*dead*

I've been watching The Librarians (started as a rewatch but then turns out I'd seen less than half

and here's an episode where they just figured out there are vampires

and one of the characters, Jacob Stone, kinda growls "I don't like vampires"

...he's played by Christian Kane, who was (Eliot on Leverage and also) Lindsey, an evil lawyer on Angel

My amusement at this is vaster than it probably deserves.

Acnh island adventures

So ... I may have acquired an animal crossing themed Switch as an early birthday present.

And I may have decided to create another AC island instead of transfering data over.

Because, erm, utter dork.

I am doing a specific theme: holidays, with one area that's (non-Christian elements of) Christmas with a penguin resident (Sprinkle or Aurora or both), and one area that's Halloween with Lucky the mummy-bandaged dog as resident, maybe a fall-thanksgiving-y area (not sure if phoebe, who's a phoenix, counts as turkeylike?), one area that's (non-Christian) Easter spring stuff with a bunny resident, probably a cherry blossom festival area with Pekoe. I don't have a summer thing -- I considered Independence Day, with fireworks and red/white/blue color stuff and Apollo the bald eagle, but I'm not very rah-America right now.

It's going to be a Project. Especially looking for particular residents. On my first island I could just look for anyone cute, but this requires specific individuals. Plus specific furniture.

But first, I have to get through the story parts of the game.

I set things up yesterday. It took several tries to get a layout I wanted plus a suitable airport color (which I wouldn't care about except for the thing where the color of your airport affects the color of some of the items you can buy). But the island is going satisfactorily, and today I got stuff done such that tomorrow I will have a house and also a Blathers arriving.

It's kind of interesting doing early game stuff now that I know what's going on. A little frustrating at times (e.g. very early on it didn't let me pick things up until I'd learned how; I also couldn't memorize diy recipes until I'd learned how to diy) but also I better understand the context for various things.
