#introductions not new to mastodon, but haven't had anything to post for a long time. happy to find a fandom instance!

i'm larissa and i spend way too much writing. the rest of the time is spent playing video games and procrastinating on writing. mostly into final fantasy, but can also be found yelling about fallout, critical role, mass effect, pokémon, and extremely obscure video game soundtracks no one's ever heard of. if you want vg music recs, hit me up.

update 3: i have been using my chosen evernote alternative for three weeks now.

today it deleted EVERYTHING.

i cannot catch a goddamn break.

😭😭😭
oh my god i did it i caught up on my reading goal for the year. i’m one book ahead of schedule. I HAVE A SHOT AT THIS.

now i just have to keep it up 💪😤 10 down, 40 to go!

... i should have picked a different gif now i want pizza

hey mastodon how's it going-- OH MY GOD

(for real though is everything okay good grief)

😩 i spent two hours tonight painstakingly updating the script that powers most of my websites, only to upload it and have it bork all of them. legacy code why you gotta do me like this

ALSO, new icon, because i have more than enough lightning icons to change every month without repeating. (...i'll probably forget and repeat. WHATEVER. the point is that i gotta stay on brand.)

on the one hand, this emoji change would make a lot more sense if there was an emoji for a pot of gold.
on the other hand, why would they make an emoji for that.

update 2: i have been looking for alternatives for a solid month now and have tested out a good half dozen note-taking apps.

it stands to reason, then, that the very first one i tried is the one that actually suits my needs best.

🤦‍♀️

between health stuff and Brain Stuff all i’ve really been up for lately is playing lots of super mario odyssey. thankfully there’s a hell of a lot to do in this game and it’s still ridiculously fun after all this time. i’m going through each world and getting all the moons/coins/etc; i think i’m up to ~475 moons or so. still lots to get!

@lightning update: i took the nap.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you know those lists of fancy words for extremely specific feelings?

i need one for when you really want to take a nap, but you can’t because it’s going to fuck up your sleep pattern.
(bonus: the feeling of extreme sleepiness and grumpiness that comes from not having napped.)

this is now the second time i’ve fallen asleep reading this book. the first time i could explain (i was going on three hours of sleep) but i have no such excuse this time—

OH WTF I DIDN’T EVEN PUT MY BOOKMARK IN? FUCK YOU PAST ME

hello mastodon i finally finished my best of 2018 playlist, how's your february going
https://larissa.dreamwidth.org/2019/02/17/2018-playlist-always-been-but-never-dreamed.html

okay i made no less than ten Important Phone Calls in a row so that's me done for the day

(and this is after a Very Important Appointment *and* lunch with my mother, so i clearly deserve a medal)

I JUST STARTED YOU CAN'T THROW THIS AT ME ALREADY!!!

(these are my all-time two favorite tropes and it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to pick between them, SORTER WHY)

dnd today! this should be fun!

five minutes into session:
dm: so you get hit by two surprise attacks
dm: the first one is 34 points
dm: the second one is 47 points
me: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

some dreamwidth posts i've written recently!

🎮 i played super mario odyssey and it was an EXPERIENCE.
https://larissa.dreamwidth.org/2019/02/02/mario-oh-god-no.html - first half of the game, no real spoilers
https://larissa.dreamwidth.org/2019/02/08/super-mario-odyssey-the-conclusion.html - second half through end of game

📝 writing! i already do daily posts for it but since those are often stream-of-consciousness i'm gonna try doing a weekly/biweekly post for my progress. https://larissa.dreamwidth.org/2019/02/08/weekly-update-6338.html

update: went to the nearest optometrist to get it fixed when i realized that was A Thing I Could Do. still not something i planned on doing with my day, but now i have nice clean fixed glasses, so not all bad in the end!
