impyNyargle. Made the mistake of trusting the cc again and so once more my money is in ~limbo~ for lord only knows how long. Self, learn from this mistake FINALLY, ok?
My weekend was a pretty decent success in terms of remembering to do the stuff I said I wanted to do. Other than the topcoat step, I swatched my ILNP order in its entirety (gonna do the topcoat step after breakfast before I do my nails) which was no small feat. I do love that for most of ILNP's colors, they list the collection they came out in so that makes it easier for my spreadsheet of doooooom.
Had to order cat litter yesterday so I could do the cat box, but it wasn't a terrible thing beyond wondering if the delivery dude even had access to the note on the order or was just that much of a douche. Do not put in front of storm door. I made the note when I ordered 2, they cancelled 1 (fine, aside from them not making it possible to really substitute anything because the search was broken) so it would've been stupidly easy to read the note look and realize OH YEAH, PUT IT TO THE SIDE but no. This jackhole put the damn thing right in front of the door but pushed back just enough that the door still solidly hit it and if not for me being really careful, I could've broken my door.
The having to order did mean I got my daily dose of sun yesterday as I waited for the sun to dry things. It was nice and breezy and so long as I didn't venture too far from the shade, it was nice. Yesterday also solidified my thought that if I had the money/access to a pool that wasn't crowded with people I don't know, I would be the asshole out there at the hottest part of some days just because pool and breeze equal happy.
Sunday's guest lifeguards were quite a few wrens (one sang its little heart out. ♥ ) and a blue heron.
Sunday I also made good on my desire to make lemon roasted potatoes and holy frick were they good. I think the thing I thought was missing was I would've wanted them a touch crispier and also I normally have snitched some feta when eating the lemon potatoes from the Greek place so, that's probably it.
Yesterday I also watched the latested Interview episode and it's insane that in order to get fucking AMC+ to work, I had to resort to casting from my fucking phone. WTF, AMC+???
This was the first episode all season where I did not miss Lestat at all. And I don't mean that like I've been pining for him (as he's been around in some form or another); I mean everything else about the episode was so damn good that it wasn't until the last minute or so when he does finally crop up that I realized he hadn't been in the ep at alllllllllllll prior to that.
Daniel's desire to not die in getting the story, the Talamasca being like "lol, no, we suck at keeping our people alive, sorry!" and the overall dread each time we saw anything from Santiago were all fab. I waffle on how I feel about Louis/Armand because I waffle on how I feel about Armand. He's clearly full of it when he says he couldn't have stopped what happened, but I'll be damned (heh) if sometimes I don't still feel just the tiniest bit sorry for him. This I'm laying at the feet of Assad because I have never given a damn about Armand before. The cafe scene at the end was one of those moments you want to stretch out into a full length episode and also don't because of how it ended. Claudia's brief glimpse at happiness makes it all so much worse, especially given how Louis seems to treat her once they hit Paris and he hooks up with Armand.
I am 100% here for Daniel's ongoing WTF each time he thinks Louis taking one step away from Armand only to realize nope, Armand's hooks are just that deep.
It's been ages since I've loved to hate a character as much as I have Santiago. Like if he'd have pulled his head out of his ass for half a second, he and Claudia could've been great friends. Goddamn vampire politics.
Oh, and at some point last week, maybe Friday, my right knee decided to go on strike and I DO NOT LIKE IT. Yes. Had to shriek that because I will forget the issue and then go to sit or stand or even walk (it changes) and then I remember most painfully.
