I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I just arrived at Abel Township.

Welcome to the world of Runner 5, aurelia!

I have grown very attached to some of the characters, although I admit that my inability to distinguish between many British accents means that I'm missing out on a lot of characterization. For instance, I had no idea that Jamie (who you won't meet for a while) was black. But the story is pretty fun, and the structure keeps me engaged.

I definitely recommend you download the Radio Abel files as well: Jack and Eugene are a hoot, and it's a great way to broaden the world-building.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Woo-hoo Runner 5!

Who's your favorite, -t? I admit to a growing fondness for Amelia, because she's so cheerful in her complete amorality.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

My new strategy for dealing with 7AM meetings seems to be insomnia the night before. This is fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A work thing turned into a shitshow at the end of the day yesterday, so of course I had to work through that at several points in the night. Good times.

Woo hoo -- I got my boss all riled up about the shitstorm, and she's mad at All The People (not me). She literally got up in the middle of our conversation to go see if she could talk to her boss about it all.

I uncovered a massive design flaw at the core of one of our highly visible functionalities!

I'm in a super-tedious planning meeting. Woo. Hoo.

Congrats on riling up your boss, Jesse!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm waiting to get bloodwork done for cholesterol, etc. And I really want to get an Egg McMuffin on the way home.

I'm overdue on this bloodwork by a couple-few years, and I'm secretly worried that my cholesterol won't be a number but will just say "Velveeta", and that I have a new previously undiscovered form of diabetes known as Super Mega Ultra Big Gulp Diabetes.

Mostly, though, I would shank a dude for coffee.

Meeting ran an hour long, and now I can't decide if I want food or sleep more.

Vibes for good cholesterol numbers, Steph.
