So at work cohort yesterday, I volunteered to read, which I've been trying to avoid, just cuz... I dunno. I will happily read Shakespeare out loud with my pals, but reading out loud to strangers reminds me too much of childhood and being put on the spot and getting teased for not being able to pronounce certain letters right.

Anway. I read my section, and someone else in cohort that I had been messaging sent me a very sweet message saying, "thank you for reading, you have a very soothing, calming, trusting voice sir" and then called me Mr T-- and I just about diiiiied. She's from the south and always calls every Ms -- and Mr -- which is just adorable now that I'm mostly over hating the very gendered nature of it, but eeeee apparently when I read it's not painfully obvious and that makes me very happy indeed.

I've spent most of my writing "career" – since 2008 or so – writing science fiction and fantasy. Most of the books and short stories I've read have been in the SFF genre, as have the video games I've played and shows and movies I've watched. It's been my focus, but recently I've been wondering…why?

Is it because I was introduced to it when I was younger? Because it's what the vast majority of genre fiction focuses on, so it's what I think I should be doing as well? Because nerd culture is dominated by it? Because I want to feel like I'm superior to fans of other, lesser genres?

There's a reason, somewhere. I'm sure of it. However, I don't particularly want to theorize at the moment, as I haven't actually done that much thinking about it and don't want this blog post to comprise entirely of rambles. I can do that in my own private journal.

For the past few years, my interest in both reading and writing has been shifting away from SFF and toward weird and horror. I've only tried writing weird fiction so far, not so much horror, but it feels like it comes to me more naturally than writing science fiction and fantasy ever did. If anything, it holds my interest a lot longer. Or maybe I've simply started to figure out what I'm actually interested in.

I do have days where I'm exhausted and burnt out from the other things in my life, of course. But I don't feel like I'm forcing myself into some kind of box or trying to pull out my own teeth anymore, and that's what a lot of my SFF writing felt like.

So, I think I'm going to continue this weird/horror focus for a while. It will be interesting to see where it takes me.

I am two years overdue on moving my pictures from my Camera Uploads folder on my dropbox to my external harddrive/online only dropbox folder. So far I've done about 50GB, around 6 months and have just moved up to the end of March 2025. Since the Camera Uploads folder is mirrored on my computer harddrive, it takes up a ton of space if I haven't moved things out of it in a while. In an ideal world, I'd do the transfer every two months. I ought to go looking through and print some photos out, which is something I enjoy doing every couple of years.

I have hung two pieces of art in my crafting room using command strips. I have decided that's how I'm going to hang most things since the plaster and lathe walls don't exactly hold things well. I have a whole crate of used frames for art prints and posters which my aunt gave to me. Some need new cardboard backing but I'm excited to hang art! I think I will make some collages of photos and art as well. Main struggle is getting things to stay in place . Also had an absolute galaxy brain moment the other day when I started winding the warp to go on my loom: the warping board can be clamped to the front beam of my loom and it is the perfect height to wind a warp. The best ergonomics for winding ever. Previous places I have put it: on the floor leaning against a table, on my crafting chair arms, on the couch. All of those require leaning over or sitting on the floor. This is such a good change.

We spread another two loads of straw this morning to empty the trailer before it got windy and I reassembled the chainsaw. It's usable if cranky, which describes most equipment on this farm. It was having issues cutting, would more or less just stop once it got partway into the log and it seems like the bar was the problem. We ran through all the other things, sharpened chain, tightened it, cut maple instead of the pin oak, etc. I switched to an alternate bar and it actually started cutting. Spent some time this afternoon cutting up a maple tree that will be burner wood probably and also my dad got a call that the guy brought a load of oak logs. I wanted to replace the rim sprocket on the chainsaw because it's getting worn but the piston stop I bought is plastic, it was taking too much force to remove the clutch drum and I was worried about the plastic breaking and getting into the piston which would be a big pain to get out. The small chainsaw is still out of order, so we might take that to someone to fix, it runs for 15 seconds and then shuts off no matter what, so mystery. I wonder about finding a small engine repair course of some sort, we have chainsaws, weedwackers, pumps, generators, snowblowers all here on the farm. They break a lot. Could be our maintenance. We are running for more straw tomorrow afternoon.

My farm business stuff is progressing. I haven't really talked about it much, but it is happening. My parents attorney did all the paperwork for me, so now I have the EIN and operating agreement, which I'll need to set up banking accounts and go to other businesses for things. My parents are currently footing the expenses until that's all set up, but we are considering it an operating loan for now. I need to do research on the banks/credit unions and figure out who will be good to work with. We are getting back to weekly farm transition meetings so much discussion of things is happening. I am taking a six week webinar on farm insurance. thrilling stuff

There are spoilers for Control as well as the trailer for Control Resonant. Read at your own risk if you haven't played the game.

Welcome to the Oldest House.

Outside of the Oldest House

The Oldest House, headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control. 34 Thomas Street, New York City – an address that doesn't exist in reality. Clearly inspired by 33 Thomas Street, the AT&T Long Lines Building: a windowless, brutalist skyscraper that's supposedly used as an NSA surveillance station.

The Oldest House can't be found except by people who are looking for it, and Jesse Faden, our protagonist, definitely is. Her younger brother, Dylan, was taken by FBC agents 17 years prior, and she's been trying to find him ever since. The trail of clues (or, rather, Polaris, a being who's been with Jesse for quite a while) has finally led her here.

When I first played this game, I didn’t bother turning around and looking out onto the street from the lobby. I did that this time, and found something pretty interesting: a poster on the bus stop labeled "THE HOUSE", with what looks like a tall, skinny tower, or a pole and a hand pressed against it.

Looking out from the lobby of the Oldest House at the bus stop.

Looking out from the lobby of the Oldest House at the bus stop.

Jesse enters the House, finds out there's some kind of lockdown going on, and meets a friendly face: the janitor, Ahti, who tells Jesse she's here for an interview to become the janitor's assistant. He points out the location of the elevator. That elevator is in the lobby, where you start the game, and does not exist until Ahti mentions it. Ahti also responds to Jesse's inner monologue, which Jesse doesn't notice.

The elevator takes Jesse into the Executive Sector. She isn't there very long until she hears a gunshot from the Director's Office – Zachariah Trench, director of the Federal Bureau of Control, has shot himself for some reason. Polaris directs Jesse to pick up the gun – the Service Weapon – and Jesse is taken to the Astral Plane, given instructions (and a combat tutorial) by the Board, and becomes the new director of the FBC.

The Service Weapon currently takes the form of a gun, but the Case File Service Weapon (OOP1-KE) mentions that it may have taken other forms in the past: Excalibur, Mjolnir, Varunastra. The Board itself refers to the service weapon as <The Gun/Sword/Intentionally left blank>, which probably confirms that theory.

CONTROL RESONANT THOUGHTS BELOW:

Jesse stands over dead Trench in the Director's Office.

Jesse stands over dead Trench in the Director's Office.

"I'm happy to be here", says Jesse, standing over the corpse of a dead man whose blood is splattered all over the floor and desk.

Jesse receives a strange message from Trench, telling her that there's something threatening the Oldest House, and she's got to keep the Bureau safe. Upon leaving the Director's Office, we see that that threat is some kind of menacing red light, which Polaris prevents from infecting Jesse. We fight out first real enemies, which Jesse later names the Hiss, and receive another message from Trench, telling Jesse to reach the Hotline.

Shiny reflections in the Executive Sector cafeteria.

Shiny reflections in the Executive Sector cafeteria.

By the way, I'm playing with ray tracing turned on and the game looks amazing.

Jesse fights her way through more Hiss until she reaches Central Executive, removes the Hiss influence from the Control point, and finds out that a couple of people have holed up in a safe room. One of these people is Emily Pope, the assistant of Dr. Darling. We don't know who he is right now, but he becomes a very important person throughout the game.

Emily explains that the Hiss somehow got into the building and have infected everyone who isn't wearing an HRA. Emily's urging, Jesse tries to purge the Hiss from one of the floating FBC employees, but it doesn’t work and the person ends up dead.

Jesse tells Emily that her hometown was the site of an event (an Altered World Event) that the FBC came in and covered up. It's apparently very classified, and Dr. Darling, who created the Hedron Resonance Amplifiers, the HRAs, knew a lot about it – but he's missing. So did Trench – and he's freshly dead, even if he is talking to Jesse somehow.

The next mission is to find the Hotline, an old Bakelite telephone used to communicate directly with the Board.

The Hotline Chamber.

project: get my parents moving on projects is going well, I helped my mom paint most of a room in the rental this afternoon, high priority since they finally have renters moving in feb 1st. it took 30 mins of her flitting around doing sanding and wandering away and me taping things and then we got to painting. I rollered and she did brush touchups of corners and edges. I'll need to roller the main areas again tomorrow but progress! There is a second room and then we'll switch to their house doing primer on some walls there.

My phone has decided to receive group text messages again, verizon must have changed something on their end. I'm still using a unihertz phone and just accepted that I wouldn't receive group texts, the only ones I am regularly in are my family group chat or my parents and I. So I could just ask my parents if there was group texts in the family group chat. This actually worked okay. Not great, but I didn't miss much. But something changed, I now get all the group texts.

early bedtime today I think, two loads of straw spread, moved a bunch of equipment, pulled a lot of twine out of the straw shredder too.

Still not dead yet!

Major stuff I've read lately:
- Plot and Structure by James Scott Bell - A somewhat dated but solid book on plot and structure. It's kind of genre-oriented rather than literary-oriented, and very much toward the mystery and thriller genres, but it's got some very good advice on plot and characters, which I imagine many subsequent books on plot and characters have repeated and reworked in the meantime.

- The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel - A really good book to read early on when you're investigating the personal-finance-o-sphere. This is not a cookbook, 'do this' sort of personal finance book, but more a "seriously think about how you THINK about money before you set your goals" kind of book. I've read a lot in this sphere, and still I thought this was an excellent and fresh take, highlighting how some serious introspection can help you avoid serious mistakes.

- How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be by Katy Milkman - ...meh? I dunno, maybe I've read too much in this area to find this particularly thrilling. Also, it suffers a bit from being too "explain the experiments" to really appeal to the average reader while at the same time just rehashing things that actual informed readers already know. So, it retreads some common ground, I felt.

- Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots - I've now read this book three times, and still love it. A witty, exciting story about a former hench who gets injured by a superhero and uses her considerable data analysis-fu skills to calculate the cost in property damage and human life of deploying superheroes/WMDs for basic crime. This gets her hired by the world's scariest supervillain, and away we go. A neat world mashup of super heroes and corporate drudgery, with a lot to say on exploitation and capitalism. Also I loved the main character's voice and I am WAITING (not so) PATIENTLY for the sequel that's set to come out in a few months, as I really, really want to see how Anna's arc progresses and how her relationship with Leviathan evolves.

Reading now:
- Reading the next Morgan Housel book, The Art of Spending Money. Am less impressed than with The Psychology of Money, mostly because i'm about a third of the way in and it's making the exact same points. It also seems, more than Psychology of Money, focused on the problems of rich people (all the ways super rich people fritter away their money) rather than issues seen by more average folks. I've also started reading Little Bosses Everywhere, which...someone here might have suggested? Interesting book on MLM/pyramid scheme history.

Outlining has slowed down a little now that I'm back at work, but I'm still writing consistently. I have a real title and have changed the setting a little bit. That will require rewriting the early parts of the outline and some parts of the worldbuilding. I've also removed some characters in order to have a smaller, more manageable cast.

I'm hoping to have the outline done by the end of the month. Four out of six acts are complete, so this is looking to be pretty likely. After that, I'm most likely going to move on to outlining part three of The Sundered Worlds. I'm definitely not prepared or ready to do any actual prose writing yet.

Challenge 5: In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.!

Truth be told I’m not a wishlist person! Anything I want I usually try to get it myself (that and I don’t wanna seem like a burden or like I’m asking too much xD).

However, if I might ask for ONE thing, it’s for all of us to have the strength to survive out of spite and love yourself despite the horrors!

2025 was fucking ROUGH, and I can only imagine it’s gonna get worse before it gets better. In that same vein, a stupid part of me is still holding out hope that maybe this “life” shit is worth trudging through, so the above is all I’ll ask. xD

Take care of yourselves out there. ❤️

things melted last week and everything was mud, so I got a couple days break from spreading straw. weirdly, my problem elbow hurt more when I wasn't using it constantly than when I was. Not sure what's up with that. The temperature dropped again, so the ground froze again. Did another load at dawn this morning but discovered a belt had worn weirdly on the shredder, so I need to run to town today and get a new one before we shred more.

The pottery class I was going to take isn't actually available on Wed, their only evening hours are mondays from 5-8 and they only just updated that on facebook and haven't emailed me back. I'm busy that night, so that's out. I could theoretically do day classes but with how short the days are, any daylight is needed for work hours especially if I need extra warmup time between morning and afternoon. ETA: I found another studio with wed classes and easier signup procedures. done.

I did go to spinners guild on sunday and it was a gosh dang delight including one of the longer term guild members coming this time who is queer in so many ways and everyone was lovely to him. It was so so so nice and relaxing. I think for the next meeting I'm going to get either my electric wheel battery up and running or take my smaller wheel and start an alpaca spin on it. My CPW is too big and loud for the space we've been meeting in. I got there right at 1pm and was still one of the later arrivals, so clearly I need to get there even earlier :)

We have started the wood stove indoors back up, so that's nice. I missed it. We ran out of wood that size and it had gotten warm, so there was less point in running it. Dad got on the roof and cleaned the chimney out while it was off, so that was nice and split some of the wood at the rental into wood stove size for both their house and mine.

I did kickstart my parents into doing work on their house! I sanded their office floor and then mom cleaned it and we sealed and finished it together. Definitely one of those times where it would have been faster with just one person, but so be it. My dad has been working on their living room wall drywall which is next in line. They do have renters moving into the rental Feb 1, so there is painting to be done there, plus some other small misc stuff. Parents' house also needs paint so I will be helping with some amount of painting. I didn't do drywall in my upstairs bathroom yet as expected, but I'm planning to later this week when dad is around to help me move the drywall outside to cut and then upstairs to get in place. They do have an extremely firm deadline of house renovations of June when my dad's college buddies are coming to visit, so there's that. We did discover that nice foosball tables are extremely heavy and it would be good to have more than two people to get it in a bilco basement door. I didn't get squished but it was very very heavy. After we got it down there, my dad said, you know, I think it did say something about being over 200lbs. hmm. thanks dad. Although we would have had to get a cousin or something to come help, which my parents are slightly allergic to asking for help, so I dunno if that would have happened anyway. We do have a vague plan to get the floor done which is good and there is progress happening. Given my parents hated the smell of the seal and finish, we are waiting to move them into the house until the living room/dining room/kitchen are all sealed and finished.

Winter is one of those times where I am just sleepy a lot, so I do accept this as a fact of life but also am fully aware that I am relatively isolated from the local area. In NY, I had an established friend groups, I had places I could go when I wanted a little socializing or crafting with folks, all sorts of things. Here I don't have any of that, so I'm trying to find something. Over the summer, I was so busy with the farm that I didn't really notice, but now I really can tell. To be fair, I have three nights a week where I have weekly social opportunities, but they are all digital. I know I need to push myself and get out there but it's hard and farm work is a bit unpredictable with when we need to run for straw and things. So spinners guild was excellent. I'm hoping to go to a meetup this saturday, although I'll be missing gaming with Jade that night for it. I need to do something thur/fri nights. And maybe some saturdays during the day. Hmm.

threeforthememories is off to a great start! You have until January 24th to make your own post. I made mine today about my 2025.

2) Speaking of things to rec, saw the film House of Dynamite and thought it was wonderfully done –- except for the ending. ( Read more... )

I do think that its structure was helpful, given that just 10 minutes in there is a lot starting to go on, and it helped to have it reinforced with repeated elements.

3) Another yes from me was for the series The Beast in Me. This is mostly because I thought it was particularly well done. I'm not a big fan of the murderous husband/neighbor type thriller because they're always guilty and one of my DNW is gaslighting elements. But I thought this was a particularly well developed story and one with less "shocking twist!" than unexpected surprises that relate to character development.

4) The documentary about the making of Frozen 2 was very interesting, and rather surprising, in seeing how Disney approaches making an animated film. I'd think that -- given the costs and enormous amount of labor -- they would have a script nailed down before starting. And not just a draft, but one that had been run past the internal focus groups, had a table reading done by the cast, etc. Instead they scrapped tons of work from animators, some of which took them a year, because they kept veering back and forth on elements of the story, rewriting the central songs, etc. ( Read more... )

5) The re-release of the Beatles Anthology on Disney+ promised a new episode and remastered footage. It certainly looked very good, but as I'd seen it during its 1990s release, I noticed more about the big gaps in it. ( Read more... )

Whelp, it has been a week and a half of the new year and hoo boy has it been a doozy so far.

I don't really want to get into the politics of everything, but it surely has been weighing on my mind quite heavily.

I suppose I should mention at least briefly for posterity, because ugh. ( cut for politics )

ANYWAY on to the life updates and stuff.

- I started doing the Hybrid Calisthenics workouts via the app, and oof. I am so out of shape, it's ridiculous. I looked at it and was like, hey, this'll be easy. HA. I did three days and had to take a break because I was so sore. And then the next day was a physio day, and I've decided that's going to be a non-HC-workout day anyway. Annoyingly, because my physio days move around, I can't just set my rest day on the app and be done with it.

- I started ANOTHER part-time job, this time doing bookkeeping/accounting for a business someone I know just started. It's such a mess already, omg. It took me FIVE HOURS to fix the mess she made of her accounting software and get everything to balance and reconcile correctly. She also has zero clue what she's doing, because she sent me a message with a list of vendors that she said we needed to 1099, and I'm like... no? we don't? These are vendors, not contractors? She's just so clueless, and doesn't seem to have done ANY research into how to start a business/corporation, which is so frustrating to me. Like, who starts a huge, costly project like this without doing ANY kind of research to find out what you need?

- The good news is, with that new job, I can afford to go see Suzy Eddie Izzard's one-person Hamlet production, so we're making plans for that in a couple of weeks. Very fortunately, my work schedule is such that on Friday I get off at 1pm, and then don't go back to work until 3pm the next day, so being down in LA for an 8pm show will be doable and getting back late won't be harmful to my sleep either, haha.

- cohort and tax job continue; the other day I was horrified when only one person (me, humblebrag) answered a fairly basic question correctly. Seriously. Which of these four options counts as a capital asset, and NO ONE ELSE GOT IT RIGHT?!? How did these people qualify to be tax preparers? I also made the mistake earlier of telling the teacher that I had been an ATL and CSP prior, and now she expects me to know things. Whoops.

- discovered that the 1099s that the IRS sent us were very weirdly NOT carbon copies like they usually are, despite being formatted like carbon copies. Was I clever and did I discover this BEFORE I did all the typing? No, of course not. In any case, we have some time, so we're trying to get an account with the IRS to file them online rather than doing the typey-typey, because I always fuck up so many times. Our other option is to send in the forms we have, and use the PDF form to send to the contractors, but that requires so much more effort. Ugh. I am, however, doing better at tracking my work hours for mom, and I will Not Let Myself Fail to Invoice this year.

- health stuff! Got my PCP changed on my insurance to my actual PCP for the first time in literal years. I guess that's one nice thing about them switching IPAs; they all have to take new patients again, so I can sneak in officially. I also have an appt with my pcp for next week, so we can get the hand specialist worked out, and discuss all the other Things. I need to make sure I write up my list of things to bring up before then. Physio levelled up, they're giving me more resistant items to squeeze and pull and so forth, so that's nice? Progress is being made! Also had my yearly eye doc appointment, so I'm trying out different contacts since the ones introduced last year kinda sucked. We're also going back to same rx in both eyes because my right eye is right in between the two powers. This new brand of contacts seems better so far - the old ones seemed really flimsy, and would blink out super easily, or fold in my eye and jam up under the eyelid, which was no fun.

- I *almost* got to work as a handler at ALA this weekend, and then couldn't because of the dang schedule. I was trying So HARD to make it work, but then they found someone who could work all four days, and I could only do three. But they said they would put me on their list, so hopefully if they have shows with more advance notice (the discussion happened on Tuesday, the con started Thursday) I'll be able to do some more gigs. (I am also sad because a lot of my friends are work in New Orleans this weekend at a con, but I was not picked for it.) (more therapy fodder, yaaaay)

- Dad and I are watching Blood River as the evening show, but it hasn't really been holding my attention very well and I'm not sure why. Possibly because the story is sort of a prequel, but also sort not, because the writer realized he didn't like what he'd done with the characters originally and decided he wanted to re-work them? So things don't quite fit into what has already been laid out story wise. I joined a group watch tonight of the first six episodes of My Lady General, which is gonna be fun, and hopefully I'll be able to see the rest of the eps. Sunday was the B5 group watch, which is great fun because we're up to Babylon Squared and that set of episodes, which is just SO GOOD.

Next week is going to be busy busy busy. I have my first tax appointment on the schedule; hopefully he shows up and has his paperwork so I can actually do the thing and get those first time jitters over with. Shakes comes back this week too; I asked everyone to please double check their schedules and let me know if they foresee any missed dates so I can go ahead and get casting done now while it's calm and not while I'm stressed with tax work. We'll see if that actually works, ha. I also have So Much Work to do for mom, that I really need to get done this week. Maybe I'll take one of my non-tax work days and go sit at the shop and do work there.

Goals for the upcoming week: Survive the tax appointment. Finish work for mom. Get in the habit of doing regular HC workouts.
Good things: fuzzy blankets (always). surprisingly good headshots for work. my elephant slippers.
