If the question is should you go to Disney, the answer is always yes. I wish I could!

By the law of averages, it had to get it right once eventually!

Incredible work! That's a huge amount to lose

I just watched John Candy: I Like Me on Prime and holy heck, what a heartbreaking account of his life. It was great to see how he rose to fame but he was just such a genuinely nice guy who was taken far too soon

I've not 😢 Looks fun though!

Despite taking weight loss drugs, I kinda let myself go today eating crap and too much due to feeling shitty thanks to work and other things. I know I'm going to regret this later *sigh*

I came here to post this 😆

I'm gonna be visiting @mancfurs.org.uk tomorrow. I know there's a lot of COVID going about so hopefully those with symptoms make the right choice and stay at home

Yeah, well I don't know when we hear back about CFz but paying for both will be putting me into debt for a while :(

SlyCat @slycat.uk · 1d

Well bugger me, I am going to @nordicfuzzcon.org! Very far from my first choice hotel but we got in one of the hotels (Best Western). One plus point is that this saves a bit of money as it's a cheaper hotel than the main. I had no chance of getting in main with being over 100 deep in the waitlist

Wow, what a dick. The balls on them to say it to your face too! Ignore that, you know you're awesome

The soundtrack has been available for 3 weeks. It's ok but nothing amazing. Certainly nothing on Daft Punk but then nothing is

Because I don't want to pay for a new machine cos I just can't afford that right now, I've opted for a repair or replace service with the manufacturer. It costs about half what a new machine would which is brutal in itself but it means I'm not contributing more electrical waste and can pay monthly

Oh, happy birthday indeed! I hope you have a good one :)

SlyCat @slycat.uk · 3d

More expenses. Washing machine became inoperable yesterday and just had a guy out to look at it. He basically said it'll be expensive to fix and it would take time to get parts, effectively saying it would make sense to get a replacement machine. The machine is only around 4 years old :(

It's tough being a responsible adult!

SlyCat @slycat.uk · 3d

He's an old kitty! I want a new SlyCat suit as my old one is similarly unwearable. I have zero skills to make my own and it's tough to justify the cost of a fursuit when other financial obligations should take priority. It would help with my mental wellbeing though!

Another Atpaw or a new character?

SlyCat @slycat.uk · 3d

As a kid of the 80s I was fascinated by computers and Tron imagined what happens inside a computer which was amazing to see in a movie. I'm not that interested in the idea of what happens when programs make it to the real world, I want to see more of the grid! I'll likely give it a watch regardless

SlyCat @slycat.uk · 3d

I mean, true. I could have rose tinted glasses for the original but it represented a fantastic idea. Regardless, I'll likely use a free cinema ticket to see Ares this weekend. I just won't be paying £15 to see it at the IMAX like I had originally planned

SlyCat @slycat.uk · 3d

Sometimes a bad film with friends can be fun. Usually when at home when you can riff on it as it goes though. That's frowned upon in the cinema 😸

SlyCat @slycat.uk · 3d

How did you sit through Morbeus? I've not even given that one a chance

SlyCat @slycat.uk · 3d

Why does he keep getting work?
