Well, I no long have to worry about having my ass smacked at work. It wasn't really the solution I was hoping for, but it's a solution nonetheless. Got my shift changed. Honestly, I'm just glad anything was done at all considering the person I was reporting is the assistant manager and the manager's best friend who gets away with everything.

@Janet

Maid RPG wouldn't happen to be the thing you were trying to play last night but couldn't?

It sounds very fun, maybe if I'm ever in a position to try it, I will.

Those sandwich elements that hummus doesn't go well with, as far as I know, like fresh sweet fruit, are generally served quite adequately with some chocolate hazelnut spread.

Together, the two have pretty much the entire sandwich gamut covered.

So the real question is: How does hummus taste with sauerkraut?
Miraculously, that was going to be the combination I test tomorrow. Hummus, sauerkraut, spinach. I'll let you know how it goes, shall I?

In unrelated news, I have three pieces of rough amethyst that I've been carrying around with me. I've taken to grinding them against one another when I get bored or stressed. The texture, the friction, for whatever incomprehensible reason, this is incredibly relaxing.

Downside: my, that was rather a surprising amount of blood you managed to start leaking, thumb. I noticed when it started dripping. Nothing so bad that a minute or two of pressure didn't stop it, but still. I'm probably going to have to be a bit less vigorous about that.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Yahtzee's reviews. Five minutes of hilarious, informative, elaborate bitching about game experiences.

Also Castle Story and the X-COM game. Neither is likely to be done for years, and the X-COM game intrigues me more because it's Firaxis than because it's a real X-COM game, but still.

I had one of the better days I've had in years.

Saw Sherlock Holmes II again in theaters with my queer friend Daisy, having had a movie night for the first one a couple days prior, who squeed just as much as I did in all the right parts, covered his mouth because he was so happy and shocked to get to see the things he did in a mainstream movie, and is also rooting for a 3rd-movie kiss.  Our friend M. bought us a surprise bag of jumbo popcorn, too, and we all ate the tangerines we smuggled into the theater; Aisy, Daisy's brother, supplied a powerful affection for Irene Adler.  Then we went home and had a huge dinner:

Vietnamese-style rice porridge with red and green home-made kimchee on top plus pickled garlic cloves (with turkey bits and entire preserved anchovies for those who wanted them), potato salad, paratha with orange and elderflower marmalade, black Arabian tea with sweetened condensed milk, and a key lime pie with whipped cream and a crumb crust.

Dinner was pretty dang eclectic, because we were four hungry guys and we thought we'd made way too little porridge for ourselves and my friends' parents, so we made a bunch of weird things with whatever we could find to eat.  Then it turned out that we had made porridge for probably 10 people rather than 5, so we just had a totally bizarre dinner with leftovers for a long time.

It was good, though.  Really good.  Fabulous.  Delicious.

Then Daisy and I walked around for an hour or so outside squeeing and working off that huge dinner, and he now really, really wants to know about the more "interesting" scenes from Metal Gear Solid, because he thinks the gay overtones sound awesome and cute.  I'm going to send him links to the Chip and Ironicus LPs.  The other two dudes mostly sat inside playing with their computers and keeping warm; the one time when M came with us, we ended up deciding that we had to take some fashionable pictures of Daisy with my fab new purple butterfly umbrella, because M is really good at photos and the umbrella is going to be really, really cute with Daisy.

After that, we played a Korean board game, which was really fun.  We ended up shouting a lot and making a lot of noise, especially when Daisy won (we'd been trying to keep him from winning for most of the game, and there was a huge amount of semi-dishonest kibitzing involved).

Then we all had more pie and tea.  Daisy, Aisy (Daisy's annoying younger brother), and M walked me home.  I hugged Daisy and M, and Aisy and I poked each other, play-fought, and made silly faces to say goodbye.  We're probably going to get together to play Settlers of Cataan and see the Ghibli Earthsea movie, and take all those photos, tomorrow.

I'm so happy.  It was really good.

Wow, that's awesome. I'd sort of assume it'd get uncomfortable after a little bit, though.

Started reading the various articles in the SCP Foundation. Most of those are really good.

Any particular SCP that you guys can recommend to me for either their scariness factor or their jokes?

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

Number 24 is the original SCP, and gives me nightmares to this day.

The flesh that hates is pretty good too.

I don't know, I found most to be some what second rate and unimaginative. Suffering from 'over powered' syndrome, where every rune brings an end, every actor is a mindless unstoppable power, and every artefact holds the secrets to everything. When I read most of them, all I can see are the people behind their keyboards, all wanting their SCP to be the best by making it the most of what ever field it occupies. It is the mundane, yet otherworldly that I find interesting.

Cue Terry Prattchet, if only he did horror.

I find SCP-173 to be pretty damn creepy, and this animation doesn't help.

Happiness: Had a marathon Katawa Shoujo session and finished Hanako's story. Humanity has now redeemed itself quite a lot in my eyes.

I went to Sovereign Hill (an international tourist attraction in western Victoria, Australia) which is basically Victoria in the Gold Rush circa 1840-1880.

I gots me a cane. My eyes look tiny because 1. they are, and 2. the sun is bright as anything up in Ballarat.

Didja get anything from the sweet shop? It's awesome, especially the raspberry drops. You can watch them being made, too.
