So, this morning I was supposed to start a new daily course of therapy stuff.
Instead, I woke up at 6am with agonising abdominal pain, and ended up spending the morning at the Emergency Department, where the conclusion is that I have crazy cyst action blowing up my ovaries.
Fun Times also messing up my attempts to get my life in order.
WTF moment of the day: Discovering that the registration clerk had entered my name as Tami, so all the paperwork (including my prescription) were written out for Tami, when she was taking my name and address details off my driver's licence, which says, in clear, Western Australian Government-approved font, that my name is Sami.
She read the rest just fine, but... no. Tami. They're not even near each other on the keyboard.
Meanwhile, I've been playing Nier lately. I got it late Friday (Chas picked it up for me in town), and have been playing it a lot ever since. I really like it, actually.
I was looking for some commentary on it to link to, specifically the unusual element that it's a video game with a character who is not exactly cisgendered, but so far everything I've found is from people who haven't played the game and are making an awful lot of suppositions that I wouldn't say are particularly supported by the game. (Including that she has no clear gender identify preference; I think she's pretty firmly presenting as female, to start with, and then you have the part where Grimoire Weiss makes many, many comments about her being a horrible hussy and all sorts of other comments that are dependent on her femininity, and Kainé has no trouble whatsoever voicing her displeasure when Weiss pisses her off, so I think she'd probably say something. Especially at the point when she still totally hates him.)
I'd warn for spoilers, but, seriously, when you load the game, before you start playing, before the intro movie even rolls, you get a splash screen with audio playing over it that is Kainé yelling at Weiss. In which she calls him names, mocks him for being a little bitch (in so many words), and then yells at him some more. It totally doesn't count as spoilers to tell you that Kainé and Weiss have some personality conflict happening.
