My graphics card bit the dust. On-board graphics work, thank goodness, so I can use my computer, but the display is riddled with artifacts. This couldn't have picked a worst time to happen. It will be a while until I'm able to replace it, barring so…
Eating sourdough rolls straight from the oven when they're still alarmingly hot makes me happy. These turned out so well. Might have a new favorite discard recipe.

I think one of my big problems with being in Hallifax now is that for a long time I was very heavily involved in the politics and administration side of things, and since coming back I've realized I just do not have the right mindset …
The only reasons I log in to Phoebus anymore are to tend my shop and keep my uncollared beasts alive. Sigh. I guess she still counts as my "main" because she has about 5000x more artifacts than my other characters, but I don't know if she'll ever be…
This has been posted in this thread before by @Tremula, but in case you forgot, this is still one of the best songs ever, from one of my favorite albums ever.
Just finished shaping my rolls for later and feel so chill. I could fondle dough all day long, it's so relaxing. Soft and squishy and stretchy...like a stress ball you get to eat later.

Because nobody else in our extended family gives crazy grandma the time of day anymore, so my mom feels bad, thus we're dragged along to suffer through holidays with her. I get that it's a nice thing to do, but, oh my god. There's a r…
I'll be at my crazy racist grandmother's cat pee-scented house all day. We never do Thanksgiving with my cool grandma, only the one who worships Rush Limbaugh and steals other people's cats and gets them put to sleep. in General DissatisfactionComment by PhoebusNovember 2016

Time to do whatever you can to avoid the subject. Use fantasy football as a diversion. Have food in your mouth at all times. Or just request that the conversation stays away from politics, should it come up. My father and I have an ag…

As someone who vents a lot to help myself cope, I am totally familiar with this feeling. But it's ok. I promise it's ok. If talking about things helps, then talk about them. While some people don't like to listen to other people's pro…
This seriously could've ended at Synkarin's post that y'all agreed with. Can you like, stop. Seriously, what's your goal at this point? Just because someone leapt to an incorrect conclusion, doesn't mean you have to harp on them until the end of tim…
I don't particularly care about how other people are pricing their wares; I price nearly every crafted item by cost + 50%. And then maybe rounding up or down a bit to have a nicer looking number. If I got the comms for free because I produced them o…

Autumn's my favorite season, despite being my worst time for allergies. It's got too many good things to hate. Shame it's also when my body decides to go on the offensive against the air itself. in General DissatisfactionComment by PhoebusNovember 2016
My allergies are going wild today. Why can't my immune system be this on top of things when I actually need it to be? Blugh.
No, no. You're doing it all wrong. You're supposed to puff up angrily while pointing fingers and acting condescending whenever someone commits an aggressive act. Reread the provided examples and try again.

My brother's currently my only option for transport, and he said he might not be available, so I can't make promises. I want to come! It's just not really up to me at this point.

!!! Ahhh. I might be able to make it, if I can convince a family member to give me a ride. Curse my inability to drive/the lack of public transportation in my area. Forewarning if I'm able to come: I sound like I've been …
Got my first big illness of the season. Yesterday basically didn't exist for me, I spent the whole day asleep. I've been out of bed for only two hours and it's a struggle not to climb right back in. I ate some soup and had some tea but I still feel …
