Today is a Good Skin Day. Hair, not so much. Those Dr. Dennis Gross peel pads are some kind of sorcery because they WORK.

My wannabe bougie ass just bought a hairbrush for $150. 😩 Granted, it’s a Mason Pearson and they’re supposed to be amazing quality, AND it was 20% off, but oof. This thing better turn my hair into gold.

Uniqlo had Mofusand shirts on clearance and I couldn’t say no.

I had this! Sold it a while back when I was hard up for money and I wish I hadn’t. It’s a rare and unusual piece.

I was talking with my ex about how Jack Ruby left his dachshund in the car when he went to shoot Lee Harvey Oswald, and then I remembered I made this years ago.

Accommodation partially denied. I wanted to use my AirPods for the noise cancelling feature but they would be considered a “distraction”, so I can use my Loops instead (which don’t work as well). 🥲 Wonderful.

Splish-splash?

I’m the princess and the pea when it comes to sunscreen 🫩

I feel like I got away with robbery at Sephora today. Went in for 20% off and got almost 50%.

Minimal skincare for a disgustingly hot day like today.

I’ve decided I need to ask for disability accommodations at work due to the loud environment making it hard to focus and remember stuff. Now… I just need to work up the nerve.

Today on Sailor Moon, we have high quality rips of the DiC DVDs! These were ripped using MakeMKV and are uncompressed files, meaning they’re ~1GB per episode. I'll look at uploading ISOs soon. Enjoy! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Love watching the mod of a Bob’s Burgers fan group have a meltdown because she is anti-LGBT, yet mods a group for a show that notably has lots of queer characters, including a trans secondary character. She claims she will never watch the show again, but I bet she never did. Make it make sense.

Fingers crossed they’ll all be done by the time I get home from work.

Me at the new job, trying to calculate interest:

Still working on uploading the episodes — it’s taking forever even with a wired connection. Would there be any interest in the DVD ISO files? There’s a torrent on Nyaa but it’s practically dead and they got removed from the Internet Archive. Just trying to find a way to preserve them.

Andy Merrill (Brak) is an Amazon delivery driver. Carey Means (Frylock) got CHF from/exacerbated by COVID & was recently working as a restaurant dishwasher. C. Martin Croker (Zorak) died of sepsis from an infected tooth he couldn't afford to get treated. Capitalism destroys both art & artist.

I met Carey Means at a local con and he's a total sweetheart. The luck he's had the last few years has been horrible.

I'm spending my evening learning how to use effects in Resolve to recreate the DiC title screen for you all.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

They’re here!! Can’t wait to start ripping the last six after work.

It’s June

My sister has threatened to steal my goose bottle if I leave it unattended, so I’m trying to find one for her. Unfortunately they’re all being resold for $120 and up. Fucking scalpers ruin everything.

I had a blast at Fan Expo today! Got my photo taken with Linda Ballantyne and Stephanie Sheh and got my figures autographed by Linda and Katie Griffin. Also got to hang out with @retrosofa.bsky.social again, which is always fun.

occupied

Off to Philly for Fan Expo!

Working on the thing I said I was gonna do. In the process of moving everything to Google Drive for convenience. I didn't bother running them through Handbrake so the episodes are running about 1 gig apiece, but the quality should be good.

My goose bottle is here and I love it!

I’m wondering if it’s worth ripping the DiC DVDs and uploading them to MEGA along with S/SuperS. There are a couple torrents on Nyaa already and I’d need to find an external disc drive to use.

Welp! I just completed the DiC DVD set with a very lucky eBay lot that had all the DVDs I was missing, plus five duplicates. I'll hopefully make some money back selling the extras.

I went to see The Sheep Detectives last night. Cried my eyes out at the end, but loved it. Now I’m writing up accounts for carnivals and circuses, which play a part in one of the rams’ backstories, and it’s bumming me out.

Oh good, I FINALLY got approved for that Golden Girls ARC… a few days before it’s officially released. 🤷‍♀️

No, I did NOT buy a water bottle solely because it reminded me of Untitled Goose Game. Don’t be silly.

Happy Memorial Day to the woman at Sam’s Club who called me a fucking bitch because I pulled into the parking spot she claimed to be waiting, tapped on my window to tell me the same thing, then went into the store to complain about me as well! I hope your day is full of remembrance and gratitude! 🤗

I fell off the porch last week trying to get Clem back inside, twisted my ankle, and now both my legs hurt. Today I almost fell off again just climbing the stairs. When did I suddenly age 40 years?

The sexy motorcycle-riding George Washington on this can of Monster is hilarious. Reminds me of this Alexander Henry fabric my sister bought years ago.

Really bummed at the passing of Tom Kane. RIP, Professor. 😢

One year ago today I was officially diagnosed as AuDHD, confirming what I had suspected for years. I’m still mad ants got to my “Congrats on the autism” cake before I could finish it.

I am going on [checks notes] EIGHT HOURS in the dryer and my clothes are still damp! I stg if I have to buy a dryer for this house because I’m the only one with money I’m gonna lose it

My sister’s payment for the cable bill didn’t go through and I’m wondering why I’m even giving her money for bills if they aren’t gonna get paid. Good thing I’ve got the South Park stream to keep me sane.

Japan is experiencing an ADHD medication crunch. It's not just a supply problem - it's a geography problem. A look at the state of ADHD medication in Japan and why it may be harder to obtain depending on where in the country you live.

Actual picture of me at the new job.

It's here! I still gotta get the mount for the front of my car since I don't want to drill holes in the bumper, but it looks so nice!

Rei, a crow and some iced tea.

They gave me some gifts at work because today is my last day. 😭

I keep finding cool features on my car I probably missed while I was buying it. IT CAN PARK FOR ME, remote start, heated rear seats, digital rearview mirror… I love this car! The big downside is the tires are a weird size. Gonna look into replacing the wheels and tires to 17” ones.

I’m gonna miss processing and cataloging the graphic novels.
