I should be asleep but I smashed my toe by accident with a door. In the throes of immense pain, I gasped out 'oh golly!'

My gf's pal is now her ex-pal and during the course of their friendship dissolution we found out he had been sharing very Violent thoughts about me with someone else which, you know, fun. The actual fight that ended their long-standing palhood is not mine to share but I promise you it was deeply stupid on his part. She is an innocent creature who has never done anything wrong ever.

But it was kind of a 'wow, okay!' moment when I found out what he'd been saying/that the other person had let him say it.

Meanwhile, I have watched Many Things and need to make a big post about it.

I also need to make a post of the stuff I've seen at the thrift store, because I enjoy photographing the baubles.

Today's plan is to headswitch a pair of barbies. I'm told putting them on a heating pad is a good idea? I'll get one from my sister once she wakes up.

I have a story to finish writing (doing research now) + hoping to sign up for two exchanges soon, both crossover focused.

In my heart, I want Jean Luc Picard to ride majestically on the dragon queen Alexstrasza's back over the green fields of Azeroth and no one can stop me.

Picked this up because I kept seeing it being described as literary SF – with that classic complaint, "no plot, hated the protagonist," that often signals a novel that may interest me. It's the tale of a depressed, isolated telepath in New York City in the early 70s who's gradually losing his powers as he enters his forties.

A reviewer on Reddit dismissed the novel as a clumsy metaphor for impotence. Having read it, and read a little about Silverberg's career – he had been churning out multiple novels per year before temporarily deciding to retire from writing in 1975 – I'm now 95% convinced that it's in fact a slightly less clumsy metaphor for the retreat of literary inspiration. Which makes it somewhat more interesting. Isn't fiction really, in some ways, based on the ability to see into other people's minds?

Not a great novel, but it has its moments. Very much of its period and setting, in both the good ways and the bad ways.

Dream - video game

I dreamed I was playing a very casual game where you went around harvesting things -- a few types of mushrooms, different berries, catnip plants, even clouds somehow -- and you would also encounter creatures that you could offer the items to. Critters would respond with 😍 (love), 😊 (like), 😐 (neutral), 😝 (dislike), or 🤮 (ew), and their attitude would adjust accordingly. Enough positive points got a ❤️ and they became huggable; enough negative points meant they'd run away from you, though you could still leave gifts. There was a 'notebook' where you could keep track of discovered rules ("hyrax doesn't like snozzberries" is one I remember from the dream) and sometimes a creature would have a floating thought bubble with what they were in the mood for.

...I kinda want this game to actually exist...

I bought my first Rainbow High doll the other day (big mistake, this is a gateway drug) and I didn't like her skirt (it matches her legs skin colour) so I bought an outfit pack to give her a new bottom but now I have a whole second outfit and shoes? So I thought 'there's a CHANCE there might be one at the thrift store' because sometimes there is! Very rarely though, as these are pricey motherfuckers.

But there was one! In a slip! So she had no new clothes that were going to give me problems!

I took photos of fun sculptures too, for a later post.

The two dolls I own now are Zooey Electric (bought new) and Ruby Anderson (needs a bit of tidying and brushing, but a perfect find).

In my heart I want Victoria Whitman but I'm being good and not buying her at the prices she is now.
