Yesterday was a pray-for-a-coma migraine. I went to an appointment with my GP to talk about a bunch of things, then came home, looked at my computer, realized that yes really a migraine was coming on fast and hard, then logged out. My interrupt meds kinda-sorta helped, but I spent the day in a napping haze.
Late afternoon-ish, there was a marked drop in the symptoms that mean I can't look at the TV, so Peev and I decided to watch Weapons. Which is a decent horror movie, and I'll probably watch it again to see what I missed. You see, Peev was adamant that I not do my usual thing of spoiling myself for the movie, because he'd heard from multiple people to avoid all spoilers before watching.
... yeah. Now he understands why I spoil myself, because being tense and anxious about possible jump scares and just what happens next means I can't settle in and enjoy the story AND causes a low-to-mid level anxiety attack. He gets it now.

The title is because every time there's a Rapture predicted, I listen to Astro Zombies. It seems appropriate.

As some of you may have noticed from my shrieking on social media yesterday, My Chemical Romance announced tour dates for 2026. The closest they're coming to me is San Diego or L.A., and yes, discussions are being had about which show I should try to purchase tickets for. EXCEPT that I'll have to purchase those tickets later, because they go on sale on Friday, right when I'll be in the office for an all-day meeting.
:: wails ::
The Stroppy One pointed out that more tickets always become available closer to the concert dates, and while I know he's right, that doesn't sooth the wailing fangirl part of my brain. Stupid work calibration meetings.

Yesterday I discovered the clothing company Market of Stars, and specifically this duster. I flailed a lot about in on Bluesky and Tumblr, because my god that is pretty and I already thought of two different outfits I could use it with. To my complete shock, someone who's followed me for years and years sent me the money for it, saying they wanted to spread some kindness. I am shocked but grateful.

IG has started showing me a lot of witchy content. Not just the aesthetic IG witches, but people who's approaches are similar to mine. I don't know why the algorithm started doing that, but I prefer it to the hordes of "alt" makeup tutorials done by baby faced, dripping with collagen youngsters. (I found all of them adorable, but found myself muttering "Okay, now show me how to do that with permanent eye bags" a lot.)

As many of you know, my company hosts the all-hands Company Kick-Off event at the beginning of every year in Phoenix AZ, and there's always a costume theme for the first day. The 2026 theme is ... teams. Any way someone wants to interpret that, but of course all the examples were sports-related. But! I came up with a brilliant idea and presented it to my team: we all carry notepads and oversized pencils, and ta-da! We're the writing team. My peeps liked it, so that's what we're doing.
