Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Monday, Day One, Lurgified

Let's be clear. There have been no community transmissions of the plague in Queensland for well over a month. That said, I have some variety of communicated crud and I am not going to be That One Karen to actually cause more problems than I aim to solve.

The caveat... If I want to go to the quack's about it, I have to phone up. Can't book with the app when you got lurgi symptoms. I get it. They need to prepare. Alas, since it is Monday, I am also least likely to get an appointment before Wednesday.

Blargh.

Yesterday, I felt truly horrible and slept most of the day. Today, I have the sniffoos and a head from hell, but at least I'm mostly cogniscent.

...mostly.

I'm not looking at the news today because Lurgi plus wet weather plus the stress of looking at the news is a little too much for my currently delicate constitution.

Challenge #02895-G338: Kind'a Saw it Coming

This is a new feeling, pride in someone else. Unfortunately, it is overshadowed by all this unyielding rage! -- Vegeta

Honestly, it never fails. Spend the better part of a lifetime building up an empire of power only to witness some snot-nosed kid hero gather up a band of five total snot-nosed kid heroes and thereby overthrow you in a heroic example of the power of friendship. The Dark Lord Mephis had attempted to circumvent all of this by seducing every possible

Sunday, Day Zero, The Rest

Twenty-three active cases, all in quarantine. All from overseas. Twenty-three chances for someone to come over with Karenitus. Blurgh.

All I want for Christmas is some global sanity.

Toasty officially has a finished video for Little Lion Man but it still needs continuity fixes which will likely happen off screen. Meanwhile, Toasty's Patrons get to enjoy the WIP until such time as DAYS is done with.

There is a screen cap from LION that is more of a scream cap and I

Challenge #02894-G337: Humane Accommodations

They were a killer. From the time they were young, they got into fights. It was almost daily. The first kill came when they were only 12, they couldn't stand bullies and the first one they killed was one of their parents. Why? The parent was cruel and often struck them and their younger siblings. From there, as they grew older, it was always the same. Someone would be a bully, someone would become cruel. They'd be warned, only once. Then out

Challenge #02893-G336: A Cup of Tea and a Biscuit

Ah little Pib. How about them sneaking back into the captain's quarters and trying to talk the captain into playing dress-up and having snacks, having dragged a bunch of mismatched clothing with them? :-D After all, from experience, boys and girls, don't matter, they always seem to love to play dress-up and then have snacks and juice together with their friends.

Friday, Day Zero, Unfuckening Ho

I am buzzing... more or less. I got rocking and rolling. I cleared out all the meat that was turning blurgh grey, which was most of it. I also fed my Starters and made The Bikkie. Later today I will be getting assorted garbage out of my home. Yay.

Got a lot of Crimbolio presents wrapped on Wednesday, and I have a plot or three. It wouldn't be a 'Nutter Crimbolio without at least one mini plot. But it's confirmed - I

Challenge #02892-G335: An Encounter to Remember

Hey, InterNutter? Do you think we could get the enemy's view of this? I mean, seeing a human tripping big time on stims rushing their camp like that? I mean, some of the enemy survived to report the counter, right? That might be fun to see. Please?

They'd missed one. They'd missed more than one, and they knew it. But it was one that was dangerous. They were barely glimpsed, but all footage

Thursday, Day One, School Hols

Miss Chaos is no longer required to operate on a schedule. Which means that... she was up and full of beans at the usual hour to be so.

I had assumed my own sleeping hours being frelled to hell. What with being awake during some horribly small hours in the morning, before going back to bed. Surprise surprise, I woke up at a little past six. Wow.

I may function better on a weird series of naps. Pity they don't gel with

Challenge #02891-G334: A Precision Instrument

He sits upon a seat on the balcony over-looking moonlit gardens. From behind a curtain, a young man comes, blade drawn, to take his life. Oddly enough, while there were some guards, he actually waved them away and asked the lad to come closer so he could have a talk with the young assassin.

"I currently rule as king amongst my people. We have the Cardinal Law, ensuring that no one, no matter how poor they are, is left without at least

Wednesday, Day Zero, Last Day of School

SIX gorram cases, all from overseas. The Yule Flood probably won't end until half-past january, Twenty-one active cases. I am very nervous about this.

Today's agenda includes going through the chest freezer for everything inedible, unwanted, and just plain old. We need more room in there for the party stuff.

In the news:

  • China's plan to punish Australia by not buying Aussie stuff backfires
  • Murder victim Allecha Boyd finally found
  • Ghislaine Maxwell suffering in prison, boo hoo
  • Muppet press secretary goes after

Challenge #02890-G333: With Double-edged Blade

People call them the Judge. There are other nicknames for this being, of course. Justice. Equalizer. Balance. Redemption. All of these and more their names are through all eternity. A being who watches the world feeling no pain nor pleasure at what is seen. A being who feels no love, nor do they feel hate. They can feel respect, and honor. Kindness and compassion. But also can they feel disappointment and anger. Their job, from the time of their creation, was to

Monday, Day Zero, Doubts

Though someone has had a definite go at the extant "fudge like" I have been told that it's not fudge, it's not nice, it's not great... et cetera.

I'm wondering if I should stop here. It might be smarter.

...but I'm not always smart.

In the "day zero" part of today's blog title, we have two new cases putting the total up to thirteen active cases. Miss Chaos is going to be wearing her mask on the bus for her last week

Monday, Day Zero, PLNs

One of the two cases today was acquired in quarantine. Both are in quarantine, but there's still thirteen cases and acquisition from quarantine is possible.

There's cases coming in from South Australia and into other areas. People are determined to be able to travel for Christmas, but seemingly unwilling to do the things necessary to make SURE they can travel for Christmas.

In the headlines:

  • Conspiracists attempting to prove Covid hospitals are fake end up showing empty wards in non-emergency areas
  • Muppet
