Arcane

Nov. 24th, 2024 12:47 pm
well I accidentally flagged the post I had all typed up.

Basically some thoughts on Netflix's Arcane. A little gloating that Jayce haters can't say that he screwed up and Viktor's hivemind cult was actually a good thing. Also some complaining about Isha, a cute kid plot device that implies that adopting a kid will cure your mental health issues.

Overall I recommend watching Arcane if you haven't already; Season 2 is an imperfect work of art but its still art.
And Happy New year!
To one and all.
I'm doing well; last year my apartment complex was taken over by Monarch and the manager eventually got fed up with them and we've had several managers come and go since. Huge increase in rent partly because Monarch makes us pay for some things the old management didn't and partly because of inflation. Otherwise everything's okay. One of my nieces is going to have a baby and she's getting a shower right before Christmas.

Hope all of you are truly happy with your lives. Happy Thanksgiving.
Another part of my childhood gone but he had a great long life; do many don't.

The day we've been waiting for has come and Trump has left the white house. He never really surprised until that coup/insurrection/psychotic break. What really surprised me more was the huge numbers of people who stood by him, particularly those who thought he was the working class's best buddy.
One week left of 2020 and I can't wait for it to end.


On a more positive note I received the first vaccine injection on Monday because I work for a healthcare hospital and clinic organization though I honestly didn't expect to get it because I don't work with patients but after the employees who worked with patients were vaccinated it was first come first server for the rest of us.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg died today at 87 which was the same age my mother was when she passed away. One of the truly greatest people of our age who made the world a better place.

Ma'am, it was an honor.

update

An update on my real life situation; I was able to transfer to another position in the organization I work. It pays a little more but its a big adjustment since I've gone from evening shift to day shift. I no longer rotate working weekends with a co-worker (who was also able to get a transfer) but I actually liked that because it gave me a chance to exercise at the Heart Center which employees of my workplace get to do at certain times of the day. Other things I liked was parking in the garage and using the cafeteria which sometimes didn't have particularly good food but it meant 3-5 meals per week I didn't have to make.

Now that I've finished whining I'll say that I'm immensely relieved and grateful for this opportunity and the support I've had from family and friends not least my former boss and I realize how fortunate I am. I'm still in the adjustment period but it seems like something I can do; hopefully for at least 15 years.
My position at a hospital, medical records clerk, was eliminated. I worked there for 25 years and I'm hoping to transfer to a new position or I'm left with 4 weeks of severance pay; for 25 years. My boss helped me fill out a couple of applications for Door Screenings in our Brave New World of Covid 19. I managed to get myself credentialed an RHIt which will be phased out by 2027 and 8 years ago I got CPC but I've never done anything with it. Both have felt just like something I just spend dues money on; well over $2000 over the past 25 years and I've tried a little to keep up my medical coding skills. I feel like a dinosaur with their eyes on the asteroid.
Well I'll find out 11pm tomorrow if my tumblr's been deleted or not; I'm joining the Dec 17 boycott of tumblr. Earlier I tried reblogging three shizaya pictures that all featured both of them fully clothed and two of them were flagged. The one that was left alone was bland and focused on the heads while the other two were full body picture with more expressive faces and more dynamic in composition. The day before two more artworks were flagged one with a fully clothed Shizuo and Izaya and the other with just a fully clothed Izaya. Again both of these were better artworks than the one that passed. So even if I keep my tumblr what I have to look forward to is a fraction of the quantity of art that is also blander to what I was able to get.

Looks like tumblr is repeating livejournal's mistakes and I'm assuming I won't be able to export my tumblr to dreamwidth because of the mb limit. I'll look into pillowfort though if anyone knows how to export my tumblr to pillowfort please speak up with easy step by step instructions for a geezer who's never exported before.

Its been obvious for a while that filadex has departed from this world. They've been indispensable for finding and posting homesmut prompts and fills. The two remaining mods said they planned to leave a message on Nov 4 but I think its safe to say its dead. Far as I can tell it looks like they couldn't find an administrator to contact.
Still alive. Still mainly using livejournal though not as much I used to. Most of my time goes into lurking at tumblr but I don't want yet another account and frankly I find much of tumblr's social justice culture offputting.
I actually checked this place out today and selected a theme; if only all my LJ communities were on here!
Hi everybody.
