I feel like all of life is that Inigo Montoya "No, it is too much, let me sum up" line, all the time. Everything happens so much.
Got a rejection from Uncanny; need to figure out if I have something else I can throw at them before they close submissions Wednesday. Have a few other pieces in submission various places. Working on a story that just kind of happened rather than has a prompt, which produces the slightly surreal-to-people-around-me process of me asking a variety of people whether it's funnier to name a werewolf 'Linda' or 'Veronica'.
I cannot brain. I'm horribly behind on my programming class and really need to pick that up again and make some progress, at least to get to the part where I'm getting Unity 101 even if I don't finish the homework. I'm deep in the weeds on edits for something I haven't announced.
Every so often my brain locks up and I sort of belch out another chunk of design for an RPG system I'm building around the Fog and Brass stories (I took a class on how to turn a novel into an RPG system and it was kind of awesome and I got one key idea from that class and the other key idea from talking to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
artan). I'm still going around and around on how to make systems go given what I want to do with stats but that is a thing. I talked with mindways about design a bit, like one might. (And woop, there's my brain producing another outline sketch for a category. [takes a break from writing here to take notes...])
We blitz-cleaned the basement playroom which looked like an explosion in a Lego factory lightly strewn with an explosion in a Matchbox car factory, plus tiny pinecones. As part of this, I got KJ to clean Mo's tank, and we have upgraded his decor and put in clean bedding.
Um. That's some things.
Dependency hell updates, though:
-artan finished the little shelves for the bathroom, he and I hung them up, and then I proceeded to fill them with the crap that was strewn around the bathroom because it had nowhere to live; this reduces the stress of the bathroom existing by about 20% and will improve more when I scrub down the six square inches of counter space it actually has now that I can see it
-artan has also primed the bedroom half, done the ceiling, painted most of the trim, and done one layer of paint; remaining to do for paint: second layer of paint, putting the curtains back up so we can take the makeshift curtains down and paint the beam, the closets
- We have made significant decisions and verbal agreement on the work on the front of the house with the mason, and now need to get Insulation Guy back to do the trim work (sequence here is, I think, trim work, surface prep can be done any time after that the mason has a free afternoon, and mason has a time block free sometime in early October to do the work-work)
