is 93 feels like 105, we are like one notch away from extreme humidity, and winds are 25 MPH. It SUCKS. Even stepping into the back hall to toss away recyclables is like stepping into a wall of wet heat.

Thankfully we did chasing last night.

So idk if I told ya'll our landlord is selling the house. We(my parents, my sister, and I) live in a duplex that my parents have been in for almost 40 years. My entire life is here.

Obviously you know the risk with renting.

He accepted today. After the first open house. We have about two months to move. (And our landlord was one of the best on the planet, albeit a bit cheap when it came to maintenance but we never suffered he just used my dad or the neighbor vs hiring actual people)

I knew it was likely coming and it could be for the best(An extra bedroom, less stairs for my mom with bad knees and sister with MS) I just. Am very disassociated.

But also do I have any right to be sad? Like we're renters. Every fucking day in this house was temporary.

But this is where I was taken after I got home after the Nicu. This is where I learned all my baby and early childhood stuff. This is where I played with friends and sleepovers. Where I played. Where I applied for colleges and jobs. Got my acceptance letter. Where I cried and dreamed. My safe haven during covid.

Like my entire life was this house. I'm so sad. But that's the risk of renting. So like. Do I have any right to be sad?

Of course I do but like idk

The accent on Laurent's name in the audiobook is no surprise but I never said it this way and I need to get to used to it.

But my god the first meeting. Laurent knowing this "slave" is his brother's murderer and neither of them saying anything.

I love it so much

[spectres-fulcrum]

That's how Akielos is pronounced????? Audiobooks can make you question your entire fandom life

I took my first hour of pto and left an hour early because we're headed up to my cousin's place. Atm it's an almost five hour drive but then add a couple stops for bathroom, dinner, and I want to change into shorts vs blue jeans and a looser shirt at a kwik trip, plus get some snacks.

My plan for the trip is I fooled my brain out of wanting a Switch 2/Mario Kart World by finally buying a new Switch game and the MK8 DLC with birthday money. Also I have Captive Prince on audiobook to listen to. (I loved CaPri long before it got big)

I also have fanfic to read and all my regular Switch games/books.

So excited to get to my cousin's tho

So I made that post about Camper Van: Make It Home on Friday night and then the game dropped Saturday morning no warning! I was so excited! Unfornutely we had someone coming to take pictures of the house so I I played the entire game yesterday.

It is so good and cozy and there are so many items and I can't wait to devote more time to each level vs wanting to see the entire game and it is exactly what I hoped. If you liked Unpacking 10/10 recommend.

So happy. Also I was listening to the Underland Chronicles as I played it and I'm so glad that series stood the test of time/aging. Started book 3 and I truly read books 3-5 over and over.

[spectres-fulcrum]

Now that it's June I'm physically checking the Camper Van: Make It Home Steam page every evening to see if they've announced the release date(We know it's releasing sometime in June). I played the demo for the first time about a year ago and it's been the #1 game on by wishlist every since. I've played the demo level ~6 times.

It's very Unpacking esque but it's RV vs houses.

I have SO many hours in Unpacking it's kinda embarrassing for the game only having 10 levels but it's also a stress/anxiety relieving game so I am beyond excited to have an alternative game

[spectres-fulcrum]

I want Mario Kart World but it's Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive and idk if I really NEED the NSw2 now or anytime soon really.

It looks really good and would be so much fun to have for my trip father's day weekend but like I would be able to find a Switch in the next week lmao

And I love seeing my gyn she is so nice and supportive so I'm like genuinely disappointed I don't get to see her today because of this stupid billing lie

[spectres-fulcrum]

So I called my doctor's insurance department and was like I don't have my insurance info but I do have insurance and she took down what info I had and said I'd be good to go.

I turn up at my gyn's office and they need a $225 non refundable deposit because of not having my insurance numbers.

I walked out because I was NOT warned and was not going to pay for a simple med check. I'm pissed.

Last week I started an idea that was meant to be an isolated scene I had in my mind-Sal telling Tommy he had seen Buck's transfer request on the LAFD transfer site and Tommy being shocked but knowing things are BAD and Sal wants to recruit Buck but he doesn't want to ruin things and it was meant to be extremely isolated. Like a Sal and Tommy scene.

It turned into a whole thing. 4000+ words and it might be winding down if I end things the same day.

And it is SO fun. Because it is entirely character led. No expectations, no plans. I have no idea where the story is going to go until it's on paper, until Buck decides what he wants to say. Maybe I know I want Tommy to cry because Buck is sobbing and it's torture to not be able to do anything to ease his pain, but it takes a rewrite to get it properly but it's genuinely all written as I go.

Tbh this is the first post-Bobby's death thing I've written where they got back together without waiting for the proper time.

I haven't written someone so on the fly in so long and I adore it. Idk if it's good or if I'll share it but it's been a joy in an otherwise overwhelming weekend.
