L’Arc, Therese, and Naofumi are all dating, but Naofumi lives about a 12-hour drive away while Therese and L’Arc live together. One day, because Therese and L’Arc could finally afford a bigger house, invites Naofumi to come live with them. Naofumi obviously says yes, and they all plan for Therese and L’Arc to come get him and for the three to drive back together.

While getting there, L’Arc is mostly the one driving, but keeps getting lost. And when Therese face-times Naofumi to tell him that they might be a couple of hours late, L’Arc tells her something that Naofumi almost can’t hear before Therese shouts.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU GOT US LOST AGAIN?!”

Naofumi just laughs and says he can drive them back because he actually knows how to use Google Maps, and not get lost.

Have been out, just got home, tried to enter the gate and experienced one of the worst surprise sensations ever:

wearing shorts and a spider has made a very dense web at knee height and you just stepped into it

and it feels like immersing your lower legs in cotton wool

and it's resisting you walking forward

and you have to back three or four steps away to get out of it because it's clinging to your leg hair

Having a rough day and my husband brought me a little boat of chips that taste like mid-autumn smoke and I'm utterly delighted and feeling a bit better.

(I triggered a pots flareup cleaning my kids' rooms. Then stubbed a toe, splitting the nail, ow. Then my eldest's impulse won and he headbutted me right in the eye socket. I'm having a day.)

Ok really though these chips are phenomenal.

I didn't expect "how do you clean liquid metal that is exceptionally good at sticking to surfaces from a powder-coated, pitted surface without also removing the powder coating" to be a problem I need to solve, but here we are.

(Galinstan-filled fever thermometer fell on my big paper cutter and shattered.)

I was a first-year MFA at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, and my first performance on the mainstage was as Young Siward in Macbeth. I had a truly grisly death where Macbeth took my sword away and simultaneously gutted me with his hand axe while slitting my throat with my own sword. Opening night came, and I charge up the vom wearing 25 pounds of chainmail, sword drawn, really feeling like I had arrived. Greg Thornton, playing the title role, looks over at me, and waits for me to say my first line… which has totally disappeared from my brain.  

I see Greg’s expression change from “Who is this little English solider who thinks he can defeat me” to “Who is this student who is taking an acting moment” to “Are we EVER going to be able to continue?” My whole body breaks out in sweat, and I am mortified. In what was probably five seconds but seemed an eternity, “What is thy name?” finally comes out of my mouth and Greg rolls his eyes before saying, “Thou’lt be afraid to hear it.” He kills me with a little extra relish that night, and I am so happy to get to collapse on the floor dead until the lights change and I crawl offstage with my metaphorical tail between my actual legs.

I use Apple notes to write fics and nearly lost one today when I was cutting the whole piece to send to myself elsewhere but then clicked cut at the titles.

I was livid when I thought I lost my whole nearly finished piece but found out you can do a three finger swipe left to undo actions.

weeeeeeell I fucked up.

I am moving in 2 weeks. There's a semi-feral cat I have been feeding for 4 years. (She's TNRed of course.) She's mama to one of mine, and besties with another. (both of them I was trying to socialize to rehome, and successfully socialized....to me and only me. One of them will tolerate other people under very specific circumstances.) She has no other clowder that I have ever seen her with. She's semi-socialized to me, in that she only backs off out of arm's reach when I come outside to feed her.

So I trapped her & brought her inside. Got her flea&tick treated. She only hissed at me twice, and didn't try to scratch or bite me, which I took as a good sign - She was unhappy but didn't actually feel like I was a threat she needed to defend herself against. (I was slow blinking at her a lot.)

Buuuuut she got loose when I tried to transfer her to the crate from the trap. She's now someplace in my living room. My not very nice to strangers girl is locked in my bedroom. I think I'm going to lock all the kitties in my bedroom for the night, give her the living room to herself. This is going to be interesting. Might have to trap *inside* the house to catch her to move!

today one of my students was messing with some copper wire, and bent it into a satisfying shape, and attached it to a battery, which shorted it out…

By the time I noticed, who knows when later, the battery was so hot that the glue which kept the label on had started to melt. It was sitting on top of a piece of paper. We were genuinely lucky there was no fire

I still don’t know who it was! Nobody wanted to admit to this obviously. The only reason I even noticed was because I’d just been messing with that wire myself.

I don’t know what the point of this story is. It’s the most interesting thing that happened to me this week… maybe that’s enough?

Uhhhhhh go vote ig
