The Cosmic Doughnut

* in our last thrilliing instalment, I was ill(er than usual). I continued to be ill in July! but I did manage to have a few nice days out in the sun. a picnic, a pud lunch, and a visit to Tillgate park to see the birds and other animals. there was a very chatty lorie who suprised me by creaking out "hellllo" from behind a clumo of bamboo, and a bull who constantly licked his two cows in an affectionate but sticky way. the harvest mice were as tiny as I remembered them and were making a new nest. I fed a nice goat and patted her head.

* a new medicine was prescribed to me that theorectically could make a big difference. it's a a mega-probiotic of the sort given to factory farm animals that might repopulate my small intestine.

* ...except that no one thought of the consequences of downing a metric tonne of bacteria while having the immune system of a tiny hysterical baby.

* so I spent most of July lying in bed naked covered in huge blisters and a rash and sores all over my gums and lips and with a fever. I ate a lot of ice.

* I also played a lot of Tomodachi Life! I didn't order it becuase of the whole "no homodachi" business but Nasus got a copy and lent it to me. it provided about the right level of entertainment to a person strung out on strong anithistamines. Rax in the game wears a hamster suit and is married to Aurora Walrus. the island currently has me, Nasus, Owl, all four Walruses (Mitik, Pakak, Kula, and Aurora), Mario Luigi and Peach, and Blathers and Celeste the owls from animal crossing. I'm trying to make Nook but he's a bit tricky to humanise.

* if anyone wants a free Tomodachi Life trial code we have three! I assume the version you would get would be the uk one? I don't know how it works.

* it seems like all I do on this journal is talk about how ill I've been but to be fair I don't really have much else going on in my life.

so apparently I'm doing these in two month bundles? okay.

* MARIO AND LUIGI DREAM TEAM IS ACES. such a fun game, luigi at maximum cuteness level, very hoo. the yoshis all talk about food constantly, one of them wants to eat the badges in the badge shop, yoshi stop. boss brickle is creepy. there are hoos everywhere who talk in a very hoo manner. peachy has adoring fans and has recovered from her kidnapping (though she might well get kidnapped again you know how it is). the combat is fun and the bposs battles are nicely challenging, there are many collectables in the form of delicious BEANS, did I mention LUIGI yet. LUIGI! he makes the sweetest faces on the lower screen and his snoring is adorable. mario is his bbbff. all is right in the world.

* only one person signed up for my art exchange. which sucks because I was super excited for it. I sent a lot of asks on tumblr to people with fancharacters asking if they'd join or at least promote it but I only got two replies. did they get the asks and ignore them? was it rude? or did they just get eaten by tumblr. I wish I knew.

* Oto got me lots of pokemon cards and when I feel better I'm going to open some packs.

* I'm playing Extrasolar which is good at giving me a reason to get up in the mornings. haha that sounds grimmer than I meant it to. but. accurate.

* my life is not very exciting but my dreams are nice

A few browser-based games, some stories, comics, a rover and a let's play!

Lines of Black and White
And escape-the-room game with a tweeeest. The gameplay is a little too easy but it's a cute concept that could be really fun in a larger game.

Reprisal
Like Populous, but free! You try to lead tiny, stupid people to conquer and build by manipulating the environment and raining fire upon your enemies. I suck at it.

Gunnerkrigg Court
I hope you're already reading this! A comic about a girl who goes to live at a magical boarding school. Really slow burner but consistently good. The art improves!

Vattu
A comic about a girl who goes to live in an oppressive regime. Less dreamy and more grounded than Rice Boy, which may or may not please your surrealism salivary glands.

Cucumber Quest!
A delicious comic about a boy called Cucumber who goes on a quest. Very Nintendo-esque, very tasty-looking art.

Glitch
A MMO game with a cute look and a bizarre sense of humour (you nibble pigs to acquire meat, they like this). Lots of repetitive tasks to do to earn badges and dull sorrows.

Curiosity's twitter
He's still up there, beetling about and drilling rocks. I hear that one of the rocks has a twitter now too, but I think that might be going a bit to far or me.

Infinity Plus Fiction Archive
Sci-Fi stories and excerpts, ranging fro good to terrible as usual.

Let's Play Deadly Premonition
This game won an award for "Best Worst Game" or possibly "Worst Best Game". It is An Experience. There's a more ~official~ SA Let's Play but this one is done by a lady (plus point in my book) and balances humour nicely with shutting up, something not many LPers can do.

What is up, good people of the internet. Nothing here that is for sure, I have been playing video games and reading Homestuck. If Dad doesn't manage to return safe and sound by the end I'm probably going to cry for real. He's my favourite character, which is about half due to his loving personality and half due to his pipe smoking.

Also: I made a thing for the Sims 2, it's a bunch of pretty lacy underwear for the AM body. The textures are from Bruno@MTS, edited to make them fit better.



Fire Cat

A set of children's wall drawings, kindly put together for me by kunoichikatie

( You can see all the recolours under the cut )

I didn't log the hideous mess of a quest this morning, but I felt it needed to be recorded for posterity. SO HERE IS AN ABBREVIATED VERSION. It's horribly offensive to all parties, be warned. WE ARE NOT OUR CHARACTERS please no-one send me dead skunks kay.

( Don't call us, we'll call you... )

What does your drawing say about YOU?

So I make radical moves, while remaining cautious. Neat. And also I have some kind of ambition problem. God, these things are so ridiculous. I did I handwriting thing once that gave me five COMPLETELY opposing statement. I pointed this out the the woman running it and she said it showed I had many conflicting personalities XD PERHAPS IM OTHERKIN GUYZ.

God the slylandro probes are beating me so hard. Oto is doing better than me. OTO. This is not at all awesome.
