Overexertion at work and emotional strains today plus a footlong Turhamken with stuffing knocked me right the heck out.
That being said I approve of stuffing in a hot sandwich and I appreciate a tart cranberry sauce.

Back from Cub.
Egg prices seem stable at 1.99/dozen but oddly enough no-salt-added tomatoes are spendier.. 1.45 a can or so.
Resisted the houseguest's suggestion that I buy her 5 rotisserie chickens.. at 6 bucks each.

Pork roast in the crockpot, potatoes in the oven for roasting.
This time last year Kwik Trip had 5-lb. bags of potatoes for 99 cents.
No clue about this year.

My dumb butt has owned GURPS Meta-Tech for around a year and only today have I thought to use it for something other than a GURPS Lensman 'it's all Arisian ultra-tech!' setting.
Really glad my wife's doing well in college.. somebody's got to have a working brain around here.

Let me toss this one past you:
'Shipyard': A piece of escapism primarily designed or utilized as a springboard for relationship-oriented fanfiction, aka 'shipping'.
Too on the nose?

Watching Tremors since I didn't feel like watching Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I know I did up Val and Earl at one point in full GURPS but now I'm thinking GURPS Lite.. 75 points.

Watching NOTLD 1990 on Tubi.
I'd almost forgotten about the Loudness War.. ads coming through at 150% or 200% the volume of content.
'Smart TVs' were supposed to take care of that.. guessing those settings turn off every time there's a software update.
Enshittification doesn't seem strong enough.

Today's pre-work conundrum.
My wife gave me a pocketknife last night. Multicolor 'rainbow' blade.
I think it needs a name.
'Stabatha' feels right but I feel like doing more.
Should I seek out an equivalent (girl's name combined with a verb used with knives) name in Mandarin? (made in China)..

Mississippi pot roast was a success and that was about the extent of my accomplishments today.
Had a lot of days in a row of using all my spoons and acting like I'm not disabled.. going to pay for that for a while.

Seem to recall a few years back there was an attempt to make a 'D20 Modern' but for D&D 5E.
Based on movies, I think it was.. Everyday Heroes?
Wondering if there was ever a supplement for Deal of the Century, and/or what films should be counted in the same universe as that movie.

Post-performance depression isn't just for choir, band, and GMing.
Got in the door and started feeling the weight of every bad decision since we left.
Lost time, wasted money, etc.

Junior high was bad, but one of the few bright points was the.. oh, I don't remember the name.
So we had Home Economics.. cooking, sewing, meal planning.. and Shop.. metal, wood.. and then we got to crank up Macintosh Classics and do some CAD.. drafting and making plans.
Ah, 1990.

OK, I just had a moment of sorts.
Googled 'OGRE Battletech crossover' and the AI response not only knew what I meant but had non-SEO-infested answers and examples.
Should I be afraid, or should I be looking forward to a Catalyst Game Labs/Steve Jackson Games collaborative effort?

So I took that image somebody put up of an octopus in plate armor with a longsword and did some GURPSing yesterday.
Going through Bio-Tech and seeing how I'd tweak the listed templates for a more fantasy-esque game with a light 'Dragon Quest' kind of feel.
Picaresque but not mean.
