Insider baseball
Jun. 10th, 2026 12:32 pmcosmolinguistIt's probably not good that I'm now sad that Adrian Chiles doesn't know how much I would love to talk to him about baseball, is it.
He's *also| a fan of a low-budget team that no one wants to go see that isn't that good but weirdly kind of is sometimes!
(Being me, I had also noticed how weird it is that Brits use a lot of language from baseball without seeming to know why they say that.)

My thoughts reading this fic:
Jun. 9th, 2026 04:42 pmconuly2. Wow, this author's note is unhinged
3. and long
4. and not apparently connected to anything omg
5. Oh, wait, she's in the 7th grade!? Well, now I definitely won't leave any sort of comment about whatever the hell that was!
6. Still, she's definitely a better writer than I thought if she's producing this at the age of 12. (The fic, not the author's note.)
It just seems like a very funny pair, juxtaposed like this
Jun. 9th, 2026 09:37 pmcosmolinguistThings I wanted to get done today that I didn't do:
- write that review of the gender-affirming sex toy for a sex blog
- apply for that job
Apparently the reason our bathroom bamboo was so sad

Internal mood reflecting exterior weather
Jun. 8th, 2026 09:53 pmcosmolinguistI woke up early today and quickly spiraled into despair about how it was raining again, about how it was still gray, and about how it was actually cold enough that I should have grabbed long trousers or maybe a hoodie when I got dressed (but I didn't think of this in time and then got too busy at work so just stayed slightly uncomfortable).
But, to my surprise (if only because I hadn't looked carefully enough at the weather forecast, it brightened up into an afternoon of vivid blue sky and fluffy white clouds. Eventually the clouds disappeared, leaving just the perfect sky.
It's ridiculous how much this helped my mood.
It was all I could do to make myself go to circuits instead of just riding my bike or sitting outside. But I'm glad I did: there were only four of us there. And I'm glad of the endorphins.
you can just do a thing that you get the idea to do
Jun. 8th, 2026 06:30 pmmusesfoolI'm not the most superstitious sports fan out there, but I'm a little stitious and so I would not be surprised if the vibes turn rancid at MSG tonight due to the fucking cheeto attending the game. Fucking James Dolan can go fuck. *deep breath* Still, LGK!!!
In work news, my boss informed me that they would purchase home printer/scanner for me if I had one I liked and it was under $500, so does anyone have any recommendations? I would prefer that it be small, as I don't have a lot of room, but could keep it half under my desk if I shift around the air purifier. I'd need a shelf for it, too probably, so it's not just sitting on my 1939 parquet floor.

Two cases where fiction makes more sense than reality
Jun. 8th, 2026 11:28 amselenakDaredevil Born Again: Season 2 : Speaking of plots which work: s2 didn't have the problem of essentially being two shows grafted together, and so not only did they have a well executed overall seasonal arc, but the "new" characters were fleshed out, so didn't feel paper thin compared to the "old" ones. Back when I wrote about s1 I mentioned that all these "supervillain elected to high office despite electorate knowing about their past" plots - which comics came up with decades ago, both in DC with Lex Luthor and in Marvel with Kingpin - never felt as believable as now, it's more that "eventually, enough people see through these guys to rise against them" feels unduly optimistic. But within the show, I bought it. And really appreciated the episode where ( spoilery stuff happens )The thematic importance of this also came to bear in the season's last two episodes where ( spoilery stuff occurs ) Oh, and of course it was good to see (albeit only a few times in the last three eps or so - Jessica Jones again!
but I like to keep some things to myself

Sunday night already
Jun. 7th, 2026 10:02 pmcosmolinguistThanks for all the good wishes yesterday.
I was in bed by 9:30 -- by which time D was already asleep, several hours earlier than usual for him! It made for a nice cozy night though.
I slept until about 7 this morning, and as resentful as I am about losing my weekend to this, it was nice that I could just take it easy, lie in bed (which I normally never do) and read and drink water and be very gentle with myself before actually getting up somewhere between 9 and 10.
And it was a quiet day, but not a bad one. Drizzly weather kept me mostly indoors but I caught up on some stuff I'd wanted to do: laundry, changed my bedsheets, answered some emails...
I made dinner, and talked to my parents afterward -- pretty painlessly this week, luckily.
I'm in danger of revenge bedtime procrastination because I don't feel like I got a break this weekend, and because I'm having the usual low-mood migraine-hangover. But I've done my bedtime rituals and I'm hoping I do get to sleep: tomorrow morning I get to investigate all the emails and stuff that I missed while I was sick Friday afternoon, and I really hope my work laptop is behaving with the USB docking station because it wasn't working for either power or data on Friday morning... Plenty of problems for Monday-morning Erik.

Star City 1.03
Jun. 7th, 2026 05:26 pmselenak( Clearly, someone in the scriptwriting team likes The Lives of Others a lot, and I approve )
In conclusion: Another suspenseful episode of the John Le Carré meets Space Exploration show!
I am exhausted but happy.
Jun. 6th, 2026 09:45 pmajMy home is delightfully spic and span. I spent most of the time deep cleaning, reorganizing and weeding my bookshelves and DVDs.
Everything hurts and I refuse to do anything tomorrow.
