Doing
I'm backporting a bunch of content from my old blogs so I can finally stop maintaining WordPress blogs. Here are the posts that I've moved over:
- Revolutions (2015-03-12)
- Life is Strange Episode 1: Chrysalis (2015-02-05)
- House of Leaves: Appendix II-E, The Three Attic Whalestoe Institute Letters (May 8th, 1987) (2015-01-01)
- Canopies and Drapes: Emmy the Great’s Twist on the Classic Breakup Song (2014-11-09)
- Princess Bubblegum & Marceline: Still Just Almost Girlfriends (2014-08-14) Sorry for unintentional pings on RSS aggregators; also, be aware that a lot of these are vey old (like, ten years) and don't necessarily reflect who I am as a person today! I'm trying to be better about preserving and sharing my writing, so I suppose that means I must submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known.

Watching
Playing
I'm still playing Fields of Mistria, although I have had a few mid-day game crashes this week. The game is in early access, so I can't complain too much, but it's the first time it's happened to me. It's frustrating to lose progress, but I suppose I should get into the habit of saving a few times throughout the day.1
Listening
I listened to SUCK UP ALL THE OXYGEN by Hutch Harris because I saw the cover on Bandcamp and thought it was funny. The album was fine but not for me. There was a time in my life when I probably would have been really into this, but it's not now.
I picked up my All We Know is Falling listen from last week, too. 6. Never Let This Go - a nice build and pleasant to listen to, but it blends in with a lot of the rest of the album (yet fails to stand out). 7. Whoa - I always loved this one; great energy that lets me overlook the silly lyrics. 8. Conspiracy - forgettable 9. Franklin - I was so surprised by how fond of this song I still am. It's sweet; the backing vocals are a bit distracting — I'd rather they were just Hayley, but I understand that they were going for a duet. 10. My Heart - I was listening to a decent rip of this album but this song still somehow sounds like a super compressed 96kbps MP3. The screaming in this song is also so atonal — it feels like a studio note given what was "in" at the time. 11. Oh Star - another forgettable one for me; I don't really like slow songs in general I think and especially not when Paramore does them.
I went back to fishmonger by underscores. I really love this album (still). I love just about every song on it, but "Del mar county fair (2008)" is hitting for me in particular lately.

Mistria gives you this option; Stardew does not... but I've never had a mid-day crash in Stardew. ↩︎
