Nice things to watch etc

I say I'll try and talk more and then I go silent for a week.

... I realised how many tabs I have open and un replied to and how far back they go and it started to feel overwhelming. Most of what I'd say is just, like, hope you are well, hope you have nice days, that sounds like a nice day. I feel like I need to restart having actual conversations, but those need content.

So.

Havent been doing much lately, but, did a little this week.

I like my watch that tells me to do Move and Stand and Exercise. I am still trying to get it to agree with me on what counts as Exercise, it doesnt count all the minutes. On Saturday it did a challenge to walk a mile so I just walked up and down outside my building until it decided that was far enough.

... I feel kind of like in Legends of Tomorrow when the Fates were telling everyone what to do via technology. Like sure it's great it can be set to remind me things, but, letting it tell me to jump up and move around also feels like step one to dystopian remote control, sometimes.

... but my back feels better when I do the Stand goals, so.



I watched the first three episodes of Agents of SHIELD season one, because mum's house has access to a channel where I can actually watch the latest seasons, which do not appear to be on DVD, but it has been long enough since I last watched that I thought I'd better start at the beginning again.

And then I watched Captain Marvel, because Higher Further Faster. Also, is fun watching them youth people and the 90s jokes are Relatable.



I am really slowing down watching Leverage, because I am on season 5 and soon I will have run out of things I can watch for the first time (in the UK as far as I know)
BUT whenever I sit down to watch Just One Episode, it turns into two or more, because they are so good.


I just now watched The Rundown Job and I want to draw little hearts around it and frame it and keep every single part of it
and also make Eliot go to the hospital omg that... that is not how you self care, Spencer, just... too much ow.

Also when Parker got hurt they all told her to stay still get better so it is his turn now.



I keep imagining crossovers around the edges. Like Redstone books apparently now is a lot of Minecraft results on Google but reminded me of Highlander. Leverage have a very transferable skillset, as long as its all modern enough for Hardison to do his thing. And if it isnt he would make a very excellent wizard.



The more episodes of Leverage I watch the less fun interesting it is for me to compare Eliot and Lindsey, because they each have their own everything. But also I keep getting Feelings about Angel again.

Possibly involving jailbreaks from hell.




I bought a whole stack more Pathfinder books and am having fun with the Lore. Golarion and environs are just adventure generators and then some. It's grand.

There was one section about evil deities that mentioned one Horseman disappeared and his successor is super worried he'll come back
and that crossed in my head with a very different Horseman who left his brothers behind and went off to do different
so now there's a story in my head about a god who got bored and decided not to be evil any more
which is probably not where Pathfinder was going with it, but, is still fun.


Imagine finding someone running a bar in frozen nowhere
and you know there's something up with him, but you think he's probably a retired adventurer or something, like, someone not to mess with, but in scale with your surroundings, right?
But then, you ask for help, and you get sliiiiiiightly more than you bargained for
as a demigod finds a reason to take up power again.

That would go all the way to war in the neutral evil version of hell.

Which always appeals, because neutral evil steals, so there's a whole lot as needs rescue down there.

I'm thinking, God of a Thousand Regrets?




Hmmm, just double checked the lore book and I'd got it in my head it was Famine that disappeared, and had a whole story spun up that kind of fit that, but nope, it was Pestilence. Gee I wonder why I didnt want to think on that one.



I still like the idea of a neutral evil dude wandering off into neutral because there's books and beer there.


Shall ponder.




Also today I printed a few character sheets and printed out the GURPS Spell charts I use the most. Yes I have them on the computer screen too, but. Printer.

I may have used almost all the ink already. If so I am not impressed with how long it lasts, in pages.

Photocopying from books didnt work so well, as per usual goes blurry in the middle where it wont go flat, but I did copy the three pages I needed for character creation from two books that can go back on a shelf now.

Modern technology is cool.



So I guess that is a few things I've done. It just doesnt seem like much when most of the markers of time passing each week have been on hold since march 2020. But we keep on.
