Had a dream
Apr. 14th, 2020 04:05 amWhere I was making my way through an unfinished videogame to get to a kitten that was being kept in it as a god (Gurgi, actually, the goblin seen here: https://twitter.com/MollyOstertag/status/1249822570737590272 ) and we were stuck in a small town that didn't seem to have much going on until suddenly everyone was in chaos, etc, and I was like 'oh shit! A content patch! THEY GAVE YOU QUESTS!' and I was so annoyed because suddenly the guards were really interested what we were doing there.
I was fine in the town, actually, until I mentioned I was from Canada. That's when things got hairy.
Oh and my computer crashed and dumped all the schoolwork I'd be doing but I think I've mostly fixed that.
6AM edit: I'm leaving that dream up there for posterity of 'what? What am I talking about?'
Anyway, from chat THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING SHERD:
Me, Yesterday:
Actually actually actually we DO have a mystery
one of the vessels went missing!
before they ever ended up in my hands
No, it was all in the lab. But I had done one piece, a very complicated one, at the lab before we took our pottery home so I could get critique on Hard Mode from the professor. And when I was assembling my data by project/trench, I came up with two identically labelled pieces - and one of them was the one I'd done at the lab! They were not the same piece, as far as I could tell unless I had suddenly developed a whole new set of vision problems when drawing it
I found the second piece, the one I hadn't drawn in the lab, in the files of a fellow classmate who also had to draw the same set of pieces (we've been passing them around outside of class in a parking lot like a drug deal. We put them on the ground then scuttle away and someone scuttles forward to take the box) but no record of the first piece I drew
so we may have a record of the missing piece, if we can confirm it when we find it in the boxes
(the second one, I mean)
(we're really intent on not killing each other)
Me, Today:
well, the good/bad news about the Mystery of the Double Sherd is that, in fact, the two different sherds were the SAME SHERD but drawn twice fifty pieces apart. When I have my camera on me again, I'm going to post a photo of the piece and show how something looks when you're totally new to an object and when you've done a whole fuckload of them and have a whole new type of shorthand
I'm sure it'll be educational
anyway love sending those 'oh turns out I'm just a fool and you were right to tell me to immediately find the pieces in question' to my professor who I assume thinks of me as her dopiest student. Wait, no, I have competition. There's the guy who came in drunk to his exam, demanded a rewrite before he saw his grade, but when he found out he passed he turned to the class, held out his arms, and yelled 'YES'.

sigh
I try very hard. I really do. I just wish I could live up to the version of me that lives in my head that critiques everything I do to death. If it could do so well, why isn't THAT version of me in charge of the meat suit?
