Actually kind of rude of Outlook to send me my own vacation responder. Like yeah I'm at a film festival, but I also have a grant and a book proposal...
An email ending "I'm on vacation checking email between things. Best, Larry." Immediately after is a vacation responder with the sender labeled Note to Self reading "Hello, I am currently out of the office (10/31-11/11) with limited access to email. I will respond as I am able, but for immediate research assistance, please contact the Research Assistance Desk. Thanks!"

I'm very funny in the strahd group chat
A group chat titled Vampire Town featuring a screenshot joking about hitting Dracula with a yank tank and me saying "Also, reminder that we're starting early tomorrow (8:30 MT, 7:30 PT, we fought a war for independence (that I admit I now regret 249 years later) so that I wouldn't have to do math for the rest of you)" because two of my players are in CA and two of them are in England.

Something that's true about my dad is that he signs all of his texts with the smiling nerd emoji because it "looks like him" and I think that's the cutest shit. Love my dad.
A screenshot of text messages from "Dad." They read: Dad: Cards arrived today and will wait to open 🤓 Me: Great! (A little later) Dad: Landed in Newark 🤓 Me: Glad you're back, sorry you're in Newark

Did I upgrade to Patron because I love Letterboxd and want to support the service or because I wanted to be able to color coordinate my #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday? The world may never know...

Hot "girl" vaccine selfie, MMR not pictured because it's gotta go in a weird part of your arm.
A smiling white person wearing blue lipstick and a green turtleneck tank top. His arm has a blue bandaid and a green bandaid in primo vaccination locations. He's just now realizing that the person at CVS who stuck needles in him coordinated the colors to his outfit. Love that.

I'm so happy with how this inventory turned out. Just honestly so much fun to assign equipment thematically and level appropriate D&D Spell names.

These are Astral Projection, Augury, Demiplane, Detect Thoughts, Fabricate, Faerie Fire, Guidance, Hallucinatory Terrain, Maddening Darkness, Mage Hand, Magic Jar, Magic Mouth, Minor Illusion, Mirage Arcane, Scry, Simulacrum, Vicious Mockery, Wish, and Word of Radiance.

All the tables around me at the student employment fair have like... Swag and candy and such. I have a small sign and sheer force of personality. This is going to go great, I believe in myself.

Four days ago, I saw this slushee and I thought to myself "I make a red wine/rosemary/apple pie. Surely I could make gin/basil/blueberry?"
Thanks to enabling from @emmapauly.bsky.social, I sure can! I'm calling it Kornbluh Pie in my head.
Recipe (with corrections) in the alt text.
A blueberry pie fresh out of the oven on a wire rack. A hand written recipe on lined notebook paper. 1 cup water (actually 2), 2 TBSP crushed juniper berries, 3/4 cup of sugar (actually 1), 1/2 tsp coriander seeds (actually 1), 1/2 tsp cardamom, 1/2 tsp licorice root (actually 1), basil, blueberries, 2 TBSP butter cut up, 5 TBSP cornstarch, 5 TBSP flour, dash of lemon (add 1 shot of gin). 1. Sugar, Basil, water; boil, reduce to like 2/3 2. Strain into bowl, add butter while whisking 3. Cornstarch, flour, gin flavors, bloobs, lemon, over heat until thick (actually make a tea of a sort with the gin flavors and add that to the basil simple syrup. Then add the blueberries, ideally a little icy, to a pan with the cornstarch and flour and lemon, thicken, add syrup + "tea") 4. Add syrup, mix smooth, chill until cool 30 minutes 5. Preheat oven to 425° with racks set up in the middle with tray for overflow (actually forget the tray) 6. Assemble pie, bake for 15, reduce to 375° and bake for 45 minutes (actually 35 minutes) 7. Let cool before serving (actually wait like 45 minutes and then dig in with a wildly messy but delicious slice)

Honestly living my best, queer life this weekend. The movies are great so far, but also so is the energy of the crowd.

An overall stellar movie day. Although if anyone has any recs on readings about Kiyoshi Kurosawa I'm def interested. I've seen Pulse and Cloud now, and I feel like I'm missing something because I'm deeply ambivalent about them and people seem to think he's great.

I just strongly suspect I'm going to be ruining my life in two different ways this evening...
