in the deep and dark hours of the night

yamamanamaI slept better than I did last night, which ironically means I was still tired when I had to get up. I didn’t dream as well, dreaming about Ashley and atonement and why she hates me. Sadly, things probably aren't that way in life. Or maybe happily, I dunno. Something tells me she won't believe anything that comes out of Drow's mouth.
White Dragon suffers from multi-part battles and random fights that are just as hard as scripted fights, but really, I can't be angry at White Dragon (or Griloch's Revenge, for that matter, except Griloch's Revenge was mostly pretty easy with a few tough fights against invisible enemies that had really high initiative and are more like black shades than guardians) because I was way underleveled. Underleveled, the fight at the end of Lord Brierwood's Castle is tough but fair and the fight with the evil monks is mostly about summoning meatshields beforehand because they have high initiative and not even close to worth it.
Turns out I'm severely underleveled for Mythril Vault. While I know it has aliens and robots, I have no idea how it works said aliens and robots into the plot.
Probably better integrated than Wheel of Time, but then again.
This isn't a spoiler because it's a throwaway reference to John Glenn and the moon landing, to the Cold War, and to all people, Ann Landers, in the first 50 pages of a 11,196 page series and an inconsequential scene in the 4th book with an inconsequential character.
Right now, I've been listening to sad songs, Cthulhu-themed christmas carols, and Star Man’s theme from Mega Man 5.
On the bright side, I got Fallout to run in DosBox. I tried Sheepshaver but the cursor handles like a shopping cart with a jet engine attached to it. On the other hand, MS-DOS is obtuse, especially when you didn't grow up using it. Like me.
I found Realmz 1.2.2 which I think was on one of the Software of the Month Club’s disk (also, the first version I played) where the character classes had a special title based on their level. The only one I remembered is prestidigitator because it’s a great word. Also, I can spell it. I point this out because there are other, simpler words that I can not spell. Tim also talks about networked play, which remained a pipe dream.
As if we needed a new reason to hate ebola and Julius Evola, it’s killing gorillas too. On the bright side, there are more gorillas than originally thought.
Barred owl’s number is A18-1822. After this, we got a red-tailed hawk who was probably hit by a car and his clotting time is well over an hour, and you know what that means. We have a Canada goose who can’t really fly but he’s very fat and very mean, which means whatever he’s doing, he’s getting food fine, and they’re not migratory, so we’ll probably just send him on his way. After all, every animal we euthanize is some food that a predator or scavenger doesn’t get to eat. If we euthanize them, they have to be cremated.
Someone brought in a guinea pig named Bob to have his eyeball removed because it got infected.
We have a greater black-backed gull whom someone gave a seafood salad sandwich that someone donated, probably because it was somewhat expired.
She cut up some guinea pig fetuses once.
The lights were out because ambiance.
Sierra’s mother burninates carrots in the oven until they’re shriveled black things and then eats them.
Sierra’s father is Korean. Which makes sense.
TJ said there’s room in holding for Kydada to stay. Now that the turkey with a massive bruise has been put outside.
burning question: how the fuck can I spell anesthesia or prestidigitator without a problem but not marriage?
