This story is entertaining. The MC ends up in a novel and thinks how "if character A is supposedly super smart then the rest of the characters must actually be pretty stupid". A few chapters later she confirms her theory.
It's been over 12 hours since I started the oil painting and my monkey brain decided to test if it was dry by touching it. Nevermind that I could see the wet look and know oil paint takes longer. Guess that finger print is gonna be a part of the skyline now.
On the plus side, I bought oil paint. On the negative side, I bought oil paint. I forgot it takes forever to dry so now I'm sitting here, waiting to paint happy little accidents and trying to maintain the creative urge but it's taking so damn long.
I wonder what is taking up so much space on my hard drive... can't possibly be the 150 gigs of music... Definitely has to be that one pdf saved from college...
Only 3 hour til I get to go home and veg out for the weekend. Hopefully I can focus enough to get this painting done... mebbe I should go buy oils and restart...
It's Friday, and I left home at the normal time for bringing the oldest to school... she doesn't have school today so I got to work 20 minutes early. Yay.
Saw old notes from a previous worker today. "Otherize" was in the notes. Just. I... well, it is a word I suppose. Just... definitely not the one the person meant to use, that's for sure. Also showed why the business was hiring...
Oh look, the printer was being weird again until my boss came over to see what was taking me so long. Of course it works when he's there. I swear, the robot uprising is just the electronics dicking around.
Reusing old art from a game I never finished. Only downside was that it was designed for 1280x720 resolution. Guess that'll be fine until I figure out where I saved the originals or just redraw them completely.
Remember folks. Back up anything you're working on because you never know when the engine/software developers will roll out an update that completely wrecks your pre-existing code. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to plan how to transfer this whole thing into Unity or Ren'py. And scream into the void while I'm at it.
Nearly every story Google Ads suggests for me now has the MC's magically assigned sleazy soulmate who does something terrible to break their relationship apart. Or it's about the MC sleeping with their ex's father/brother/co-owner of their company. I have no idea why this is the algorithm now as I've only been reading Apocalypse stories for the last 2 weeks. I think I broke it.
