marcicatOkay, so I LOVE having the radio on, just, all the time. BACKGROUND MUSIC FOR MY LIFE, YES PLEASE. (Unnecessary backstory cut for time.)
My go-to station is WXRV THE RIVER, heck yeah! But it's gone to at least 50% static the last few weeks, and I haven't bothered to try moving my radio around to see if I can improve the reception. (I know, so old school: an actual radio!) And then we lost the power for a few minutes over the weekend, and I had to reset the radio station anyway, so I just picked one nearby to WXRV that came in well.
I think it might be the local university station? I don't think I've recognized a single song, which is genuinely great, although there have also definitely been times when I've walked into the room and thought 'WHAT in the world is this music???' In the cinematic experience of my life, this sure is a thematic shift!

it's BATTLESHIP time
Jul. 13th, 2025 07:46 ammarcicatI've now written 100% more fics in July (aka: 1 fic) than in the entire first half of the year (0 fics). YAY!!! Love that fic exchange energy.
*discord is now on my phone, will I regret this choice?????? NOT YET!!!!!
*trying out ellipsus for writing; so far it's fun! pretty! no offline mode, but that's been fine
*weather looks like it's going to be Extremely Summer this week, which means staying inside as much as possible to write will feel like an even better choice!

heck yeah, let's get groceries
Jul. 12th, 2025 08:01 ammarcicat(Went through several options for 'heck yeah' for today's post... groceries was the final winner!)
Very important to get groceries today, because I'm out of delicious fruit cups and also protein shakes, and in these difficult days (aka summer) those have pretty much been my go-to 'this sounds like something I an eat' options. WHY ARE SEASONS SO CHALLENGING.
(I do understand that my body is doing its best, and I appreciate that! It's just that sometimes my best means thinking 'I'm hungry' and then blank-staring into space for a long while as I try to determine what will solve that problem.)

“I brought you here to act as Iris’ security consultant,” it said, like Iris wasn’t three floors down from us doing kegstands. “If you manage to unpack something while we’re here, that’s all you.”

heck yeah, murderbot season finale
Jul. 10th, 2025 07:42 ammarcicat*I thought ep 9 was great
*very curious to see what the show does with ep 10!
*Sanctuary Moon y/n?
(PS very very funny to me that when Preservation decides to free a secunit in ASR, they go about it very officially, legal channels, documentation, all that stuff. Court orders! Probably actual real ones! And then in Network Effect, when ART and crew meet Three, they're all just like 'so we're going to lie about this, right? everyone in favor of plan: lie and deceive? excellent, yep')

workaday Wednesday
Jul. 9th, 2025 07:44 ammarcicatHad an absolutely wild dream last night that one of my coworkers was doing the Battleship Exchange and somehow we both found out that the other was participating, and they kept trying to message me about it on the team chat...
And sure, 1) don't cross the streams, everyone knows that; but also 2) consider this: it was hilarious.

cat wisdom
Jul. 8th, 2025 07:36 ammarcicatI really think the cat has the right idea about today: eat food, take naps, lie on the floor. She's very smart!
(She also keeps taking naps in the absolute hottest corner of the house. I keep trying to tempt her into the room with the AC unit, with mixed results.)
