You want fries with that?

I think I may have discerned a pattern to Prince's behaviour and how it relates to his vomiting. Lately, he seems extra needy/clingy/attention whore-y not too long before he throws up. Granted, he's always been a bit of a needy cat, but it seems to be more so when he's getting ready to hurl. I'll have to see if it really is a pattern, or if the last few times have been just coincidental timing.

His neediness at 3am is another matter entirely. I swear I haven't slept a while night through in years. Ah well.

Short post today *and I skipped yesterday. Stupid addictive games* to say I'm off for the evening. Is mah 10 year anniversary (though we've been together ~23 years) and we're gonna go have some fun.

Headachey today, so not much to say. I kinda want to continue with The Witcher a little before bed but it was hard enough to stop yesterday in time to watch The Walking Dead. So It's fair to say I'm liking the game, now that I have to combat system confusion sorted.

There's a fine line between learning a level and the various traps by dieing again and again and thus refining your technique, and doing it too many times where you start to make stupid mistakes.

I'm at that point in Ori and the Blind Forest, an indie adventure-platformer. Don't get me wrong, I've been loving the hell out of this game, the music's great, the images, the story...I've been chugging away at it for a while now. Technically I'm only a little over 27 hours into it, but often a week might go by without me having time to sit and curse at the screen. (It's a challenging game)

I may have to reluctantly set my controller aside and let my head rest, though it seems every time I do that, I pick it up again not five minutes later. I'm on the final escape, and have made it almost to the end twice before getting killed. I may use a trick I tried earlier, on an equally frustrating escape level, turning the music off. It creates such a sense of urgency that I sometimes mash the wrong buttons while trying to avoid the creature hell-bent on killing me.

Having only been a Netflix user for a few months now, the novelty of having a complete season's worth of a show available all at once has still not worn off. However, with it comes a twofold problem. The first is the urge to power-binge and watch everything right then and there. Many people seem to indulge in this, which brings up the second problem, the inevitable online spoilers.

Already I've had to mute someone on Twitter because he kept mentioning details from Stranger Things in his feed, details from episodes that I hadn't gotten to yet. And this was on the second day. Oh, just stay off social media, some people would say, and then you won't get spoilers. With as pervasive as such media is in this day and age, I'd be cutting myself off from many other things were I to avoid it until my viewing of the show was complete. (I have 3 episodes left) I can see avoiding it for a day or two (I have in the past when I wasn't caught up to Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead, but going dark for a whole season? Impractical.)

While I respect that some folks enjoy bingeing on a show, the rest of us shouldn't also be forced to in order to maintain some small element of surprise at the events, stories, plot twists etc. I'm not saying anyone who has seen an episode that the rest of us haven't shouldn't say anything for months, just...maybe a few days? Just to give the rest of us schlubs who don't have the time, or the inclination to spend an entire day doing nothing but watching a show a chance to, you know, watch the show?

This is -not- how I envisioned my Friday evening. *changes password after password after password* Everywhere. All the passwords. Bleh.

So, recently I started watching Steven Universe, as they were playing a bunch on Cartoon Network last weekend. I'd seen the odd episode here and there, and some clips on YouTube and finally sat down in earnest. Much of what I saw last weekend was out of order, and missing episodes but that was enough to cement my interest. I'm currently working my way through the first season, in order, and very much enjoying it. They pack a lot of adult(not sexual per se, just adult...but on the other hand, some of those fusion dances...0_o) themes and messages in to a show comprised of 12 minute episodes. Yup, call me a fan now. :)

It snowed on the weekend, now it's going to be around 60 tomorrow, then snow again(possibly) this weekend. Wish the weather would make up its damned mind. It would also be nice to not wake up with a migraine looming, but I was able to take something this morning around 4 am and it stopped it, but it's lurking again , I can feel it. Blarg.

I suppose I should see about setting up the doctor's appointment that I meant to do once I got my new insurance cards, but it looks like Horizon sent me two dental cards, for the pediatric plan I don't need(but it's attached to the health plan so I get it whether or not I have kids), and can't get rid of.

Bah.

Well, I completed one of my intended goals for today: going to the store to buy a few planners, one for work and one to track Prince's food, medicine and, kinda grossly, but his puke episodes as well. Never did get to A.C. Moore to pick up frames for the assorted arts in need of such. Ah well. Might aim to get that done Saturday if I feel like bothering, otherwise next Friday.

Had a nice meal at Cap'N Cat's, a seafood place in Franklinville, NJ, with hubby, and lowen_kind. Soo much crab and shrimps and mussels and clams (which I didn't eat).

Well, I was going to post something earlier today, but got distracted...oh well.

I did, however, think of a Resolution (or project, since really, not many people stick to resolutions) that I will actually try to keep. Framing and hanging all the arts that are in need of such before buying any new arts. Honestly, I have close to 10 pieces that are either in need of hanging, frames or both.
