me, Ariana, dressed as Gog Agog from K6BD for halloween (specifically an alt outfit where she is dressed as a sort of talk show host in an argyle sweater and a green suit). i’m emulating a funny panel from WHEEL SMASHING LORD 3-77 in which Gog shoots another iteration of herself dead just outside the panel border. in jest, of course!!

still me, Ariana, still dressed as Gog Agog for halloween. this time i’m offering you a worm! this worm is your friend, i promise. i would know, i made it myself! this is emulating a panel from K6BD WHEEL SMASHING LORD 3-79.

it’s fine, some of us know better than to metagame with the info you’ve entrusted us

this october has been so jam-packed with events, group plans, and life updates that i feel personally entitled to the third payday that coincidentally lands on halloween. give me that untaxed paycheck, it won’t make me completely sane but it still might help!!!

it’s so so cool to have insurance through your really stable employer until all of a sudden your physician and your dentist both call you up saying “yeah hi sorry but your insurance refused to pay us for the stuff they said they’d cover” and then you just have to pay for it yourself. so cool.

learning magic the gathering is maybe gonna be my all-consuming winter hobby. i caught myself making several searches today about spell triggers in my precon commander deck and it pointed me to like, three really cool new-to-me cards. it could get so bad so fast y’all, idk what to do about it yet 😅

ended my shitty day by spilling water everywhere while tending the plants, then snapping the healthiest, thickest stem off the best of my three potted Tradescantia pallida. meanwhile the rest of the stems on the same plant are losing leaves for seemingly no reason. great 🫠

no coworkers, i do not feel refreshed nor am I ready to get back to it. i did not use my PTO for a traditional vacation and i’m not going to explain anything more than the possibility that i might be more tired and steeped in emotional turmoil than when i left last week. fuck.

i’m straight up afraid this is going to happen to me so i’ve simply kicked the “visit a mental health professional” can down the road for what’s now going on eight years

figured i’d update: this is the newest leaf that was produced from the previous leaf’s damaged petiole!! i was honestly shocked it was able to grow at all, especially in the midst of my war on thrips. the leaf with the bent/broken petiole had to go though. overall, not the worst outcome!!

a really janky monstera deliciosa leaf that’s only about two-thirds of a full leaf. it has unseemly creases on the leaf lamina and some brown along the midrib where the rest of the leaf’s foliage is missing due to prior damage.

to the lady who tried to push in front of me tonight bc “my friend is the drummer’s sister” i’m so sorry but i’ve loved this band since before either of those men were their drummer, nice try sister, get here earlier, we’ve been diehard for 12+ years

they fuckin mentioned us tonight, specifically “the couple from ATL who got married before our show in Asheville” babes that’s literally us, we brought us and 14 people to that show. that was our elopement plan except we ended up not really eloping. AND YET memories were formed for us and them. wow.

just saw the bright light social hour for the 3rd time this year, which i think is a record for us and for them. talked to Jackie extensively after their set about kglw among other things. i love this band so fucking much, pls catch them wherever they end up, they deserve crowds and everything else
