Carving pumpkins is going pretty well
A pumpkin on the table with a carving that resembles a Mandalorian helmet from Star Wars I stand proudly behind it in a Bears shirt with a headband that looks like a shark biting my head

Breaking news:

Local tired man creates passable thumbnail, is proud
Variation on the jealous girlfriend meme in which a man is looking back a woman in red who just walked by and the woman who is holding his hand looks offended. My picture is over the man's face and a Shiny Croagunk (pokemon) is under the jealous girlfriend. The woman in red has her face covered by a shiny Barboach (different pokemon) and is labeled "the shiny I told croagunk not to worry about"

Setup the shelves in my new office :)

I have too many pops
5 shelf, tiered bookshelf covered in nerdy materials (each shelf pictured and described separately) The shelf is fairly tall and narrow. Each shelf is deeper than the one above it creating almost a half pyramid look. Top shelf left to right: All Might pop in the box, signed by Christopher Sabat Hercules pop in a large box with a movie poster as the background. A broken brick and piece of wood. These were actually the first ever board and brick I broke while doing martial arts. Second shelf, left to right Goku model doing a kamehameha. He is standing on a box that contains the dragonballs. A stack of manga including One Piece (1 to 3) Seven Deadly Sins (1 to 5) My Hero Academia (1 and 2) and Pokemon (1 through 7) 3rd Shelf, left to right. Nico Robin and Roronoa Zoro pops in their boxes. A ship in a bottle that is actually mini Legos and the ship is the Thousand Sunny from One Piece.

I got a booster box of One Piece TCG (set 10) at C2E2 this year and I just pulled the rarest card I've ever pulled for any game. I'm so unbelievably hyped right now.
Trafalgar Law Manga Rare 7 cost yellow OPTCG card with 9000 power and an on play effect that reads: Reveal up to 1 supernova type character card from your hand and add it to the top of your life cards face down. Then give up to 1 rested Don card to 1 of your supernova type leaders.

I had a fantastic time cosplaying at C2E2 this year. I was a little nervous this morning but everyone was so kind!
I'm sitting on a bench in front of a fountain. I have red tights and a red skirt combined with an orange top and red kimono. I'm wearing red face paint with brush and eyeliner plus some blue makeup to emulate a black eye. I'm in an admittedly over dramatic pose. Me and some friends (all in cosplay) at C2E2

Trying to start working out again

40 knee push-ups
70 squats
40 leg raises and 20 crunches (at least, as close to crunches as I am capable with my belly in the way)
Screenshot from an app called "Click Counter" Shows flip counters at 4, 7, and 4 for the categories pushup, squats, and abs respectively.

Whither is a fun mechanic
Picture of a black mtg card. Power four toughness four mana cost two colorless and two black Card art shows a woman in black leather leaning against a brick wall and carrying bladed weapons. Card text: menace. Creatures you control have wither (they deal damage to creatures in the form of minus one slash minus one counters).

I went through a long streak of bad wonder picks in Pokemon Pocket but this is fantastic! Glad I finally have my boy Snorlax!

And a Golden star beneath the card to signify its rarity. The snorlax is sleeping, blocking a route on a narrow bridge. Oddish, Bellsprout, and Venonat can also be seen. Each are on separate sides of Snorlax; the first two are running away but Venonat is facing Snorlax. Snorlax is a Basic Pokemon. It has 150 HP and a 70 power move that costs 4 normal energy called Rollout

This is one of my favorite bits in Dragonball Z Abridged
A black and white photo of a muscular man standing in the shower and rubbing soap on his chest. Freeza's head is photo shopped over the model's. In context of the scene this image shows as a frame during an attack that is meant to temporarily blind an enemy.

Made a jank, Oreo gingerbread house
A very messy gingerbread house made out of black cookie like an Oreo. The frosting didn't set so it gives the illusion it's melting or just falling off the face of the house. There is a bunch of red, green, white and gold candies as well as a few mini oreos for ornamentation
