I have no profundity to share with ya’ll given the holidays and the imminent end of 2024 but I will give you a stream of consciousness list:
There’s nothing worse than having Christmas and corporate tax estimates due around the same time of year. Way to ruin the festivities GOVERNMENT.
I think my favorite Christmas gift in the last five years was a sweater shaver. So…I’m officially middle aged now.
My 7-year-old spent all day “teaching” me about video games because I didn’t recognize some Roblox character called “Granny”. :/
I fell of my restricted non-gluten-dairy-sugar diet and gained six pounds in the last four months, but I really like my life better, so I’m going to devote time to analyzing this phenomenon while I eat a cupcake.
I’ve tried to get into BlueSky but realize that years of people attacking me and policing what I say on Twitter has taken the toll and I am struggling to have fun in the short-form writing format again. I’m gonna make an effort to loosen it up again. But then again…why? Again, will think about this as I eat a cupcake.
The worst earworm of the year is the 10 seconds in Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” after the chorus and the bass goes “dun dun dun, dun dun” *clap clap*. Here it is. Have it haunt your dreams too.
I’ve run into so many women around my age who are resurfacing their face with all kinds of chemicals and acids and lasers and it makes me sad and also, who wants skin that is so shiny that it looks like the surface of an ice rink? And then everything is plumped up. Lips. Cheeks. Everything plump and shiny like a balloon animal. I dunno, I just don’t get the aesthetic, ladies, let’s just like our faces, ok? Or maybe I’m just too cheap and lazy to put effort in anymore. Probably both.
Cheeseburger in a tube anyone?
Half of my life is either making, retrieving or resetting passwords. Someone just stick them all in my retina and let’s get this phase of technology over with.
I’ve been saying “this year sucked” for the last five years now, since Covid started, and I’m not going to do it again. 2025 is gonna be as amazing as I, personally, can make it. (I know the world will try to mess with this resolution: COME AT ME, I’LL FIGHT YOU!)
I was gonna do 12 of these for 12 days of Christmas but whatever.
Interesting Links:
A Russian family lived alone in the Siberian wilderness for 40 years with no outside contact. The story is kind of sad but very interesting. And cold.
I’m really enjoying the new game ChefRPG, it’s like Stardew with more ham.
My daughter loves this graphic novel “Nell of Gumbling” by Emma Steinkellner, and I do too. Def pick up if you have a kid 7-teen who likes fantasy and great writing.
Personal Links (Also Interesting):
Remember that 10th streaming anniversary that was supposed to happen in October? Well…yes that didn’t happen because I got busy narrating Gail Simone’s “Red Sonja: Consumed” novel (pick it up, I get to be a badass!) But I have rescheduled the event for 12/10 next week! Ten games, ten hours to celebrate ten years. Mosey on over to my Twitch Channel 7am-5pm PST and help me raise money for the Girls Make Games Charity fund. We’ll be giving away a really cool item every hour, including a PS5 at one point! And if you can’t watch, you can donate HERE, the $$ goes straight to the charity.
My Felicia Day 3D account on Thangs has all The Guild and Axis of Anarchy minis available, as well as gorgeous display stands to go with them.
“The Guild” musical might have a staged reading in LA the spring, with online tickets avail in the new year… Keep subscribed here for details and dates. ;)
See you next month, and on my Discord channel in between for chatting and friendship! <3
oxxo

"let’s just like our faces, ok?"
Yessss pls. They all look so fucking alien when you mess with them. (And I'm pretty sure all those fillers end up in the lymph nodes)
(Tangentially related, I watched a recent Naomi Watts movie and was like "omg she didn't fuck up her face like the rest of Hollywood" -- isn't it wild that this came to mind?)
Rock on, Felicia. Make 2025 THE YEAR! 🫶🏼
