Planning a convention expedition to NJ in March, and the flights are somehow OVER $600 which is fucking ABSURD, so looks like I'll be renting a car and driving it. Train would be cheapest, but that would mean taking Friday off and an extra hotel night, which I'd like to avoid.

I'm back to actively dreading Tuesdays in the office because of Boss 2, but at least today, there is a new offering from Nothing Bundt Cakes that Boss 1 and I have been looking forward to all month. Surely a yummy bundtlet will save me. (www.nothingbundtcakes.com/product/oreo... if you're curious)

nothingbundtcakes.comOREO® Dirt Cake Individual BundtletLimited Pop-Up Flavor! Individually packaged personal OREO® Dirt Cake crowned with our signature frosting. Perfect for an everyday treat, snack, celebration or gift!

Midterm accomplished. AND the bus came right as I got to the stop after I finished, so I will get home a cool two hours early from my usual night class shenanigans . Monday is giving me a bit of a reprieve, it seems.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Monday is already Mondaying and it’s not even 8AM. Also I have a midterm tonight (yeah remember that midterm I cancelled my Halloween NYC trip for? It got moved last week. 🙃) so it’s just going to keep Mondaying right on through until bedtime, I think. Weekends are just never long enough. 😭

This envelope apparently went through some kind of war on its way back to me (I suspect water damage that dried long before it actually reached me) but thankfully my mailbox shinies are still basically intact

The fact that #911abc 10.2 has to open with a fake news report to try and badly explain how scientifically a volcano might spontaneously appear in downtown LA is the most hilarious thing ever. JFC this show 😂

...has there been one day this week without a kick in the teeth personally directed at working non-rich authors? No? No, didn't think so.

I’m going back to bed

I want you all to know that I have managed to not be lazy and actually pack a full lunch for myself every single day for two weeks. I don't think you understand how unprecedented this is. (I paid $1k of my student loans with my last paycheck so like...who has money for the cafeteria anymore?)

Meant to play like a half hour of Final Fantasy Resonance just to get a feel for it, and then suddenly it was four hours later…oops? (Okay but I managed to collect the Terra vision so actually it was totally worth it) (Also, visions? Amazing concept, I’m obsessed, drowning in nostalgia here) #FFR

I haven’t made it any kind of priority to replace my record collection onto CD as I sell the vinyls, but I did make one notable exception, for the Clair Obscur soundtrack. And, wow, the CD set might actually be more gorgeous than the record set was. 😍 I LOVE the artwork choices for the sleeves!

This game is going to be a bit heartbreaking for me, though. The nostalgia, the return to 2D animation. My friend Eric was the one who introduced me to Final Fantasy and made me fall in love with with the old SNES games. He was still playing them right up until the end. He'd have LOVED this.

Snippet from my E33 WIP, which I started well over a year ago, and miraculously finally pulled out again and worked on this morning! (It's the first thing I've worked on in forever, I'm so happy. NEW WORDS!!!)

This week's word is... ✨ UPSET ✨ Find the word in any WIP & share the sentence containing it. All writers welcome. #wordgamewednesday

I’m so glad VisionQuest is amazing. You have to understand the rarity of me looking so forward to a series that I have it in my calendar. I barely use my calendar. But this? THIS WAS IN THERE. And so far it’s so much better than I even dared to hope for. 🥲

It's always weird seeing someone on my TV screen that I just saw in real life when I'm not expecting to see them on my TV. But Mary McDonnell is delightful in person AND on screen so I am not complaining! :D #VisionQuest

Gilmore Girls is filled with several problematic tropes I opt to overlook because it was made in a different time, which I remind myself of regularly. And because I have much fond nostalgia. But my god, every time I watch this show, I hate Dean even more than the last time.

Ahh yes, Hell House, home of the prank war and also the first episode where we meet the Ghostfacers lol. (Say what you will, but one of the best random fics I ever read in this fandom was a goddamn Ghostfacers fic and I'm still mad about it.) #SPNRewatch

Nicki Aycox was also so damn good as Meg. I love both versions of the character - Rachel Miner was great too and I dob't think I could pick a definitive favorite - but seriously, Nicki Aycox was great. Still so sad she passed away. #SPNRewatch
