boing zoom dakota!

Oh my word I feel like I have had SUCH a week. I've been busy every day since last Friday, and not sleeping well, and basically I've been running on fumes! (I hate this; every time I feel like this now, I have no idea how I managed when I was like this for longer periods in the past).

Friday I worked, Saturday I had to go shopping for clothes/shoes because I had an upcoming interview, and barely any smart clothes. Sunday I was working, as I was on Monday. Tuesday I had the interview, then went food shopping, and Wednesday I was working. Today is the first day I'm not doing anything.

Add to this that for several of the nights, I did not sleep well. I've slept better since Monday, but it's still been broken sleep so it's not been great.

I also think that I still haven't adjusted to the clocks going back, even though it's nearly two weeks ago now.

I didn't get the job I interviewed for. Partly because I haven't had an interview in ten years, partly because I didn't know what I would be asked, and partly because I don't have the confidence/skill level for the job right now. All of which is fair, and I didn't disagree with anything that was said because it's all true.

I watched Back to the Future on Saturday, although to say I actually watched it is not accurate. It just kind of happened while I was in the room (I did watch the last fifteen to twenty minutes, though, because I always do, because even though I've seen this film SO MANY times, it always grips me). I didn't bother with the sequels, though. It's not like they're going anywhere; I can watch them another time.

Also one of my work colleagues mentioned D&D-ing again, and offered to DM, and somehow I came up with an idea for a character. They are, in part, based on the villain from my Webcomic Which Will Never Happen, and I am kind of excite! However, they are an elf, and a random tweet I saw the next day reminded me that actually I wanted to play a tabaxi (because, yanno, I'll try to be a cat person wherever possible) and I don't think the character would fit a tabaxi. I don't know! I am going to think about this some more.

And finally, I bought myself used copies of Ni No Kuni and Kingdoms of Amalur to give them a go. I didn't like the demo of Amalur when I played it way back when, but I'm going to give it another go. I've been thinking about doing that for a while, but one of the presenters on Outside Xbox is well into it, and extremely enthusiastic about it, and I think her enthusiasm has rubbed off on me. So. That's two more games for the backlog!

And now I'm done, because this feels like a long post, even if it isn't.
