still coughing, still a very productive cough. sniffling a lil too but that makes sense, mucus production way up. feels just like a general cold otherwise, achey and oogy.
gonna go thru applications to Pkmn Collectors. Online this evening and update the site, i think. there's some new mewtwo cards that just got released, or are about to be released, in the 30th anniversary set. plus a few months ago there was a new plush, AND i managed to score a mirage/vintage plush (turn-into-pokeball mewtwo plush) and another promo card, this one from indonesia. it's just the stellar crown mewtwo, but with the biz logo in the bottom right for "Taro" which i guess is like, prolly like a taro tea joint, right? mm taro tea
i finished season1 of pluribus and i'm super interested to see where they go with season2. i forced myself through season1 of black mirror and then, punishing myself for drawing breath, moved on to season2. it's still bad. it's still boring. it's still generally like half-formed thought experiments by the very privileged and rich that fail to account for large swathes of the human population. i'm starting to think that the reason bandersnatch worked so well is becasue i could see where the story would end differently, depending on the individual in charge of playing through the film, since it was really more like a game than a film. i could see points where i very clearly wouldve been unable to proceed, unable to force the choice that advanced the story because it's just not in my nature. watching the stitched together dvd 'playthrough' also satiated my curiousity with regards to if things turned around in any way past those points where i wouldve been stuck. so i was allowed to remain true to my own feelings on what those characters should undergo, and still learn what would've happened if i didn't.
however, every OTHER black mirror episode is foundationally built on the assumption that every single person watching would pick the bad choices every time that lead to the bad end because we're horrible. BZZZT PROJECTION ALARM GOING OFF lmfao
right now alph is really into the bonus pac podcast and the infectious laughter of the hosts is really kind of a great background to daily life. it keeps my spirits up anyway lmao
this week is the last week of the summer program at work!! meaning it's the last week of working mornings, which is gonna be a relief. i just struggle to haul out from under sleep still, every time. sometimes waking up comes with massive nausea just from being so exhausted still, meaning i gotta wake up even EARLIER if i want to be able to eat something before i head out the door. gotta wait to settle my insides etc. i'm looking forward to getting more practice driving in low light, too. at this point in the daytime i'm pretty confident on the scooter unless some dingbat is filling my mirror with their bumper and refuses to pass even tho im riding the shoulder for em and they have all the space in teh world to do it. i unno, i think covid really fucked folks up, man.
ren's got her arthritis shot monday (it was rescheduled when i got called in last sec to cover friday) and my yearly physical at the other end of the week will, i hope, finally, result in high blood pressure medication. "most people" don't notice any symptoms when they're hypertensive until it's really really bad. but also, i'm not most people. i'm very tired of hearing my blood pounding in my left ear (closer to my heart) with such intensity it aches like an ear infection (but isn't!)
gotta love how getting back on track with workouts was immediately followed by...... getting sick >.> well whatever i should be good in a week.
see you with another entry tomorrow, blogaust
