Wrong Quotes:

Strong language ahead!

Crosshair looking at you: "Bad day?"

You: "Yeah, pretty much"

Crosshair: "Life's fucking you hard, huh?"

You: "If only" *snorting sarcastically,* "These days it's just a constant tease without getting anywhere"

Crosshair:*blurting without thinking* "Well, if life doesn't fuck you, I will"

You:*confused* "What?"

Crosshair:*startled, but playing it cool* "What?"

I've noticed that people seem to adore the notion of jelaous Astarion and I'm like ? That guy? Should I repeat the great many instances where he doesn't care that Tav fucks others? He seems to genuinely believe that he has no right to hold Tav back. Or are you talking about the serious instances... where he rather refuses to share than to deal with all that?

It's funny how some see him as this kinky open to everything poly king and some think Tav simply flirting with others would make him jelaous and that it's adorable. He truly is a character like no other 😆

My brain: Idra Elbis

Me: That is... definitely not correct

(Anyway, I found out yesterday that apparently Idris Elba DJs? I was doing one of those "calculate your Coachella Age" things and he's on there. The more you know!)

Feeling extra post-y today so how’s about a Sunday Seven

Can you tell I’m procrastinating? I have a content review meeting tomorrow and still need to write 3 more web pages, but every time I open the tab with the main copy doc, my brain unplugs. So. Much. Nope. 

One of the weird long Covid issues I’m dealing with is smelling what can only be described as wet campfire smoke. Some days it’s constant, even in my sleep. Today is one of those days. There is no campfire in the neighborhood. Only the one inside my sinus cavity, apparently. It’s so bad today that i have screamed into a pillow twice. It’s extra weird because my sense of taste and smell were not at all affected during infection. 

Last night I used DoorDash for the first time. I had a Venmo balance that came from cooking for a friend. Every time I delivered a meal to her she sent me $20. Felt like a form of poetry to turn that cash into a bon voyage meal for my brother. We got wonton soup, pad thai, chow mein, and steamed ginger-pork dumplings. Thank you, Reginald, for your speedy delivery. 

I watered my plants and told them all how grateful I am for the luscious green energy they bring to this gray winter. 

I loved seeing comments on my earlier post saying how special and magical Mendocino is - I wish my brother didn’t have to figure out that’s where he wants to live out the rest of his life by leaving there and spending so much money on a dead end situation here. But, I’m happy he was able to go back. He landed in SF about an hour ago and is on a bus to Santa Rosa where a Mendo friend will pick him up for the last leg of the ride. He has an amazing network of friends and chosen family out there. Has his old job lined up, a sublet studio cottage, and a loaner car for a few months. It’s going to be ok. I just hope he can start to get his hands back in clay on the regular again. We need to make our art. 

While I’m glad he’s gone for a lot of reasons, I’m already missing having family around. It’s been good to be able to talk through some of the unspoken stuff from our childhoods. He’s ten years younger than me, but that age difference shrinks radically once you hit your forties and fifties. I look forward to visiting him in the magical place he loves so much. 

Who wants to write this copy for me?

My parents just asked me if the Ancient Egyptians followed Islam.

And the way I actually felt a spasm of pain go through my body at that question.... I cannot explain this feeling. I just cannot.

I just stared at them pointedly till they realized just how stupid and brain farty that question was. They've studied this in school. And then again for competitive exams.

#both are well educated #one even has a PhD #the other has master's degree #why #WHY #how do just forget the passage of time that separates ancient Egypt and advent of Islam #lol #brain fart #brain farts

ADHD Strikes Again

I recently received an email from a client who wants to buy an article from me, asking for a W9 tax form. That’s a tax form freelancers use in the United States.

Some necessary background to understand the brain fart I committed next:

The United States has a much more common tax form, the W2, which employers fill out for their employees.

This was my first freelance writing assignment. (Go me).

I have filled out many W2 forms in my time, but had never seen or heard about W9 forms.

So, I misread the email. I genuinely believed she was asking for a W2, and then got very confused about why she would want that particular form.

Fortunately, someone else pointed out the mistake before I asked her stupid questions or filled out the wrong form. So, no harm done.

But I wasted time and energy on a problem that my brain literally created for itself.

I make these kinds of errors frequently, especially when people are giving me instructions out loud, or when I’m very tired. In real life, I can rarely tell whether I misunderstand what people are asking me to do, or whether I misremember later. I am very anxious about both possibilities and take lots of precautions, including recording important meetings and taking copious notes.

This was an unusually clear example of what causes an ADHD brain fart.

And it was completely, frustratingly pointless.

How much time and energy do I waste making mistakes like this? How much do I confuse other people when I try to solve problems that only exist in my head? How much time and energy do I waste trying to prevent myself from making these sorts of brain farts?

ADHD sucks.

My brain has gas...

I don't know why my brain does this sometimes, but I just happened to remember a scene from Clone Wars season 7, I don't remember the episode number, but it was with Anakin and TBB.

I just had the scene in my head where Tech is translating and speaking this alien language, and I was just sitting there thinking, "My boy, did you just speak backwards and pretend it was a language? Because that's what it sounded like" - and I giggled like an idiot, which got me a weird look from my roommate.

"What's wrong with you?"

giggles "Everything."

While this just a click bait article (if they think people won´t care about BG3 in a few years, they never heard of BG2 or Dragon Age loyal fanbase), it got me thinking.

No, there won´t be any BG3 adaptations. While I agree with those who claim that the next big thing after the colapse of comic book adaptations will be movies based on computer games, these adaptations will be just as loose as comic bood adaptations that were created in the last two decades. That means that there probably will be some series or a movie based on BG but it will be completely different story.

Eh, not that I wish for any adaptation anyway, there´s no need. And Astarion´s story is a side quest so he probably wouldn´t be in any adaptation, his role of a lure for fans delegated to someone more acceptable. And even if he was, there certainly wouldn´t be any romance with him - even the spawn ending romance would be deemed too controversial. Since rEpreSenTatIOn is everything today and there´s many bisexuals to choose from, I´m reasonably sure his delagated role would be that of a supportive gay best friend of female Durge herione /eyeroll
