Weekend Report
Jun. 12th, 2022 06:59 pmLast week I read The Aosawa Murders. I have Thoughts about it but haven’t yet processed them fully enough to post.
Friday my workplace held their annual customer-appreciation BBQ, which involved the most people I’ve ever seen at that location. I also learnt that the cemetery next door is home to a turkey that chases visitors. My benefits have/are about to kick in, so next week we can go to the dentist, yay.
Yesterday was our (me/Andrew) seventeenth anniversary. Rain kept being forecast so we stayed in, but I got us some chocolate.
A client at the medical centre Saturday morning was insisting they couldn’t tell him to wear a mask because ”the government dropped the mandate,” and threatening to call building security on them if they insisted he wear one. AFAIK Life Labs is technically a private company even if what they do is still covered by OHIP, so they can have mask requirements for their own premises, but I don’t know if they stood on this one.
Later I offered some pumpkin seeds to a pigeon, but she (?) didn’t seem interested. Kept hanging around though, and at one point jumped on my purse but it wasn’t a stable platform. Suspect she was hoping if she held out long enough I’d give her crumbs.
For Pride month, a comic by/about Kevin Conroy and his Batman performance.
A lot of Tumblr users reference old-time radio drama as a genre/aesthetic, so today I posted a link to an episode of the Nero Wolfe series with Sydney Greenstreet (and various Archies, but Harry Bartell is the one I like). I even spent $10 on the new “blaze” function to show it to more users.
It’s blatant corporate branding, but I couldn’t resist buying a No Name™ mug.
My writing continues to consist of short Team Fortress 2 fanfics; I got some comments today. Meanwhile, found this video of some TF2 cosplayers doing a photoshoot back in 2012, and it made me feel so happy to watch it. It reminded me of set-painting for university theatre productions, that kind of people getting together and doing some crazy performing-art projects. I miss that.
I’m positive that when I went to bed last night I had on my grey cardigan over my nightgown, but when I woke up I couldn’t find it. So I must have taken it off in my sleep, but where did I put it?
