Back to the inane announcements, I stretched/tore the hell out of some tendons in the ball of my foot last week and I am so sick of sitting in my recliner with it elevated I can't stand it. Luckily for me, it's healing, pretty quickly thanks to the evil that is prednisone and not going into work for a freaking week, but I will still be on limited walking orders for the rest of the month. Since my boyfriend is out of town and I don't drive, this severely limits my weekend excursions downtown. Not loving this situation at all. That reminds me of the time I broke my Coccyx... That probably has to be one of the few times in my adult life that I was in so much pain I was on the verge of tears... Not to mention the awkwardness of trying to explain to my manager at the time, what the hell a Coccyx was. I guess you could say I was the butt end of every joke for a couple of months.

I think I have seen enough pictures of Michael Sam kissing his boyfriend. If people insist on plastering social media with pictures of men kissing, I would prefer a little variety and better picture quality. I realize this is big news for people interested in sports, but there are only so many times I can see the same picture before it turns stale.

I've mentioned before that I live in a basement? Let me just say that you don't quite know how creepy a windowless room with this vast dark space beneath the stairwell is until you're up at midnight reading stuff with just enough creep potential to fuel the worst parts of your imagination. The sudden sensation that there is someone behind you is not at all pleasant, especially when the AC down here is so loud that you'd never hear them coming.

I'd be less concerned with who is watching and more concerned with what is watching.

I started a tumblr, but realized that I don't know how to tumblr.

I've just spent the last hour and a half on FFxiv putting together a set of 13 macros that hold a one-sided conversation between my character and his agent, Soloman, that includes emotes. Hello, is this the offices of Soloman Tayuun, Agent to Heroic Elite? Great. Can I speak to him? I'm a client. Liam Connor...No, with an O Ok, I'll hold.
Hello, Soloman, it's Liam Connor. No, with an O I'm glad you asked. I've been going over these parchments you sent me-
Right, about the heroic adventurer campaign... Well, no, they aren't. That's why I'm calling, actually.
I'm not sure most of this will work.
Ok, for starters, there's this part about the Wyvern...
No, Soloman, I can't ride one into battle.
No, it isn't. Trust me on this.
Soloman, Wyverns don't like Frumenty. They eat people.
Yes, I'm sure they wouldn't like to be ridden.
My point is, I'm not riding a Wyvern into battle, Soloman.
I don't care if you commissioned a saddle.
If it's not refundable then I'll pay you back.
Really? That much?
Yes, I will pay it. Just don't expect it all at once.
I'd have to slay a dragon and steal its treasure to do that-
No, Soloman, I'm not riding a dragon either.
Moving on: the Heroic Adventurer doll.
No, I don't.
Well, for starters, it comes with wings to fly into battle and a laser sword.
What is a laser, Soloman?
I don't actually have either of those.
I don't care if the focus groups thought it would be cool.
It's ridiculous, Soloman.
Yes, it is. I was not born with wings.
Fine, whatever you say. Anyway, I'm also concerned about the fact that it features “Fiery Halo...”
Right, but aside from that, I can't do that either-
Yes, Soloman, I'm sure I tried.
I'd know if I did. Trust me, Soloman.
Aside from the fact that I don't have anything like Fiery thing, do you really think it's a good idea to let children play with a doll that may spontaneously burst into flame?
I see...Well, we're going to hold on that redesign until I approve of it.
Moving on. The Heroic Adventurer Cave Action Playset. Yeah, I actually like this thing. It doesn't look anything like my inn room, but it's nice, I guess. What do you mean they changed the name to fit on the box?
Well, sure, I guess Heroic Adventurer Cave Action Playset is a little long, but couldn't they write smaller?
Fine, so what do they call it now? The Heroic Lair? Adventurer's Cave? What?
The A-Hole!?
Twelve help me, why are they calling it the A-Hole, Soloman?
I understand the A stands for Adventurer-
I see...
Well, we're NOT calling my secret headquarters the A-Hole, Soloman, and that's final.
Because I don't want people to hear the word “Adventurer” and immediately think “A-Hole.” It's not good for the image.
No, Soloman, it's not.
Look, Soloman, I've got to fire you.
I don't see where you've left me much choice.
You're trying to get me to ride a wyvern that would rather eat me, you've made my doll a ridiculous and potentially lethal toy for kids, and you're trying to sell an action playset which proudly proclaims “A Hero stores all of his most precious items inside his A-Hole.”
And worst of all, my name is stamped all over this, Soloman...I'm the one who's going to be maimed, killed, and arrested...Maybe in that order.
Soloman...
Soloman...
Stop crying, Soloman...
Look...I know you tried your best.
...Ok. Fine...
One more chance, Soloman...
Just don't do anything more until we can have a meeting.
No...For the last time, NO ballads about me! Don't even mention that idea again.
Ok. Bye. The conversation is long so I put it in a spoiler.

Playing FFxiv... I've run into Catti, Jarlaxle, and Kimmuriel so far in the last few weeks. I'm starting to fear the release of the dual wielding ninja class.

Last night, a grasshopper sat beside me sang to me under the pale moonlight.
I wish I was joking.
The thing was huge.

Last night I barely heard a single coqui Rain! Where are youuuu! Poor things are taking shelter in our flower pots now since they're the only place with any humidity.

Speaking of grasshoppers, I had one that decided it wanted to just chill out on my bedroom door for a day, actually I find a lot of things make themselves comfortable on my bedroom door, moths mostly... managed to pick it up and carry it outside, freaking out one of the other house residents in the process lol

That was his son from the superior alternate universe where he weds Dwahvel and they live happily ever after and raise a brood of half-halfling children.
