Why does Microsoft have to make it like you're trying to get into the goddamn CIA in order to play a fucking game? They have like 14 levels of security for your kid to log into gotdamn Minecraft! It's ridiculous! We're not trying to burn down their files by logging into play a damn game! I hate Microsoft and I wish it would burn down.

The cat distribution system thinks I need a fifth cat. We have this black kitty hanging around who's clearly a stray. He's very fluffy and the only white on him his on his toes, which means you think I'd call him Twinkle Toes or something, but I can't do it, he's too unique for that. He wanders around the yard singing at us and asking for food, he's been living in our backyard and hanging out with our cats already for months, so... I started feeding him. I couldn't stand watching the poor thing suffer. Now he'll come in the cat door and meow at me and then sneak back outside again until I dump some food outside for him. Because he wanders around singing all the time, calling in windows and charming ppl, I call him Troubadour. Will try to get pictures soon. So I guess I have acquired a "Not My Cat".

I haven't been on here in days. There's some people I need to interact with about GO3 and how I felt about it... but I'm just not able to process. Well I am processing a bit finally, but *very* slowly. I'll probably post about it in some length here eventually, but I feel like my brain just sort of got stuck in a spot and I don't know how to proceed or which way to go. It was not what I expected and it was certainly provocative and interesting, but my emotions are all over the place. I might have to add another chapter to the story I wrote to help myself survive the Final Fifteen.

I have the self-discipline not to start watching GO3. I have the self-discipline to go to bed like a grown-up, and then get up and watch it "tomorrow" after I get the kids to school. This is my mantra.

I don't know if anybody shares this goal, but it would be really cool to listen to Unreal Unearth again without wanting to die. That's one of my hopes for this finale; that I can listen to that album again without crying myself to sleep.
