IN WHICH I BRAIN-BARF ON YOU, AGAIN
Why do you read these blogs? Why do I write them? Eh, screw it. Here's some FatRat as reimagined by Irish-Trish (another composer I like).
It's a pretty good remix-cover, I think. Anywho, shall we get this trainwreck a-rolling?
So this past day I was very busy. Woke up early and made my mother some Jasmine tea the proper English way. She insisted on adding artificial sweetener to it -- I'm almost as much a Southerner as she is, but I take my hot tea seriously and consider anything other than drinking it straight to be blasphemy of an even higher order than Indian-style curry with beef (which I love; fuck you Modi) or substituting bay scallops in shrimp scampi (worked pretty well actually; fuck you Bibi) or having empathy (can't help it; fuck you Trump).
Then I went back to sleep for a couple hours and had a bizarre dream involving flying Deadpool heads, Babymetal (who I'd fallen asleep listening to), and Aaaa! Real Monsters. Guess that's what I get for combining pillz with chamomile tea and sleeping after sunup. After that I had a appointment with one of my doctors. Then I went to go see my dad in the rehab facility -- he may very well go home in the next couple weeks... hopefully he doesn't fall back into old habits that zerk all the progress he's made since he went into the ICU about a month ago on the literal brink of death (though he didn't realize it at the time). If he fucks this up, he won't survive it.
After I left my dad, I went to the lake and walked about a mile and a half. The dogwood trees are in bloom, so pretty -- the dogwood is the symbol of my hometown so I feel a deep connection to them. I wish I had one in my backyard -- my neighbour has one in his front yard.
Took my mother out to dinner at the second best Italian place in the area. We can't quite afford the best one (much closer to my home) just yet. I had lasagne. I'd been craving it. Also chocolate. I think I've talked about my sweet tooth on here before. My mother for her dessert got bread pudding, which I also love.
After arriving home, I decided to set to work writing just to see if I could get something accomplished. I added another paragraph or two to my upcoming Sunset story. It's still not close to complete though. I don't know when it will be. But there is progress, so I guess that's worth something.
On my walk today, I tried to suss out the details of Sci-Twi meeting Adagio in the Burrito Barn and how that would go. When and if I publish it, you might be surprised. I just need to figure out how to use the interaction to release some information but not too much. Also, what in the hell would Sci-Twi's inner monologue be? I always sucked at the sciences so I may play up her rich background instead. And, being a Burrito story, what songs should I incorporate into the dialogue? I have to figure these things out.
Not a day goes by that I don't think about my ex-girlfriend. I miss her terribly. Even if she wants nothing to do with me, I don't feel the same. I'd do just about anything to get her back. I warned her at the start of our relationship that I'm possessive and a bit greedy. Her current now-husband, who i genuinely like, I want to run over with a truck. Nothing personal; he's simply an obstacle in my way and must suffer. I don't care if my ex is a slob who used me as her personal ATM and retroactively lied to me. She. Is. Mine. (I think now you see where Rarity gets it)
It'll be 4:30am my time when I post this. I'm sleepy. I don't have anything on my agenda tomorrow (today), IIRC. So I might try to write more. OR, I could spend all day in bed watching Babymetal and Sakura Gakuin videos. What'll happen? Only The Fox-God Knows!
Peace out!
Sounds like you had a really good day. :D Full of delicious food too. I hope your father will be okay. For Sci-Twi you can always try to think of anything sciency that might have to do with the scene or the topic and look up something about it on wikipedia if necessary. I don't personally understand the obsession because while I'm not fully polyamorous I do have leanings toward it.
