I am doing so bad at computering at the moment. But I'm so tired, and getting the computer set up seems like such a pain in the arse, when I can just put my tablet on and watch youtube videos/listen to playlists instead.
To that end, I've been watching Critical Role again. I've just started episode 44. I watched a q&a and every time Matt Mercer called Scottish accents "dialects", I yelled at the screen (I know it's not what he meant; people don't pay attention to what they're saying at all. But it bugs linguistics nerd me, and I am in very "poke me and I will yell at you" mood right now). In not the same q&a, Taliesin Jaffe said that Percy is not a nice character, and I was like, "ahhhh that would be why tumblr loves him so much then!"*
I am also knitting. In sock yarn, even though I know that small yarn and needles aggravates my arthritic pains in my hand joints (I don't have it seriously bad, but it's bad enough). It's just something to do that I don't have to think about, and the scarf pattern I'm knitting is so easy, I can practically autopilot it once I'm started.
(I also bought some new yarn for the first time in forever. It's all DK weight (because that doesn't hurt my hands as much. Allegedly), and all cotton. The one brand is super soft already, so it's all snuggly to work with, and the other was hideously expensive (for me) because it's hand-painted and came from PERU).
I have also been baking bread intermittently. Because it is a thing I like doing, and it's a thing I'm good at, and I'm always pleased with the results. (Apart from when I get the Densest Loaf in Yorkshire, but I can deal. That hasn't happened for a while now).
And I've been pining about my crush, but we don't talk about that because he's impossible in more ways than one.

*I have no gripe against liking not-nice characters. There's a whole bunch I like myself. It just feels like the same old, same old at this point. I guess I'm just jaded by fandom being what it is? Or I'm possibly just jaded in general.
