Random Stuff X: Something Weird

The nice thing about the cold: it pushes you to work harder and faster.

Until the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, anyway.

I'm close, but with luck a combination of the Rockies and fresh pacific air might save me

And humans have survived worse anyhow (probably.... Depends how bad the volcano goes)

Don't worry, a gamma ray burst will definitely cook the world and destroy everything.

Along those lines, to get personal for a moment, I think the best way to die would be swallowed by a giant snake. Going feet first and whole into a slimy maw would give your life perfect symmetry.

Wouldn't heart attack on stage after the last song be pretty alright though?

[Delightful]

I misplaced my headphones and I *still* have Hamilton in my head. And my dreams. There was a song in my dream. 

[Kaymyth she/her]

My team is doing a Secret Santa thing at work, and the person I drew likes scarves and bright colors.  And I remembered, hey!  I still have a few balls of sari silk yarn lying around.  So I am knitting her a scarf made out of saris that met the end of their lives by being cut into pieces and spun into yarn.  It's pretty.

I'm also making little goodie bags for everyone, because I'm the boss* and I should do that.  So I made fudge today.  And I bought a bunch of different types of cookies, because they will probably be way better than anything I try to bake.

 

*this is still weird

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

I'm taking Bruce back to Spokane with me in four days. 

FOUR DAYS 

Great Noodly One I am so nervous. I've gotten Bruce used to the crate, but I still don't know how he'll handle himself in the airport and on the plane, and I'm taking lots of treats and some of his toys along to keep him distracted, but there are still all of these variables and what if there's some unwritten rule I'm breaking and gaaaaahhhhhhhhh

But Twi, it's almost Christmas.

Sanderson Elimination dead docs are great. 

[Assassin in Burgundy he/him]

Going to Canada. I checked the weather a few days ago and it was -16 degrees.

...... Centigrade or Fahrenheit? 
Because we use Centigrade up here - Fahrenheit can be fairly confusing for us Canucks.

But yes, welcome to the cold and the snow (I say as I live in the warmest, mildest part of the country). 

[Oversleep]

Here (in Poland) temperature is oscillating around 0°C (32°F). A little on the plus, a little on the minus. Still no snow (there was once or twice but that's it). No snow for Christmass, I'm afraid.

Mists are showing up again, this morning (like 45 minutes before sunrise) there was a fog and all...

On another note: my dad watched an episode of Young Pope while I was near last Thursday. I can't get that music out of my head ever since:

D'you ever just lay on the floor with Night Vale playing loudly, two blankets over you, eating cheerios and being too freezing cold to try and get up and go to the thermostat?

No but also very much yes. Just a couple details off  

[Oversleep]

I dropped the Ookla build and I'm back to my previous self... sort of.

@Oversleep - none of us are ever truly the same after having grasped a glimpse of the glorious Mok. 

 

In other, random news, I had a brief moment of panic while waiting to have my blood drawn (almost certainly for the vampires, but hopefully they can taste it for any diseases) as they were serving #84 I thought I was given #960......

Spoiler

Pictures not showing, and I can't delete these spoilers on my phone... 

it it was only then that I realized that I in fact had #096

See above

[Quiver he/him]

Can anyone prescribe insomnia cures?

This is the third day where I've managed to get less than six hours sleep. I keep waking up around one or two o'clock, and can't get ask to sleep.

With work days, that's...exhausting.

Hmm... for me, it varies.

Tea. 

ASMR. 

Light exercise.

No screens. 

If I think of more I'll add them to the list.

@TwiLyghtSansSparkles

Was your librarian interview like this? 

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

@Darkness Ascendant At my job, I actually do surprisingly little shushing.  Maybe once a week we'll have a patron complain about another patron holding a loud conversation on their phone, but aside from that, patrons are pretty quiet to begin with. 

In other news, I've finally  seen Zootopia.

No, if you want to fall asleep, no lights. Darkness is the way of the sleep.
