+ Had to overnight petsit my brother's neurotic hunting dog. That's always an Experience. ;V Nothing like being jolted awake at midnight by howling because someone heard a car pass by outside... (He's a good boy, but man, I am not a dog person.)

+ Went to do advance voting. Not feeling optimistic. The only local campaigning I've seen was for varieties of conservative - Regular Conservative, Double Conservative, and Extra-Spicy Wingnut Conservative. There were other options on the ballot, but I sure haven't heard a peep out of any of them. Business as usual, then. (Ugh.)

+ Did some geocaching today, and unlike my past three attempts, I actually managed to find the damn thing this time. Hooray! I was starting to think I'm totally hopeless at this. ;p Since I'm going along with the Wonders of the World in-game challenge, I have to be more selective about which caches I look for, so that I'll be able to get the correct stamps. I have a strong preference for urban geocaches, but this thing has led to some bushwacking instead. It's a very different experience.

+ I've finished listening to The Magnus Archives. Still processing. Entry will follow once I've sorted out my impressions of Season 5. (Hopefully.) Aside from that, I'm trying to figure out where I want to go from here! Re-listen to TMA? Pick up Night Vale again? Something different altogether? Who knows!

I haven't listened to it but Jonny "Not Fictional" Sims narrates the audiobook for Thirteen Storeys, iirc. I did read the book and really enjoy it, though. Big TMA vibes.

What was in the geocache?

[yuuago]

I reaaaallly want to read Thirteen Storeys. Probably going to have to ask the library to order it. ;V

The geocache was a micro! Which means it was just a tube with a log paper stuffed inside for people to sign. Not as exciting as some, but still a satisfying find. :D

Ooof, I can relate on the dog thing. My housemate's dog barks whenever anyone gets too close to our house, especially if my housemate isn't home. And sometimes if he doesn't notice someone has gotten close to the house he freaks out when they open the door...last night I came home from a game night at like, 12:30 am, and he came HOWLING down the stairs until he heard me talking and realized I was allowed to be there. Makes him a decent alarm system but like, not one my housemate probably wanted in that case. XD

Aww, puppy. xD YEAH, like... good to know that there would be an alarm if something Happened, but geeze.

Ours barks if he so much as hears a plastic bag blow by on the street. xD
