I had a great time with

qwentoozla yesterday evening, we had drinks and dinner and ice cream and did a little sightseeing and shopping on Haight street and had some terrific conversation and heard some great music.
Also, L. called me that afternoon and we had a long phone conversation, they don't have a new job yet but it's only been a couple of weeks and they're not worried. Unfortunately the doctors say the person L. was taking care of will have to stay in assisted living indefinitely.

Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao is the sequel to Iron Widow, where Zetian co-pilots giant robots to fight aliens.

The plot now focuses on dismantling capitalism and keeps deconstructing gender roles.

There's major bi4bi m/f (a pairing I didn't like, but was probably not supposed to like much anyway?), minor f/f, as well as an enby character who appears towards the end. I seriously missed the m/m/f from Book 1 and might not buy the next book.

Looking forward to meeting

Had some Pride of the Port tea. My legs are fucking killing me. Yesterday I got a notice in the mail that they may cut off my Medi-cal if I don't fill out this form and hand deliver it to their office. I filled most of it out but some of the questions are pretty complicated and I'm not sure how to answer them. Also I have to go to the hardware store and get more glue traps. I thought I killed all the damn mice but apparently not.

Didn't get much sleep last night, I had bad dreams and woke up at like 4 in the damn morning and it took me hours to fall back asleep again. Had some PG tips which helped a little. I do have to get a lot of groceries this morning, I don't have a car, it's Tuesday which means it's senior discount day at the grocery outlet, lots of butter readers.

Had some Ahmad English Tea No.1. I had fun at the Castro Street Fair but I fell down in the stupid Bart train so my leg really fucking hurts and I don't feel up to going to get groceries even though I should, I'm running low on or out of a lot of things, plus I did laundry after I got home from the fair yesterday and I had to go all over the bldg to do it because the machines on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor were all either busted or somebody else was using them.

Netflix's k-movie Mantis was a lot of fun! It's a spin-off of Kill Bok-soon and focuses on other hired killers originally from the same agency.

I think this one has more humour and more found family feels, but it's also very violent, of course.

+ All I've done since making it home is sleep, download some stuff, watch the entire season of Wayward, and play undemanding video games. Man have I slept. Would like to lie down right now and sleep some more, but I'm headed back to work for the day (we abruptly left Thursday instead of Friday as planned, so I left behind a wee bit more chaos that I'm comfortable with).

Surprisingly smooth ride on the ferry though, given the weather.

+ Dear Vidder letters for Festivids are cropping up, and they're such a pleasure to read through. Aww fandom ❤️

+ Hunting down the digital singles for Birds of Prey, bc waiting for the trade to drop in six months is just not on the table. More Big Barda and Tiny Bat NOW. And they cancelled it, so I ain't giving them extra money, no sir :p

Now to figure out how to read them in an enjoyable manner.

Oh! And posted some scans to

capshare from the second and third trade.

+ Watched the new Fantastic Four. It was cozy! I'm enjoying this new return to more child-friendly superhero movies. Like, I can see letting my nephew watch both this and the new Superman movie with me. I don't need all this dark stuff for grownups; the world is dark enough as is, gimme escapism!

Not much going on right now, the cops were in the bldg earlier this morning but I stayed out of the way and don't know what it was about. It was pretty noisy late last night, I closed the window even though it was really warm because I couldn't sleep otherwise.

I went out today looking for a couple of places I really liked but they went out of business. :( I also went to Nabolom Bakery looking for skull cakes but they haven't started doing those yet, the guy there said they're not going to start till next week. I'm too into Halloween for my own good, haha, but those skull cakes are YUMMY!

Demon Slayer Movie: Infinity Castle was one of the best cinematographic experiences I've ever had!

The Infinity Castle already looked awesome on the small screen (think of the architectural effects in Inception), it was absolutely amazing on the big one. The background music was perfect for the action scenes. If you have the opportunity to watch it this way, I highly recommend it.

I don't feel too good today, I don't think I'll go out at all.

The first episode of the GL anime This Monster Wants to Eat Me was intriguing! A mermaid protects a high school girl until she gets to eat her. ^^

It's available on Crunchyroll.

----------
Netflix's j-drama Alice in Borderland Season 3 was great!

I missed Chishiya and Kuina, but good for them that they didn't have to go through more death games. Along with Arisu and Usagi, there's a new protagonist, Ryuji, who uses a wheelchair.

+ My brain is mush. We dock sometime during tonight, so tomorrow will be another hectic day. Thankfully come Friday I shall have freedoooommmm.

+ I want a Big Barda icon but I'm too zapped to make one *sulk*

Maybe after I've had my shower.

+ Not helping: my mom constantly asking me when I can come see her in Oslo, and for plans this Christmas when she'll be visiting and living at my brother's. I do not have capacity for this. Love her to bits but it's tough to convey that SOCIAL BANK EMPTY, PLAN QUEUE FULL.

+ Booked my flu shot for next Thursday. Apparently they're not doing Covid shots at the doctor anymore, boo. And the only information I can find is that it becomes available week 42. Hopefully I manage to get in there early enough that it will mostly be in full effect by the time I go to Thailand.

+ One Battle After Another will be showing at the small local cinema next week. There's been some very positive buzz. I may try to lure some friends to come with.

+ Decided to try and move away from using GoodReads, and so far StoryGraph seems a good fit. I know there's quite a few options out there, but I only made it through two before settling on StoryGraph. (Fable being the second option, but just way too busy for me. Someone looking for a move involved and social experience might vibe with it!)

One of the fun things is you can make your own book lists or challenges. I started putting together a small Queer Comics one. I could only find two other comic/graphic novel challenges by searching, so that's certainly a void in need of filling ~~that's what she said~~.

Anyways, I'm here, in case anybody else is stretching their wings.

Well, dumbasses fucked up again, I had been paying less rent than I was supposed to for two months without them bothering to tell me so I had to pay them extra just now. And my father isn't answering his phone.

Yesterday after the guy fixed my toilet they asked me to go down to the apt bldg main office to do the recertification. All I had to do was sign a couple of papers. They've been doing these ever since they took over this bldg and the first time I had to turn in lots of bank statements and call the SS on their office phone and fill out a million forms (and they lost some and claimed I didn't give them to them in the first place!) and every other time it was only a few forms and now all it is is two signatures. And at first they made everybody in the bldg do it at the same time and now they don't and it used to be once every nine months and this time I went over a year and a half before they had me do it again.

I like discovering and listening to music, and sometimes I feel like I want to share it with others.

The maintenance guy fixed my toilet and I had a great time with my friends yesterday. We hung out at their place and had yummy food and we also went to this really nice cafe near their house and did a little shopping.

Guess who picked up a super fun comic, tore through three trades, then wanted to find folks talking about it and searched on BluSky... to find it got cancelled the very day she picked it up? AYUP.

Why aren't people buying super fun team comics?? *shakes fist at universe*
(yes it was cancelled due to poor sales)

The comic in question? Birds of Prey, written by Kelly Thompson. It had team! Quips! Competency! Siblings! Big Barda and Tiny Bat!! Muscles and mind-controlled beefcakes!

The last issue comes out in December and I'd prefer to pick up the trade. When I went to check if we'd even get volume 4 - comics! they treat us so well! - there was some good sprinkled in there. Firstly, she's pitching a new book at DC featuring a couple of the characters from BoP. My feral mind is slamming both fists on the table, chanting "Big and tiny! Big and tiny!" Probably not but gimme.

Secondly, Thompson's heading up the new Buffy and Angel run at Dynamite!

In my early days trying to figure out how to be a writer and what stories mattered to me and why — no heroine quite broke through for me like Buffy Summers.

She was somehow everything my young geek heart had always wanted but hadn’t known to ask for. Something about that delicate alchemy of horror, fantasy, and comedy paired with a hero so pure of heart and yet flawed and relatable was… impossible to deny. I fell deeply in love with Buffy, and following that, her whole world. Her ex-boyfriend is now a supernatural detective in Los Angeles you say? Inject it directly into my veins! But unlike a lot of other worlds I loved, the world of Buffy and Angel somehow never fell to the wayside. I could always come back to it and find something new, or something I’d missed, or something I needed. And I hope this new story we’re telling can do the same for old and new fans everywhere.

Thank god BOOM! lost the license because oof. Outside of the pretty covers and first issue, that was rough to say the least.

But I'm excited for this! We could, dare I say it, get a good Buffy comic.
