See by having the gym equipment in the basement (kept at a comfortable 54 degrees) I'm encouraged to really maximize my workout before my extremities start going numb

I wish I were a better top.

At least that would make some lads happier.

Hoping the plow comes by before my lunch break in a few hours so I can finally finish up snow cleanup...

Did the traditional New England mid storm snowblow.

My eyelashes briefly froze together, resulting in the world's worst Aeon Flux cosplay.

Every had a day where you planned to pick up a few essentials for a storm and suddenly you're installing new mirrors and towel bars in the bathroom because the ones you had were retro and setting up tvs in the front room because the view of the snow will be better there?

...uh, yeah, me neither.

*opening Tik Tok for more than a few seconds for the first time* So....THAT'S what furries do on there? Huh.

Also apparently everyone had the same complaints about ANE. Gratifying.

Home from ANE and got to say, I was a bit disappointed. Lines were incredibly long, the public social areas were always incredibly packed and I don't think I've ever been jostled and shoved so much at a con. Made the best of it with friends at least.

The best part of ANE is this extremely cool one legged pigeon that hangs around the hotel

ANE pic for the socials media.

Turns out having a gorgeous thick beard is a real detriment when the hotel you're staying at only has a low flow rainfall shower head. Pretty sure there's still soap in there

I finished and enjoyed Avowed, and really enjoyed the world, so decided to try Pillars of Eternity. In the first town, recruited a character and said "That's clearly Matt Mercer doing the voice." Imagine my surprise 20 minutes later, in the same town, when another Matt Mercer joined!

I watch the Pitt with my mother.

The Pitt takes place in a hospital in Pittsburgh.

This season takes place on July 4th.

...

Dear god.

Finally got myself a new scale. Good news, I weigh around the same I did 10-15 years ago

Bad news I weigh about the same I did 10-15 years ago

My new years resolution? Use face wash on my face instead of body wash. That should be doable.

I've been playing Avowed recently, which has fully convinced me that any game YouTube tries to convince me is absolute dogshit is, in fact, really quite fun and worth playing.

*staring into the mirror as I approach 45* Am I vain enough to dye the grey in my beard?
January 5, 2026 at 4:46 PM
I've never seen Elf and I hope I never do.

Same for A Christmas Story.

I kept it active for a while, but I finally cancelled my FF14 sub. Not because I don't like it - I just don't have the time to dedicate to an MMO anymore, and I'm not clear when/if I'll have that time in the future.
January 2, 2026 at 4:07 PM
I've had a circular barbell in my nose since I got the piercing in April, so having swapped to a captive bead, I'm feeling strange and I keep playing with it. Apologies to anyone who sees me at NYE tonight.

I've learned that Amish romance novels are a thing (apparently for Evangelical women) and now I want to write obscene gay novels in that genre. Addicted to that Amish Bussy. Impregnated by the Amish Alpha. Prisoner of the Amish Daddy Mafia.

Every year my mother gets me a bunch of lotto scratchers. I HATE scratchers. There's something deeply unpleasant to me about the feeling of scratching them, and it's frustrating to repeat that same action over and over again on $40 bucks worth of scratchers to end up winning 2 dollars.

Sometimes it's not...GREAT talking with my mom.

We'll do the NYT Connections puzzle together on Sundays on her laptop and she has Fox News as her homepage. The headline was something about the FBI investigating daycare fraud and Somalis? So I said I don't trust anything this FBI does.

The new snowblower worked like a dream, but the snow was light and fluffy - we'll see if there's a more slushy day coming up

The greatest Next Generation debate - which season 1 episode is worse: Code of Honor or Angel One? In my opinion, the script for Angel One is worse, but in execution, Code of Honor is worse (they didn't HAVE to cast the entire alien race as black people)

After some....MINOR hurdles the media server proceeds apace. Now Sonarr is tracking my series and auto downloading as episodes come out - was pleasantly surprised to see the new Fallout episode download automatically and add itself to my library
