So I uh. Didn't end up going to the shops first thing. Or do any painting. I just passed the fuck back out, which was not the plan, buuuuut...

Well. I've been sleeping like crap. So it was very needed sleep.

Anyway, I woke up in time for Terraria (just), and went to the shops after that! So I have some more food - though I did forget to get ice cream, which is extra annoying because today would've been a really good day for some, ugh I was a massive sweatball when I got home.

And then I did finish off the first coat! :3 It's blotchy, because fucking of course - there's a noticeable difference in the quality of the coverage between the brushwork at the edges and the roller in the middle, yet another way rollers fucking suck. (Though I will admit that if you don't push yourself they are quicker. I am now convinced of that.)

Going in there now just makes me smile. It's so nice!!! It's not finished but it's SO much better than fucking beige already! Definitely worth all the work. Though I will still bitch about it, hahaha.

Grab a paintbrush and follow me (508 words) by Estirose
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: 剑兰女探社 | Excellent Women
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Yang Moli/Yao Zhidi (Excellent Women)
Characters: Yang Moli (Excellent Women)
Summary:

Yang Moli after the events of episode 32.

(Slight deviations from canon)

Episode 32 is the most current episode; it looks like the drama will have a season 2 (which is already filmed). Also, part of the last scene irritated me so I made minor alterations to it, otherwise Moli would be in emotionally worse condition than she is in canon.

I really don't expect either of these fics to get many hits; they might be a F/F couple but they're an obscure F/F couple on an equally obscure Chinese Web Drama. I'll definitely be asking for this fandom for Yuletide just so I might not be the only writer for it.

I have FINALLY started painting actual colour on my walls! Finally! :D

Only got the cornices and the cutting in done today - well, I was GONNA do a roller as well, but when I came out for a break before that it was uh 1:20 and I thought maaaybe that would be a bad idea - but it's SO NICE to have some actual COLOUR in there. I expect I'll get some of the same 'don't know if paint is blotchy or my eyes are playing tricks on me' problems that I got with the white, but definitely nowhere near as many. White is a bitch for that kind of thing, at least for me.

Anyway, definitely don't have the full effect yet, but it's looking good so far! Contrasts nicely with the roof, too, mwahahaha.

I actually got up and did a session when I fed the cats this morning, which I'm pretty proud of! I was tired but I've been sleeping like crap for some reason, so I said fuckit and did some work rather than attempting to nap. It really worked in that I passed the fuck out for several hours afterwards. (Though some of that wasn't because I did work but because I uh didn't eat properly. Like, I had a slice of zucchini bread, but that is not enough for manual labour, sorta thing.)

Might do the same thing tomorrow, but I'm more likely to go down to the shops - I'm almost out of milk and snacks. Should probably get some more food-type things too, though I've got enough pasta sauce for at least a few more days so it's not so urgent. And Terraria in the afternoon! :3 So we'll see how much painting I get done, but if nothing else the first coat will be finished, for sure! >:

Yesterday I got to explain to a slightly confused Spaniard that "condominium" in the US means the type of multi-unit residential building that is apparently standard here, where each unit is owned by the person who lives in it, and that the type of building that's owned by a company which then rents out the units to residents, is so much seen as the default in the US that it doesn't have a specific name.

(The difference in corporate attitudes to profit-making that this implies is fascinating to me - I feel like the overall sentiment, not just in real estate but in everything lately, is that renters who pay over and over are easier to squeeze money out of than customers who buy once and then own the product. But apparently here the main model is that a company buys land, builds a residential building, sells off each unit to an individual buyer who presumably intends to live in it themself, then moves on to the next project. However, does that mean that finding housing is less of a struggle? No, it's just different.)

Today I went to my cousin's engagement party!

It was very boring for a me!

But I did it and it's done now and I left as early as I could get away with, and managed to miss all the extra-boring speech parts, so that's basically as good as it could have gone!

...well okay it would have been better if my auntie had picked me up and dropped me home as planned, but she texted me this morning, and she has covid. :/ So you know. TOTALLY GET why she stayed home, that is an excuse everyone accepts. Yes.

Anyway, the rest of my day was basically just attempting to get my ass into gear and prep for that (it went. badly. but I got there in the end and if the present was wrapped extremely shittily well, whatever, it's memorable I guess), and then once I was home just. Jiii-face pancaking. Yes. Bleh.

Tomorrow, there will be painting! In colour!!!! Yesssss. :3

Finally actually playing this after a brief stint where I was too annoyed to look at it. (The fact that you can't turn off auto-save in the game pisses me off.)

I'm not very far in yet; only made it to my first advancement match. I'm liking the story and the characters so far, but the gameplay... Look, I like turn-based gameplay. I'll probably at least try to knuckle through to the end of this, but I do miss that from the other games. Add to it the fact that the 3D camera is making me kinda dizzy, and, well.

Honestly, a replay of Fire Red and/or Leaf Green and watching the cut scenes/a Let's Play on YouTube is looking pretty appealing by comparison.

Current Mood: nauseated

I went to ‘Wuthering Heights’ last night, spontaneously, and enjoyed myself. Cried copiously at the end (as well as the montage after Cathy’s marriage). Although I also appreciate the woman in the audience who on the very final shot said, ‘What the fuck?’ Indeed.

I haven’t read the book, so have no feelings about the film as adaptation. I do apparently think that period-breaking is okay, but NOT with plastic dresses. No plastic please.

Also, getting rid of Heathcliff’s beard was a mistake. Pre-timeskip with long hair and beard = hot; clean-shaven and short hair = not. It’s not like I’m even into beards! Or so I thought -_-

That's all I got done painting-wise, but fuckit. Done with undercoat!!! This included another round of sand and fill, for the lower walls. Can't be fucked for the upper walls, might sand them when doing more cornice shit but ugh, moving the ladder around constantly is just. So annoying.

( Rambles )

In cooking news, which is what I was focusing on today, I did in fact use the food processor on all the zucchini I had picked and I got... somewhat more than NINE FUCKING CUPS worth. What. That's absolutely ridiculous! That's six more loaves of bread, is what it is! HALF A DOZEN LOAVES.

Anyway, I chucked the bit over into the pasta sauce I was making, as well as shredding the carrots in the bottom of the fridge that were still good, so now I have delicious bolognaise! :V :V :V So, pasta for a while, yesss. :3

Tomorrow, I'm not sure how much painting I'll get done - it's my cousin's engagement party, and I'm kind of obligated to go and take the present, since everyone else can't go. Also, you know, family event, should go, etc. etc.

Anyway that starts at kittydinnertime, so I'll need to be clean and dressed up fancy (...and wrap the present, I keep forgetting to do that) before then. So uh. No painting until AFTER I get home, I get too much paint on me. (Even after washing all the stuff I still have paint on my hands from today orz orz orz. That's WITH the scrapey soap!!!)

My auntie's picking me up and dropping me off, and hopefully she won't want to stay too late - she lives pretty far away and has dogs, so - but depending on How Much Social I may be pretty pancaked by the time I get back. Soooo we'll see, I guess!
