Current obsessions: Murderbot, The Summer Hikaru Died, Heated Rivalry
Watching the USA vs. Germany match & the US scored literally 8 seconds before 1st period ended. What. 🥲 #WinterOlympics

My search history be like:
- power break hockey
- power play hockey
- icing definition hockey
- face-off rules hockey

Time for the cross-country relay! The quality of my stream switched to "filmed by a potato" but I'm excited. Also taking some idle fanfic notes while watching. :D #WinterOlympics

Die Kommentatoren wieder 😂

"Wir haben hier eine Tour de France Atmosphäre beim Biathlon!"

"Fehlen nur noch die oberkörperfreien mitlaufenden Fans!"

Ich dachte, Hollanov wären gar nicht dabei...

Hockey is so violent lmao. Germany vs Denmark is underway!
- I learned what a backhand is
- apparently a face-off is called "bully" in German (""German"" 🙄) which is very funny to me
- the first goal happened after only 23 seconds???
- I still have very little idea what's going on xD.

Watching hockey at the Winter Olympics has so far been like:

Player: *wipes out horribly, full faceplant, helmet audibly cracking against the ice*

Me: Ouch, that was nauseating, I hope he's okay. Where are the doctors?

Player: *gets back up and keeps skating like nothing happened.*

... 😳

So, Iron Lung was FANTASTIC. 10/10. And the soundtrack made it even better. The only reason I'm salty about the ticket price is that I'm dirt poor. Still VERY happy to support Mark. <3 <3

Not to vague-skeet (?), but: Fuck you, trauma. Today I win 😊

I have real trouble with "caminhão". The fact that it means 'truck' just will not enter my brain. 😂 🇧🇷

This is such a small thing, but I noticed that (maybe?) I feel much less drained at the end of a day when I've had a little Headphone Time. Doesn't even have to be very long, an hour or so is enough. I'll keep testing that theory. :D

Ich: Scheiße, ich hab die Biathlon-Staffel der Männer verpasst.

Fo im Nebenraum, hat's nicht ganz gehört: Du hast die schlafenden Männer vergessen?

@dragonflylady77.bsky.social Hiii! Happy to meet you! :D I can feel my RWRB obsession re-activating just from looking at your profile haha. <3

German commenter is fanboying hard over Frida Karlsson, who just won gold for Sweden in cross-country skiing (AND Ebba Andersson, also from Sweden, got silver). Heja Sverige! 🇸🇪 #WinterOlympics

My toxic trait is that while yes, Alexei is an asshole, I am haunted by his 0.5 second despairing, near-tearful look after the funeral fight, and I'm sure he wasn't always like this, sooo now I wanna write fic that redeems him somehow, at least a little. 🥺

The Canadian figure skating duo had a Yuri On Ice plushie while waiting for their score! 😍 #WinterOlympics

... I finished an HR ficlet, but it wasn't the fic I was trying to finish. Hmm.

*Game Grumps voice* 'I fired again. I hit something, but it wasn't what I was going for, so I guess I missed.'

I'm feeling better, but still too under the weather to leave the house, so I'm running virtual errands today & a load of laundry might or might not happen later!

When I take my emergency meds, I tend to have super vivid dreams. I had several this time, but I only remember one: I was trying to write down a story idea, but all I had was a fork & sliced cheese. So I engraved it into the cheese with the tines of the fork. Very unwieldy note-taking method, 2/10.

@thistlearts.bsky.social Hiii, I am very seriously studying Russian swearing & just came across "Хуй там плавал" and I'm lol'ing, what a great expression!! 😂 It reminds me of Swedish "skita i det blåa skåpet" (to shit in the blue cupboard) which means 'to fuck something up, to mess up'. Languages😍🥰

It has come to my attention that there are only 11 (eleven!) fics in the Hollanov 'language kink' tag on AO3?!?!

Excuse me, what.

LRP: I'm so out of it from period pain that it took me a while to realize that there are no eyes that are marching, they're looking towards March. The month March. /o\
