Painters, Mess, King of Dragon Pass and The Witcher
I’ll be quick again, because I don’t feel like writing anything but I guess I have to put something here this week and there’s a protest to go to tomorrow, so definitely won’t be writing then. That leaves Sunday for the week’s second post and the idea would be to add some more opinions regarding Bianchi’s crash and the reactions that followed, especially since the next race is then and I’ll be able to get more information right before writing, but turning thoughts into words that others may also understand and then typing them in a form that’s at least passably suitable for a blog post and not just a random comment is, as always, the problem.
On top of the usual mood and the usual reasons for it, parents also decided to have the hallway and the ceilings of the kitchen and bathrooms repainted, so two guys were here last week, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, starting in the morning and leaving in the afternoon. That meant barely getting a couple of hours of sleep before some loud noise woke me up with my heart racing, then needing to wait around and also hold it in until they left, and trying to catch up on some of the lost sleep at some point during the evening, when I actually managed to fall asleep again. Also meant a lot of dirt and dust, smell that made me nauseous whenever I left my room, a wardrobe and some suitcases in my room, a small tear in my floor as dad tried to push said wardrobe in, not showering for four days and struggling to eat something on a small folding table set among the mess in the kitchen Wednesday night and in my room Thursday night, after thoroughly washing everything used and still feeling like I was being poisoned.
Worse, cleaning took several more days and in fact there’s still white dust in plenty of places even now, which meant, among other things, that I didn’t brush my teeth for a week because, as illogical as it is, it felt dirtier to do that in the bathroom when it looked like it did than to ignore it completely. In addition, the work was obviously done quite poorly, but I knew that from the beginning, not that anybody’ll listen. Then again, even I didn’t expect to see that one small area will need to be painted again because the painters seem to have completely forgotten about it on Friday, when parents had them paint the hallway all over again because the color was very different from the one they wanted the first time around.
Otherwise, at least it seems that I could get myself to submit some more mobyranks on MobyGames, though not many and not every day. At the same time, got myself back to playing too, continuing the King of Dragon Pass game I had started quite some time ago but having things suddenly turn sour and eventually end the next day with my clan disbanding. Didn’t feel like starting over right away after that, so currently I seem to have returned to The Witcher, though that feeling of doing one thing and fucking up three is still there. How long will I stick to it or when will I try King of Dragon pass again, I can’t say, but I’d definitely like to finish both, or more exactly to finish The Witcher and win a long King of Dragon Pass game, by next spring, and if I drop them both again I doubt I’ll pick them back up in time to manage that.
