Thursday again: holiday edition
we are of course celebrating the famed 6July calendar in the Android Invasion :)
Sometimes you just decide to read a whole text about the proper ways and means of ratting, if you happen to live in Manchester in 1898. There's a lot of gore. And ferrets. And commas. And semicolons. I adore semicolons in a way that has not been fashionable for a solid century or so.
Listening
In keeping with Certain Themes of the week, let's have the most heartbreaking song I know about mixed marriages. It's also v fun and catchy!
Reading
Playing
Anyway it's great if you like This Sort of Thing; you either do or you very much do not.
Visiting
Dumped the ancient iMac off at the Apple Store (I suppose somebody could have paid me for it had I put in the effort, but: effort.) Bought some cactus chocolates, bath bomb and avocado seaweed at the outdoor mall since I was there anyway.
My addiction to seaweed snacks is profound :)
Pat on the back if you guessed Fallen London. My alt has got into a fun but horribly expensive part of the ambition and struggles mightily. I have come near grinding out the necessary steel for the entire railroad and am now busily at work on SOTC.
Most implausible gameplay encountered this week: mushroom picking for fun and profit. I have never read a single nonfiction account of industrial-scale harvesting that makes this sound remotely plausible.
Writing
Broken the 20,000 word mark. I don't know how long it's going to be but it will be novel length before I'm through.

As summer turned to Autumn and the days got colder and shorter, Phoenix and Dawn found themselves shifting focus to their careers.
They both earned big promotions that led to higher stress and longer hours.
With less time to see each other during the week, they made the most of what small pockets of time they could… like their 15 minutes over coffee in the mornings.
Phoenix, who has been working for the San Myshuno Human Rights Commission, is now heading the Department for Housing and Community Development.
At first, he was excited and had big plans for the future of the city. Unfortunately, it seems the more power he is given to make a positive impact, the more he runs into roadblocks and red tape.
The stress and frustration started taking a toll.
To cope with the stress, he began spending more time in Mt. Komorebi where he’d go snowboarding with his friends the way he used to before Kiyoshi ever presented the idea of climbing the mountain.
Nothing like the rush of flying down the slopes and landing massive jumps to get your mind off things, I suppose.
Meanwhile, Dawn has been working for the Dreamer Foundation as an Event Planner. She organizes many of their fundraising events, and they’ve been doing so well that she’s started putting together more prestigious events for their larger donors. This, of course, comes with its own kind of stress and frustration.
Rather than take off for the mountains though, she felt like she needed to make time to slow down and breathe. So, she started getting into wellness activities like yoga and meditation.
Oh! Also, Atlas and Asher started coming over every Sunday to join them for dinner...
...and to watch the latest season of Somnium.
All four of them are now fully invested in the series.
(how could they not be with a genius creator like @rebouks)
