Hello on Sunday! What kind of a writing day has it been so far today -- or if today hasn't gotten going yet, how did you fare yesterday?

- I thought about my fic once or twice

- I wrote

- I did some planning and/or outlining

- I did research and/or canon review

- I edited

- I've sent my fic off to my beta

- I posted today!

- I'm taking a break

- I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Sunday Discussion: It's a new writing week, and the last week of the current month. How are you doing so far with meeting writing goals for the month?

Disco Elysium is currently 90% off in the Steam summer sale, making it a mere £3.49.

Play Disco Elysium, everybody. Yes, even if you don't play video games.

If you understand the principle of a Choose Your Own Adventure book, have a vague sense that "stats" and "levelling up" are things, and can grasp "click to go to a place/interact with an object," you are sufficiently equipped.

The set and costume designers heard about blue-and-orange color schemes and just decided to run with it. I swear, they bought out everything blue in the store. Even the post-its are blue! And what isn't blue or teal is orange, or tan, or gold.

1. Between when I was talking about it last week and payday, I totally forgot my bonus was coming, so I was pleasantly surprised when I checked my balance today to pay bills!

2. It was very warm and sunny this morning when I walked up to the farmers market. I usually go around ten so that I can pop in the library, too, but this morning it was already seeming waaaaaay too sunny when I was doing my morning chores around eight, so since I didn't have anything urgent I needed to pick up at the library, I went earlier, around nine, and it was still so sunny and not particularly pleasant. But! At the stand that sells fruit leather that I've been frequenting recently, I spotted that they also had bottles of watermelon lemonade, nice and cold, so I got one of those to drink on the walk home and it was perfect! It reminded me of that delicious watermelon lemonade we were getting a bunch last year at DCA, but alas they don't have it this year. Adding the watermelon just makes it feel so much more refreshing.

3. Posing for her portrait.

The Long Weekend

I have bought more dirt though I'm not sure if there will be further plant hijinks this weekend or not.

Back at the beginning of the month, it was announced that there was going to be a Gundam Pop-Up Shop this weekend down in Kentucky and I thought 'well that's only seven hours away' and took a day off- but got talked out of it and a closer location has since been announced... I kept the day off mostly because I've barely used any, the year is half-over, and an extra day off sounded nice. ^^;;

Worked out well because I'll admit that finding out my ancient site was finally going offline did throw me for a bit of a loop. Did I then spend the night frantically archiving? Nope. I finished up HG Sazabi, who is a seriously big boy filled with Yearning, and noodled with some other stuff. And sprawled on my bed and let a cross-breeze blow through my place...

Saturday was mostly fussing around, looking for notes and building a little non-Gundam kit from Sheik Mainland, called a Yunque. Cute little critter, and while I'm not without minor complaints, it was a good build. Started on Starfall, finally, after what, two months of being utterly intimidated?

Going to try to get through a bit of my inbox. It's amazing that no matter what I do, I just don't seem to get anywhere. But, I suppose, it's not getting actively worse, either?

Q Center advertised an event today called Pride Month Art Market today, and today is the day that most cities are doing their main pride. So I headed out. Didn't even think about it. Turned out it was a furry maker's mart that happened to be during pride month and hosted there. Because there is so much crossover between queer and furry here, I didn't notice at first that I was at a furry event. I was just like 'people seem more chill and hey, lots of original designs instead of kits and assets I recognize'. When I left one of the organizers was explaining to someone else who passed by that it was meant to be an event for the community. It was very a 'you can pop in buuuut' energy

Glad I decided to wear my werewolf shirt. I blended on accident. On one hand I am amused, on the other hand... Q Center maybe maybe have clearer comms?

Farmer's Market -- 28 June 2025 (Sickle Day, 10th of Harvest, Year 233)

2 quarts of yellow sweet cherries, 1 quart of blue berries, 1 pint of black raspberries, 1 pint of apricots, 1 lb of black beans, 1 lb popcorn, 1 strawberry lemonade, 1 quart of chocolate milk, bacon-gruyere wheel, almond croissant, and a lemon tart.

The fruit stand that I usually buy from saved me an apricot from their limited selection today -- the benefits of being friendly, remembering everyone's pronouns, and occasionally wearing one of my ace flag pins.
