Usurpation?

Welp, I spent last hour filling out my absentee ballot request, and now I'm acquiring dinner. How did the first hour treat you?

Listening to archival stuff. And reading post - Infinity War fic.

[xandromedovna]

ooo, what kinda archive?

[juliet316]

AO3 , under the 'Avengers: Infinity War Part 1' tag. I love to torture myself, apparently.

[xandromedovna]

I haven't seen it yet but from the memes alone it looks like an emotional trainwreck

[juliet316]

Me neither, but I spoiled myself and yeah, just pure emotional trainwreck.

Dang, I started to post and then fell sideways down a rabbit hole! I've actually finished one part of my project (lowest-hanging fruit) and am moving on to the next. At the moment, I am researching standard Latin texts for university diplomas.

[xandromedovna]

those sideways rabbit holes are quite the nuisance! Interesting, my B.A. diploma is in Latin

[lolmac]

Oo, cool! How good is your Latin?

[xandromedovna]

I took it for a year like a decade ago so I remember some things but it's a little rusty lol

I finished a drabble for 31_days!

I'll probably manage some of my inbox-clearing adventures in the morning, but right now I'm eating dinner and getting ready for work.

[lolmac]

If we get really punchy later in the round, we could write crackfic about your inbox. Would a host of ninja penguins with flamethrowers help, do you think?

[kalloway]

So I actually checked and my gmail is a 2004-beta-needed-an-invite account and while I've probably deleted a few things since then... yeaaaah...

Ninja penguins with flamethrowers would definitely help.

[teigh_corvus]

Wrote a poem about ghosts and daisy chains.

[lolmac]

Cool!

My computer had a massive crash earlier this week, so while I have managed to get it chugging along again, I am now having to restore from backups. Which means I have discovered that I am missing 2 days' worth of writing on my current WIP. I mean, it's rewriteable and it was mostly just consolidating and reorganizing of some existing text, but damn, I'm irritated with myself for not backing up every single day.

Anyway, that's the plan for this 48 hour set. Sleep, regain my optimism, and dive back in to get myself back on track.

[xandromedovna]

oh no! at least most of it was saved, but still that's like my worst nightmare :o Luckily, the Rush is still young so plenty of time to catch back up!
