rendered a full picture in krita and didnt even think to touch csp . .. ....
these brushes are really good .... when they add a proper text tool i may not need to emulate csp on every computer i own anymore ...
also, tried a mint live usb in the 2 in 1 computer bc i really just dont use it at all. and the surface pro is totally dead now. the keyboard doesnt work and half of the touchscreen doesnt work. its cooked beyond cooked. it may be time to strip it for ram and make a billion dollars.

anyways, i already have one dedicated microslop pc for fortnite and rufus, so i can have a working 2 in 1 that isnt gay.... and it reeeallllyy didnt like it. idk why. im gonna try cinnamon out i think. kde is nice but i like mint. its not going full wayland yet which i can appreciate bc gdi i just got used to x11!!!! now youre putting something new in my face? im gonna try it and if my laptop hates it again ill try lmde...then kde debian. i like kde...but theres lots of cute skeuomorphic cinnamon themes now...and i get all the mint fun stuff. we shall see!

ok spoiler i ended up trying it again and cinnamon is pleasantly surprising me. i love how user friendly it is, my pen works ootb, and even has built in sensitivity and a gui to configure it, which is awesome! but i dont like that i can't scroll on the main menu with my finger. sooo im gonna not install it. kde here i come. its a damn shame because i love love love love the mint x theme on cinnamon. basically my ideal touch interface.

kde has an actual sensitivity curve built in, which is crazypants, ill be frank. im gonna think on it more before nuking windows again, i wonder if id be able to copy the whole thing over, key and all.

also, finished the chainsawman anime. its good. i like how denji keeps getting used. hes really pathetic and its moe!

because no one, not even me, cares that the heat is almost out again at work. Dad's like you've been saying this for a decade. Because it's true every winter. Let's never fix a thing at my school.

Though yesterday was strange. I was walking in the hall of my building when a young lady says 'I love your hair.' I thank her, pleased. 3 seconds later....was she on the phone with someone else? she's not one of MY students. Why did she say that? My hair is awful. Literally my entire life I was bullied for what my hair was like. I find it hard to accept praise for it.

Also I'm on a fanfic reading hiatus until I clear off the half dozen library holds.

What I Just Finished Reading:

The Southern Book Club's Guide to Vampire Hunting - hated this

Queen in Comics! By Emmanuel Marie - not a bad prose/graphic novel mix little bio. How, I don't know, but I had no idea Freddie was raised in the Zoasterian faith

Werewolf at Dusk and other Stories - David Small - three short stories, illustrated by Small.

What I am Currently Reading:

A Curious Kind of Magic - so far an interesting not-quite-cozy mystery

Sugar and Vice - oh look another baker cozy mystery, this one set in Florida. Even with the eye rollingly stereotypical amateur sleuth this is sort of fun.

What I Plan to Read Next: La Grand Familia and Zombie Day Care and the library books including one on Sally Ride and one Alison Bechdel who did Fun House. I hope this is better than that thing. (I needed a book about a character who does pilates. This graphic novel has that)

Current Mood: sleepy
Current Music: Inspector George Gently

Dear Eric: My fiancé and I are facing an impasse regarding the guest list for our upcoming wedding. I want to exclude his brother's (the best man) wife from the invitation list.

She consistently refuses to engage with me socially, going no further than a brief "hi." There has been no conflict; she simply does not converse with me. Although, if I ask her about herself or what's going on in her life she will answer, but there's no back and forth. I doubt she even knows my name.

For context, my fiancé is Hungarian, and his family is small. Although she speaks English fluently, she is the only family member who never attempts to talk to me or ask me any questions. While they invited me to their wedding a few months ago, I believe it was purely out of obligation.

My fiancé says that excluding her will create drama. He has acknowledged her behavior is "mean-spirited" in the past, yet he excuses it as shyness. Saying she took years to warm up to him. I find this a poor excuse for a complete lack of basic manners, and I am unwilling to have a guest at my wedding who will not speak to me.

I have told my fiancé that he needs to discuss this with his brother, but he has not done so, and invitations are about to be sent out. I am intent on sending a clear message by not including her. And from now and until our wedding there won't be any more chances to interact as we don't live in the same country.

Am I overreacting or is it reasonable to save my money while also slighting her.

Here's where I am today, I guess.

A Minnesotan friend read out to me a social media post that went something like "If you know any Minnesotans, you'll know that we take every opportunity to bring up Minnesota and Minnesotan things." The next sentence started something like, "If we manage to expel this ICE invasion..." but I don't remember properly because by the time I heard that much of this sentence I was already sitting up from where I'd been lounging on the couch, so when the sentence ended with "...you'll be hearing about it for the next twenty years."

"Twenty?!" I said. "We're still talking about the Halloween storm of 1991 and that's more than twenty years ago! I think people will be hearing about this for, more like two hundred years."

He scrolled down and chuckled, read out a comment that might not have been understandable because he was still laughing, but I knew what he was saying "This comment says, 'I remember the Halloween blizzard of 1991.' "

Speaking of October 1991, I was just thinking the other day we'll be hearing about the World Series of 1991, and 1987, at the very least every time it's another 5 or 10 years after those dates, for the very least as long as any of those players are still alive.

I said that I remembered hearing about, like, the 5-year-anniversary of that time there was a raccoon on the MPR building.

We are never gonna let you forget, you'll be hearing about this for ever. I guarantee it.

I can't wait (to be talking about this in the past tense).

This is a very brief selection from a much larger 1988 book I found in a free box, Brazilian Women Speak: Contemporary Life Stories. It is a life story from a woman involved with Brazilian spiritualism (more specifically, umbanda). The book is still miraculously in print, and there is a screen-readable version for the print-disabled on archive.org.

Citation: Patai, Daphne. “ÂNGELA: ‘In Spiritualism There’s Real Equality.’” In Brazilian Women Speak: Contemporary Life Stories, 109-110, 120-125, 364-365. New Brunswick: Rutgers,1988.

( Book selection about the orix�s possessing and incorporating into people involved in the umbanda religion. �ngela herself hasn't been possessed, but it's nevertheless and everyday part of her religious life. )

After some trouble getting ahold of me, my sister has let me know that our mother died this morning.

(So maybe don't assume I remember anything I'm supposed to remember this week?)
My sister and her husband continue to be awesome in these matters. As does Juan.

OK. Gonna go have food and meds now.

Still in the hospital.

Rough night.

Basically, the issue is trying to get my guts to function again. They pretty much quit after the trauma of the infection and the surgery. So I have to be able to digest and pass things through the system without throwing up before I can leave.

There's been some progress, so I'm hopeful.

This is a disgusting process, lol. I still recommend avoiding this altogether!

AO3 may be down, but never fear; I've brought a third batch of

threesentenceficathon fills!

Are they for fandoms you're in? W... well, no. They're still almost exclusively for the Goes Wrong Show, with one short and spoilery Silent Hill 2 fill. But they are fanfiction nonetheless.

( Silent Hill 2, James, 40 words, prompt: 'I love you. I'm sorry.' )

( Assorted ficlets for the Goes Wrong Show, mainly Chris and Robert, 1,400 words total. )

I was doing so well at keeping to three sentences to begin with! But here we are now.
