part 367 bears and wolves oh my

YOU DID IT, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. Well, it's been a year. I hope it was a good one for you--and that 2018 is even better! And maybe we'll finally get that fansub of even one of the musicals... just maybe.

Enjoy part 367!

i'm watching instant ramen reviews. this after watching a ton of other food stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77qm9aD7ZuY

i'm rage-exercising because why the hell am i constipated I EAT SO MANY GREENS, AND YOGURT, AND DRINK MORE THAN 8 CUPS A DAY, AND WORK OUT DAILY WHAT IS THIS

literally have googled constipation yoga moves

gdi body, what more could you want

if this keeps up i'm buying a whole bag of carrots soon as the stores open and eating them all day. i will be a carrotarian.

drink some extra strong coffee or ginger juice

always works for me

the carrots did the trick, but thanks anon!

bought some herbs

made some jackfruit broccoli tacos

Formatting fics so I can shove them onto an ereader in preparation for my trip...

I could be packing, but. Nah.

(Also, wishing there were more Den/Nor fics out there that incorporate haircurl play. Or even just hair play in general. It's nice and I don't see enough of it.)

Working. Yelling at myself for starting late again.

Drinking water.

Browsing for new movies coming out because procrastinating!

Catching up on The Devil Is A Part-Timer

writing articles about these new luxury residential buildings that make me think of dystopian movies and books (though maybe that's just my inexperience with luxury residences of this kind)

like

the building will have its own movie theater, grocery store, a floor of retail spaces, multiple pools, an indoor playground with fake sunlight, fitness center, dog park, private restaurants, rooftop resort with a pool and gardens and another private restaurant, etc etc

like

holy fuckkkkkkkkk

w

what

holy SHIT

how is there room for all that??

you would literally never have to leave

they're huuuuuuuge buildings. one of them is 50+ stories, another is only 11 stories but it's a multi-building complex.

I think that's the idea for some of them, that you are basically living in a privileged bubble where you have access to all these things and never have to bother with non-exclusive activities if you don't want to.

One of my old coworkers lived in a place like that. They were on a waterfront property with three huge buildings, grocery stores on the ground floor and this large courtyard area with a playground and everything. Probably even more stuff that I didn't get to see when I visited her cause it was in the middle of Manhattan so you know it's posh.

It's like a IRL High Rise

that's exactly what I was thinking when I was writing

'so... high rise? we're in high rise??'

Dystopian or utopian, equalizing or segregating, depends a lot on perspective.

I've seen similar plans for proposed green towns/neighborhoods where the idea is to save fuel and encourage exercise by making everything you need within walking distance. The buildings/businesses would also share power systems and pumps for greater energy efficiency.

But, on the other hand, there are already places like this where it's more about exclusivity and security. And, I dunno, on the one hand that seems ostentatiously classist; on the other hand, is it that much different from me choosing a cozy suburb distant from the city where I work? I could choose to live in an inner city neighborhood. But I don't, because it's fucking scary and I'm going to live in the safest and nicest place within my budget.

oh for sure I think there are parallels to good/cozy/etc suburbs and neighborhoods. People want security and if you're ultra-wealthy, it transcends "find a quiet suburb" to something different. Though some of these go beyond "live in a secure place with people of similar incomes and access to the luxuries I expect in life" and take it to cinematic levels of absurdity.

I mean truthfully if I was ultra wealthy I would probably be totally into the concept. Maybe not the stilts one, but a few of the others. Sometimes I even daydream about moving to the dystopian Disney neighborhood...

being annoyed that other people can't just... hide their annoyance when it comes to interacting with little kids when they're tired/stressed. Sometimes the most flippant comment or attitude from an annoyed adult can stay with a kid for years (or forever). Just step awaaaaaaaaaay.

making a game plan for content that needs to be downloaded before the EU bill inevitably passes in January

What EU bill?

It got held off a few months ago but came back

Holy shiiiiiiiit what are these morons smoking

You have my condolences, this is ridiculous. Hopefully it will not be stringently enforced?

trying to force myself to answer a mad client

well I responded in what I think was a measured tone. so now they will inevitably be MAD.

Of course. Mad clients will be mad no matter what you do. Unless you are able to provide substantial monetary compensation for their indignation.
