Game Grumps has been playing TCG Card Shop Simulator, and I got influenced. The first part of the game is pretty slow, so I've made my shop into a mandatory karaoke bar where -I- do all of the karaoke. You wanna buy cards? Listen to me sing. You wanna sit and play your card game? Listen to me sing.

I changed antidepressants recently, and on the back it says "may cause drowsiness." So of course I've been taking it at night. I've been having the worst insomnia. Today it hit me: when I take Benadryl, which has the same warning, it's like I've drank 4 espressos. Time to try taking it in the day. 🙃

XLOV won the "Stage Champion" award at the music show Show Champion, for this performance! youtu.be/DERiKlkTaKw?...

Like this monstrosity, at one point, used to be a Tier 2 eco home!! I took something so lovely and made it into... this. Yes, there's an entire room that's basically floating. Don't worry about. There's two whole columns holding that up! 🫠

My legacy heir Greta had her first baby. Her wife wants 6. No, girl. No.

Truly WTF. Also a reminder that you can still uninstall Copilot, at least for now. It'll make your start menu a little weird (but not broken) when you use search, but whatever, worth it.

#TheSims4 question: How on earth do people make legacy challenge houses that aren't a hodgepodge of rooms and that look cute? All of mine start out as normal houses and then I keep adding on whole rooms of focus objects, or whole rooms of creativity objects, etc. Hideous.

I have spent All day Putting together This freaking desk Which is to say My back hurts And I am tired

Essek and Caleb at Jester and Fjord's wedding party, k-i-s-s-i-n-g #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers #shadowgast

My Legacy Heir's wedding was such a glitchy mess, but what did make me laugh is I didn't realize that the only male there was her teen nephew. 😂 He and his sister (also twins!) were the ring bearer and flower pal, but they aged into teens literally minutes before the ceremony.

My generation 2 Sims 4 legacy heir is a vampire. She and her twin sister were born vampires. She finally learned enough to cure her sister, and decided to remain a vampire herself. I realized: Oh my god, they're no longer the same age. 😭 So I made her invite all of her sisters over to for selfies.

Inkigayo finally uploaded the 4K, full stage performance of XLOV's song "Rizz." Still censored.

I thought some things from The Sims 4: My Wedding Stories pack had been fixed? But no. Just had the most annoying, must bugged wedding I've ever had in the game. Also THREE separate guests showed up in wedding gowns and almost everyone else was wearing random stuff for "formal wear." 🙃

XLOV performed on the music show Inkigayo and got ridiculously censored. Half of Hyun's first verse is completely blocked out. "Take it slow, BOY, I'm gonna kill it hard, like, yeah." Then the camera work cuts out all of the "scandalous" dance moves.

I looked at Lane Bryant for jeans and they're trying to charge 100 fucking dollars for a pair of jeans. Get out of here.

I was weirdly tired at a normal human time, so I went to bed. Woke up like half an hour later to pee. Went back to bed. Woke up another half an hour later after having sleep paralysis. Went back to bed again. Woke up an hour later after have /more/ sleep paralysis. Gave up on sleeping.

My rolling bed desk just broke. One of the crossbars fully snapped off for absolutely no reason. I am very thankful it broke while it was rolled over my bed, because otherwise my monitor and my Switch would've tumbled to the floor. 🙃

The mall gave me a migraine! I was in there for /maybe/ 10 minutes. I went in, returned something, and on the way out got hit with a migraine totally out of nowhere. Normally I have warning before I get one. Luckily I was with my mom so she could drive home.

Mood, by noonsillustrations on IG.

For reference, THIS is what XLOV's "Rizz" is actually supposed to look like when everyone is doing their own parts. youtu.be/f6oZjIaUnAc?...

XLOV doing part change choreography is one of my favorite things. It's so freaking funny. Everyone has to do the choreo of another group member, except they get SO confused as to who goes where, b/c it's very different from what they've practiced. Hyun is ever-confused. youtu.be/rJpRZKjB17k?...

Whole bunch of stuff beginning to make a lot of sense.

Holy shit, Mark and Ethan and Amy are on a live stream talking about Unus Annus?!

CW// pet death He was such a good, sweet cat. He'd always let the others cats lay down on or nearby him, no problem. He'd give them baths. Here he is with Mimi, who's also passed away now. Here's him looking beautiful.

CW// pet death My elderly cat passed away tonight. I am distraught, to say the least. I knew he was very old, but I didn't expect for him to go so suddenly. I checked on him every hour this evening to make sure he was warm enough since it's cold tonight, and then the last check he was just gone.

Guy seething with jealousy: Well, I think the normal sky is already pretty cool

Dang, Wumuti!

Me, in almost-tropical hell: I'm just gonna step outside. You know. Check some things...

go outside right now and look north! naked eye visible from seattle and it’s not even fully dark! #aurora

I would genuinely cry with joy if I saw this IRL.

I have /such/ a visceral reaction to that dang Elf on the Shelf. First of all, it really creeps me out, Topo Gigio style. Secondly, no. Just no.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Fascinating inside baseball. The omission of those seven words is easy to miss, but it points toward a sharp dispute behind the scenes—KBJ wanted to make it as clear as possible that she did not support extending this stay any further.

Oh my god. Brennan Lee Mulligan is on the show Last Meals and they decorated his pizza box! Come for the hoot, stay for the growl!😭

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

I'm about to go to bed but HAD to post about #XLOV's performance on The Show. They played both "Rizz" and "Biii:-P." Wumuti makes this face when he says this line during "Biii:-P": "안녕 내 이름은 freak" ("Hi, my name is freak") 😂

Oh, I partially lied! Tomorrow, if I feel well enough (I think I should!), I'm going to go buy stocking stuffers for my parents and the cats and then food pantry items for the indie pantries I know of. THEN I will be done Christmas shopping (and I'll help fill the pantries again next month, too).

Because I'm on these strong antibiotics for the kidney stone damage and the UTI, I'm not allowed /any/ anti-indigestion meds or anything that will lower the acidity of my stomach. 😭 I have GERD and Gastroparesis (which exacerbates the GERD) so this is the worrrrsssst.

I think... I think I'm 100% done Christmas shopping? This might be a new record for me, getting it all done weeks before Thanksgiving, even.

I speak to raccoons on the porch like a bouncer at a bar trying to get rid of an overly-drunk patron. "You gotta go man. There's nothing here for you, okay? Just keep going that way, you'll see the exit right there." "Don't think I don't see you. I see you coming back in! Don't do it, man."

I'm sorry. This Weather.com headline is just a Chuck Tingle book title.

It's so cold that I'm about to have to put on socks. 🤢 I'm wearing a tank top and shorts pajama set... covered with a Comfy hoodie. I hate socks so much but my feet are so very cold.

And because my body is apparently not in enough pain and trauma with the kidney stone and a UTI (this is sarcasm), it thought it would be a great time for my period to start, way earlier than normal. I'm guessing I've been so stressed my body is just like, "Get this shit out of here while you can!"

Ooooh I am not looking forward to seeing my Emergency Room bill. I think just going and being seen, generally, is $500. Plus the meds. Plus the labs. Plus I had to have a CT scan so I assume that's at least $1000 by itself? My low-end guess is the total will be around $2300. What a fun game! /s

This shit is why I'm dreading having to help my parents buy a new(ish) car soon. They will never understand this. Cars have keys! That's how they work! I still drive a 2010 model partly because it has real knobs and buttons, and no touch screens.

XLOV has just... whew. The choreo is wild with the splits and that move where some of them are on their knees. And then the lyrics! "Take it slow, BOY, I'm gonna kill it hard," "Tryin' to taste your juice now" and "입을 닦아 일상처럼" (Wipe your mouth like it's a daily routine)! 👀 youtu.be/f6oZjIaUnAc?...

Preface: I'm currently fine. I haven't been on here this week b/c I've been SO sick and in a ridiculous amount of pain. I finally went to the emergency room this morning and I have a kidney stone and a UTI (from said stone). 100% the most painful thing of my entire life, no joke.
