crushing - it

the IT part of the title is a private pun, suffice it to say that the past two days have been a lot longer than they should have been. the project i referred to in my previous post has been mostly great, but immediately raised a bunch of issues that needed resolving; i had intended to take today off after doing more than my fair share of hours this week, and it ended up being a half day, and a stressed one at that.

having said that, i did get to take gd and mr smear to the icon festival, where the two of them fought with fake swords and we had a great breakfast before gd felt ill and had to go home. mr smear and i wandered around all the stalls and saw some pretty crazy stuff.

we had fun.

in a surprise turn of events, we were surprised yesterday afternoon by a message asking us to dog-sit again. we agreed, on condition that we received details on what to do in case veterinary services are required, and we received our furry guest yesterday evening. so far things have been good, although we did have one incident of him snapping at mr smear - i made mr smear join us for a walk immediately afterwards and worked on training both him and the dog to re-establish their hierarchy. mr smear's developing a bit of confidence in giving commands, and the dog's starting to get the idea that he actually has to listen to him.

anyway, yesterday evening i sunk myself into final fantasy vii remake, it's absolutely amazing but it's certainly not appropriate for kids.

i spent this evening playing around with quicktime and obs studio for screen recording on a mac, the former i'm hating less and the latter i'm quite fond of.

anyway, i'm very glad tomorrow's friday.
