The physiognomy of the teen.

~ Lkvy ~ 2 Comments

I procured new goop that matches the colour of my skin last week. It’s not just a better match than the extra-tangy new formula MAC sent me, but better than the discontinued product I’d used since my 20s. It makes sense I’d find something better, as my complexion has changed after all this time: fewer bumps, but more grooves.

What else has changed? My beliefs, writing style, lifestyle, support system, eating habits, domain, and many more. Nearly every cell in my body has been replaced since I wrote my first blog post 25 years ago.

In case you missed it, I discuss popular sluts aka pluts:

Surely it served as an inspiration to one of the writers for Futurama as Popular Slut Club made an appearance in the 19th episode of season 6, which came out in 2011. (Thanks Jordi, for bringing this to my attention.) So, I’m taking credit for this.

Achieve the stars.

While in Vancouver, I asked Kristen, “Who’s the hottest character in Lord of the Rings?”

“Hmm… good question!”

Is it, though? I can’t even take credit: Zoée initiated it. I answered young Bilbo, but I’d forgotten about Aragorn. I hope that doesn’t mean Jordi will insist on me sitting through his annual LOTR marathon. I like the movies. They’re excellent movies. They’re fucking long, though, and I won’t be ready to commit to 12 hours of watching a stressed-out Frodo chase a ring anytime soon.

Jordi and I are also watching The X-Files. It’s not a show I watched when it was airing. I was a bit too young and alien-phobic when the series started. So far, the episodes are a hit or a miss. The makeup artistry is aggressively bad, except for the 2nd episode of the 2nd season. The show’s budget went towards their top-notch stunt drivers. Were Mulder’s collection of neckties intentionally ugly? I don’t know, but the truth is out there.

My latest accomplishment in Breath of the Wild is slaying my first Lynel. I was rewarded with a sweet bow that fires three arrows at once and hooves. So that I can make glue? No, to trade with one of the moaning fairies who’ll upgrade an item of clothing.

This is my latest real-life accomplishment…

Blurred reality.

A couple of days ago, I got ripped off by a married woman who was flirting with me. She wanted me to light the four torches around the goddess statue in Kakariko Village. She promised a reward.

As the torches stuck out of the water, I lit them using four fire arrows. My reward? 20 rupees. Each fire arrow costs 20 rupees!

But that was a few days ago. Since then, I’ve found and purchased multiple bomb, fire, electric, and ice arrows. I have bonded with three horses: Seacookie, Apples, and Bonbon. I’ve only owned the game for two weeks, and already I’ve played 70 hours, courtesy of COVID.

Link can take selfies with the Camera Rune:

Rather random missions.

~ Lkvy ~ Leave a comment

When I got my current laptop, which does not have a CD drive, I transferred my archived blog posts (dating back to 2000) to Yann’s hard drive. At last, I have transferred those archives to my new hard drive, which arrived in the mail two days ago.

This credit card-sized thing holds 500 gb. I am blown away.

And my archived blog is only 43 mb. Eighteen years of my life amounts to 43 mb of data? What can I say? Back in the early 2000s that was a lot!
