Stress-Induced Itching?
May. 16th, 2026 11:45 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
anonymoose_au11:17pm: Apparently that's a thing and I only seem to get itchy when I'm feeling stressed so maybe that's what's going on? I sure hope so...
What would I be stressed about though? Well, I'm still trying to figure out if I should buy a second hand Nintendo Switch Lite so I can play Tomodachi Life, thing is though...there is a way to play it, but in a way that makes me feel kind of guilty (i.e I ain't paying for it). On the other hand as previously stated I shouldn't be spending money willy-nilly. Also, do I really want a portable game console that I might take to work? It could be a disaster!
Anyway, it's late...so I better make this quick because Archery is on tomorrow - and the President of the Club really hates it when you're late. I would have made it on time today except I couldn't find my Pusheen thermos which I usually put cold water in for hydration while playing. I can't figure out where I could have put it, I did of course clean up a whole bunch of stuff when the furniture repair guy came by. I can't think where I could have put it though and I checked the usual spots. :O( A mystery indeed!
Right, I got sidetracked - what else is new - so I gotta wrap this up here and get to bed.
Although, I think it's raining out there, I hope it stops before morning because doing archery in the rain is no fun.
Ta-ta!

Sore Knee...
May. 15th, 2026 11:50 pmanonymoose_au11:37pm: Yeah, I have no idea why, I did do two desk shifts today, but I think I'm doing better with the standing up these days, maybe I just stood oddly.
I also though I had more to write about, but be darned if I can remember what I was going say, hmmm, how weird. I also feel like I've forgotten something important, how annoying!
Oh wait, I just remembered, it's about Ghosts, the website I've been using to watch the episodes doesn't seem to be working any more and thus I've fallen behind :O( I'm pretty sure the season finale eps are coming up soon and if I can't figure out an alternative I'll miss out on all the fun. Booo.
The other thing I just remembered is that Mum sent me a message about taking a half day next Tuesday so I can go to the parental abode to let the washing machine repairman in. But that's quite short notice and work has been a bit funny about taking time off without a lot of notice, which is fair enough I guess. Also I'll be going to the parental abode the next night so I can pick up the Lite n Easy delivery the next day. Which gives me an idea, maybe I can move the time to the Thursday since I might be coming in late anyway depending on when the LnE delivery shows up. Although knowing repair people they might no show up until the last second, which would be irritating.
Speaking of irritating, I hope it's not bug related...which reminds me of yet another thing, I forgot to call up the Pest Control people today because I forgot to take note of their phone number...
Man, my memory is shot today!
Anyway, there's archery tomorrow so I shall be off now.
Ta-ta!

Dr Gluon is a Bad Influence...
May. 14th, 2026 11:44 pmanonymoose_au11:30pm: Haha no, not really...but he's been playing the latest Switch game on his stream Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and it looks so fun! I keep being tempted to buy a second hand Switch so I can buy the game. This is a bad idea for many reasons, firstly, I don't need another game to get addicted to. Secondly, even a second hand Switch is pretty expensive, not to mention the game also costs a bit (about $75!) and I'm trying to pay off my mortgage!
In other news, the damn bug problem in my house continues unabated. Which truly sucks, because I cleaned up my kitchen, sprayed cockroach killing spray in the hole I think they're coming from (it's a hole that's supposed to be there, cables go through it) and even put out some of the Cockroach Killer Spray - they seemed to decrease in number a few days back, but now the horrible things are back. I guess I should call the pest control people who sprayed the apartment many years ago, whatever stuff they used really worked. Although it was also part of treating the whole building, so it might not be that effective this time.
In other news, not much to report, speaking of reports though I did start writing up the one I need to do for work. It's about whether we should keep being a part of this program from our library supplier. I've been keeping some stats on it, so we'll have to see what the data says.
Speaking of work, I do have to work two shifts tomorrow so I better get my butt to bed!
Ta-ta!

What Was I Going To Say?
May. 13th, 2026 11:21 pmanonymoose_au11:09pm: I have no idea! I guess it wasn't super important in that case...although I once again had to move stuff off my gaming laptop so I could download the new update for The Sims 4. Which is annoying, but what can you do? I don't really think I should get a new laptop when this one still works quite well (when it's not running out of space!) and because it's a gaming laptop it has an excellent graphics card, I imagine it'd be expensive to get a new laptop with an equivalent card. Especially since computer chips are getting really expensive these days - or at least that's what I've heard.
Anyway, I'm trying to pay off a mortgage so I shouldn't be making over the top purchases :OP
Not much else to report aside from that, plus it's getting late I'm supposed to fixing my sleep schedule after all! So on that note, I shall be off.
Ta-ta!
PS. I've just remembered...it's my little brother's birthday! We did have the celebration a few weeks ago before my parents left on their trip, but I was going to send him a birthday message today and now it's kind of late...Still, maybe I should and hope his phone is on silent and doesn't wake him up!

Couch Fixed! Sleep Schedule...Not So Much...
May. 12th, 2026 10:50 pmanonymoose_au10:34pm: Yes! The Couch Repair man came and I was able to leave work and come and meet him here, where he reattached the couch springs, so I am now sitting in my proper spot as I type this out.
As mentioned I was curious as to how he'd get to the springs given that the zipper only opens a little bit, but he had an industrial-sized staple remover (the fabric that covers the bottom of the couch is kept in place by these heavy duty staples) and took them out to pull back the fabric to get in there. As it happens, the couch springs are kept in place by plastic things, which was a surprise to me! He replaced the two broken ones with metal ones so they should be secure, I just have to make sure I sit on my couch carefully rather than flop down, LOL.
Once he did that he stapled the fabric cover back into place and it was fixed, huzzah! :OD
In less pleasant news, later in the afternoon once I went back to work and just before I headed to the gym I started getting a headache and alas by the time I got home it was really quite bad. I took some ibprofen for it but it seemed to take a while to kick in - although the headache's gone away now thankfully, but I'm super sleepy now. I'm certainly glad this didn't happen last week otherwise trivia would have been a disaster!
Now though I'm out, I need those zzzs!
Ta-ta!

The Words Procrastinators Dread to Hear...
May. 11th, 2026 11:45 pmanonymoose_au11:31pm: "Are you available tomorrow? We can do (thing)".
That's the message I got from the couch repair guy after work tonight, and first of all, it's really short notice but I think I'll be able to get the time off to come back home and let him in.
Second and more importantly...I have not tidied my apartment in like...weeks and the place is a complete disaster zone - well actually it's looking better now (at least to me, Mum probably wouldn't agree) because I've spent the night tidying it. However, there's still messy areas that I'm not sure I'll have enough time to fix up...plus there's the bug issue. There's a lot less of them now, but they still pop up and I'd rather the couch repair man not see them, but there's not much I can do about it.
Then again, I have no one to blame but myself for letting the place get into the state it's in. Perhaps this will be the wake up call I need to leave a tidier lifestyle? I kind of hope so!
I do hope the guy comes, it isn't a firm confirmation, he says he'll contact me tomorrow, which you know is rather annoying, I have no idea if his clients are usually people who don't work or able to leave said place of work with next to no notice, but who knows?
Anyway, I better dash, I was hoping to get more zzzs tonight but I might have to spend a bit more time folding my clean clothes so I can get into my bed, LOL.
Remember people, it's good to be tidy...
Ta-ta.

Meisterinnen!
May. 11th, 2026 10:16 amfeuervogelSince I got into roller derby, I've had less time and mental capacity to really follow footy anymore. (Well, also I've been living the freelancer lifestyle, which leaves less free time because a bitch has to work to get paid.) But Hertha opened a women's division in the last year or so, and they've been playing great in the Regionalliga Nordost. One curious side effect of roller derby is that I'm far less interested in men's sports than I used to be, so when I heard that they were actually good, I checked the game schedule to see if there were any games I could make it to ... and all the home games were roller derby weekends. Except May 9, so I put that on my mental calendar to check back in with other people from the one Hertha fan chat I'm in.
Time rolled on, and the Hertha Frauen only needed to get 1 point to win the Regionalliga in their game on May 9. Which had been scheduled for afternoon, then rescheduled until Sunday morning, but then! It was rescheduled to be at the Olympiastadion after the men's game -- and for free! They wanted to give the team a big cheering section while they got the title. So I got my free ticket and coordinated with one of the fan chat folks, and we met up there.
10 years ago, I was really into football, following the games and even writing for a soccer blog on occasion. Then a bunch of shit happened (including roller derby) and I mostly just followed the scores on kicker and the bitching on the fan chat (because the Hertha men have been really shit for a while now). When I came to Berlin in 2014 with Ben's family, we visited the Olympiastadion as tourists, and I sat in the Ostkurve and had a little moment of fandom.
Yesterday, after some shenanigans, I got into the Ostkurve. Fam, it was magical. I had emotions. We walked down into the cheering section, directly opposite the Marathon Gate, and I felt some of that same joy I used to have about soccer. Yeah, ok, winning 5:0 definitely helped, but the sheer energy of people in blue and white, shouting and cheering ... I'd honestly started to wonder if that piece of my soul was dead, the one where the fannish spark was kept.
I had to stop singing "Nur nach Hause" because I was too choked up to make words come out.
I hope I can go to more games next season. I need to learn the verse lyrics first, though.

(no subject)
May. 10th, 2026 10:29 pmyuuago+ Went out for breakfast with the family this morning. That was all right.
+ Finally set up my new computer. Haven't transferred over my documents and whatnot yet, but at least the important stuff is done. It's smaller than my previous laptop and lacks some of the features, but I guess I can work with this. I had to go into the terminal while setting it up in order to force it to create a local account, but hey, I did it! :V Also I found my original disc for Paint Shop Pro 7, and it seems to have installed okay.
+ I'm still going to try to install a new hard drive on the old computer. And maybe also see if I can upgrade the RAM; not sure if it's soldered in or not. I'm going to have to do some research into how exactly to do it; I mean, you can't just buy a thing and plunk it in there. Will have to poke around later.
+ I've scheduled this upcoming Friday off. It'll be nice to have a four-day weekend, I think. (Already planning all the things that I want to do...)

Archery Weirdness
May. 10th, 2026 11:43 pmanonymoose_au11:31pm: Leaving this entry a bit late, but what else is new? But, in regards to my subject heading, there was indeed weirdness today at archery. Yesterday I did really well at 40 metres with a better score than I got at 30 metres. This being the case I signed up for the 40m today - and I did terribly! I mean I got a PB, but the first time I did it I'm pretty sure I didn't have my new limbs and bowstring, so the score I needed to beat wasn't anything huge.
Still, I have no idea why I suddenly had such a hard time! The only thing I can think of is the shoot was something called a "Ranking Round" and there were a lot more people than usual so there wasn't as much room between me and the next archer. Also, I think I usually stand a lot further to the right of the target than I did today, so my aim was off. But still very strange.
In other news, I spoke to Mum this evening, she and Dad are currently in France :D and speaking of strange, it's raining over there and according to Mum it's the first rain they've had in 10 days. Which considering they went to England sounds most unusual! The weather really is whack these days...In more exciting news, tomorrow (French time) they're off to Malta! I've asked Mum to video call me when she's out and about there so
I can see what it looks like.
And I just realised, I totally forgot to wish her Happy Mother's Day - whoops...I should send her a message before I turn in. Which I should probably do now because I didn't get nearly enough zzzzs yesterday and I don't want to end up with a huge sleep debt. Even though the Giro d'Italia is on and do enjoy a bit of bike riding action.
For now though, ta-ta!

The PBs Continue!
May. 9th, 2026 11:56 pmanonymoose_au11:45pm: Yes, indeed! The new limbs are paying off, in fact I did better shooting at 40m than 30, which is weird...
However, my bow is acting weird, my top limb goes into the bow alright, but I have huge trouble removing it. One of the long-term people took a look and mentioned that the little...thing (I'm not actually sure what it's called) the bolt on the back of the limb slides into is crooked. It's not meant to be, so it's kind of getting caught in there. An odd state of affairs. Hopefully, the guy who looks after the equipment will be in tomorrow and be able to help me out.
Apart from that excitement not much to report - I did go down to the nearby Woolworths to recycle my soft plastics, and then headed to Aldi because this week's special is suitcase and travel. I was hoping to get a new suitcase, but alas they were too big. I did get some more cheese though!
Also I went to church, the kid who's been playing the piano with Mum and Dad was there, it's the first time he's played by himself and unfortunately, it was a bit rough. I hope he's not to bummed out...
Anyway, I stayed up waaaay to late last night, so I have to wrap it up here.
Ta-ta!

Happy Birthday, David Attenborough!
May. 8th, 2026 11:38 pmanonymoose_au11:16pm: Indeed! The great man is 100 years old today! :OD Let's hear it for the man with the dulcet tones and conservationist extraordanaire.
By co-incidence it's animal print Friday (unofficially) which was a fun coincidence :O)
Anywho, I'm planning on doing Archery tomorrow, so I better not dilly-dallying too much.
Right now I'm trying to figure out how to create a box for Sims to wear on their head - why do I want to do this, you may ask, well mostly so I can make my own little BoxFort - which is one of Dr Gluon's Tomodachi Life characters who is the personification of a box fort (whenever Doc plays a game where things come in boxes rather than throwing them out he proceeds to make a box fort of them). He's adorable and I think it'd be pretty funny to have him in game. Only problem, I don't know to actually make a mesh that has a hole in it so you can se his face. I found some bag head swatches with lots of different emotions on them, but it's not quite the same. But I may have to roll with it.
Fortunately, the kind creators of Sims 4 CC actually have a box costume so I don't have to worry about making that at least - the things people create, it's amazing, LOL.
I better be going now - before I do here's...
The Friday Five
8/5/26
These questions were written by pebbleinalake on Dreamwidth.
1. What do you consider your current main fandom? (This can include hobbies and collecting. Anything you feel fannish about!) I'd say...The Sims 4 and the TV show Ghosts.
2. What was your first fandom? It was actually Inspector Gadget, my favourite cartoon! Dad even recorded a few episodes on VHS for me and I watched them endlessly.
3. Do you have any favorite headcanons or fan theories? Ooo lots! But I don't really have the time here to elaborate on them LOL. Most of them have probably been jossed, but what are you gonna do?
4. Have you ever created fanworks? Oh for sure! Mostly fan fic for Back to the Future, although I did write a fic for Ghosts too - although it did get totally jossed, boo-urns.
5. Are you still active in any old fandoms? I'm still a big BTTF fan, although sadly there's no Message Boards anymore - I do go to the Reddit page and sometimes there's interesting stuff there.
And now, I'm off!
Ta-ta!

I found some bag head swatches with lots of different emotions on them, but it's not quite the same. But I may have to roll with it.
Fortunately, the kind creators of Sims 4 CC actually have a box costume so I don't have to worry about making that at least - the things people create, it's amazing, LOL.
I better be going now - before I do here's...
The Friday Five
8/5/26
These questions were written by pebbleinalake on Dreamwidth.
1. What do you consider your current main fandom? (This can include hobbies and collecting. Anything you feel fannish about!) I'd say...The Sims 4 and the TV show Ghosts.
2. What was your first fandom? It was actually Inspector Gadget, my favourite cartoon! Dad even recorded a few episodes on VHS for me and I watched them endlessly.
3. Do you have any favorite headcanons or fan theories? Ooo lots! But I don't really have the time here to elaborate on them LOL. Most of them have probably been jossed, but what are you gonna do?
4. Have you ever created fanworks? Oh for sure! Mostly fan fic for Back to the Future, although I did write a fic for Ghosts too - although it did get totally jossed, boo-urns.
5. Are you still active in any old fandoms? I'm still a big BTTF fan, although sadly there's no Message Boards anymore - I do go to the Reddit page and sometimes there's interesting stuff there.
And now, I'm off!
Ta-ta!

Unexpected Closing Shift
May. 7th, 2026 11:43 pmanonymoose_au11:28pm: Yes! As it happened the Lite'n'Easy arrived at my parents place before I did this morning, which unfortunately meant that the box that the food was in a few weeks back wasn't picked up because I hadn't put it out. They should be able to take them next time, though.
As a result of this, I headed into work on time only to discover that I'd been put on the closing shift since on of the branch staff had called in sick - and I wasn't expected in until 10. The boss did say that he could do the shift instead, but after I flipped a coin I decided that I'd stay back (after all, while we were short on staff the boss was taking heaps of closing shifts) which means I get to start later tomorrow. Fortunately, the Thursday delivery of items wasn't nearly as big as Tuesday's one so with any luck I won't feel like I'm run off my feet.
Having said that, I should turn in ASAP, I didn't get nearly enough zzzzs last night (probably because it's that time o' the month) and even if I am getting a later start I need to catch up on those.
The closing shift went fine, we managed to get everyone out of the library on time - sometimes patrons dilly-dally - and while I did briefly look at some clothes at T.K Maxx (there was a nice white cardigan, but unfortunately, it was slightly too small for me) I didn't have to wait for the bus because the driver let me on even though they'd just pulled away from the bus stop.
The state of my apartment though almost prevented me from getting the pills I'm supposed to take during the first four days of my period - I ran out last time, but went to my doctor and got a new script. Which I thought I'd put safely on my bedside table only to find it not there! Fortunately I managed to track it down and got to the Pharmacy before it closed.
Anwyho, I better be off!
Ta-ta!
