August was a declared study break, and it's almost over ... or skip the personal stuff and read the MCU )

ETA: MCU as promised
  • I really like the new Liz Phair album, Soberish. That and a new (to me) Katzenjammer album A Kiss Before You Go are on replay in my head/ house along with other pretties like Okumuki.
  • Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next books are delightful, I think I've had four so far and I'm trying to pace myself.
  • The Black Widow MCU Disney movie was pretty good, if almost ten years late.
  • new Netflix series Brand New Cherry Flavor was lots of fun and is very dark, violent and gross
    • "It's different if it's kittens."
  • new Disney What If MCU show first episode was really great, beautiful animation, great voice acting, and a neat story
  • so far the only thing watchable on Apple+ is For All Mankind which starts really interesting and then turned really dramatic. We haven't finished S1 because we honestly needed a break from all of the character drama that came from the plot, which is still quite interesting.
    • they also have a show about blind post-human something ... we jumped out before the 10 minute mark

Behold, a post, with words.

I just met some of the night crew. That was entertaining, to say the least. And now, having relieved them, I have the con. *whimper*

The new gig is going pretty well. There's so much for me to learn about local procedures and well, locations of things, but the people are cool and very helpful.

Elsemush, things have been quite pleasant. I have found some people to pleasantly pass time with, and that leads me to the theme for this time period: practice.

I'm getting in good practice at being social and nice, at being sweet and friendly to folk (one in particular, it seems), good (if rough) practice getting up every day (in the morning even) and coming in .. and at work, I'm stretching and sharpening my kung fu in many directions, already starting to gain experience on some tools I hadn't messed with to any depth before.

In related news, MySQL decided % did not include localhost last night. This led to some frustration, as well as me leaving an hour late, but the teamlead helped me out, and got the work completed (went on for another hour after I left, apparently, yikes.).

P.S.: My Vicki's order came in, but I haven't opened any of the little plastic bags yet.

P.P.S.: E: Package iceweasel has no installation candidate
