Wasn't expecting this

cornerofmadnessI went to open my lab 15 minutes before class time and my ENTIRE class was standing there waiting. I'm not sure I've ever seen that outside of exam day. Maybe I'm going to have a good class this year. Crosses fingers.
Sure as hell ain't having a good online class. I have two sections same class, class 70 perfectly cloned from last time, class 71, error message for every assignment and every test. Weeps in the corner (luckily IT was able to fix that).
Went to get more Dexcoms sent since no one reached out to me. Oddly can't find any emails from Edwards (mailorder). weird. Goes to their site. It claims I'm not a member. I call them and she says you're not an active person. I said look you shipped me shit in April (I get these once a quarter) So we try to make me a new account and I find old stuff on there from previous times I had Medical Mutual (or so I thought) We get my stuff ordered by they have the wrong phone number which I change but I SHOULD have kept it because OMG when I looked up the area code just now it's 409, fucking Galveston Texas (where the other Dana is) and the mother is listed as Mabel. I was laughing about that until I looked her up a second ago. There was a Mabel Louise Evans is Galveston TX who died in 2017 (which is after the first time Edwards (an OH company) has me listed as a patient (I was back in 14 when MM wouldn't pay for my needles/test strips at CVS)
Have I found the other Dana? Can't tell. No children listed in Mabel's obit (because now I'm down the rabbit hole) and even if she IS the other Dana, I erased the phone so I could change it for my own. I can't even with this.
Also made an appointment with Aspen dental because my dentist can't see me until nearly halloween. This tooth socket is hurting more and I am wondering is there a bone shard or something. I can't get to aspen until two weeks from now. Better than two months
So fannish 50 and the women of fandom.

fandomgiftbasket is open for about another week. I did sign up and included my two new fandoms (the two below)
First up Hazbin Hotel news. 8 pictures dropped (while they're all mildly spoilery, one with Pentious is rather upsetting in a way (in that I hope that this won't be dragged out)
So I finally watched the entirety (so far) of The Amazing Digital Circus (and wished I had done a deeper dive before speculating on Caine on Bluesky...but it's Bluesky so no one is listening to me anyhow. Did not know that Caine was meant to be an AI) Because I didn't know this was based on a Harlan Ellison short story (For I have No Mouth and I must Scream) and I'm debating...did I read this back in h.s.? I hated Ellison but all my geek friends (all men) loved him so I might have pretended to read it or listened to them talking about it. Anyhow alittlebitfrank has a nice bit here
So we have four women (Zooble, Gangle, Ragatha and Pomni who is the main pov character) this is a 3-D animated (not my favorite style) and we really don't know much about any of them because of the short run and the long period of time as this is indie produced (sort of) (which has led to lots of creator talk I didn't know about)
I liked Ragatha quite a bit
She's the second best developed of the women. We know she likes softball and had an overbearing mother who was so highly critical Ragatha has become a toxic positivity people pleaser. That's not really the interesting part to me. The two things that really interest me with her is she is very determined to protect Pomni (even from Jax) and is all but trying to force a friendship with Pomni (looking worried and jealous of time spent with Jax) and the fact she hates Jax. Yes Zooble and Gangle do too but in Rags case it seems more than just Jax is an asshole who tries to bully the others (is it a coping mechanism to keep people at arms length is a post for another time) Did she and Jax have a closer relationship and now they don't? Did he hurt her deeply? Does she have reason to fear him?
And of course we're meant to like Pomni
She's the main character. The first two episodes she's shell shocked, not interactive but we see her (and the world through her eyes) beginning to adapt to this weird world. She makes bonds rather easily with most of the characters including Jax. She seems to have a very good handle on him actually.
I'm curious where they'll take her. She is the catalyst for most of the deep explorations the show does, especially of mental health issues. It's interesting.

I'm sorry you have to wait so long to get your tooth looked at. Even two weeks is too long with tooth pain.
