WTF

Well, it’s been 2,150 posts since this one, here, so I thought I’d say “hi” and start can Ching up, but I have no time, so instead, while huddling sick and under covers, I should mention that I dreamed of Freehold last night!

It’s true: in the dream, you were getting married to someone named “Midna” (probably inspired by all the Twilight Princess I’ve played, lately; who may or may not be the person from said game; alt possibility: she was your IRL wife whose unknown name was supplied as “Midna” by my mind for reasons I can’t guess at) and I and Billy Dee Williams (who may or may not have also been Celestial Healer? Anyway, it was definitely Billy Dee, if no one else) were your wedding photographers.

Your name, in-dream, was also Freehold.

Anyway, there was a bunch of story before that, but I’ll come back to that later to get to the part with you, first. Midna has taken sick at your party so could have her “glamour shots” so we decided to do your shoot now so you wouldn’t get too sick to do them before your upcoming wedding; you agree and temporarily leave the wedding party (apparently held the week before? Look, I don’t know - dream logic) and get the shoot done. It was stressful, but you were a pro and Billy Dee and I agreed you were basically the best to work with. And then I switched back to the other narrative.

To clarify, there were two narratives: the modern one where I was a photographer, and a “ancient” one that took place in definitely “not China.” (There were signs and everything; yes, I know sounds stupid in awake world but it made perfect sense in dream.)

The other narrative was related to the modern one by echoes I don’t quite get now that I’m awake except for this: the wedding echoes the panic and/stress the bad guys felt just before the bad guys did their own ritual thing. It must be stressed that neither I, nor Freehold, nor anyone else in the modern era dream were bad (to the best of my knowledge). While there were parts of the narrative I’ve forgotten that happened before the wedding party photo shoot, I’m pretty sure none of us were villains in it.

Anyway.

So this narrative was mostly told in a verbal style with “animated still drawings (if you’ve ever seen Kurgestaadz or Crash Course Philosophy, you’ve seen the animation style; but this was a little stiffer than those) in the background, and seemed to be “stereotypically traditional Native American folk lore” in conceit and genre. Except the hero was more like Maui (the Polynesian one more than the Disney one) than any NA hero I’ve heard about (admission: my NA lore is lacking), but his abilities were replicable with low-level D&D magic.

Anyhoo, he was a demigod, but grandson of a god and son of two “normal” humans (his mother was child of the god, but not a demigod herself for some reason. It struck me as weird at the time, too.) He was a shapeshifter (sort of?) and, as noted, all of his abilities were basically first level D&D spells.

The story structure was repeated often; there were a few variances, but most ecerybstory went like this: Trickster wants <X>, and decides to drag Hapless Mortal Best Friend along for the ride (as Trickster meant want to go alone). HMBF protests, but is won over by Trickster’s charisma and insistence; they go do a thing related to <X> goal, something bad happens to the people, Trickster manages to squirrel his way out of consequences (oh, and also get HMBF off the hook while he’s there, or whatever) and the people forgive him, annoyed, but stuck with and quickly adapting to whatever the new thing in life is.

Trickster is tolerated and kept around because he seems to be a kind of talisman against an evil demigod that only upon waking do I realize is an armored battle emu. He was considered a devious and evil shapeshifter.

Anyway, Trickster one day wants to go see a “river hawk” (I do not know why this is special). He recruits HMBF, who attempts to argue him out of it, but Trickster manages sway him, “so long as the people approve.” HMBF was being pretty clever: after all, everyone knows the Trickster is a liar and Trickster - there is no way they’d let him go, especially as so many people were sick and they needed his watchful abilities. But Trickster declares that one of the sick old Wise Women indeed has a vision that he must go on this quest to see this river hawk. People are entirely uninterested until said old wise woman half wakes in a fever state, muttered something about “<something>... must... see... river... hawk” and collapses. People shrug and take this as the Trickster speaking truth this time (go figure). Trickster and HMBF (who is chagrined but only half-fooled) go off to see the hawk, as many more get sick. Later, the old woman really does wake with a start, but people reassure her that her vision was being followed and Trickster was going to see the river hawk. This was, of course, not her vision, and the infant she’d her vision had indicated was snatched away by the evil battle emu god (who was never really named or described in-dream; just seen).

Insert the wedding photo shoot here, done in “life” appearance (movie techbiquwes are used, though).

Back to the narrative. Now, there were some things that are unclear because I’ve forgotten them, but here is the gist:
- slightly more anime+western animation style
- Evil Battle Emu god (“Ebeg”) apparently raises a humanoid family (I didn’t know of they existed the whole time, only after the period the other stories were finished, or what), as a “grandfather” figure; he was kind of cartoonish in this set even though he was malevolent and dangerous in others
- the snatched baby from before may have been the father figure of the humanoid family or the young child of the humanoid family - I don’t know
- I know the sex or gender of the child or snatched baby
- baby was snatched as part of some super elaborate long-term plan
- Ebeg wanders around a lot, leaving the child in the care of the father figure (who teaches the child to call Ebug, “Grandfather.”)
- they live in a vaguely hell-like underworld (that might just literally be underground caves; again, not clear) and/or a sylvsn or forested glade.
- the father figure (FF) teaches the child all about the abilities of Grandfsther, while also passing down ancient rituals of some kind.
- the family actually seems kind of happy and mostly stand-offish from the world

One day Ebug was wondering around not-China when he heard some interesting sounds. He checked them out. Turns out it was some Chinese Imperial Soldiers chatting about things. At some point, they saw him and shot bolts at him. A weird arrow (like a light bamboo rod with a fluffy bit at one ends and a small poisoned sharp bit) hits him; he pulls this out, but keeps it to study. He is not too worried, until a bolt actually hits his foot - passes through and out the other side, causing him great pain. He runs, then, though he is successfully shot a second time (this one sticks in him).

He eventually makes it back to his family who are very concerned for “Grandfather” and shocked that he could be wounded. Ebug collapses and they are stressed because he is sick and may be dying, but “the ritual” is coming up and they might not be able to do it right... FF successfully identifies the bolt (first the weird looking poison one, then the one that was a shaft of solid just cold iron or actual adamantine), encourages the child, and begins leading the ritual...

And that is what I’ve got. I woke up at that point.

Oh, and I’m alive or whatever. Love you guys!

Later!

The first thing my manager said when assigning me to the position was, "It used to be a two-person job, but now it's one and you'll just have to get used to it."

They know on the form problem. Their solution is that I just have to pick up the pace. The form itself is supposedly done for error-checking purposes; it's to track what kits went out and what ones didn't. In reality, it gets stuck in a drawer at the mail workstation and thrown in the trash at the end of the month. The managers don't refer to it because it's extremely difficult to find anything on when you are under a time constraint, as my manager found out while trying to fill it out yesterday.

that manager needs to be replaced.

I absolutely despise having a beard. They're itchy, they require frequent maintenance or they look terrible, and they get in the way of everything. However, I have to agree with Cap -- in cold weather they're a life-saver (or at least a face-saver). If I know I'm going into the snow, I'll stop shaving for a week beforehand just to get myself some insulation.

EDIT: I mean, heck, I'm not a big fan of any look that requires maintenance. I like the mohawk, but having to shave my head twice a week is just a PITA!

You have to regularly brush and shampoo it. Even more so if you grow it out to Gandalf lengths, tie a spiked ball at the end, and use it as a flail.

You do have to pay attention after/during meals, it's true; beard oil is also a useful thing to have.

However, I like mine; without it I'd have a very small face and look like an overgrown kender.

Last Friday I finally mailed a box to my sister with the baby blanket I made for my niece and the Joey Ramone knitted doll my sister had requested.

Yesterday my sister surprised me with a photo of the baby and the doll that completely melted my heart.

The hardest part is that it's going to be forever before I get to see her, because my sister doesn't much like my husband and doesn't want us all to come up the way we usually do at Spring Break. (We usually go to Grandma's house, and now she and the baby are living at Grandma's house. So I don't get to see my Mom, either.)

Oh I don't maintain it, it's only there for winter.

There are a few different looks I sport, facial hair wise.

Winter Hobo Captain Yesterday. This was much more pronounced when I was shoveling snow, something about a guy in a grimy coat with a scruffy beard waiting outside a school makes people nervous.

Regular Captain Yesterday, I usually just go with a goatee on my chin with my upper lip shaved as my mustache hair tends to just stick straight out like Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph.

Evil Captain Yesterday, Crookshanks says I look like my evil twin when I go with a full goatee.

Captain Yesterday, Given Up. Not really, but occasionally when you trim your goatee things go awry and it's just best to start over and shave it off, but the General's family only shaves their beards when they've given up and have to look normal (instead of like bikers) to get a job or whatever, so she always thinks I'm depressed or something, and I'm all like "nope, things just went awry with the scissors, I'm good!" still, to this day it upsets her.

So some things are terrifying, even as an adult.

Last night Impus Minor woke us up because there was a skunk in the back yard screaming its little brain out and spraying all over. My mind immediately jumped to "rabies". We checked on the cats and the kids, and they were all safe indoors, but there was still the inner gut-level fear of, "What if one of the kids opens the back door and the skunk gets at one of them?"

I mean, seriously. The kids are 16 and 13, and know about rabies. They are neither stupid nor suicidal. But I still had this fear-fantasy ripping through my gut that I HAD to make sure they couldn't possibly go out, so I tied shut the back door (as I used to when they were little) and bolted the front door.

Fear is a strange, irrational thing.

EDIT: After I'd sealed up the house we spotted a couple more skunks in the back, so rabies became less likely and I didn't call Animal Control, but there was some kind of psycho skunk party going on that I wanted my family to have no part in...

So it's funny. I'm a knife snob. Even when we had no money, I preferred to save up and buy a Henckel instead of getting some cheap stainless garbage. The problem is, you have to wash and dry Henckels right after you use them or they lose their edge, so there has been much stress and hoo-haw in the house over the years as one of my precious, precious Henckels got misused.

After the last such incident, NobodysWife said it was an issue with a lack of cheap utility knives in the kitchen, so I bought a pair of these, pretty much the cheapest knives I'd allow in my kitchen.

And I love their pretentiousness. "Made of real German steel" (in the People's Republic of China). Lifetime warranty (because it's too much of a bother for too cheap of a knife to claim it).

Meh, they're good enough for cheap, "throw 'em in the knife block, use 'em, and throw 'em in the dishwasher" kitchen utility knives.

But I could have done without the fancy-schmancy packaging and the pretense of quality.

see this is why you should totally hire me to stand in for your husband at social events. I'm warm and hilarious. And your husband gets to spend the day doing husbandy things like cleaning and fixing stuff.

My friend sold Cutco back in the 1990's. I didn't like them as much as Henckel. Maybe they've upped it a notch since then.

A couple years ago my mom was visiting and we were working in the kitchen. She asked what knife would be best for slicing the tomatoes, so I gave her one of my sharpest Cutco knives. I proceeded to warn her that it was extremely sharp. She gave me one of those “I’ve been slicing tomatoes since before you were born” looks that moms give. I went about my business until about 10 seconds later when I hear, “Um. Where do you keep your Bandaids?”

If you’re wondering, I definitely did not say “I told you so.” Which is how I am alive to tell the tale.

I actually gave up on my fancy expensive kitchen knives. Too much maintenance. They dulled if you looked at them funny. So I replaced them with a set of cheap Kuhn Rikon knives. I don't put them in the dishwasher, but aside from that no special treatment. They're cheap enough that replacing them is no big deal. Three years later these suckers are still super sharp. I can't mess these cheapies up, and I've tried! :)

Edit: My sister sold Cutco for a while, and they were great knives, but not for me. I've learned not to buy knives that I have to wrap the handle in tape so I can use them. I'm allergic to nickel and tin, so a metal stripe through the handle makes a knife unusable to me. I'm not cool with puffy hands. Salespeople look at you funny when you ask for a knife with a totally plastic handle. And of course there's always the person who insists that I can't be allergic to stainless steel. *facepalm* Yeah, once more, let's have a quick lesson in metallurgy. :/
I should just make a powerpoint that I can pull up every time someone says that it's 'hypoallergenic' so I should be fine....

I napped on the Beanbag of Lumpiness last night because I got lightheaded, and today I fell asleep on the Loveseat of Discomfort. I would have been better off on the floor. (Our living room furniture was mostly bought on sale...and the loveseat was just the cheapest thing we could find because we were tired of arguing about what sofa to get. We also have the Tiny Armchair, which I used to like, but then cats happened and now it's the Tiny Armchair of Scratchiness from all the holes they've put in the leather. *shrug* Nice furniture is for people without kids and pets. :P)
