The view from the midst of the venue is pretty good too.
A pathway lined with tall evergreen trees and bushes, with a stone building to the left.

Not a bad view from just outside the venue.
A bright sun causing a lense flare above Montreal's Mount Royal, as seen from the southeast (Parc & Des Pins). The cross is slightly to the right of the sun, and the Molson stadium is to the left. Further left are some buildings on the edges of downtown. The whole view is slightly tilted, as the view is seen from partway down the hill.

Today's gigs:
From rehearsals in a room behind a pretty chapel (probably deconsecrated?) to a comedy show in a gritty club (I love it but it's not a fancy place).
A wide-angle lens shot through a metal fence of a chapel's ceiling, including a partial view of a painted dome. A photo of a club with cabaret-style seating after the audience has left. To the left, the stage is visible with the curtains partially lifted at the end of the night.

Last day for me, enjoy the view from the stage.
The interior of a club set up with cabaret-style seating and red lighting around the perimeter, as seen from the stage. The staff is in the distance preparing for the day.

The Red Set™ stands ready for the closing week: 4 days, 10 shows, 12 performances.
A stage with red curtains and white lights up top. There is a microphone downstage centre and a Just For Laughs sign upstage right.

Looked down at my watch "what do you mean I've walked less than a kilometre? Oh it's after midnight."

Dads - running low on material as we approach the end of Pride month?

Make some LGBT!

Inspired by the YT video featuring @ginnydi.com answering questions about the original rules for women in D&D, I joked about making a #200WordRPG where men just suck.

I give you: "bruh."
bruh. You are a group of women(cis, trans, nb) trying to get on with your lives, but men keep, well, menning around you. Can you accomplish your goals, or will you give up in frustration? Women actions: Exist, Try. Men actions: Get attention, Help. Whenever a woman declares an action she rolls a d6 and a man takes an action in response, also rolling a d6. - If the man ties or rolls higher, he attempts to help or get attention from the woman, whether she likes it or not. Maybe he’s well-intentioned and holds a door open or cracks a joke. Or maybe he lacks respect and takes something out of a woman's hands or whistles at her. - If the man rolls a 1 he compulsively interrupts the woman and she fails at her action. - If the woman rolls higher and the man does not roll a 1, the man is distracted and the woman succeeds unimpeded and her efforts go unrecognized by the man. Good luck.

People like to complain about the air in chip bags, but can we talk about the empty plastic in Deodorant?

I took my calipers to this thing and there's genuinely as much air below the pusher as there is gel above it, brand new.

I understand leaving some space for varying temperatures, but this?
A stick of translucent deodorant where the plunger is more than halfway up the dispenser.

"Hey Kate, what do you want to do for your birthday?"

Sleep.

(I'm not even home yet.)
A screenshot of the FitBit app showing 29700 steps, 642 minutes in an active heart rate zone, 18.67 kilometers walked, and 4754 calories burned. There is a message at the bottom from the app advising me to "Take it easy: You've really pushed yourself recently! To avoid overtraining, take some time to slow down and recover."

"Collecte de sang" = "Blood drive"

A bit morbid, don'tcha think?

Nearing the end of CSS, and am now into the ridiculousness of creating entire drawings with just HTML and CSS.

"I have completed Build a City Skyline" #freecodecamp
A simple depiction of a city skyline at night with a moon in the top-left corner, all coded with HTML <div> boxes and CSS styling. A simple depiction of a colourful city skyline during the day with a sun in the top-left corner, all coded with HTML <div> boxes and CSS styling. This is just a re-colouring of the previous image.

Finally a photo where the moon is at least more than a pixel-sized dot.

Enjoying the mild weather while it lasts.

And just like that, I'm done the HTML section of #freecodecamp
The exam is "coming soon" ... we'll see about that. For now, onward to reviewing CSS!
A screenshot from freecodecamp.org, indicating that 194 of 194 steps have been completed in the HTML 5 course.

Getting some dramatic views off the IR camera today.
A photo of a screen displaying a black & white camera feed of a stage with a few actors standing at music stands. There is a large shadow of one of the actors being cast on the back curtain.

Happy Elevation launch day / Switch 2 Preorder day.

(Can't sleep but also unwilling to leave bed to go edit this together with proper software)

Alas, Canadians haven't begun a campaign of flooding republican inboxes with lewds. Explicit in this context meant it contained some swear words.
A screenshot from the CBC News app, of one article's headline and image. The image depicts a shelf lined with bottles of bourbon. The headline reads "Explicit Canadian emails target bourbon maker as Trump's trade war intensifies." There is an indicator at the bottom-left to denote that the article is from the Business section, and that it was posted 2 hours ago.

First balcony day of 2025. I'm cozy in a T-shirt and jeans.

Probably a month before I get another chance, so I'll be enjoying the last 10 minutes of direct sun in this spot.
