This may be the greatest sock imp I've ever made. Behold! The gay frog imp! 🐸 🌈

I'm trapped in my apartment thanks to a snowstorm so that means I've been playing a lot of Cult of the Lamb and fanfic writing! So enjoy this sneak peek at chapter three of Kingmaker, where Narinder gets a visitor while in prison.

Still waiting for the ice to melt. I made another sock imp today and some slightly better than last time muffins. They're flat, but at least they're not melted.

During my last supply run to the dollar tree I found Fight Club socks of all things! Naturally, I turned them into a sock imp.

Ice Storm Journal 9: Finished my storm project. It's...Supposed to be a floor turtle. It lives on the kitchen floor and you use it to mop up spills with your foot. But mine turned out looking more like roadkill. Oh well.

The movie is honestly what I expected the Bloober team remake to be like

Ice Storm Journal 8: So far no icy rain. It was supposed to start here around 3pm and end around 7pm but.... There's nothing? Either it's been delayed, or my muffin sacrifice to the winter Gods have worked!

Ice Storm Journal 7: I have put up a blanket over my bedroom window for when the temperature drops into the single digits tomorrow. I was going to also put up towels over my other windows but my step ladder made this loud CLUNK noise and there's no way in hell I'm stepping on it again
January 25, 2026 at 7:53 PM
Ice Storm Journal 6: At my cousin's request I've taken a picture of the outside world. Don't let the snowy world fool you, that's all sleet. Now to try to figure out how to hands towels over the windows

Ice Storm Journal 5: Still have power! The freezing rain is expected around 3pm so I guess we'll see how long the power stays on. Also this will shock you but the light sprinkling of icy melt that the complex did has done NOTHING.

Ice Storm Journal 3: In a fit of pure anxiety I stressed baked some muffins. I also managed to completely mess them up, probably due to the stress and anxiety.

Ice Storm Journal 2: I have gotten word that the local Waffle House is closed for the weekend. May God have mercy on our souls.
January 25, 2026 at 3:34 AM
Ice Storm Journal: Since we might lose power and get into the single digits later this week I've created a blanket fort out of broom handles, duck tape, zip ties and my largest blanket. May it actually keep me warm.

Oh man I love the Death books! Reaper Man is one of my favorite books, period. And Hogfather. Can't forget Hogfather

Once I worked a job where my boss yelled at me for not coming in during a massive blizzard because if I had taken my job seriously I would have bought an SUV like him.

We sold plumbing fixtures.

I made $10 an hour

I should have laughed in his face.

"Dreamcast", a haiku

Each day he rises.
Asks me, "Is it still launch day?"
"Yes," I lie. "Always."

If you want to know what the 90s were like: In middle school my class was taken to a semi-fancy restaurant on a school trip and all the boys ordered steaks and all the girls ordered chicken and I got called gay for ordering a steak.

Final latch dragon rug update! It is finished! I applied special rug glue to the back and gave the front a much needed trim. Now to figure out where I can hang this up in my apartment!

You know, I knew with middle age would come health issues, I just didn't think all the health issues would happen ALL AT ONCE
