@godwouldhateme@mastodon.social we didn't choose the dad joke life; the dad joke life chose us

case in point, i just made little candy bags for the two groups delivering furniture shortly, with cards. wrapped in patterned gift paper. with ribbon bows.

...mostly coffee-with-milk hard candy, but i did put a couple of reese's pb cups in there, and a candy cane. also some samples of fancy hand cream. i mean l'occitaine chucks those things everywhere and it'd probably be really nice after a day of hauling shit back and forth

every so often i am possessed by the spirit of my intensely WASPy ancestors and i am moved to do irrational things that may make little sense to outsiders of the bible belt mayonnaise people

my left pointer finger is STILL twitching

mg seems to have helped the level of twitch significantly tho

training montage of me trying to get ready for tomorrow but this is the soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=392L9-tKLIM

@boisdevache@guineapig.party thank you!!!

gotta be up early... sofa/recliner delivery at somewhere between 8:30 and 12:30... pharmacy that hopefully sells cbd closes at 1 (as naturopath is out of office until past xmas)... then haircut at 2... all of these alone would be exhausting for any #spoonie but all together?? on one day????? #prayforharp2k18 y'all

i also just now noticed that i'm about to run out of cbd oil pills so that's another thing to tomorrow's schedule

(i am gonna make some sticker + candy packs for the home depot 'rescue delivery' guys which i'm p sure is corpspeak for 'we're making a manager take one of the pickups we rent and deal with this' because they didn't deserve to deal with shit rolling downhill square onto their shoulders)

at least i know where the fuck the furniture i ordered is now. also trust no bitch at estes express. well ok the employees are probably all right but this is all because estes said they could do the delivery for home depot, then said "actually we can't make it to your house at all lol", after sending out the delivery guy to go rack up more tickets apparently and leaving him out to dry, at which point estes sat on its thumbs and refused to do anything at all with my shit

one monkey wrench removed, and then i accidentally flung it straight into another thing

whoops

time to gird my loins and call customer service

@daemonologie now that is some quality secret santa-ing right there. (i may just like bjork overly much and be very biased)

the other essay i'd be writing if i was still living that english major life:

pixellation and intentional lo-fi graphics in video games functioning in horror as an 'offscreen' or 'seeing it happen in silhouette' - not showing details = actually scarier as the audience gets to fill in the blanks

ref. the secret room challenge mode cutscenes in #fnaf sister location, lone survivor/obra dinn?, heavily compare to silence of the lambs (where worst horror is offscreen, more impactful for it)
