Wahhhh! Oulangi has gotten me hooked on Kingdom of Loathing but I've run out of adventure turns and I'm full so I can't eat anything to get more!

(I am now a level 4 Disco Bandit--a "Jiggy Grifter." Also, I have a two-pound mosquito familar with six kills to its name. Whee!)

(Wait, what's this about a game-wide reset in the future that will leave everyone back at square one with nothing but a name? No! I have a lot of meat! Argh!)

Working on Titanic today. Sort of at a plodding stage--nothing very good or interesting is coming out, but I'm treading water until something comes to me, just sort of picking at what I've got, which is scattershot indeed.

Household in a general uproar over my sister's decision to drop out of Culinard (maybe). She's already dropped this quarter, and it's all too easy to just not sign up for the next one. On one hand, all the fussing and arguing over this stresses me out--it's like secondhand smoke. On the other... wow, do I so not feel anxious about going to my one little Milton class next week in comparison.

Had a talk with Mom last night--it was mostly about the Sister Girl issue, but it turned into a discussion of how all that is also stressing me out, and how it would really, really help if she stopped trying to micromanage me. (And it would really, really help if I made enough money to finally move the hell out of here. But I digress.) I think it was a good talk; we'll see if things change, but she seems willing to back off at the moment.
